Treasury Department Says Money Will Be

1t would be in our favor" If the re-
verse were true, if crops had been

States more than it bought, the Unit.
ed States would have to pay the differ
ence in gold, as it did last August, to
the extent of 100000 and The "bal-
ance of trade" would be against us.
The question may be asked, why the
treasury department could not help
the banks now as it did in 1908. Be-
cause it has not the money. The ex-
pense of digging the Panama canal
is great drain on the nations ready
cash.
1t was the intention to build the
canal with borrowed money obtained
from sales of Panama canal bonds.
But for money reasons bonds could
not be sold on favorable terms and
Uncle Sam has been paying his canal
workers out of his cash drawer until
now the canal owes the treasury $685.
100000
One of the best reasons why treas
ury officials believe there will be no
money stringency is that the national
banks are preparing themselves to is
sue $500,O00,000 extra currency, as the
emergency currency law provides, if
they have to.
Through the efforts of Secretary
MacVeagh, banks in most of the large
cities have prepared themselves and
others are getting ready Mr.. Mac
Veagh believes the common knowl-
edge that an immense sum is available
would stop any general movement to
take money out of banks and hoard it
in stockings.

Washington, Sept. 26.-There will
be no shortage of money this fall any
where in the United States, according
to the view of the treasury depart
ment. In its opinion the danger mark
| if there actually has been one during
several months past, has been left
astern. The department officials give
these reasons for their prediction of
plentiful money:
Primarily the banks saw what look
ed like a money shortage coming sew
eral months ago. They knew they
could expect no help from the United
States treasury such as they got in
1908 and prepared themselves. They
have piled up gold, built up reserves
and cut down risky loans, and bonds
of other securities, which might not
be easy to sell, have been turned into
money.
By doing all that the banks have
fortified themselves against an emer-
gency. How well they did it was seen
last week when $1O,O0O,0OO was moved
out of New York to other banks, and
done very easily. Panics foreseen
never come, financiers say.
Money is plentiful in England and
on the continent of Europe. That is
always said to be good sign in maxi
ing prediction for this country.
Nearly every crop in this country
this year is reported to be a bumper
Corn will set a new record. Four
fifths of the crop has been gathered,
so the chances of loss from frost is
small. The oat crop is the greatest
in years.
The cotton crop will be 100000
bales greater than it was last year.
Nearly all other crops are reported
very large.
Next month it is estimated inves-
tors all over the country will receive
nearly $170,000,000 in dividends. That
will add, of course, to the money gen.
orally in circulation.
The record crops are one argument
against money shortage, because
they mean that the United States will
have great amount of food and man
ufacturing materials to sell to Eu-
rope.
Europe in the meantime will be sell
ing material to America, but undoubt-
edly not to the extent that it did last
year and therefore will owe America
money. Thus several more millions
of dollars will come into circulation
for business.
This is what ffnanciers call "the bal
ance of trade" and in such an instance

JOHN SHARP KILLED
BY UNKNOWN ASSASSIN

Sheriff Ridenhour received a mes
sage this morning that John Sharpe
was killed on Markhams prairie yes
terday or last night. 1t is supposed
that the killing was the result of an
old feud that has existed among some
of the families in that section and
which had previously resulted in the
killing of one man by Sharpe. Who
it was that killed Sharpe or how it was
done is not known here. Sharpe was
quite prominent in the days of the old
Cherokee politics and is well known
to many of the older residents of this
city.

