HUGbES'S REFORMS
SUGGESTSL LEGISLATION FOR
TRUST cos.
New York; Executive Advocates Ballot
Measure and Adjustment of
Racetrack Gambling.

ALBANY, Jan. 1.-The most striking
passages in Governor Hughes's message
deal with legislation which is urged re-
garding the I~eonduct of financial instltu-
lions and CONCERNING race-track betting.
AS to banking legislation, the Governor
declares that Vt trust companies are to do
a banking BUSINESS they must comply with
the same laws Ehat govern the banks. 1t
is not the mamie of the institution that
should control. he says, but the character
of the business done.
Basing his Recommendation on the report
OF the committee OF investigation he APP
pointed some time ago, Governor Hughes
urges that the powers of the State Su-
perintendent OF Banks be increased, that
amounts to be loaned by any bank or
trust company on the stock of another
financial institution be limited. as well
as the amount that may be loaned on
collateral to any one interest. and that
proper safeguards be imposed against
loans on uumarkstable securities.
The Governor ngges the passage Of a
law that will maks gambling at the race
tracks subject % the same penalties else
where imposed and describes the present
state of the gambling law as f~indefensibie
partiality.' He recommends that telephone
and telegraph companies be placed under
the jurisdiction Of the Public Utilities
Commission and advocates ballot reform
and direct nominations. +
The message opens with a summary OF
the States financial condition. In the
fiscal year ending September 80 last the
States receiRts were $4S,s $50. s73.47, as
against $50. 500, sf6.s2 the previous year. A
net gain of s2,sSs, 693.1S is shown in the

Asks He Be Not Compelled to
Leave 1t in Court.

CAMDEN, Jan. 2.-"Exhibit b."
This is how Benjamin Heritage's bald
head vas marked in the Camden
Chancery Court. His wife was suing
for divorce. and part of her evidence
was to the effect that the husband
while brushing his hair became angry
and hit her with a brush.
When the defense opened the shining
bald head of Heritage with a fringe of
thin hair was offered IN evidence to
prove he had no use for a hair brush.
DO I understand the defense to offer
the bald spot in e~vidence?' inquired
Vice-Chancellor Leaning.

WISCONSIN HUNTERS USE

Western Nimrods Have Unique Way to
Corner Deer and Still Evade
the Law.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, MINI. Jan. q
Hunters in the woods north of here have
evolved a novel plan by which to evade
that portion of the game laws which pro-
hibits hunting with dogs.
A number of the nimrods carry COW bells
with them. They first choose a vacant
spot, where they station one or two crack
shooters and then circle the woods in that
vicinity and scare the deer to the open
space by means OF the cow bells. A large
number of deer are said to have been shot
by this method.

EVIDENCE OF A PLOT.

Denver Colo, Feb. 24.-It developed
tonight that a woman, a member of st.
Elizabeths church. who was present
in the church yesterday when Father
Leo Heinrichs was shot by Giuseppe
Alto, the self-cOnfessed anarchist, to-
day told one of the priests of the
church that a week or so ago she saw
two Italians together in front of the
church and that one of them was
pointing toward Father Leo, who was
standing nearby talking to parish
Toner. She is certain that one of the
men was Alto and that he was the man
who apparently was interested in as
certaining the identity of Father Leo.
On the strength sOf this statement, the
police tonight again took into custody
Mike Brunetti, the room mate and
companion of Alto. who. was arrested
yesterday but later released. He is be-
ing held for investigation. The police
are now working on the theory that a
well-laid plot for the murder of Father
Leo had been worked out by Alto and
some of his associates, possibly anar-

Last evening Mr.. Mills delivered his
second lecture on Emerson, taking for mis-
subject the popular essay, 'Self-Reh-

'Self-Relance is the essence Of great

SHORT OF MONEY
Transfer From London to Toxic of
From $50, 100000 to $75,000,000
Viewed With Apprehension.

Berlin. Feb. 24.-The Tightening Of
financial conditions in japan is regarded
by banks here as likely to result in the
transfer from London to Toxic of a
large portion of Jaapnese balances and
somewhat disturb European money
markets. Japan's balances in London
are estimated as between $50, 000 600 and
SIS, 900, 600. At the japanese embassy
here the news of panicky conditions at
Osaka Kyoto and Kobe is discredited,
but private advices to German firms
trading i'm the far east confirm the news
of the scarcity of money. The strin-
gency in the United States is believed
to be affecting Japan, especially as Jap
anese exports to the United States have
fallen off to a considerable extent. The
prolonged doubts concerning Japan's in
tentions toward the United States on
the emigration question have tended to
make European bankers with Japanese
connections withdraw their loans and
conduct their business with unusual
caution.

WARFARE ON THE CHURCH.

Chicago. Feb. 24-That society eX-
lists Svith warfare on the church as its
aim is the conviction of Right rev.
Edward F. Dunno. chancellor of the
archdiocese of Chicago. Chancellor
Dunno said tonight that he believed
that Alto received his inspiration to
murder at a meeting of the society in
Chicago last December.
Il have reason to think" he said,
that the Denver tragedy was nothing
less than d step in a general scheme to
make good the anti-clerical society in
civilization. 1t is said that Alio at
tended such a meeting. l am told by
competent authority that he was in
Chicago at that time. 1t is reasonable
TO assume that he sought his own lev
ell That level was the meeting which
had been advertised in the Tribune. So
far as l am concerned, and l voice the
sentiment of many Catholics of Chi
cago, the impression is strong that Alto
gained whatever inspiration he had for
the Denver tragedy at that meeting on
Dec. IS
Chancellor Dunno was informed to-
day by several ltelian priests that a
man answering the description of the
assassin had been seen in several Of
the Chicago Roman Catholic churches.
