piled by a private company. When a fire was started in the
Somerville Iron Works it could have been extinguished with small
loss if there had been sufficient pressure of water in the hose, but
the water did not come. The plant was ruined and hundreds of
people were thrown out of employment. In Camden county sew
eral small towns dependent on private water supplies have been
subjected to a water famine and to danger of fire. And a similar
experience has lately been given to a town in Northern New Jer-
sey.. In towns in Hudson county extrayagant contracts for water
have been entered into by the authorities. The water supply of a
municipality should not be under the exclusive control and at the
mercy of a private corporation.

PROMINENT MAN In
ATLANTA KILLED
HARVEY L. ANDERSON is RUN
OVER BY THREE AUTOMOBILES
RENDERED.

Atlanta. November -fspeeial.)-The
first accident to happen during Atlanta's
automobile exhibit and races and which
will serve to cast a gloom over the fes-
tivities of the coming week occurred to-
night about 10 o'clock when Harvey L..
Anderson president and treasurer of the
Anderson Hardware company and one of
Atlanta's most prominent citizens, was
fatally injured in an automobile acci-

residence, short distance away.
IN the meantime, il is said Mr. An

ing unconscious a second machine came

ALSOP CLAIM TO
HAGUE TRIBUNAL

Santiago. Chile. November 6.-An agree
ment was reached today between the
United States and Chile to submit the
Alsop claim to The Hague tribunal for
arbitration.
The Alsop company of New York and
Connecticut has a claim Of s1,5o0,00o. Re-
Gently Thomas c. Dawson, the Amer
lean minister to Chile, delivered to the
Chilean government what amounted to an
ultimatum that the claim must be paid
In full or submitted to The Hague tri-
buna1.
The claim arose over the advance Of
money by the Alsop company to the Bo-
livian government In 1874 In exchange
for right to valuable guano deposits. Bo-
livia contracted to settle the debt by the
payment of customs receipts at the port
of africa.
War between Bolivia, Peru and Chile
was declared before these arrangements
could be carried out and when hostilitfes
ended Chile possessed the section of b.
livia around africa and Bolivia, therefore,
could not fulfill the contract. In 1885
Chile agreed to settle the claim but no
payment has yet been made.

issues as no longer an open question
or one Of paramount Importance. The
conclusion has been rather with unanim-
ity that bank notes should always Ia
made under government control Or at
least subject to strict government re-
strctions and limitations and that this
can be successfully done through one
central and exclusive bank of issue.
In this country we have had trou-
bles and contentious over the charac-
ter and volume of our circulating
medium, extending substantially over
our entire national existence. The
adoption of the gold standard act of
1900 fortunately settled many of the
vexed questions upon which public
opinion has divided. This act marked
new era in our financial policy but
it still left unsettled the question of
the manner Of note issues.
No Evil Can Follow.
Our existing system of bank ennis
sions is equally unsatisfactory to those
who believe that all banks should have
q right to issue notes to circulate
money as freely as they open credits
upon their books, and that no evil re-
suits can follow a legislative right of
this right, and to those who are not
satisfied to have the volume OF note
issues depend upon the dIuo unit Oh gov
eminent bonds available rather than
upon the demands of trade. 1t was the
intention of the trainers of the legis-
lation of 1908 to furnish an emergency
remedy that should continue only until
some permanent policy could be agreed
upon.
The desirablity of a change in our
legislative provisions with reference
to note issues and the necessity for i'm
proved banking methods was brought
to the attention of the country and
Congress in an emphatic manner by the
disastrous results which followed the
financial crisis of 1907. The extent OF
the losses resulting from that disaster
can never be measured. The principal
sufferers were the business men of the
country, great and small, and the mass
of wage earners. the latter through
loss of employment and reduced wages
These people were innocent of any re-
sponsibility for the panic. The dis
tress felt on account of the suffering
by this catastrophe is heightened by
the conviction that it's fatal results
were unnecessary and that with a bet
ter monetary system its widespread
consequences could have been averted-"

the feat, but gave his aid to DR.. Bruce
