OPPOSES CENTRAL BANK
It Smacks of Monarchial System, is Unsuited to the American Form of Gov ernment and Would In crease Financial Evils

Elizabeth. N J.. Oct. 24.-Charles Fowler. congressman from the Fifth New Jersey district, and former chair man of the house committee on bank ing and currency. today addressed letter to Senator Aldrich, chairman of the national monetary commission and alss chairman of the finance commit tee of the senate. challenging him to a joint debate in one or more cities on the subject of a central bank Mir. Fowler writes that he is opposed to the establishment of a central bank under existing conditions, because with it would come most discouraging and disheartening favoritism, and the ultimate destruction of the purely in dustrial and independent form of bank ing.
 The letter follows:
 Just before you started for Europe it was stated in the press that as a result of the meeting of the monetary commission central bank was to be advocated and that upon your return you would proceed with a view to in- structing the people upon their finan- cial needs. and to recommend as 'cure-alr a central bank.
 After your departure there was evi- dently an inspired and we'll organized propaganda in favor of central bank.
 '.Inasmuch as I am convinced that the one thing above all others that the country does not want is a central bank. I challenge you to a joint debate on the following propositions:
 ''Ffrst-A central bank would not ef- feet or accomplish the necessary re- form of finances and currency; it is unsuited to our condition; will accen- tuate many present evils and precipi- tate and develop other evils of a most serious nature.
 -Second-Financial and currency problems must be solved on economic lines of an entirely different character.
 T assert that you cannot successful ly superimpOse a mOnarchial form of banking upon the nearly 25.000 indi- vidual. independent and free banking institutions which have grown and de- veloped in harmony with the principles of a republican form of government.
 'To establish central banks in this country would be undemocratic, un- republican. un-American and inimical to the general welfare of the people. because with a central bank will come the most discouraging and dishearten- ing favoritism and a gradual breaking down and destruction of the purely in dividual. independent form of banking
 T will meet you in joint debate in one or more leading cities. or in hun- dred- or more, if you choose, at such times and upon such conditions or terms as may be agreed upon by us hereafter"

 Thirteen Years.

PRESIDENTS P0sSUM
 MYsTER|OusLY MISSING
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME WAS AT DALLAS, TEX.
The Presidential Party Will Start
 Down the River Today.

Little Rock. Oct. 24.- President Taft left Texas this afternoon. speed ing toward St. Louis, where he will arrive at 7:30 a m. Every moment will be occupied to o'clock in the afternoon. when on the steamer Oleander he will lead the procession of boats bearing governors, senators and representatives on the 1165 mile journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans to attend the convention of the Lakes to- the Gulf Deep Waterway association. When MT. Taft leaves on November I he will be in striking dis tance of home. He IS scheduled to arrive in Washington on the night of November 10 His voice has shown no improvement and is almost com pletely gone.
 The presidents train developed a mystery today. railroad detectives. special police and secret service to the contrary notwithstanding. Some body stole the presidents possum. The larceny happened at Dallas. where it seemed that at least a million policemen, special officers. plain clothes men. deputies and militiamen were on guard.

PHOENIX, MORNING,

very evident to the distant relative and so he quite frequently preserves the secret intact. and instead of con sulting a lawyer or writing to the American consult general at Barce- Iona he quietly sends a draft for the sum demanded to the good priest and awaits results. Of course. he waits in vain. and the poor. dead prisoner and the good priest and the darling daughter in the course of time pass out of his life forever leaving him only an uncomfortable memory of the money he so cheerful ly contributed to the confidence game.
 For nearly twenty years these same knaves have been practicing their swindle. and it is needless. to suggest that they are very carefully organ ized: they have confederates not only in the United States, but in most other countries. The confederates in question select man and find out all they can about him: they get hold of family names. family/ origin. and family characteristics. This informa- ton is transmitted to- the rascals in Spain. and letters are at once Writ ten to the prospective victim The scheme is presented and developed in a very plausible way and many of our fellow-countrymen have bit ten" promptly and cheerfully.
 Under the Spanish laws a felony must be consummated before the po- lice may act. and a mere attempt to obtain money by false pretenses does not appear to warrant arrest. The money must be actually paid over and the prosecuting witness must be present in propria persona to testify; otherwise prosecution would be useless.
 Recently the letters written to the distant relative have varied somewhat from the original; the political pris- oner having become a noted Russian banker who absconded. leaving deficit of some millions of roubles' killed in a quarrel in England another Russian. and finally took refuge in Spain. where he was apprehended and charged with manslaughter
 This change of character. however. is immaterial. and in the future more new characters will probably be in troduced by the gang. The scheme is the same. and the public is warned 10 place no credence in such or simi- lar letters.
 Every effort has been made by the department of state and its rep resentatives in Spain to unmask these scoundrels and bring them to justice, and the Spanish authorities have also been active and several members or the gang have been apprehended and held for trial. but so far no convic- tions have resulted. owing prooabiy to the peculiarity of the Spanish law referred to in the report of the con sul-general at Barcelona.

PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
The Next Justice Will Likely Be a
 Democrat.

Washington, Oct 24.-Officials de- clined to discuss the probable success sor of Justice Peckham. but the names of Frederick Judson of St. Louis, ex- Secretary of War Luke Wright, the present Secretary Dickinson and Hen ry Hoyt, counsel of the state depart ment and solicitor general during the Roosevelt administration, are promi- nently mentioned.
 Although a democrat. Judson ap- plauded President Taft's labor deci- sions in an article used as a republican campaign document. No rules govern the appointment but by precedent the vacancy is likely to go to a democrat. In this event Hoyt would be eliminated. No action will be taken until Presi- dent Taft returns.

