waterway policy. His advocacy of the
river improvements has strengthened
his presidential candidacy in every

''He Is recognized as the most infiu-

improvements have in the senate. and
his advocacy of a national river inn

tent reason why he should be in the

There is no doubt that IL elected

particular trade movements involve a
special demand for currency at certain
intervals.
After discussing at length the policy
the government should adopt in regard
to paying off obligations, the report
hints in a general way at possible
treasury deficit at the close Of the cur
rent year, the collections for the six
months ended December 81, 1907. show
ing a decrease in customs receipts of
IS, S3S, 900 and internal revenue receipts
of 1920, 900, with the probability that
the sale of December during the re-
naming half of the year will still fur
, ther decline.
Anticipating the financial wants OF
the immediate future. Secretary Corr
telyou intimates that If new legislation
does not relieve him of the guardian
ship of the money market that has
tacitly arisen, he must make provision
for relieving it by making deposits in
the autumn when the demand for
money is usually the greatest. For
this purpose alone, under the present
volume of deposits of public moneys
in banks. the maturing per cent
bonds will also require funds.
Hopes for Legislation
On the subject of remedial legisla-
ton, the secretary says that in every
measure OF relief the treasury has
taken he has felt that he was bound
under our existing fiscal and monetary
system. to have regard, not simply to
the operation OF the treasury. but to
their effect on the financial condition
of the country.
He has not assumed this obligation
willingly and would be glad to be re-
lieved of 1t, at least in part, by suitable
legislation, and II recent events should
lead to intelligent legislation tending
to adapt the movement of currency
more nearly automatically to the re-
quirements OF business II would be
source of qualification to the secretary
and would greatly diminish the sense
of responsibility which must weigh
heavily upon any occupant OF the Of
flee under conditions such as those of
the recent crisis.

Dunno this morning overfuled the de-
murrers to the indictments against j.
Dalzell Brown, former general man.
ager, and Walter J. Bartnett, former
vice president OF the California Safe
Deposit and Trust company, which is
now in the hands of receiver.
The institution failed last November,
owing depositors about $9.000,000. The
two bank officials and James Tread
well, a director, were indicted on the
charge of embezzlement in connection
with loans made to themselves from
the funds of the bank. Counsel for
both Brown and BARNETT attacked the
legality of the action of the jury In
returning the indictments, on the
ground that many members of the
inquisitorial body had been depositors
in the bank and that it was illegal for
creditors to sit in Judgment on debtors.
