Congress Must Decide.

The question, therefore, before con-
gress is how not to discredit the ana
9 per cent bonds now up for circula ton
and at the same time make the proposed
issue of per cents attractive to invest
ors. A number Of suggestions of pos
sible solution Of the problem are known
to be under consideration. One Of them
is to reduce the circulation tax on per
cent TO something below the one-haIf
per cent now collected under the exist
ing law. Another proposition is TO de-
crea Sc the rate on Is with or without in
creasing the rate on the IS. and still an
other is to increase the tax on SIS, al
lowing the rate on Is to remain as at
present
1t Is argued that the government could
well afford to reduce the tax on ciTcu-
latiOn in view of the fact that the rec
Ords of the treasury department show
that the banks have paid into the treas
ury in taxes, since the beginning of the
national banking system, about $3.50, 00O 70
600 in excess Of the cost Of the operation
of the currency bureau. Another prOpO-
sitiOn advanced is TO withhold from
bonds Of the proposed issue all circula-
ton privileges, and still another is the
suggestion that the levying Of a tax
on bOnd-secUred circulation be wholly
repealed. 1t is not believed, however,
that these two last suggestions viii be
taken into serious consideration.

Jurors Hard to Get,

None of the attorneys would venture
an opinion or guess as to the length Of
time to be consumed in completing the
second jury, but the task is generally
acknowledged to be one of the most
difficult and tedious that ever confront
ed a court. 1t was evident from today $
examination that most of the talesmen
summoned were anxious to escape ser
vice in the case on any pretext, and a
few questions sufficed to disqualify in
several instances. -
Assistant District Attorney Francis J.
Heney is expected TO assume charge of
the case when he returns from his trip
to Alaska, and John. O'Gara, his col
league in the first trial, will retain his
former position.

HARD QUESTION
FOR CONGRESS
Issuance of 3 Per Cent Bonds
viii DepreCiate Those
Now Outstanding.
SOME PLANS SUGGESTED
ONE is TO REDUCE CIRCULATION
TAX ON 2.PER CENTS.

Washington, July 19.-HOw to protect
from serious depreciation outstanding
United States bonds is the intricate
problem which confronts congress in
connection with the authorization Of a
new issue, and it is thought its solution
can only be effected through some
equitable adjustment of the tax on cir
culation. According to present plans,
the secretary Of the treasury will be
authorized to issue from time to time
additional Panama canal bonds up to
90,569,O20, bearing not to exceed 3 per
cent interest
The governments interest-beariug
debt at this time aggregates approx
imately 1913. 000 600. of which nearly
Si3l 10000 is in 2 per cent bonds. OF this
total the national banks of the country
have on deposit in the treasury securi-
ties for circulation Of about $40 0OO, OO0
FOur-fifths of the entire national debt
therefore, is in these two classes Of
per cent bonds.
Public Credit May Be impaired.
Under existing laws. national bank
notes, when secured by per cent bonds
are subject to a tax of one-half of ]
per cent per annum, while circulation
/ based on bonds bearing a higher in
terest pays tax Of 1 per cent. 1t has
| been estimated that at the present mar
ket price of both 2 per cent ConsOls and
| Panamas there has already been on the
whole amount outstanding a deprecia-
/ ton from the price at which the gov
eminent holds them of about $4,000 600
/ and it is believed in some quarters thai
/ to issue any considerable portion of the
/ IS, which it is proposed to authorize
with circulation privileges not material
/ " inferior with those accorded the IS
/ probably would result I'm the further
/ depreciation of the latter, which might
! reach a point even below par. thus i'm
/ pairing the public credit. There are
/ $64 900 900 in 8 per cent bonds and ap-
/ proximateiy Sl1S,000 900 in IS, now out
! standing. The latter. however. are
mostly held for investment and are LITTLE
/ used as a basis for circulation, anC
/ therefore need not be the subject of any
/ special concern in this connection.
The IS, however, to the amount o
/ $l3,S37 $50, are on deposit in the treas
ury to secure national bank circulation
and any increase or decrease in the cir
/ culation privileges accorded any elias
of bonds would have an important bear
/ ing on their market value.

Comment on Adams Story.

Commenting tonight on the apparent
discrepancy i'm Lieutenant Adams test-
mony, Lawyer Davis, who cross-examined
him. said:
I'm the former inquiry Adams said the
difficulty between him and Sutton start
cd through SuttOn's abusive Interruptions
every time Adams answered question
Of Jtley Sutton every time telling Adams
to go to hell or calling him some vile
name so that Adams could not stand it
any longer
To-day Adams said the difficulty start
ed after Utley had suggested not going
any further with the automobile, because
il was after hours, TO which FISHERMAN
and Adams assented, whereupn Sutton
called Adams Il - coId-fOtted coward,
and this started the difficulty. 1t is COM
mented upon also as remarkable that
Adams should now for the first time men
ton so specific a cause for the trouble
whereas, on the former inquiry, which
was held within but a few hours of SUIT
toms death. Adams statement as to his
remarks was somewhat indefinite.
Testimony at First Inquiry.
ION the former inquiry Adams said that
after going after the officer of the day
and not finding him, ne and Osterman
started toward camp, when Utley stopped
them and ordered Osterman TO camp and
Adams TO follow him (Utley) which Adams
did and when Utley started toward where
the original fight between Sutton and
Osterman had taken place, he CAdamsl
started down the path and Sutton stepped
out from the path TO the parade with a
revolver in each hand. which he pointed
at Adams at a distance of about fifteen
feet. commanding Adams twice to halt,
and then firing.
What Adams Now Says.
To-day Adams saysst that after failing
TO find the officer of the day, he and
/ Osterman started over to camp and were
stopped by Utley, who ordered him
] fAdams) to go down to the scene Of the
| fight and see if he could find any clothes
I will go to camp Whereupon ne
| (Adams) alone went to the scene, when he
/ saw something white outside of the path,
which proved TO be Sutton, who accosted
Adams with an abusive eptthet ana then
began firing at a distance OF from eign-
| teen to thirty feet. Apart from the dis
crepancy in the two accounts, his being
/ sent BY Utley to look for clothes was
mentioned today for the first time, and
l no exclamation could be given for Utley S
/ speaking of any clothes which might pur-
poselv have been left by anyone
I In the third place, on the former IN
ouirv Adams said that he first saw Roelk-
er down below I-tley at the time SUIT
I ton was first seen with the revolvers
/ Rocker running past him (Adams) IRON
] the direction of camp toward the creek
and this was before the challenge OF SUIT
[ ton to halt ,,,-
after Sutton had fired the three shots