4 BOMB D|sCOURAGES
 JAPANESE ENTERPRISE
A Three Days old Emporium at Eu-
 reka, Nev- Put Out of Business.

Eureka, New, Oct 24.-A bomb. ig- nited by a slow fuse, exploded early today in front of a Japanese art store. The glass front was shattered and the interior was wrecked. One of the proprietors was sleeping in the rear. and when awakened by the explosion, became frightened and ran down the street.
 The police, thinking he was the per- petrator. gave chase. and fired sev- eral times, without effect. In the en- suing confusion. the real perpetrators of the crime escaped.
 The store had been in operation but three days. It was the first Orienta store established here since the exclu- sion of the Chinese in 1887.

IF THERE BE \ FIGHT
Still Some Doubt Whether He Can Get Into Condi-
 tion-Johnson Who Has Never Had to Try Re
 garded As Serious Puzzle

New York, Oct. 24.-While the sport ing public awaits the contract. the for malities and the selection of place for the battle, the discussion of the relative merits of James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson goes on unabated. The Jeffries-J Johnson bout gives prom ise of eclipsing any fight in the his tory of the ring. Jeffries' dislike for Johnson is well known. and it will be business with the retired champion from the moment he climbs the ropes. Johnson once knocked out Jack Jef- fries, q brother of Jim, and this, add ed to the fact that Johnson brought Jeffries out of retirement. has not in creased the good will of Jeffries to- ward Johnson.
 That Jeffries' condition is excellent is apparent to all who have met him since his return from Europe. The big fellow trained zealously, but still there is a question of whether he has the hitting power that put out Fitzsim- mons and Corbett. Four years of idle ness must be taken into consideration, but if Jeffries can show anything of the form he displayed in his fast fight with Corbett, his friends maintain that he will again be the champion
 T never went into the ring but once with a hard feeling toward the other fellow" said Jeffries. That was Nun roe. And he went out in two rounds. This Johnson has been making too much noise, and I think a white man should be champion. anyway, so you can figure out what is going to hap pen to him.
 Johnson is in his prime. and has proved a marvellous defensive fighter, and his powers never having been ex- tended. he will be an unknown quan- tity that will have to be solved in sizing up his chances with Jeffries.
 George Little. Johnson's manager, is expected tomorrow night and the ar ticles will soon follow. Coffroth will be here with Little. and it is predict ed that he will succeed. in capturing the battle for San Francisco.

BANK 0F ENGLAND
 HAS OTHER MEASURES
FOR KEEPING BRITISH GOLD AT
 HOME.
The State of English Trade Said To
 Be Responsible for Action.

New York, Oct. 24-The Bank of England has commanded the attention of the financial world to an unusual degree during the last week with a third successive advance of the official discount rate in two weeks. The rate has been doubled in that period. Omi- nous intimations come from the Eng fish money center that additional pro- tective measures will be resorted to to avert further inroads on LOndon's banking resources.
 Coming in period of assurances of ample resources in the money markets. this action furnishes evidence of wide miscalculatiOn of the situation As to the elements of that miscalculation opinions differ. but certan factors of the problem are clear. One of these is the extensive American borrowings in the London market. Critics in Lon don agree that unbridled speculation is primarily responsible for this con- dition.
 One of the principal elements of the miscalculation of the autumn money market lies in the abnormal state of the British foreign trade. Not only have imports enormously increased. but exports have decreased. The ac- ? ton of the stock market is shown in the contest going on against the unfa- vorable influence of the money situa- tion. The brilliant business outlook encourages obstinate holdings of stocks, even while the narrowing money resources have reduced in de- mand

DRY FARMING CONVENTION Important Meeting Beginning
 dBiI|ings Mont. Tomorrow AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
Some of the Things Which Congress Expects to Ac- eomplish-To Secure Fav- orable Legislation and to Study Advance Methods

Billings, Mont. Oct. 24.-What is considered by experts one of the most important agricultural developments in many years will be thoroughly con sidered during the fourth international dry farming congress. which will open in this city Tuesday. All of the west ern states. the national government, the various provinces of Canada. Mex ico. Brazil. Hungary. Turkey and South Africa are represented by dele gates or exhibits at the great interna- tional dry farming exposition held in connection with the congress. The sessions will continue through Wednes- day and Thursday. and agricultural authorities of worldwide renown will deliver addresses and read papers. The congress is confidently expected to give a great impetus to the reclama- tion of the arid and partially arid dis tricts of not only western America, but the entire world. Dry farming experi- ments are now carried on in many na- tions. one of the most notable of the projects being the restoration of the fertility of Palestine.
 The objects of the congress are am nounced to be as follows:
 ITO encourage legislation looking by which which the great area of arid land can be profitably utilized under thorough tiilage by which the natural rainfall can be conserved.
 ITO encourage legislation by which the great area of arid land can be profitably utilized under thorough til- lage by which the natural rainfall can be conserved.
 ITO create closer cooperation be- tween the government and state ex- perts in charge of dry farming ex- perimental work and the actual farm CTS of the arid districts.
 ITO enlarge the plans for carrying on a great educational propaganda by which. eventually. the arid districts of the entire world can be populated by prosperous and contented agri- cuiturists.
 TO encourage legislation looking to increased federal and state appropria- tions for the establishment of more experimental stations, the employment of more field experts and the actual cooperation of all these stations in fixing and maintaining d certain rec ognized standard of methods for ob- taining results from the operation of farms in the arid districts.
 ''To study methods and results of dry farming operations in the various western states and in foreign coun- tries which are represented in the con- gress.
 ITO establish better understanding of the value of agricultural education in the public schools of the west
 'To bring to the attention of active farmers the various theories and working plans whereby each farmer may assist in the general commercial. social and political uplift of the west ern states"
