A LITTLE Squirt
4 IN STOCK TRADING
But Encouragement Overcame
Traders, and Market Sank
Back Into It's Letllargy.
DECREASE IN CAR SURPLUS
American Railway Association
Report Indicates Improve
ment in Freight.

NEW YORK. March 6.-Professional
operations in the stock market were
on a larger scale than recently Curing
the early hours of the days session at
the Stock Exchange. Discouragenent
then overcame the traders again ut the
small response attracted by their ct
: forts, and the market sunk back into
its lethargy. The price fluctuations
were narrow and the bulk of the day s.
moderate business was transacted in
tic first two hours. Traders were
inclined to operate on the long side OF
the market.
The reduction in the Bank OF Eng
land official discount had slight eff
I. feet abroad or here. The accumula-
ton OF banking reserves in foreign CEN
tres and in this country Is recognized
as having the common cause of dcclin-
ing the days activity, and evidence
of money supplies for this reason is ac-
. copied with mixed sentiments. In the
same way the collateral effects of the
economies by the railroads to meet the
decline in earnings come in for cal
ctlation.
= An item in the days news that gave
qualification was the decrease in sur
plus of freight cars reported by the
number reported on February 10Th fall
ing to 32o513. compared with 3i3,92s
on February 5th.
=: The details of the tables seemed TO
show the Improvement largely spe-
Eastern or Middle States.
News of an important bank failure In

80 YEARS, SEARCH REWARDED.
Picture Found on Body Of Soldier In
Civil War at Last Identified.

Paterson, N. IA daguerreotype of
a young man and a girl taken from the
body of a union soldier on the battle
field Of Charlottesville during the
civil war has been returned to the girl
in the picture, Mrs. T. w. Stowe of
Milford, Conn, after a search lasting
33 years.
Former Freebooter Edgar Written
our, a mineral water manufacturer Of
this city and Hawthorne, conducted
the search for the owner Of the pic
ture.
The daguerrotype came into the
possession Of Nj. Whritenour through
his wife. Mrs. Whritenour's father, N.
Barnes, who was a member of the
Thirteenth New Jersey volunteers,
was captured during the war, and the
daguerreotype was given to him by a
confederate soldier, who explained
that the picture had been taken from
a dead union soldier at C%hancellors-
vile.
On the back OF the case were found
the names John Rawson and Nellie
Augusta N~ettleton." The case also
contained a needle. piece of. thread
and a lock of hair.

Relatives of Washing ton.

George Washington. the father OF
his country las no living descend
ants. his married life not having been
blessed with issue. But many kindred
Of Washington are living today, some
of whom dwell on and about the orig
inal Washington plantation in West
moreland county. Virginia. Guy E
Mitchell, in an article on the living
relatives of Washington in the Tech
nical World Magazine for February
says:
John Washington of Brighton par
ish, Northamptonshire. England, came
to Virginia in 1867 and bought a farm
on the Potomac river between Bridge
creek and Pope's creek, in what was
then Northumberland county. He
bought the farm from Colonel Pope, q
great landholder in the early colonia
era, and whose daughter, Anna Pope
became the wife of the immigrant Johr
Washington. These were the grand
parents of George Washington the
Great.
John Washington through his mar
Tiage to Anna Pope obtained lands
outside of the farm purchased by him
The original farm is owned by JOIN
E. Wilson, who married Miss Bett!
Washington, granddaughter of William
! Augustine Washington, a nephew o
George Washington. Mr. and Mrs. VIII
son are advanced in years. A score o.
| more of Washingtons live on their an
cestral lands and within rifle shot o
the spot where George Washington
was born.
Some of these people are prosperous
farmers and professional menc other
are not prosperous. They are all plan
and simple folk who have the good viii
and respect of their neighbors. I
peculiar thing about this family is tina
all its members have the distinctly,

Other members of the family an,

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-02-06

The reader may remember that not
long ago l outlined a monetary system
quite different from that now in use.
1t is. am well aware, rank financial
heresy, and Will not be adopted in my
lifetime. But | am losing no sleep:
therefore there remains to complete
the scheme the question: how to get
this currency into circulation?
A prominent New York City journal
has for its leading editorial in a re-
cent issue, why Not a Central Bank?"
The prejudice against a national Unit
ed States bank, we are told, is leg
acy from the time of Jackson, and eX-
lists because of utter ignorance of the
functions of currency and the methods
of exchange. Reference is made to
the system employed in Germany,
where the central bank, the Reichs
bank, alone issues circulating notes,
and the natural process of handling
commercial paper automatically ex-
pands or contracts the currency ac-
cording to the requirements of trade.
Such a system is favored by high
authorities. including the president,
and the controller of the currency, be.
lieving it to be the only solution of the
prize puzzle, how to have an elastic
currency.
To prevent such a bank being prosti.
tuted to political purposes, it is pro
posed that the government shall own
one-half of the stock, and the national
banks the other half, and the directors
shall include certain government Off
Gals, and representatives of cham
bers of commerce and similar organic
ations. 1t is easy to see, however
that even in such case, the administra
ton would have a controlling influence
