New York, Feb. 6.-EdwaIl b. Vree-
land, chairman of the congressional
committee on banking and currency,
and Leslie NJ Shaw, formerly secretary
of the treasury, had heated debate
last night on the subject of a central
United States bank. Mr.. Shaw, speak
ing at the Republican club, opposed a
central bank, saying that it would be
impossible to keep its control out of
the hands of the men who control the
Standard Oil company and the United
States Steel corporation. OF the two
he preferred Morgan control.

Shaw, care in control of financial con

Donald lying on the floor with bullet
hole in the head.
Sheriff Delury and members of the
posse believe that Mcdonald had in
tended to kill several other men. They
say he attempted to lure his victims to
the house, planning to kill them as fast
as they arrived. Soon after his wife
was taken from the house by her
brother, Mcdonald began to call up
acquaintance on his telephone. First
he got Mayor J. Sehribner and asked
him to come to the house at once.
~ want to talk to you," he said. "I
will throw up my hands and walk out
to the sheriff if they won t shoot me. -
The mayor refused to go.
Then Mcdonald called Herbert Chase,
proprietor of the Chase hotel, one of
the two men he had sworn to kill.
Mcdonald called up several other citi-
zens, but all refused to go to the house.
