The day was fairly cool in the early
morning. when II degrees was the rec

until evening. when the parks. which
had been hot throughout the day were
visited by faint but cooling breezes-
Welcome relief came last night n the
form of a light shower. The weather

tomorrow.

Iudze Holt. in the United States Circuit
Court. granted yesterday the motion for
arrest of Judgment applied for in behalf OF
John Morgan and his son, who were con
victed of shipping ordinary Croton water
drawn from a pipe in premises in this city
TO Newark, n. J.. labelled Imperial Spring
Water.
The prosecution, which resulted in the
conviction Of the Morgans. was obtained
under the pure food act, and al the trial
II was disclosed that the water. after being
drawn from the hydrant. was passed
through beds of charcoal and gravel, and
after a small quantity of mineral salts was
added it was charged with caroonic acid
gas and put into bottles. The defendants
claimed that Croton River water is partly
spring and partly rain and surface water
and therefore the water shipped 10 Newark
at the request OF food and drug inspector
belonging to the Department of Agriculture
was not misbranded.
Judge Holt held that the label was de-
fective but based his decision on his be-
lief that the indictment was fatally de-
fective" The Morgans were convicted on

BANKS HERE HOLDING OFF
No Action Toward Emergency
Currency Association.

There was considerable discussion in
banking circles yesterday over the sugges-
ton Of Secretary MacVeagh that the banks
here organize emergency currency asso-
Citations a safeguard in case the neces-
sity should arise for taking out emergency
currency, but no steps were taken to form
any such association and it is not believed
that anything will be done in that direc-
ton at present. On the committee having
charge of the organization OF emergency
currency associations IN this district, which
was formed shortly after the emergency
currency law was enacted. on May 80. 1908

burn.
Horac. Kilborn. one of III. vice-presdent.
Of the National City Bank. said that he
thought the Secretary's suggestion was a
good one, as in his opinion the time to
form such associations was in a period Of
calm like the present, when they will make
the least sensation. In the time of real
need. he said. the sudden formation Of
them would only add TO the alarm.
William Sherer, manager of the New
York Clearing House was one Of those op-
posed to the plan. He said that the most
obvious objection was the high tax and
that banks were not going TO be eager to
issue emergency currency at a high cost
a long as there was money 70 be bor-
rowed in the market He added:
The lack OF any provision in the law TO
make It possible for a bank 70 withdraw
after once joining one OF these sssocia-
tions is a feature which has aroused con-
siderable opposition among the banks. and
probably accounts for the fact that only
one such association has been formed and
that one in Washington.
There is nothing TO my mind 10 prove
that emergency currency would be an IN
mixed blessing The history OF the last

conducted with very small amount Of
