as in any case inadmissible, but the
latter as permissible just as soon as
popular readiness for it is practlcally
manifested. And certainly there IS
stronger ground for the advocacy oi
Iccal option on the question Of license or
no license than for that of home rule
on the question of Sunday opening OF
closing.
For there IS radical difference be-
tween the two questions. That OF IL
cense affects solely the liquor traffic
which from time immemorial has by
general consent been regarded as mt
and, indeed. a needful subject Tor such
regulation. Moreover, even in places
where full local option does not exist,
the local interest in the matter Is rec
ognized in the requirement OF local
petition or recommendation for the
granting CT a license. The Sunday OBJ
servance question. on the other hand.
is vastly more general. 1t applies to
other businesses and occupations. as
well as to liquor selling, and has always
been recognized as something which IS
to be controlled by general and not by
local laws. Thus the closing Of banks
on Sundays. the making of notes not
payable on that day and the general
regarding Of it as a dies non in business
affairs are of universal usage or enact
ment. The proposal for home rule on
Sunday liquor selling contemplates.
therefore. a radical departure from a
long esta blished general principle. while
that fer local option on license is in
substantial conformity with equally
long existing general practice.

The result of the British elections is
now sufficiently apparent. The Liberals
and Unionists will be almost equal in
strength, and combination of the Lib
erals and Laborites will show good
working majority over the Unionists
alone, but not over all. The National
lists will have the balance of power. BY
voting with the Liberals they will make
the government position impregnable,
but by voting with the Unionists they
will be able at any time to put the gov
ernment in minority. The stability of
the government and the duration of the
new Parliament will, therefore, depend
upon the Irish vote and how that vote
will be cast at times is probematic. OF
course, the Irish Home Rulers have no
love for Unionists as such or for the
House OF Lords But neither are they
enamoured of the proposed land tax or of
that free trade system which they deem
a leading cause of the decline of Irish
industries. 1t is also to be borne in
mind that the Nationalists have no large
amount of money to spare for campaign
purposes, and are therefore not inclined
to bring about dissolutions and elections
oftener than is necessary. The chances
are that there will be some earnest
negotiations between British and Irish
leaders before the new House of Com
mons begins important work

CHICAGO POLICE HAVE
CLEW TO BOMB PLOTS
Internal Machines Said to Have
Been Placed by SiCiIian
Criminals

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-The Chicago po-
lice believe they have a clew pointing
directly to perpetrators of black-hand
bomb outrages here, and detectives are
now running down the blackmailers.
Arrests are expected next week that
will show the terrorizing of peaceful
Italians has been carried on by an or
ganization of criminals constituting the
American branch of a Sicilian secret
organization.
Il cannot tell just where the clew
came FROM" said Capt. Halpin, "but it
is so convincing that have put fifteen
detectives on the case. Developments,
believe, will come Monday or Tues
day. So far, we have learned enough
to make it apparent the bomb throw
ing is being carried on by a criminal
society of complicated origin, rather
than by the bands of loafers whom the
police and Italian victims of the black
mailers always have held responsible.
1t is also evident the society is closely
affiliated with the Sicilian secret Grim
inal ORDERS"
While Capt Halpin was preparing to
run down his clew, Chief OF Police
Steward was taking steps to safeguard
Italian residents of Chicago through the
organization Of an auxiliary Italian
squad to be added to the police force.

MEMBER Of THE LIGHT
BRIGADE SEEKS CHARITY
Wearer of Victoria Cross, Old
and Crippled, Would Go
Home for Pension

OAKLAND, Dec. 10.-George Smith,
one of the immortal 900 that rode
in the Charge of the Light Brigade at
the battle of Balaklava, is now at the
age of "a seeking charity from the
Oakland board of supervisors. He is
asking for sufficient funds to carry
him and his daughter to British soil
in order that he may renew his claim
to a pension from the British. govern
ment.
Until recently Smith had earned his
living as q wood cutter, but age
and an old bullet wound that grew
more troublesome with the lapse OF
years compelled him to abandon work.
That wound he had received during
the war of the Indian mutiny while
rescuing his commanding officer, Capt.
Hyman, from a field where bullets
were pouring like a hailstorm. Hy-
mans leg had been carried away by
a ball and he was lying helpless when
Smith ran to him and carried him to
the breastworks For his bravery
he was awarded the Victoria cross and
received a personal gift of 20 sover-
eigns from Queen Victoria.
Another scar Smith bears where a
gunshot grazed his head in the charge
at Balaklava. This injury kept him
in the hospital until the close of the
Crimean war, but he had already
fought through the brunt of the cam
paign, having been in action at Alma,
Sebastopol and Inkerman.
After the Indian mutiny Smith came
to America. At Watertown, N. Y,
he trained recruits for the Union army.

HOUSE BANKS
s3,659,0D0 OVER RESERVE
Statement of Week Shows Con-
dition in New York Is Ex-
CeptionaIIy Favorable

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The bank
statement of clearing house banks for
the week shows that the banks hold
SO, ,659, 900 more than the requirements
of the 25 per cent reserve rule. This
is a decrease of $S,218,000 In the pro-
portionate cash reserve as compared
with last week.
The Financier will say:
The statement of the clearing house
banks of the city of New York for the
week ending December TO- taking the
actual condition report as\ basis, was
unexpectedly favorable The prelim-
mary estimate of losses of cash DUR
ing the week, by reason of operations
with the sub-treasury, made it almost
certain that a decrease of between
eight and nine million dollars had oc-
Cured Instead of that figure, how
ever Saturdays statement showed a
loss of only $3,S65, 900 in specie and
legals and as there was contraction
of $14,24S, 200 in loans and a corre-
spending shrinkage of $1S,116,900 in de-
posits, the result was that reserve re-
quirements were lowered by sum in
excess of the loss of cash, so that the
total reserve actually rose $663,325
bringing the present surplus to $5,71L.-
825 above the 25 per cent minimum.
MYSTERY OF CASH DECREASE
Just why the decrease in cash was
so much less than expected is difficult
of explanation as the statement of the
trust companies and outside institu-
tions showed but very slight changes
in their cash holdings. 1t Is probable
that some of the loans of the banks
have been shifted to the trust COM
panies since these institutions report
gain in that item during the week of
S5, 766,700 1t is also probable that In
ternational operations occurred in the
weeks business. The statement, based
on averages, differed widely from the
statement OF actual conditions, the
changes, according to averages, having
been an increase of five millions in
loans, a decrease Of nine and third
millions in specie and legal tenders,
a decrease of four and a half millions
In deposits and a reduction in reserve
of eight and quarter millions, MAX
ing the surplus only $S65S,S25. The
actual statement, however, is a truer
exhibit of the conditions of the banks
than the compilation or averages. EX-
change quotations show that gold
might be imported now at very small
profit

fective valve struck him in the face.

caused the aviator less concern than
the going, and steering clear of the
air currents on Mt. Wilson he again
sped over the business district and
made straight for the landing ground.
Willard was first greeted by his sister,
Miss Emily Willard, on alighting, cold
and numb. and received the congrat-
ulations of airmen and friends on his
achievement
The craft, he said, was under perfect
control during the entire trip. The
engine worked perfectly, he said, de-
spite the layer of ice which still COW
cred 1t after hs~ had landed. Some
measure of credit for the success may
be attributable to the fact that a>Los
Angeles product was used, the gaso-
line having been supplied by the Union
oil company of this city.

"but the trip was fine" Willard made
an average speed Of forty-five miles
