STRICTS SECURITIES
UNCLE SAM WOULD MAKE CANAL

Head of Treasury Department Takes
Advantage of New Law to In
crease Demand for Par
Certificates
rAsaociated Press1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Ostensibly
for the purpose of strengthening the
price Of the Panama 2 per cent bonds
which for some time have been hover
ing around par, Secretary MacVeagh
today issued an order eliminating
state, city and railroad bonds from the
list of securities which may be accept
ed for the deposits of public moneys
in national bank repositories.
There are now held by the govern
ment $10,021 500 of these classes OF
bonds as security for such deposits,
and the expectation of the treasury
officials is that they will be promptly
replaced by other bonds, as 1t Is not
the intention of the treasury to reduce
the amount of money in national bank
repositories.
The theory is that by this change
the Panama bonds will be more at
tractive to banks as investments and
that they, In turn, will find their way
into the treasury as security for de-
posits.
Required by Law
Secretary MacVeaghs action was
taken Yin accordance with an act or
congress which requires him on or be
fore January of each year to make
a public statement of the securities
required during the year for govern
ment deposits in the national banks
Secretary MacVeagh directs that
when further public deposits are made
with banks the following named bonds.
and no others, will be accepted as Sc
curity for such deposits:
United States, Philippine, Porto
Rican and District Of Columbia bonds
at par; bonds of the Hawaiian terri
tory at 80 per cent of par. bonds Of
the Philippine Railway company at 80
per cent of market value. but not ex-
ceeding 80 per cent of par.
No additional deposits are, however,
now in contemplation.
All banks holding deposits OF public
funds secured by bonds other than
those above named rs acceptable Will
be required to withdraw such bonds
on or before February l, 1910, and sub
stitute therefor bonds described above.

Miners Demand
Exact Justice
National Congress Requests Enforce
ment of One Policy in For
estry Department.

GoLDFIELD. New. oct. 1.-The report
tody Of the forestry convention OF the
National Mining congress was urgent In its
demanding a ~clean-cut administration in
the forestry bureau In relation to the min
ing industry. Forester Clifford Pinchot Is
condemned in a number Of instances.
The reports says, when a plain viola
ton OF the law is persisted in by a govern
ment official or employee, whether he be
ranger. forester or cabine member, n he
places himself and his judgment above the
law, II is certainly time that a halt should
be called by some one"
In criticism of the forestry bureau, the
report says:
1--WE therefore recommend that this con-
gress express its emphatic condemnation
OF the present practice of the forestry SER
vice in regard to the use Of timber by pros
pectors and miners and that It use every
possible effort to compel a compliance with
the law by the forestry service"
In conclusion, the report says:
while your committee is of the opiu-
ion that the forestry service has in many
cases seriously interfered with the mining
industry, causing many hardships to the
miner and injustice to the prospector, II
should only need an intelligent understand
ing Of the mineral industry TO render as
great benefits in the future as have hereto
fore been harmful"

Found No Medicine That Would Relieve

Specialists.

Perhaps no other institute Of it's kind
In the country receives as many letters
from cured patients and happy patients es
do the United Doctors, those master spe-
cialists who have their Omaha Instituts
on the second floor Of the Neville block,
corner 18th and Harvey streets. Seldom
a day passes but what from one to a dozen
patients send or bring the United Doctors
letters OF testimony telling Of the great
benefit received under their careful and
scientific treatment. Every one OF these
testimonial letters published by the United
Doctors are genuine. II 1t were not SO II
would be a very easy matter TO find this
out, but all reasonable people know that
home testimony, signed and certified TO,
with the full address of the patient, is TO
be relied upon. 1t is also convicing. and
this Is what caused some OF the smaller fry
to become Jealous and begin to whispeg
"humbug."
A certain gentleman who was recently
cured by the United Doctors, and who vol
unfairly gave his testimony to that effect,
was accosted on the streets a few days
later and was asked: How much did you
receive for your letter to the doctors?'
This gentleman became very indignant, and
Justly so. He nor any one else ever re-
ceived a penny for giving the United Doc
tors a Nletter.
What these grateful people do receive,
however. is something Of far greater value
than m~oney-their health Is restored.
They sometimes get their health restored
by the United Doctors after nearly all the
other doctors have had a try at them and
failed. Such a one was Mr.. Arthur Birkett,
who lives at Findlay, H., who writes:

President Taft spoke at a dinner last
night in the Washington state building at
the Worlds fair, attended by 500 guests.
Referring to Secretary Ballinger, the presi-
dent said:
II am grateful to him for coming into

ence Of his friends and neighbors to the
sincere and high esteem in which 1 hold

Mr.. Taft took up the criticism a that
the administration was not carrying out
the Roosevelt policies, and said:
II am bound to admit that Mr.. Roose-
velt's knowledge of the west is greater
than 1 have, for he had lived in the west
and loved it better than he did his w
home in the east; but l was in the Roose-
welt cabinet four years, and became i'm

mo one can have a higher opinion or

1 have. There is a disagreement as to just
what the Roosevelt policies are. We have

they were more Catholic than the pope.
Occasionally we find gentlemen 80 earnest

No Change in Policy.
1T developed the fact" said he, that
the people in the region where the most
complaints came from are strongly In
favor Of conditions in the forests. Public
sentiment is rapidly becoming unanimous
in favor of the forest service work. Our
receipts from the sale OF lumber and from
grazing are increasing; there have been
fewer fires this year than ever and we
now have them under better control"
Have you anything to say on the ques-

asked.
Yes, I have" he replied, with great
emphasis. Il wish to announce that 1

Enacted.

Carson. New, March Ex-Governor
Dickerson has signed the Tallman
banking act, the mining inspector bill,
the anti-gambling bill and the juven-
lie court bill. ;,
The banking act. though not includ-
ing the guarantee feature, clause al
most the same in effect is the vital
feature thereof. A strong fight was
made to include the guarantee clause,
ard the present bill is the compromise

law include the following:
every officer and director of any
banking corporation who shall violate
any provision of this act shall be civ
lily liable for damages to any person
injured thereby and shall likewise be
liable to the guarantee deposits of
such corporation for the amount of
money paid out to the depositors
therein"
The anti-gambling act provides that
on and after October, 1910, no license
shall be issued for any gambling
game, and makes it misdemeanor
; to play any game for money.
