mitted TO be In Circulation

al Currency Pro-
vided For.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 30-The
Aldrich financial bill, which has been
in the hands of the senate finance
committee since it's introduction in
the senate on January Z, was re-
ported today by Senator Aldrich, its
writer. Various amendments, which
have been suggested from time to
time. appear in the bill, although
in general character 1t is the same as
when originally introduced.
The bill has been delayed through
the efforts of the finance committee
to emphasize the emergency cur
rency section and to this end vari-
Gus amendments have been inserted
in the original bill which are intend
ed to cause the speedy issuance of
additional currency, when a neces-
sity arises through a stringency in
financial affairs.

comptroller of the currency power
to fix the time and amount of issues
of currency when application was
made to him, he to use judgment in

been inserted vesting this power In

A clause in the original bill which
| fixed rs per cent of the market value
of municipal and. railroad bonds as
the limit of issue or notes against
them. has been changed to 80 per
cent
Raises the Limit.
An increase in the amount OF
notes permitted to be in circulation
has been made, the amendment rails
ing the limits from $250.000,000 to
$500, 100000. Further the bill spe-
cifically provides that all acts and
orders of the com ptroller of the cur
rency shall have the full approval OF
the secretary of the treasury.

bill are I'm reference to the nature OF
bonds which shall be acceptable. the
amounts which may be assigned to

New York, Jan. 30.-Conceding

today, declared there was no evil
dence presented in the case to show
that Thaw was so insane the night
of the tragedy that ne did not know
the nature of his act, or did he know
he was doing wrong.
The prosecutor followed this state
ment. however. by signifying very
plainly that he believed Justice

He explained carefully to the jur-
ors all the elements that enter into
verdict of murder In the first de-
gree, and followed 1t by pointing out
a way to two other possible findings

| torney was in such marked contrast
to his plea for conviction at the trial
a year ago that his hearers were
surprised at his mild arraignment of
the defendant. His vindlctiveness
was entirely gone. He made no
| passionate defense of Stanford White
as he did at the former trial. The
denunciation of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
was missing ana he made absolutely
no reference to her I'm any part of
his plea.

Instead of this he made a calm
analysis OF the evidence presented

There is no doubt that Stanford
White was responsible for a great
wrong to Evelyn Thaw." he declar-
ed, dramatically, ''and such being
the case there is no doubt but that
| Harry Thaw had every motive for a
lrevengeful murder. This motive

The case will probably be given to

instructions ready by this evening.

THE YARD
JAMES NEAL Run OVER ON
WEST END YARD AT 800 TO-
DAY.

James Neal. the 1S-year-old son
of A. NJ. Neal. of Graham. was run
over by two engines and cabs near
the Hale brick house on the west
end yards about $3.50 o'clock this af-
ternoon. His head was mashed and
severed from his body and one arm
was severed. The corpse was
brought to the undertaking estab-
lishment OF w. S. Crockett and will
be prepared for burial. The young
man was trespassing ON the com
pany's proerty in order to avoid the
mud along the ublic highway, it is
said, and met the fate OF so many
who have done the same thing. In
fact II is doubtful If there is fifty
yard stretch of track between here
and Graham that has not witnessed
one or more tragedies OF this char
acter. The arents have our sym

If Cleofes Romero sat on the ros-

Republican convention yesterday
with a big six-shooter frowning on

necessary by the bitterness of the

at Williamson on or about February
25, is able to be out today for the
first time. 1t will be remembered
that at the time of the shooting it
was reported that this was an at
tempted suicide. 1t has since devel-
oped, however, that the shooting was
an attempted homicide instead of a
suicide, according to the statement
of the young man. So far no inves-
tigation has been made by the au-

Beet Growers Conference.

The court room was filed to its
limit Saturday afternoon by farmers
interested in the growing of sugar
beets. This was the first meeting
under the auspices of the county or
ganization and the interest mani
tested shows that the members are
deeply concerned both in their own
welfare and that Of the Owosso Sug-
ar Co. with which contracts are made
for the most of the beets grown in
the county. The county organiza-
'tion was perfected and an executive
committee named to have charge OF
matters between the meetings. The
committee named to confer with the
officers of the Owosso Sugar Co.
made it's report, stating that the
company was ready to meet a part
of the wishes expressed at the for
mer meeting but that it could not
grant a sc fiat rate. Secretary c. N.
Smith. of Bay City, told the meeting
that the company was willing to To-
cate more weighing and tare stations
if the acreage would warrant it. that
its officers were willing to confer
with the farmers of the county rel
ative to the naming of a man to
have charge of the tare room at the
factory, the main requirement being
that a man should be selected who
would be fair both to the company
and producer Mr.. Smith slated
firmly that Sc fiat rate could not be
given, not even if all the acreage was
secured without cost to the Sugar
Co.
The prevailing opinion is that all
questions of difference will be salts.
factorily adjusted and that most of
those who grew beets in 1907 will do
so again and for the Owosso Co.

A general meeting Of the Woman's s
Club was held yesterday morning at
the Carnegie Library. A choral in con.
nection with the Treble Clef had been
discussed in previous meeting but no
action had been taken. Yesterday it
was voted that this proposed choral be
organized as an adjunct to the Treble
Clef, and steps were taken to begin i'm
mediate work. The club has the good
fortune to have as one Of its members a
musician thoroughly capable Of direct
ing and is glad to be able to announce
that Mrs A. d. Glascock mas gracious.
ly consented to undertake to direct this
choral
The membership to this organization
will not be confined to the Woman's S
Club. The talent of our city through a
committee appointed by the chairman
of the Treble Clef Will solicit members
to it.
