The BUSY MONEY
CHANGERS OF new YORK

Four big banks in the Wall
street district of New York city
resemble the great gold mines of
the west in one striking feature.
They have three eight-hour shifts
of toilers, and the work never
stops. One set takes up the routine
where the other laaves off. All
night long, Sundays and holi avs, a
staff of men in each of these banks
is busy opening thousands of
letters, sorting and listing in
Vulnerable checks and drafts that
represent fabulous sums of money
and getting them ready for the day
force, which is the only one the
public comes in contact with or
even hears about. If this work
were not carried on necessarily;
the banks would soon be over
whelmed with mountainous
accumulation of detail. Two shifts
the scouting force" as they
call themselves-work between five
o'clock in the afternoon and nine
the next morning. Each bank has
a big drawer in the general post
Office. Messengers clear this of
its letters every hour all night
long Three thousand letters a
day is the average mail of one of
these large hanks. Two thirds of
it comes in during the night.
These letters, in the case of one of
the biggest of these banks, contain
from $4,000 to 10000 checks and
drafts. At times these Enclosures
represent as much as 100000, 900.
Rarely does the total fall below
500, 900, GOO.
The letters are opened as fast
as they are received, and the total
verified with the footings of the
list. The letters are then stamped,
which SHOWS that they have been
"proven in," as the banks call, it.
After that they are turned over to
the clerks who send out the formal
acknowledgements of The REMIT
ances they contain. The various
checks are assorted according to
the number Of the books in which
they are to be entered and other
wise; the sight drafts are grouped
accor ding to the routes IF the
banks messengers, and all is made
ready for turning the nights
accumulation over to the day
force, so it may be handled by it
rs expeditiously as possible

To the Citizens of the State of
Ne,ada:-
Apparently some uncertainty
and doubt exist in the minds of
many voters as to the purpose and
effect of that part of the Direct
Primary Law relative to the
election of United States Senators.
Being q candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket for that honorable
and important office and seeking
the suffrage and support of all our
citizens. I feel that it is my duty
to publicly and unequivocally de-.
clare my construction and stand
on that part of the law.
The Constitution of the United
States prescribes that United
States Senators shall be elected by
the State Legislatures, anu the
members of legislatures cannot be
deprived of this privilege without
amending the Constitution. Such
an amendment will undoubtedly be
adopted in the near future, as two
thirds of the States of the Union
have endorsed the amendment and
requested that it be submitted to
the people. Our State Legislature
has unanimously declared in favor
Of such amendment and all parties
in our States have heretofore in
their platforms demanded that
United States Senators be elected
by the direct vote of the people
and have pledged the members of
their respective parties to the
support of such principle.
While the legislature cannot be
deprived, without such amend
ment, of the power Of electing
United State Senator's, a method
has been provided in the Direct
Primary Law by which the people
may instruct the members of
Legislature as to their choice. 1t
is also provided by such law that
the legislative candidates may file
with their nomination papers a
statement as to whether or not
they will respect the will Of the
people and vote for the peoples
choice for United States Senator.
Similar provisions have been tried
with success in other States. In
Oregon two years ago, Senator
Chamberlain, a democrat, was
elected, although majority of the
legislature was Republican. The
plan is being tried in this State at
this election for the first time. A
number of the legislative candi-
dates of each of the parties have
failed to pledge themselves to
abide by the will Of the people
and vote for the candidate for
United States Senator, irrespective
Of party, receiving greatest num-
Der Of popular votes at the ensuing
general election. ] believe that in
most cases this omission occurred
through Misunderstanding rather
than through desire to defeat the
will Of the people, and my actions
will be governed accordingly. But
even il every member Of the legis
lature should refuse to, pledge
himself to the people and should
attempt to deprive the people of
the rights they demand and are
entitled to, / would not be q party
to such undemocratic conduct.
And for the purpose of setting at
rest any doubts that may exist as
to my conduct in any event, /
pledge myself, on nv word of

CONBOY ASKS BAIL.
COURT OPPOSES IT
Judge Dunne Says Evidence
Justified Verdict of Murder
in Firs. Degree

Michael Joseph Conboy, the former
police captain who shot and killed
Bernard Lagan, came in from the
county Jail yesterday in the hope that
he would regain his liberty on bail,
but Judge Dunno took his petition
under submission and he was returned
to Ingleside in custody. Unless Dis
trict Attorney Fickert joins with the
attorneys for Conboy in the appIica-
tion for bail it will be denied by the
court.
Another development in the case
yesterday was the contradiction by
Juror F. L. Cook of the published
statement that he had been improperly
approached by q member of the Lagan
family. Cook. subpenaed to appear in
Judge DUNES court yesterday morn

jury was being impaneled, saying

and that he had met Cook while col

''ABridgeWOn't 'tDO''

The ordinary Bridge Work which
dentists set in between teeth is poor
substitute for missing teeth. 1t makes
the two pier teeth do the work of
supporting ALL those that arc fas-
tened to the bridge. which is wrong.
If the wearer of the bridge bites on
the bridge teeth he puts a terrible
strain on the two piers. causing them
to become loose in time. and the gums
to become sore and inhamed. and i'm
the end OUT COMES THE BRIDGE.
1t is a painful piece of work from be-
ginning TO end. and quite expensive.
Then, again. it is unsanitary. Being
higher in the middle than at either end.
it permits of food becoming lodged un-
der it. which soon causes fermentation
to set in, bringing more inflamma tiOn.

shift as the partial plate
