NEWS|ES' TO HAVE
MODEL CLUBHOUSE
Four Hundred Omaha Boys Will
Be Aided by City Phil
anthropiSts

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 16.-How to
keep the 400 newsboys of this city from
shooting craps, swearing, smoking and
forgetting to wash their hands ard
faces at proper intervals is a problem
that has agitated the members of the
ChildrenIs Home society for many a
month. At last 1t is believed that a
solution has been reached. An organi-
zation for the welfare of the news
boys started eight years ago fell
through, and since then the youngsters
have been permitted to just grow up
and run wild. Now they are to be
taken in hand and their condition bet
tered.
Probation officer Bernstein has in
terested a number Of the business men
of the city and a club has been organ
lied, with e. w. Dickson, capitalist;
Rome Miller, proprietor of the largest
hotel in the city; ]. M. Cudahy. a
packer; Rev. Father Burns, pastor
who has always interested himself in
boys, and Judge Sutton of the Juvenile
court, as trustees. The committee hav-
ing immediate charge of the welfare OF
the boys is made up of Joe Carroll,
Tony Costenzo, Tony Monico and Sam
Kaln, all of whom were once news
boys, but who are now prosperous
business men of the city.
The following rules have been
adopted by the two committees to gov
ern the actions of the boys:
No smoking, chewing, gambling or
jumping on street cars
Must have clean faces and hands.
No going into saloons
Must be loyal to another.
Must be off the streets at s o'clock at
night unless an extra is out.
No boy under eight years of age shall
sell papers.
No foul or profane language.
A large room has been rented near
the business portion of the city. 1t has
been equipped with a small library,
tables ON which games of many kinds
can be played, tubs and shower baths.
The club will be self governed and OFF,
cered by the boys, but over its affairs
the committee of business men will
have general supervision, they feeling
that they should have this control, as
they are supplying the finances for its
maintenance.
1t will cost the boys nothing to Join
the club. Each member is given
numbered badge for identification and
as a certificate of character. If COM
plant is filed against any boy, or II
any boy becomes troublesome, re-
port is made to the Juvenile court,
when Judge Sutton will investigate
and take the necessary action.

BANK UNEAS|NESS
CAUSED BY PANIC
Alarm and Decentralization Follow
in Path of Confidence
and Prosperity
Especial to The HERALD

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The uneasiness
which existed in banking circles
throughout the spring and summer of
this year over the tight money condi-
tons that have been general in the
west is a natural result of the object
lesson afforded by the panic of 1907.
The bankers have not forgotten how
a situation of confidence and pros
perity was suddenly changed to one
of alarm and Generalization. One
week the trade was good, labor was
fully employed, manufacturers were
loaded up with orders for months
ahead, and the next week cash pay
ments were suspended, trade was par
alyzed, orders were being Cancelled,
enterprises abandoned and men thrown
out of employment by tens of thou
sands. All of this Generalization
came about because certain develop
ments of local significance in New
York city started a run on a few
banks there. Nowhere else in the
country were depositors alarmed. The
greater part Of the mischief done was
caused by precautionary action which
the banks themselves were impelled
to take. The natural impulse of each
bank to increase it's own cash hold
ings was enough to break down the
system.
The fundamental weakness of the
banking situation in the United States
is in the lack of central reserve fund,
outside of the competitive banking
circle. There is an inevitable ten
dency in this country for the banks
to expand close up to the limit of
their legal reserves. In no other coun-
try is competition in the banking bust
ness so absolutely free and uncon-
trolled. In the United Kingdom at
the close of last year there were only
III banking corporations, with about
5000 branches, and in all other i'm
portant countries the business is in
the hands of comparatively few cor
porations, with numerous branches.
AS the head offices of these corpora
lions are usually grouped in a few
cities and in close communication with
each other, it is apparent that a com
mon policy is more easily maintained
that in the United States, with It's
$4,000 independent banks.
NO CHANGE ADVOCATED
Nobody is advocating a change to
the branch bank system in this coun-
try, but 1t is apparent that along with
the advantages of our system of in
dependent local banks there are GER
tain perils to be guarded against. An
excess of competition is one of them,
and one of its evil results is overex-

T0SSES BODY ON LAWN
AFTER AUTO KILLS BABE
Driver Endeavors to Conceal Fact
Machine Caused Death

MATTEAWAN, N. :, Aug 16.-The
police here are hunting for some clew
to the identity of an automobilist
whom they charge with killing the
3-year-old son of George Verdi, we'll
to-do farmer.
The child was playing by the road
side when the automobile whizzed by.
A projecting bolt caught his clothing
and he was dragged beneath the
wheels and killed instantly. According
to the police, the driver stopped the
car, picked up the baby's body and
threw it over a fence on to lawn
beside the road. Persons in a cross
street too far away to identify the
automobilist saw him stop his machine,
pick up something from the road and
toss it aside. They thought 1t was a
trifiing obstruction of some kind and
paid no attention. A few minutes
later the baby's body was found on
the lawn.

LUXURY IMPORTS
SHOW BIG GAINS
Receipts into United States of
Fine Things Largest in
History

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The impor-
tation of luxurieS into the United
States was larger in the fiscal year 1910
than in any earlier year in the history
of our commerce. Figures prepared by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, covering
the commerce of the full fiscal year,
show the importation of fully $250,OO0O0O
worth of articles which may properly
be classed as Injuries, that total eX-
ceeding by more than $25,000,00O the fig
ures of the former high record year
1907, and being actually more than
double those of the year 1900, a decade
ago.
Diamonds, jewerly. laces and en-
broideries, furs, feathers, beads and
perfumery on the one hand, and cigars
and tobacco, wines and liquors and au-
tomobiles on the other, are the princi-
pal articles forming the $3.50, 100000
worth of luxuries imported, though to
these great groups must be added
third which includes art works, deco
rated china and bisque, musical instru-
ments, toys and orchids, palms, etc.
Diamonds and laces run close race
with tobacco and liquors in popular
favor, as measured by the value of
their imports. The figures of the bu-
reau of statistics show the importation
of $4,000, 900 worth of diamonds and
other precious stones IN 1910, against
S46,O 100000 worth of laces and embroid
cries, S37,OO0,OO0 worth of tobacco and
cigars, and $23,OOO,O0O worth of wines
and liquors. Under the general group
of diamonds and other precious
stones'' diamonds formed a very large
proportion of the total a part Of them
coming in in the natural form to be
cut and set in the United States, anoth-
er part cut but not set, the proportion
set before being sent to the United
States being extremely small and in
cluded under the general head of jew
elry. The value Of uncut diamonds
entering the country in 1910 was $10,
25O. 600; of diamonds cut but not set,
S29 ,50O, 900; of other precious stones cut
but not set, S7,750,O00; and of jewelry
and other manufactures Of gold and
silver, $3,25O,OO0. Taking the entire
groun of diamonds and other precious
stones, the total for 1910 is $47,750 900,
against $42,5OO,0O0 in 1907 and $l4,250,OOO
in 1900.
IIACES AND ENIBROIDERTES
Iaces, embroideries, etc, as a whole
aggregate in 1910 $46,000,0 600, against
SAC, 500 600 in 1907 and $23.O0O,OO0 in 1900.
This great group of laces, embroideries,
