CLEARING HOUSE z BANK ADVOCATED Charles H. Treat Explains Plan
 of Institution BANK TO ISSUE CURRENCY Such a Bank Would Furnish Market For the Balances of City Banks
 and Give Elasticity to
 Credits.
BANK TO ISSUE CURRENCY

Baltimore, February 14-Speakng be- fore the Baltimore Chapter of the Amer ican Institute of Bank Clerks last night, United States Treasurer Charles H. Treat advocated the establishment of na- tional clearing house bank, to be owned by the banks, not by one bank or by the government. The operations of such a bank, he said, would seem to meet all the great business needs of the country through banking accommodations would give elasticity to credits and an ample supply of currency. and MT. Treat de- elared there would be no scarcities or famines to occur thereafter"
 MT. Treat said this proposed bank should have a capital of S2O000o,0O0 to $500, O0O 600, and should be allowed to issue national bank currency and be a govern ment depository and reserve agent for all banks doing business with 1t. It should have the right to buy and sell foreign exchange, and the privilege of rediscount- ing the bankable paper of its shareholders at a rate of interest not exceeding per cent, of which 20 per cent would be left as margin, as is now done by the Clear ing House Bank association in its loans.
 As a further expansion privilege MT. Treat said the Secretary of the Treasury should be authorized to receive as col lateral securities the paper discounted by the national clearing house banks which would have two indorsers besides the principal This he said would enable any bank with a decent line of assets to supply itself with adequate currency or credit needed in the community where 1t does business.
 This clearing house bank would fur nish market for the balances or urban banks to be invested in commercial paper at convenient seasons during the year, said MT. Treat. "It would also give an opportunity for the city banks to invest their money more in commercial paper and less on the stock exchange. This method would give elasticity to our cred it's as well as an ample supply of cur rency, and there would be no famines in currency thereafter"
 Mir Treat added that he would not give the national clearing house bank the right to establish branch banks because the na- tional banks of small capital have proved a great success, and are well managed and safely conducted. "A reason which he gave for his advocacy of a large central bank was that 1t would tend to make coordination of influence among all the national banks to be guided by the central head principally by advice or example, something which MT. Treat said is now absent and was a defect plainly mani- fested in the recent panic.

WILL PROSECUTE
 THE BEEF TRUST

Chicago, February 14-(Special )-As- sistant Attorney General Ellis and John Marble, special counsel for the inter- state commerce commission, arrived in Chicago today. It is understood they come to give special attention to the beef trust investigation now being made in this city.
 There are a number of big cases here in which l am interested and because of which 1 have come to Chicago" said MT Ellis when the conference in the district attorneys office had been con- cluded.
 Tt is well known that there is what had been termed a beef trust investi- gation going on before~t the grand jury and that the Standard oil case comes up February 23, before Judge Anderson. The taking of testimony will start isl Chi cago next Tuesday in the powder trust case, too, and l am interested in that matter"

MORE TROUBLE FOR
 DANIEL FROHMAN

San Francisco, February 14-(Special.)- This is a message for Broadway from Oakland Margaret Ellington, the beauti- ful, is about to free herself from the shackles of matrimony, as the story goes. which means that she is to divorce Daniel Frohman, her husband the greatest of American theatrical managers and head of the theatrical trust.
 And it is to marry a Californian, one of the wealthy real estate men and capi- talists of San Francisco, Edward J. Bowes. He is not only well known in the political and social life of San Francisco, but is the president of the Narrows Land company of Tacoma, corporation in which several well-known Oakland capi- talists are interested.
 The news of Margaret Illingtons inten- tion to get divorced will be as surprising as the news of her contemplated mar riage. Until just a few days ago she was visiting in Oakland, and was for "a time the guest of the family of John R. | acCma Lana company wIun BoWes
 The departure of Miss Ellington from New York to California was heralded by the press as necessitated by a nervous breakdown. She herself said as much as that; in fact more, for she said it was to secure rest and that her future was to be devoted to her family. the pleasure of home life and her husband.
 Even more was hinted at by the papers as being that there was the pos siblity of a domestic event which is gen eraly supposed to be the scene of do- mestic and conjugal life.

 The youth who was captured last night near the scene of a previous as- sault, and held on strong suspicion of having been concerned in the six at tacks made upon women and girls re- gently in the southeastern and east ern districts of Berlin, proved an alibI today and was given his lib erty. The nature of the crime has created a panic among the women in these districts Apparently it is the work of an insane man.

