APPROVE NEW
CURRENCY BILL

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE Aid
rich Currency bill was met with disap
proval and the Fowler bill was criticised
at a meeting of the Board Of Trade at
the Bourse last night. All currency legis-
lation should be dropped by Congress, de-
cided the Board, and the solving of the
whole question is recommended TO be
placed before a mixed commission com
posed Of members Of Congress, bankers
and others.
A report submitted by committee
which has been investigating the ques-
tion for two months decided In part as
follows:
''The committee believes that enough
actual coin and currency now exist in the
country for the practical purposes Of bus
mess. and that, the acute stringency caus-
ed by boarding having passed, no merely
emergency measure is now necessary.
What is necessary in new legislation is
a measure that will give continued conf
dence in times of stress as well as in
times of general prosperity. All currency
should be based on gold and complete
redemption system provided. so as to
maintain this currency at par.
"The system of the Fowler bill which
provides elasticity by enabling banks I'M
der proper regulations to take out addi-
tonal currency in various localities or
zones may be calculated to aid business
in the different parts of the country as
currency may be needed, but, being ex'
perimental, it should be carefully consid-
cred before being adopted.

PAPKE DEFEATS
HUGO KELLY

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Mar. 17-Billy
Papke is so-day the undisputed con-
queror of Hugo Kelly. No one who
saw their fight last night doubts this.
Papke put it all over Kelly and the lat
ter was as game as any one could
want. The fighters put up ten rounds
of the hottest scrapping seen in a long
time Kelly to-day claims an injury
10 his right arm and his physicians
say a small bone was broken. Accord
ing to Kelly thea ccident happened in
the second round. 1t was noticeable
that he did not use his righ after the
early rounds. 1t was not a pretty bait
tie. Neither man gave a fancy exhibit
tion, but there was give and take slug
ging, and hard fighting that made the
scrap one long revel Of pleasure to the
onlookers. Papke insistence upon us
ing his head in clinehes slightly mar
red his performance. His tactics be-
came so noticveable that he was finally
warned. In fighting predominated and
in It Papke proved himself superior
TO Kelly He also knocked Kelly
down once Towards the last Kelly
weakened, but Papke could not get
over a decisive blow.

stores Officer

Although a military examining board de.
clare Captain George II. Carter. OF Com.
pany r.. Organized Militia of Della
ware, to have been guilty Of impro-
prieties as an officer Of the guard, and
recommended that he be suspended
from the service for three months,
Governor Lea has overruled the fnd-
ing Of the commission on the ground
that It was contrary to law and has
ordered Captain Carter restored to the
ranks He Is. however. aemonAssAed
Ito be more careful in the future.
The order bearing on the subject,
whcih was issued from militia head
quarters to-day, follows:
The recommendation accompanying
the report Of the board Of officers, con-
vencd by Special Orders No. 1, A. c..
O., C. s.. at the request of the COM
manding officer, First Infantry, for the
purpose of examining into, and report
ing upon, the capacity, qualifications,
propriety OF conduct, efficiency and
abality Of Captain George H. Carter.
Company f, First Infantry, to perform
the duties of a commissioned officer OF
the Organized Militia is hereby pub
lished:
After considering the evidence
brought before us the finding of this
board is that Captain George II. Car
ter has the capacity and qualifications
to perform the duties Of an officer OF
the Organized Militia Of Delaware, but
his propriety of conduct, efficiency. and
his ability has not been Of the highest
order as an officer. and we recommend
that the said Captain George II. Carter
be suspended from duty for three
months, and that he be reprmanded in
general orders, and that he be dropepd
ten numbers in rank.

The sentence recommended by the
board, not being in conformity with
Section q, Chapter SO. Volume "a. Laws
Of eDlaware. is disapproved.
After a careful review of the testi-
mony in this case, it is apparent to the
convening authority that Captain Car
ter has been negligent in the dischars,
of his military duties. He is, there
fore, admonished to be more careful in
the future.
Subject to these remarks Captain
Carter will be returned to duty, and
the incident closd.

STRANGE TALE
OF MURDER

WHEELING, w. Va. March IL
The arrest here to-day Of Charles
Cooke and wife and James White by
the police has unraveled a mystery,
and one Of the most remarkable stor-
les on record has come out. The body
of Charles Bennett, of Kensington, was
found floating in the river some time
ago and suicide was suspected.
This morning Cooke was locked up
on information furnished by his
mother, who also persuaded him TO
confess. Eliza Zane, descendant Of the
founder of this place, entlced Charles
Bennett to the West Virginia fair
grounds. She had planned with her
lover, Charles Cooke, 10, and Charles
White, aged 0, to meet here there, and
when they found them 70 assault and
rob him. This was carried out, ana
when the two men appeared Cooke
knocked Bennett down with his gun.
THE woman hit Bennett over the head
with a big club. Cooke then held his
head under water until he was dead.
Then they cast his body in the river.
with S37 they secured the Zane girl
and Cooke got married and left for
Pittsburg When they returned TO
Wheeling a few weeks ago Cooke was
almost in a state of collapse from
worrying over his crime and confessed
his crime. White is also under thhest
and absolutely denies the whole story.