ACCIDENTAL AND
SUICIDAL DEATHS
Statistics For the Registration Area
For 1909, Compiled BY Census
Bureau.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 26.-Exter-
nal causes, other than suicide, were
responsible for 47,135 of the deaths
reported for the census registration
area for 1909, it is stated in the cen.
sus bureaus annual bulletin on NOR.
tally statistics for 1909, now in press.
The death rate declined from 97.9 to
1861 per 100000 estimated popula-
tion.
The total number of deaths from
homicide, as reported for 1909, was
1854, a decrease of 149 from the mum.
ber compiled for 1908. Not all deaths
from homicide are specified, 50 that
the total number that actually occur
red would be in excess of that COM
piled. The increase in the death rate,
SO, from this cause for 1908 over the
annual average rate, 20, for the five
year period 19O1-19O5 is probably due
largely to greater precision in the re-
turns in this respect.
Among the causes of accidental
deaths in the order of numerical i'm
portance for the year 1909, were the
following: Railroad accidents and in
juries, 6,659; drowning, 4,55S; burns
and scalds, 1892; injuries at birth,
hereafter to be classified under dis
eases of early infancy, 3,50S; injuries
by horses and vehicles, 2,152, not in
Guiding injuries by street cars, 1928,
land automobile accidents and injuries,
632; injuries in mines and quarfies,
1897; inhalation Of poisonous gases,
including confagration, 1887; other
accidental poisoning, 1,779; accidental
gunshot wounds, 944; heat and sun
stroke, SIG; cold and freezing, 25i;
$50.
There were LIZA fatal injuries by
machinery, chiefly in factories, but the
large number, 10,10S, of accidental
|traumatisms of unspecified nature
makes it necessary to consider many
of the figures given above as only
minimal, and it is important thai the
means of injury be specified in all re.
turns of death from accidental vio-
Hence.
The slight numerical increase in the
deaths, S,402, from suicide registered
for 1909 over the number, 1882, FOR
1908 is less than the relative increase
of the estimated population of the
registration area, is that the death
rate decreased from 1876 to IT, per
100000 population. The most com
mon means of suicide for the year
was poison, 2,464 followed by firearms
1886; hanging, 1915; asphyxia, chiefly
by Illuminating gas, $780, cutting in
struments, 536; drowning, 507; jump
ing from high places, 156; crushing,
"a; and other or unspecified means, So.
Undoubtedly many deaths from suicide
fail to be reported so that they can
be compiled under this head, but the
increasing precision of statement of
the nature of the death in cases of
deaths from violent causes renders the
statistics more accurate from year to
year and thus accounts for some of
the apparent increase in the death rate
from suicide.

officially announced by the Agricultu-
raj Bureau at Washington this will be
given out at IL o'clock on Friday. Sep
TENDER .. The last government report
was announced on August 2, and was
compiled up to the date of July 2S.
1t made the average condition of the
crop then as 1876 per cent. against
s0.7 to June IS, as contrasted with
71.9 per cent to July 25 last year, and
SO in 1908 and 7g.4. the average to July
20 for the past ten years. With the
exception of the condition of rs on
July 25 in 1907 and the unprecedentiy
low condition OF 71,9 in last years
crop failure. the condition reported OF
1855 in last months report was the
lowest on record for that period in
over fifteen years. The question as to
whether there his been a further de-
terioration in the condition of the crop
since then or an Improvement Is now
a subject of considerable discussion.
Another UnfavOrnble Report Likely.
The chances are. however, that the
coming report will make another un-
favorable showing and further lessen
the prospect of even the crop turning
out as much as the 11,5o0,00O to H.
100000 bales which last months re-
port Indicated In view of the fact
that a crop of fully 100000 bales
has been needed to partially make up
for the heavy shortages in last sea-
sons crop of but 1o,a5o,ooo bales
against 13,s5o,oOO the previous year,
such prospect as this Is far from
satisfactory The records show that
IN the last fifteen years the crop MADE
an Improvement in condition during
August in only one year. That WAS In
1903. when there was a gain of but "
points as against average losses In
all the otner years from July IS to
August 25 of about s per cent. The
crop has improved somewhat In the
| Atlantic and Gulf states from the very
low conditions reported in last months
report, but has deteriorated SO much
| in Texas and some of the other States.

show an Improvement in the average
for the whole belt this year. How
much the deterioration will be Is,
however, question which Will be

vance of the publication of the gov
