TO HELP TWO PER CENTS
MacVeagh Revises List of Bonds Ac-
ceptable for Deposit.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Ostensibly
for the purpose of strengthening the
price of the Panama 2 per cent bonds,
which for some time have been how
Veagh today issued an order eliminat-
ing state, city and railroad bonds
from the list of securities which may
be accepted for the deposits of public
moneys in National bank repositories.
There are now held by the govern
ment S10,021,50 of these classes of
bonds as security for such deposits
and the expectation of the treasury
officials is that they will be prompt
ly replaced by other bonds as it Is
not the intention of the treasury to
reduce the amount of money in ma
tional 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-
posts.
Secretary MacVeaghs action was
taken in accordance with an act of
congress, which requires him on or
before January 1, of each year to
make a public statement of the Sc
curities required during the year for
government 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 security for such deposits:
United States Philippine. Porto Ri
can and District of Columbia bonds
at par; bonds of Hawaiian territory
at 90 per cent of par; bonds of the
Philippine railway company at 90
per cent of market value: but not
exceeding 90 per cent of par. No adj
ditional deposits are however, now in
temptation. All banks holding
deposits of public funds secured by
bonds other than those above nanr<d
as acceptable will be required to with
draw such bonds on or before Febru-
airy 1. 1910 and substitute therefor
bonds described above

CURED a MURDERoUs BOY.
Clyde Turner, Aged IA, Receivers
Equilibrium After Operation

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-Clyde Tur-
ner, the 14-veaT-ol boy who attempted
to kill his grandmother, Mrs. Ruth
Turner, with an AK at her home in In
dependence January %. 1908, has al
most entirely recovered form the opera
ton on his head, made several months
ago. An incision seven inches long on
the right side of the head was made by
surgeons after the boy was arrested
charged wit hthe attempt to kill his
grandmother. 1t was learned that the
boys mother died when he was six
weeks old AS baby he had the
habit of humping his head on the floor
with greater frequency than other
babies. Four years ago he threw an
iron bolt into the air and it came down
on his head, injuring the skull. The
boy had suffered with a headache since
he could remember and he was sent
to the home for feeble minded for two
years.
After the operation several months
ago the boy began to improve. His
headaches left him and his disposition
changed. DR.. H ". Corby, the physi-
clan of the Missouri Training School
for Boys at Boonville, where the boy
now is staying, made a report of the
case to DR.. E. L. Matthias, chief proba-
ton officer at the detention heme here.
Doctor Corby said in the report that
the operation had changed the boy
from weak, reckless, desperate, fee
BILE minded youth to- one of stronger
mind and physical strength and that
the boy is doing well in his classes.
The indications are, he said, that the
boy will completely recover.
