MONEY PANIC AND TARIFF
New York Retailers, Wholesalers
and Packers Give Reasons for
High Price of Beef.

New York. June 17.-Tracing the pres
ent high price of beef directly to the
money panic Of last October and the
operations of the tariff laws. retail
ers yesterday declared that they could
see nothing on which to base predic-
ton of lower prices for the best grades
of meat. Dressed carcasses brought
from half a cent to l cent a pound
more yesterday in New York than they
did on Monday, rejecting an increase
since last week of IL cents in the
Chicago price of live steers, bringing
the cost of beef ION the hoof'' higher

BANKS DECLINE
TOPAY INTEREST
Government Deposits Surren-
dered by Two Heavy New
York Institutions.

Washington, June 1.-THE treasury
department has received from the
Chemical National bank of New York,
which is a temporary government de-
pository. its entire amount of public
deposits, amounting to S1,228,O00, with
the explanation that the bank does not
pay interest to depOsitOrs. and as it
would be required TO pay interest at
the rate of l per cent per annum under
the terms of the new currency act and
regulations of the secretary of the
treasury, the officers of the bank de-
cided not 10 make any exception in ia
VOr of the government.
The American Exchange National
bank of New York, and regular de-
pOsitoTy, also surrendered an excess Of
$3.50, 900 over the amount the govern
ment required the bank to keep on
hand to meet disbursements. The as
sumption that action by these banks in
surrendering their deposits is a strong
indication that-1hey Will not take ad
vantage of the new act authorizing the
formation of national currency assO-
Citations throughout the country is de-
clared to be in all probability errone-
Gus. While the treasury officials have
no definite knowledge of what any in
dividual bank will do in this matter,
the fact that these banks prefer not
to pay interest on deposits can have
no bearing on the question of the wis
dom of their joining a currency asso-
citation.
Letters from bankers in all sections
of the country are being received at
the treasury department asking for the
necessary blank forms and details as
to the formation of currency assOcia-
tons, and the very general interest
thus displayed is regarded as cOnclu-
sive that national banks throughout the
states will take advantage of the au-
thOrity conferred by the act.

FOR
AN ENCOUNTER
New Orleans italian Merchant
Shoots Three Members of
the "BIaCk Hand"

New Orleans, June 17.-Following
series of crimes attributed TO so-called
BLACK Hand" societies in the Italian
quarter of New Orleans, one of the
worst tragedies yet connected with the
section took place early today. when
three Italians were shot TO death.
According to the police these men
were killed as a result of an attempt
to extort money from Pierto Giacona,
a wealthy Italian wine merchant. Gia-
coma and his son told the police that
these men had frequently bought wine
from them by the barrel and had inva-
riably refused TO pay for it. According
10 their story the three forced them TO
ship a barrel of wine to a point in the
state yesterday and returned early to-
day and ordered them to prepare
meal.
The elder Giacona suspected that
trouble would ensue and hid a repeat
ing rifle near the table. When one of
the visiting Italians drew a heavy re-
volvers and ordered them TO produce
money and valuables, the elder GiacOna
answered with a shot from the rifle.
The man he fired at fell dead and the
other two attempted 10 escape. One
was killed before he got ten feet from
the table. The other reached the stair
case only to get a bullet in his brain
as he started down the steps, his body
falling into the court yard below.
Only one of the Italians who was
killed has been identified. he being
named Barraca. known to the police.
Today another Italian, badly wound
ed, was found in a shed near the Gia-
coma home. He was identified as one
of those who had attended the Giacona
feast. Only one escaped with his life,
his wound being dangerous.

Taft Helped Make Platform.

1t is prepOsterous to ask Secretary Taft
to make the race for the presidency on a
platform which is not TO his liking, and
especially in view of the fact that il is
generally known that he has been giving
much attention TO the framing of the
paTty's declaration of principles and poll
cies. To do so would be to place him in
the attitude in which Mr. Cleveland was
placed when he was compelled in 1892 TO
repudiate his party's tariff plank, and it
is doubtful whether he would want to
make the race under such conditions. 1t
should also be borne in mind that the
question of injunction touches the labor
class an element which he has been ac-
cused of antagOniziEg. and it is the very
opposite of fair dealing to undertake to
compel him TO go before the country on
a platform which affords no assurance to
this class of his friendly feeling toward
them" =
