WOULD CONTROL ALL THE COM MoDlTIEs OF LIFE AND BE
 IN ONE CITY. I
New York Is Already Charged with Controlling the Price of Cotton
 Leslie Shaw Makes Plea
 Against Bank.

New York. Feb 16.--~Let Us not tempt a restless people by deliher- ate act of congress centralizing fnan- cial power in single city," said Les lie M. Shaw, formerly secretarV I the treasury in speech tonight ore the financial Forum at the West .3i1s- Y. M c. A., and arguing against the establishment of central bank.
 Mir Shaw said in part:
 "The advocates of the central bank never fail to emphasize the import ance of keeping such an institution ont of politics and out of Wall street. By doing sc they hope to dispel the impression that the very purpose of the central bank is to centralize the financial power in Wall street.
 'In a recent speech made in this city by the chairman of the commit tee on banking and currency, it was said that the bill would limit dividends to per cent and expressly provides that the capital stock should be own ed by banks throughout the country: ownership on the part of the national banks being compulsory. If the livi- dends are to be limited to per cent think there is no strong interest in New York will object to the stock be-
 ing held in the country and if it be held in the country and scattered among the national banks somewhat in proportion to their capital. control by the affiliated interest of New York will be assured
 There is no way by which control can be obtained and retained with sueh certainty as to place the owner ship of the stock in the country cor respondents of the big city banks. Where will their proxies be sent, if not to their city correspondent? It sounds well and it may deceive the thoughtless, but the plan was worked out by the thoughtful.
 bNiiSAc III luice cO-OFulHdtb branches of government and do not believe in any of those branches being controlled or seeking to control by coercion or otherwise. either of the other two. am opposed to central ization, political as we'll as commer- eial.
 T repeat, it surprises me that the large interests should now seek cen tral bank. which must of necessity fn- tensify prejudice. The south alrelady believes New York city controls the price of cotton.
 "Wrh a central bank the large in- terests of New York city can control not only the price of cotton, but the price of other commodities. Clothed with such power, should a long period Of industrial stagnation be our futara lot, to what unjust and unmerited critA icism may they not be subjected and what dire calaniities may not he pre- cipitated upon us all, in misguided desire to get revenue upon fesl. Would the central bank he out of pol itics then?"

OBTAINED $2o,ooo FOR ADMINl S. TERlNc HERBS TO MEMBERS
 OF THE FAMILY.
Chews His Herbs and if They Do Not Poison Him They Will Not Pois- on Any One Else, Is His<
 Belief

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 16.-fIow Guessing Hatred Charles Jordan, a colored man of Kansas City. Kan, who adyertises himself as Minister of Medicine, Medical Doctor and Doctor of Live rand Gall Stone,n an admins terer of herb remedies, compounded by himself, obtained from $1O,0o0 to s20,000 in about eight years for dec. toring members of the Swope family was told by the doctor here today.
 He was called to give a deposition in the islander suit by Dr. B. c. Hvdc against John G. Paxton, executor for the Swope estate.
 The doctors name was first brought into the Swope case when Mrs. E. c. Hyde issued statement expressing confidence in her husband Innocence and saying that Craftsman Swope used Jordan's remedies. Jor- dan gave his deposition after much protest. as he claimed his ministering to the swopes had nothing to do with the case.
 Jordan testified that his nledieires were harmless ''yarbs," as he called them.
 He said they were compoundel of roots and herbs. some obtained in fcr- eign countries and some dug in .he woods of this vicinity.
 But how could you tell whether these herbs were poisonous or not ?p Attorney Frank P Walsh asked hin.
 Why that's easy.' replied Jordan. "Pd chew them. If they didn't pois. on me certainly they were not pois- onous and certainly they would not hurt my patients. That's slIe theory l worked on."
 The herb man claims to be South American. He was raised by a negro named Eli Jordan in Texas.
 There is no record of his having a license in Kansas.
 Six witnesses testified at short session of the grand jury today. They were Dr. c. T. Twyman, the swope family physician; O. B. Gentry. druggist of Independence, of whom Colonel Swope purchased compound containing strychnine; Benjamin smith and R. c Field, undertakers' assistants who aided in the removal of Colonel Swopes body from the vault; Sylvester Spangler, Colonel Swcpe's confidential agent, and John c. Paxton.
 As previously announced. the pre-. linlinary hearing of Dr. Hyde, set for tomorrow, in Independence, will be continued by Prosecutor Conkling. probably for one week.
 Word was received from Drs. Hek. toen, Vaughn and Haynes today that they would not arrive here until Sat. urday. Their testimony will probably not begin before the grand jury before Monday.

AUDITOR REFUSES
TO ALLOW BILLS
Health and Sanitary Officials
Are Put Out and Say
1t Isn't Right.
EXPENSES TOO HIGH

Health officer DaHinden and AS
sistant Sanitary Policeman Harry ar
angry at an action taken by Audito
Rrumbaugh. The state law make
provision that the health officer anu
cne member of the health department
be sent to the meeting of the state
board held annually at Columbus
Member Arnold was appointed to g
but at the last minute he found tina
1t would be impossible and the assis.
ant sanitary man was sent in his
stead.
1t was understood by the members
Of the board that $50 was to be ex-
pended in the way of expenses and
some money was advanced from the
city treasury to pay fares, hotel bills,
etc.
Recently the two officials presented
their EXPENSE accounts to the members
of the board and their vouchers were
sanctioned. DaHindens bill was
S26.7O and Harry's 5000, but when
thev were presented to the auditor he
refused to issue his checks for the
amounts. claiming that the amounts
we're beyond reason. He had ATTENDED
meeting at Columbus at the same
time, spent one HOIe uaS IhelS th9'h
the rest and his bill was only SIG.
The state examiner told the auditor
hat the bills should be itemized
Then this was done. DaHinden's bill
read: Railroad fare, $500; hotel ex'
penses, $3.50: "incidentals," $40. Ther
the auditor raised another kick, saying
that the incidentals were too high.
The city auditors do not usually
question bills of this kind, when they
are authorized by the department ant
sanctioned by the members, but h'
refuses to pay the bills. The officers
are claimed to have received none!
to pay their bills before starting, bu
Auditor Brlmbaugh wants them to re
turn the change.
