FOR EMERGENCIES
Secretary MacVeagh Rules Banks
May Issue Half Billion
Dollars on Paper

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Secretary
MacVeagh's ruling on the term COM
mercial paper in the Interpretation of
the emergency currency law became
known in it's full import here today.
The way now is clear for the banks
of the United States to put into cir
culation $500,000,000 in emergency
money at the first sign of stringency
The law provides that commercial
paper on which emergency currency
may be issued shall include only notes
representing actual commercial tram
sactions, which shall bear the names
of at least two responsible persons
and have not more than four months
to run.
A large proportion of the banks hold
the notes of reputable individuals and
corporations that have been bought
from note brokers. These notes bear
only the name of the maker. Secretary
MacVeagh has decided the Endorsement
of the holding bank on such notes Will
constitute the second Endorsement
which the law calls for.
Mr. MacVeagh also holds that notes
issued by reputable persons for the
carrying on of bona fide business and
which are discounted at banks repre-
sent actual commercial transactions.
and are distinct from what is known
as accommodation paper The latter
is strictly barred from being used as
the basis of an issue of emergency cur
rency.
In making a liberal Interpretation of
the term Commercial paper" Secre-
tary MacVeagh holds it to be what the
banks themselves consider it, and has
endeavored to construe the law so as
to meet the needs Of the business
world. -.

FINDS DYNAMITE
NEAR ALEXANDRIA
ANNEXAFT TER RIOT
Detective Discovers Explosive on
Sidewalk, Sets Watch
and Makes Arrest
Joke SAYS MAN IN CUSTODY
Prisoner Admits Ownership of the
Deadly Sticks; Says Friend
Placed Them
Joke SAYS MAN IN CUSTODY

Twelve sticks of dynamite were
found in box at the edge of the curb
near the Hotel Alexandria annex at
o'clock last night. The discovery,
following an accident earlier in the
day, which cost a workman his life,
and a riot few minutes later in which
strikers and non-union workers par
ticipated, caused sensation.
Instead of removing the dynamite
the police stationed detectives near 1t,
and they arrested a man giving his
name as A. Kennedy when he picked
UP the box of explosives two hours
later.
Kennedy, who told the police that he
is a farmer living near Glendale,
frankly admitted the ownership of the
dynamite when arrested by Detective
Mckenzie. He said he bought the
powder to use in opening ditch and
that it was taken out of saloon IN
which he left it and hidden where
found as a joke on him. The police
say threats had been made to dynamite
the annex. Kennedy denies any knoWl-
edge of such threats.
The box was discovered by Detective
Mckenzie, who had been detailed on
duty at the building early in the
evening. After ascertaining It's con-
tents he carefully rewrapped it and
returned it to where he had found It,
After almost two hours man hur-
riedly walked up to the gutter,
stopped and picked 1t up. He was
Immediately placed under arrest py
Mckenzie.
!. EXPLAINS HAVING EXPLOSIVE
When asked what was in the box
Kennedy at first refused to say, but
when informed that he was under ar
rest said that it contained dynamite.
He stated he had purchased it August
80 from the Harper Reynolds Hard
ware company for the purpose of
using it in running water tunnel
through his farm. When asked how it
had happened to be in the gutter.
Kennedy replied that he had left 1t
in the Hoffman bar, 215 South Spring
street, that night and that a drunken
friend named Roberts had picked 1t
up and carried it there to play prac-
tical joke on him.
Kennedy was closeted for more than
an hour with Detectives Hosick and
Mckenzie, and was closely questioned,
but he would not change his original
story.
Kennedy stated that he was miner
by trade and at one time was mem
Der of the Miners union, but had taken
no part in the present strike situation
In an effort to connect Kennedy with
the pickets who have been stationed
near the building for the last few
days, the police called Superin-
tendent Jordan of the Baker Iron
works, in charge of the construction
of the building. and asked him to
identify the prisoner. He stated that
he had not seen Kennedy around the
building. Kennedy will be thoroughly
investigated before he is released.

Mrs. Adriance had concealed in her
hat She has not denied that she
bought the necklace abroad, and she
is still under $1,000 bail pending exam
ination on a charge of smuggling it

turned by the federal grand jury this
evening Just after c. c.. Wall, special
treasury agent, had appeared as a
witness. 1t was Wall who made the
Adriance seizure.

WINS FROM TRAIN
Aviator Recrosses Lake and Es-
tabIishes New Record for
Flight Over Water

CLEVELAND, o., Sept 1.-Racing
with a fast Lake Shore mail train,
Glenn H. Curtiss, the aviator, today
drove his biplane over the water from
Cedar Point to Euclid Beach, an air
line distance of sixty miles, complet-
ing a 12O-mile round trip flight be-
gun yesterday and establishing an uh-
questioned worlds record for over
the water flights. He beat the train
into Cleveland by seventeen minutes.
Encountering contrary air currents,
Curtiss was unable to maintain high
speed, taking an hour and forty min
utes for the flight. The total distance
traversed, estimated at the United
States photographic office, was 64.75
miles.
The first ten miles were covered in
thirteen minutes, but after that the
breeze grew gusty,- necessltating many
dips and maneuyers. Off Cleveland
harbor the breeze blew only twelve
miles an hour, but was unsteady and
the 100000 persons lining the lake
front and perched on the tops of every
available building had opportunity to
Judge the difficulty of air navigation
under unfavorable conditions.
Tonight the aviator was entertained
at banquet given by the Cleveland
Aero club.

for the Hotel Alexandria, between
Fifth and Sixth streets. A riot call
was sent to central police headquar-
ters, and Captain Charles Lehnhausen

a slight cut on the face, which were

Fielder was released on 500 cash
appearance bail to appear in police
