FAVORS CENTRAL BANK.
A. J. Frame Addresses Group Three of
the Wisconsin Bankers Associa
ton on Mooted Subject.

RIPON, Wis, June 2.-[Speciall-
a. J. Frame of Waukesha was one of
the chief speakers before Group 3 of the
Wisconsin Bankers association today.
He refuted a number of the ideas advo-
Gated by DIR. Selwyn Brown in a recent
magazine article opposing the central
bank scheme.
Mr.. Frame declared that a central
bank having the right to issue extra cur
rency by paying the government tax
to prevent imitation, could move the
crops or prevent cash suspensions of
banks and their paralyzing effects, and
plunglng by banks such as obtained in
1907 IN New York.
In the experience of other countries,
the central bank steadies interest rates,
prevents locking up of cash by bears in
attempts to corner the market, and gives
confidence to country banks and millions
of depOsitors. said Mr.. Frame.
Referring to the old United States
bank and the fear of monopolization, Mr..
Frame denied that that institution was
any fair example of the central bank
he advocates, which he thinks would act
as a safety valve to the present system
of banking and add greatly to prosperity
by preventing the possibility of panics.

against twenty-five railways to restrain
them from advancing freight rates, was
obtained today on officials of the Mis-

The announcement Wednesday night
that the defendants proposed a vigorous
contest of the restraining order granted
by Judge David z. Dyer of the Unit
ed States circuit court at Hannibal, Mo-.
Tuesday, though not unexpected was
taken in shippers circles here to indicate
conclusively that the government had
caught them mapping.
The action coming as it did, was a
complete surprise, SO much so, that off
Gals here were unable to decide quickly
on definite action. 1t was only after eX-
tended telegraphic conferences that the
general conference of railroad counsel
to be held in Chicago tomorrow was
agreed on.
From information obtainable this
morning. the old freight rates are in
effect at all points on railroads having
general headquarters here None of the
officials would permit himself to be
quoted Oh the question of rates today.

THE "HAIR SEAL"
Large Catch Cannot Influence Market
for Furs

Recently in the New York Sun APP
peared an article asserting that the seal
Fishery just enG>d was the most valuable
in thirty years and that between 100000
and 100000 seals had been caught
These seals are what are known as chair
seals" being devoid of fur and covered
With coarse, bristly hair. They are
north from - to So each and are prin-
-ipally used for leather. The fur seal''
used in the manufacture of sealskin gar
xI,ents is an entirely different animal and
is exceptionally scarce: the fine skins
commanding over 500 each at the pres
ent time. The contract between the
United States government and the
Alaska Commercial company relative to
the taking of seals on the Pribiloff
islands having expired, the government
has decided for the preservation of the
seals Oh these islands not to renew the
contract, consequently the principal
source of supply for fur SEALS will be
cut off for a number of years. That the
buying public may be properly Informed
as to the scarcity of 'sfur SEALS" and not
be misled by the many published state
Hlents regarding the large catch of hair
seals as referred to. we ask that you give
this letter due publicity.-C. c. Shayne &

THE ALBATROSS.
The Largest Seabird Having the Power
of Flight.

The albatross, that wanderer of the
seas, so often referred to in prose and
poem, is nevertheless a stranger to the
average person, and by some is even con-
sidered a myth. In Coleridge's '"rhe
Rhine Of the Ancient Mariner the al
batross plays a leading part, and one
sorrows for the poor bird which, after,
following the ship for weeks, is pitilessly
shot down by a mariner.
The albatrOss is the largest seabird
having the power of flight, and is close
ly allied to the gull, petrol, and Mother
Carey's chicken. 1t has q tremendous
stretch of wing, averaging from 10 to IL
feet. The wings are, however extremely
narrow, being about inches in breadth.
The body is about feet in length and
the weight is from Is to - pounds, O.
comparatively light weight when one
considers the extreme length of wing.
The albatross is possessed of peculiarly
long, oddly shaped bill, which gives it a
strange appearance. The nostrils open,
from round, horizontal tubes on each side
of the bill, but at its base
The great bird is generally met with,
in southern seas, although it is occasion
ally seen on our Pacific coast On the
Atlantic side it is rarely found as far
north as Tampa bay.
It's food consists of cuttlefish, jelly
fish and scraps thrown from passing
ships. 1t is a greedy bird, and at times.
gorges itself to such an extent that it is
unable to rise from the water
Its power Of fight is, however, the
most remarkable thing about the alba
tross. 1t spends its life, with the excep--
ton of q few weeks given each year to.
nesting, entirely at sea, and is on the
wing practically all the time. Further
more, it does not progress by tapping
it's wings as most birds do, but seems to

GUNBOAT PREVENTS SMELLING OF
INSURGENT TRENCHES.
AMERICANS MAY TAKE PART IN
MADRIZ BLOCKADE.

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, June 3
DR.. Julian 1rias, the representative on
the Atlantic coast of President Madriz,
has issued a decree that vessels cleared
for Bluehelds on or after June / may not
enter this port without the permission
of the Madriz government.
The decree sets forth that all ship
ping which cleared for Bluefieids before
that date will be permitted to enter the
harbor after the payment of custom du-
ties at the custom house on Bluefelds
bluff, which was recently captured and
is still held by the government troops.
The official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel Ven
us, and if its provisions are observed it
will mean that the coastwise traffic will
be absolutely in the control of President
Madriz anG the consequent weakening
of the insurgents at Bluefelds.
The United States gunbOat Paducah
will not permit the Venus to lombard the
city of Bluefields or to shell the trenches
of the revolutionists on the inland side
of the city by firing over the provisional
capital. Whether the United States gov
eminent will allow the Nicaraguan gov
eminent to say what vessels shall enter
the chief eastern seaport of the country,
and under what conditions such entry
shall be made is a matter of doubt here.
