MYEAGH PREPARES
AMENDMENTS
PROPOSED CHANGES WILL BE
SueMITTED TO NATIONAL
SANK REGULATIONS.

Washington. Dec. es.-Preii.rinary
action looking to the consideration of
Secretary Macyeagh's recommended
tions for a graduated tax on national
bank circulation secured by deposits
Of United States bonds. has been taken
by the banking and currency commit
tee AT the request of Chairman Nree-
land. Secretary MacNeagh has prepared
amendments necessary in event that
the committee decides to act favorably.
These amendments contemplate maxi
ing the per cent bonds authorized by
the Payne tariff law for expenses of
canal construction payable in gold coin
and giving authorization for the appro-
priation incident to the issue of any
ponds. II was the consideration OF
these amendments and a general dis
cussion of the question of the issue of
Panama bonds that occupied the con-
ference at the White House yesterday
between President Taft Secretary Mae
Veash and Senator Aldrich. Nothing
final was determined. There was de-
sire to talk over the financial sitna-
ton. not. however. as affected by the
y.
To determine just where the treasury
stood Mt this time.
With the closing OF the year. the
working balance has been decreasing.
although today's statement shows a
material Improvement over yesterdays
receipts of all kinds, amounting to So
$4,000. swelling IL to s24,365.3i9. Sec
rotary Macveagh does not view with
serious concern the recent losses in the
balance and is not disposed to issue
interest bearing obligations unless the
balance reaches low point.
Secretary Macveagh can issue the
Panama canal bonds. should he feel
disposed TO do SO. and also he can put
out per cent interest bearing certifi-
Gates to meet pressing obligations of
the government.
II is not considered probable that
he will take the former cotfrse before
congress acts on his recommendation
for a graduated tax on bank circula-
ton. He is opposed To doing so, for.
as he pointed out i'm his annual report.
the bonds, II issued at 3 per cent. would
have a much better circulation privilege
than the outstanding per cent.
An issue of certificates liz unlikely
unless the necessity therefor IL imper-
alive. The Payne law prescribed that
Panama canal bonds thereafter to be
issued under Its provisions should bear
interest not exceeding per cent. This
leaves some leeway in determining the
character of new issues. the secretary
OF the treasury having power TO sell
liz per cents. a proposition which IL
was thought might be considered with
some favor IL they were marketable ut
a fair figure

A STORM IS RAISED
BY ScALEY
ADMIRAL's SUGGESTION RELA-
rive TO PEARY's DATA GRE
ATEs A FuRoRE.

Washington. Dec 2s.-Rear Admiral
/ Schley's demand that Commander
Peary submit his polar data to the
consistory of the University of Copen-
hagen for notification following that
body's reputation Of DR.. Cook. has
raised storm among the membership
Of the National Geographic society.
which gave Peary a clean bill Of
health. Leading members claim that
the scientists of the United States
would be demeaning themselves il
they acknowledged that their findings
needed notification. There seems TO
be no disposition to withhold from
the Copenhagen board the data filed
by Peary. but there is a well defined
opposition against turning IL over to
the Danish scientists for official yeri-
fication. The argument advanced by
Schley that such examination would
relieve all element of doubt from the
claim of Peary. Is accepted as rather
gratuitous. The records of Peary have
been found unimpeachable by Ameri-
can scientists and, therefore. the aues-
ton is not whether Peary is right.
but whether the scientists are wrong.
Nothing can be gained by submit

why he should. The committee that

sion. Notwithstanding that almost ev-

Rear Admiral Chester. who attacked
Cooks data some time ago. denounced
the proposition of Admiral Schley as
absurd He declared he did not be-
lieve that the University of Copen-
hagen would consider making re-
quest for the proofs. and that the
whole matter was mares nest He
also drew attention to the fact that
the Royal Geographical society of Eng
land and the Geographical society of
Berlin. had acknowledged Peary as
the diseoverer of the pole and that
the latter society had planned to
honor Peary in Berlin next year.

Danville, Ill, Dec. 23.-ln the naming
of w. ]. Calhoun. the Danviiie lawyer.
as minister to China, Danville lays
claim to another * political victory
Following the recall of Crane a gen.
eral scramble for this important post
ensuei Years ago Calhoun had OPP
posed Shelby Cullom when Mckinley
lined up Illinois for the presidency.
Today the question is being asked
whether Uncle Joe" Cannon Is not
the real power that landed this plum
for the chicagoan.
Ii is more than probable that the
new minister in very short time Will
be raised to the rank of an ambassa-
dor. Calhoun's life story is that OF
the country boy who has. risen to po-
litical preferment after years of work,
self-sacrifice and answering loyalty
to friends. Born in Pittsburg in 1sis.
Mr.. Calhoun now Is in the full vigor
of his powers. As a lad he struggled
with poverty, educated himself at
Portland. O., studied law and later
began successful practice here.
While i'm school in ohio MIR, Calhoun
became an intimate friend Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Their friendship con-
the trouble with Cuba arose Mckinley
sent him to the island 10 study the
problem. His report was comprehen-
slse and shaped the policy of the Me
Kinley administration. He has been
"A power in national politics for years.
He became a member of the interstate
commerce commission. but resigned
and moved to Chicago. where he took
up the practice of law. In 1905 he
again entered the service of his coun-
try. becoming the amissary of the gov
eminent To Venezuela at the time of
the International crisis and 1t APP
poared that war Was inevitable. Upon
his volumnous report Of the situation
the governmental policy of the present
day was based. In 1901 Mr.. Calhoun
married a second time, His wife Is
the former Miss Harriet Monroe, a
literateur and student. who composed
the ode for the opening of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi
cago. Mr.. Calhoun combines technical
knowledge with eloquence and is CON
sidered qualified tn deal with the per-
picking problems of the far east.

bly, today,
Cochran smoke in the afternoon on
the report of The Board of Education
which deplorcd the lack of recruits
for the ministry.
"Why cant We get young men to
preach" ?" asked DR. Cochran. II will
tell YOU. In the first place. there is
but little Christianity IN the home. If
there is any. it is gone by the time
the young man is ready for aneduca-
tion.
Does he go for his education to a
Christian school? A PRESBYTERIAN
SCHOOL,. No. He goes to a goddess
state university, and wnen he returrs
TO his town he puts religion at a low
ebb. And if the minister finds your
churches at low ebb, he knows
where to place the blame.
"The need in this Board of Educa-
lion is net for more money but for
men. Now, We cannot Christianize
these state universities, DuL we can
put shepherds in charge. and I'm this
way keen these bows i'm the flock. al