UNLUCKY NUMBER
 FIGURES IN BILLS

Washington, February 1.-The omin- the regular general appropriation bills in Congress yesterday. There are 13 of these great supply bills regularly enacted at each session, and today the 18th of the month, there are II of these measures yet to be passed by the Sem ate in the IS days remaining of this Congress, on which they can be con sidered and enacted into law. Of these bills, seven have not been acted on by the House of Representatives While 15 legislative days remain not includ- ing the 4th of March, when Congress must adjourn at noon, one of these days must be devoted to eulogies and another to the passage of the bill pro- viding for the re-enlistment of the soldiers of the Twenty-hfth regiment who were charged with having "shot up" Brownsville.
 The friends of the postal savings bank bill have not given up their eff forts to pass it, and considerable time in the Senate will be consumed in dis ctfssing this measure. Two or three treaties also are being pressed for rat ifcation and considerable time must be given over to executive session. The rules of that body make necessary a spirit of harmony and cooperation if the great bills are to be disposed of pra actically at the rate of one day. The naval bill which comes up Monday nearly always requires two days for its passage and there are many items in if as well as in other measures which will require time consuming ex- planation, if not extended debate.

HINDUS SUE FOR
 HEAVY DAMAGES

Vancouver. B. C., February 14.-Babari Singh and ten others, Hindus, are seek ing to recover $2O,oOO from Dr. A. s. Monroe, medical inspector of immigration for the federal government at the port of Vancouver. Inc claim is for alleged wrongful detention in the immigration shed at the Canadian Pacific wharf in March of last year. Behind the legal action lies a story of the arrival of the Hindus in Canada. They came here from Suava, Fiji Islands, but at the time they arrived here there was in force an order in council delegating to the minister of the interior power to deport at his dis cretion aliens who did not come direct to Canada from the land of their birth by continuous passage. The Hindus hay ing come from Suava were detained but subsequently, the order in council was knocked out in the courts. Now the Hindus want substantial monetary balm from Dr. Monroe.

VIzIER
 FORGED TO RESIGN

Constantinople, February 4.-After an exciting sitting of six hours yesterday the chamber of deputies passed a vote of want of confidence in the grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, by 19S to B. The chamber also directed the president to communi- cate to the Sultan a resolution request ing him to appoint prime minister pos sessing the confidence of the house.
 As a consequence of the chambers ac- tion the grand vizier has handed in his seals as an officer of the Sultan.
 The want of confidence vote was the result of Kiamil Pasha's refusal to ap- pear before the chamber today and ex- plain the recent ministerial changes.
 During animated debate Deputy Is- mail Hakki referred to the grand vizier as "a liar" A storm of protests against this epithet arose but the president of the chamber remained passive Commun- ications from the former ministers of war and marine, protesting against their removal by the grand vizier, were greet ed with cheers was also a protest signed by the naval officers against the appointment to the latter office of Husni Pasha, who was in the old regime A strong opposition to Kiamil Pasha was apparent from the outset.
 Following the victory of the Young Turks, which resulted in the establish ment of the government on a constitu- tional basis last August, Kiamil Pasha became grand vizier for the third time. Throughout his career he had struggled for a constitutional regime and thrice had suffered exile for his opinions.

 LEAVES PRISON

New York, February 14.-Although Charles w. Morse. the ex-ice king, is confined in the Tombs under a 15-year sentence to a federal prison for violat- ing the national banking laws, and al- though the United States judges have refused hi@ bail in any amount, yet MT.

VENEZUELA HAS
 COME TO TER MS

Washington, February 14-Willam I. CT to Venezuela, has signed a protocol with that government for the aojudica- tion of the disputed claims between the two countries, thus paving the way for final settlement of issues which for years have been the subject of negotia- tions and the refusal of President Castro to arbitrate, which led to a rupture of diplomatic relations last spring. Because of lack of detail in Lne dispatches from MT. Buchanan the officials of the state department prefer not to make any statement touching the results except to say that the Associated Press dispatches from Caracas accurately indicated what has been accomplished.
 As to the money consideration involved n the claim of the New York and Der mudez Asphalt company the officials are not fully advised, while as to Jaurelt the understanding at the state depart ment Is that he will receive $5OOO
 Officials are greatly elated over Mr. Buchanan's success and express them selves as particularly pleased that the asphalt company's dispute is not to go to arbitration because of certain features involved.
 Presumably MT. Buchanans work in the signing of a protocol will be followed by a general arbitration agreement be- tween the two countries, as the basis for special treaty or compromise stating specifically the issues to be arbitrated, which requires ratification by the Senate before the cases may go to The Hague.
 The special commissioner is anxious to consult with former Minister Russell, who se To ,1. for this reason the latter will not pro- ceed to Caracas until after MT. Buchan- ans arrival in Washington for which place he will start next Tuesday. Presi- dent Gomez is expected to promptly name a minister to Washington.
