.ALDR|CH BANQUETED
KANSAS CITY BANKERS HAVE RHODE ISLAND SENATOR AS
 GUEST OF HONOR.
TALKED OF CURRENCY REFORM
The Speaker Characterised Some or the Banking Laws as Foolish m tha Extreme-A Tribute to Wes'efa Bankers.

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-The speech of Nelson W. Aldrich, United states senator from Rhode Islands at the din- ner given him by the Kansas City Clearing House association at the Hotel Baltimore, was in effect a pea to this great financial center" using the sneakers words, for active CO operation in reforming the currency system of the United States. lie re viewed the work of the monetary com mission and said that he was a seeker of knowledge, anxious for the advice and counsel of the Western banker and business man.
 His speech contained an inferenitai tribute to the independence Of the Western banker. There was an ex- pression of a purpose to devote him- self for the present to the one work of bettering the currency system Tn this country. He characterized some of the banking laws of this country as foolish in the extreme, and urged a onited front to the abolisnment of these laws and tue placing of the cur rency of the country on a sound alru practical basis without any more dis turbance of business conditions than necessary.
 The dinner was served in the ban ouet hall at the Hotel Baltimore with about 200 men present k. r. Neal, president of the Southwest National Bank and of the Clearing House Asso- citation announced that Senator Will liam Warner would introduce the dis tinguished visitor.
 In doing so Senator Worner said that in shaping the economic and financial legislation of the United States there is no man in public life who by ability and industry exerts a wider influence than the distinguished son of Rhode Island.
 Reiterating his declaration that neither he nor the monetary commis- sion, of which he is the head, has any pet scheme of financial reform, Sena- tor Aldrich dwelt at length upon some of the advantages of European bank ing systems over the systems in the United States.
 Mir. Aldrich found in the reserve system the most striking character istic of the European banks, he said He said that the control banks of Eng land. France and Germany, the Bank of England, the Bank of France and the Reichsbank hold all the resources of all the banks of their respective countries He pointed out that there is no legal requirement rendering I necessary for the foreign banks tc keep in their vaults so large per centage as is necessary in the United States and saying that the subordinate banks regard money in the central in stitution just as available for theil reserve purposes as If it were in theiI own vaults.

HUNT BUTTER TRUST
GRAND JURY AT KANSAS CITY SEEKING THE CAUSE OF
 HIGH PRICES.
CREAMERIES UNDER SUSPICION
One Concern Said to Control Price of Butter Fat Throughout Middle West An Illuminating Letter From Washington.

Kansas City, Nov. 12.-That the peo- pie may know why butter retails at 3S cents pound and eggs at 30 cents a dozen. Judge Ralph s. Latshaw of the criminal court will, order an investiga- tion by the grand jury of reported com hinations and trusts in the city, in rs- straint of trade and for the purpose of maintaining high prices. The charge will cover all combinations and trusts. It is said the investigation will include produce commission methods. Ii has been charged that for the past three or four years there has been an or ganization for the purpose of keeping up the prices on these necessities of life.
 That either the muley COW or the Missouri hen has been derelict in her duty is doubted.
 Topeka, Nov. 12.-According to a letter received by the state board of railroad commissioners from the bu- reau of animal industry at Washing ton, D. C., and made public the Beat rice Creamery. company owns a con trolling interest in the larger cream cries of ten states In the Middle West and so controls prices for butter fat that the smaller creameries dare not raise the price above that paid by the larger concerns for fear of being put out of business"
 According to the testimony of Mir. George Haskell, president of the Beat rice Creamery company, the latter states the Beatrice Creamery company owned the controlling stock in nearly all the large creameries in the Middle West
 The letter continues:
 "They also own line of refrigerator cars of which Prof, E. II. Kebster, dean of the Kansas Agricultural col lege, can give you detailed informa- ton. The object of putting on these refrigerator cars, MT. Webster informs us, was for the express purpose of cut ting out refrigerator service from points in Nebraska 10 Denver. MT. Webster was in the employ of the Beatrice Creamery company at that lime.
 We nave also been reliably informed that the smaller creameries dare not raise the price paid for butter fat sboye that paid by the large concerns for fear of being put out of business. Nearly all the creameries in Kansas are paying rather low price for but ter fat"
 The letter is signed by "B. D. White, in charge of dairy manufacturing in vestigation.'

New York. Nov. 10.-C. l.. Warriner, until a week ago treasurer of the Big Four Railroad 3n Cincinnati. one of the Vanderbilt lines, stole $64S,000 from that company before he was even suspected of being theft by his superiors. Announcement 10 this effect was made from the office of Al bert II. Harris, vice.president of the Big Four, whoses headquarters are in the Grand Central Station. This if the formal statement by Mir. Harris; 1.
 "The amount of lefalcatfon of C. I warriner, local treasurer of the Big Four in Cincinnati, has been ascer fained 10 be s643,000. Mariner has turned over to the company property amounting to more than sl0O.000. and there will be received from the Amer ican Surety company. on his bond s50,O00, leaving the net amount of the shortage at something less than $500, 900. He has been arrested and is now held to await the action of the grand jury in Cincinnati.
 The method WarrIneI adopted was to cover. his defalcs.ion in the item cash in transit' At the end of each month there are considerable sums oi money on their way to the local treas. urer from the station agents and oth' prs that have not been received by him. It was by including in this item fhe honeys that he had. in fact. stolen that kHsRrriner was able 10 conceal hii befa GFatson.'

No More White Bread.

Washington, June 2.-lf the au-
thorities find it possible to bring
about a strict enforcement of the
law, which is highly doubtful there
will be no more white bread after to-
day. Under a new statute it will be
unlawful to sell flour that has been
bleached. A provision of the pure
food law prohibits the practice. The
reason for the prohibitive clause is
that flour is deterioriated by the
bleaching process. Both the flavor
and nutritive qualities are impaired.
How the demand for flour that
would make bread of almost chalky
whiteness grew, would be hard to ex-
plain 1t developed as other fads de-
velop, and the stomach bore an ad-
ded burden in order that the fad of
the eye might be gratified.
