An Important Item.
Mr.. Campbell THINKS the proposition for
a hiGh-pressure fire service is about the
most important District need that can be
brought to the attention OF Congress at
this time. He has long been an a6vo-
cate OF this sort Of a service, and would
gladly back il on the floor and vote
for IL III given the chance. But the trou-
bic Is this question lis not In the hands
of the District committee. The House
appropriations committee would have TO
handle il and provide the money az a
portion OF the annual District appropri-
alton bill. So far Chairman Tawney Of
that committee has shown no DISPOSE
ton to give any sort OF a hearing on the
subject, let alone consider IL with any
degree OF favor. AS IL is estimated that a
modern up-to-date high-pressure service
for the downtown business section OF
Washington would cost not more than
S1J0.U0. Mr.. Campbell suggested TODAY
that one big fire i'm Washington could
do this amount OF damage and more in a
very short time. He thought this
should he taken into consideration, to-
gether with the fact that the higll-pres-
sure service installed in New York a
couple OF years ago Is all kinds OF a
success and probably has already saved
its cost in preventing the destruction
of valuable business property in the me-
tropolis.
Loses None of His Interest.
Although he is a member OF other i'm
portant committees. Mr.. Campbell intends
to take this year the same arked and
energetic interest i'm local affairs that has
characterized his attitude since he has
been a member Of Congress
Incidentally. Mr.. Campbell says the
people out his way are so busy and SD
prosperous that they aren't bothering
much over the tariff or other questions.
and. I'm fact, aren't talking politics to any
extent He considers this. an excellent
sign.

Fernando Has a Career.
Fernando or Ferdinand. the son of Co

of his early life but in 1a02 when the
admiral sailed on his last voyage. Fer

he was appointed a page at court, where
he appears to have received a good edu-
cation and acquired literary taste.
AS member of the retinue of the grea.
Charles V he appears to have been a ia
vorite with that monarch and attended
him to Austria and Flanders. Fernando
travelled extensively in western Europe,
and not only learned much by observa-
ton. but became an ardent collector Of
books in all languages. Oviedo describes
affable manners and nobility of char

Although Columbus in his will gave the
greater portion of his estate to Diego,
his legitimate son, King Ferdinand be-
slowed upon Fernando a considerable
amount Of land in Santo Domingo, and
Charles gave him a generous pension.
so that his income at one time was more
than $4,000 year.
There is no evidence that he ever mar

In 1879. he left all his property, inclUd-
ing a very large library, 10 his nephew.
Luis. the son of Diego Columbus. This
library was one of the most notable col

to have contained twenty thousand VOL

MONEY FOR HANDLING CROPS
DISCUSSION BY SENATOR AL
DRICH AND BANKERS.
Representatives of the Twin Cities
Favor More Elasticity in the
Currency System.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. November 13.-
Senator Nelson w. Aidrich yesterday en-
tered on a form of procedure somewhat
different from that he has pursued else
where during his tour in the interest of
the monetary commission. He was the
principal guest at a MONDAY luncheon
and at a dinner both given by the bank
ers organizations and both at the Mime
apolis Club.
The innovation was made at the lunch
con. There was general exchange Of
views, and the chairman of the commits
sion took occasion to answer a number OF
questions which were intended TO bring
out facts bearing on currency and bank
ing problems.
Money for Handling Crops.
The subject for consideration was the
necessity for the increased sums To handle
the grain crops of the northwest. lie
asked information regarding fluctuations.
and was told that from s3OO0.ODO to $40
OpoUO is sent west annually from Min
neapolis and ST. Paul during the crop
moving period. Ordinarily this money
does not return until The next year.
After the panic of 1907. the bankers
said. there was especial difficulty in get
ting tine money returned. Mr.. Decker.
VINO presided stated that it was with
held until the bankers OF Minneapolis and
ST. Paul made an appeal to their brethren
In Chicago TO stand behind them in in
surfing a return the next year OF the
money to the various localities. This as
Surance received, the cash came pouring
i'll in the usual volume
Another evidence" remarked Mr.. Al
drich, that credit is as good as cash.
The Rhode Island senator found the
sentiment here decidedly in favor of
more elastic currency. There were many
advocates Of a system that would insure
a sufficient volume of money to meet the
demands Of harvesting AMI shipping crops.
Handling Foreign Exchange.
One of the great difficulties the bankers
Of the northwest have, IL was announced.
is in handling foreign exchange. One de-
clared that after the panics of 1885,, and
1901 business had come almost to a stand
still because OF tile difficulty In handling
the foreign paper. This he said was
true notwithstanding wheat had dropped
to a poin; where il could have been milled
and the product utilized 10 bring back to
the United States the money which was
needed so badly.
That" said Mr.. Aldrich. lis just the
point / have in view
Both in the day and the evening meet
ings the visiting senator discussed the
question of international exchanges i'm
connection with the credit systems of
other countries. He declared that of the
S2.1O.tUo.0O worth of goods We send out
of this country every year 50 per cent is
forwarded by foreign banks
The time will come he said, when
the banks of the United States. I trust
will do this business instead OF permitting
Foreign institutions to do So.
