OF BANKS
IN FRANCE REVIEWED
Monetary Commission Issues
Book by Prof. LiesSe

WASHINGTON. June pa striking
review of the manner in which the
Bank of France has attained the domi-
mating position which it occupies in
French finance and its relation to the
joint stock banks has just been made
public by the national monetary COM
mission. The monograph on the sub
iect is entitled Evolution of Credit and
Banks in France and is written by
Andre Liesse, professor at the National
Conservatory of Arts and Trades and
at the School of Political Sciences.
Professor Liesse takes up the evolu-
tion of banking in France in three pc
riods, from 1900 to 1S4S, when the busi-
ness of the Bank of France was re-
stricted largely to Paris; the period
from 1S4S to 1875, when the bank be-
came truly a national institution by
the absorption of the departmental
banks of issue, by its aid in the extern
sion of the railway network, and by it's
mastery conduct of the negotiations
for the payment of the great war in
demnity to Germany; and from 1875 to
the present time.
In the crisis of 1890 the Bank of Eng
land borrowed of the Bank of France
75,000,000 francs (s15.000,000) in gold
with which to relieve the stress in the
English market.

raft that arrived yesterday was not so
fortunate. When north of Point Reyes
one of the forward chains became
loose and the raft began to shed piles
over the face of the Pacific.
The steamer State of California ran
through a big patch of them, and from
Point Reyes comes word that the beach
in that vicinity is strewn with logs.

logs in the raft, however, the loss to

PREACHER HAS GRIEVANCE
AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN
Rev. Fred R. Wedge Complains
of Arrest and Insults

Rev. Fred r. Wedge, missionary. at
tached to the First Unitarian church.
and living at 633 Vallejo street. has a
grievance against the police. He has
been ia the habit of holding meetings on
the Barbary coast at nights, and Satur-
day night he was arrested by Police
men Clark and Casey on charges of
disturbing the peace and resisting an
officer. The cases were called in Police
Judge Conlan's court yesterday and
continued until Thursday.
Wedge is known on the coast as
the pugilist preacher He worked his
way through college by giving boxing
instruction to students. He complained
that Clark had been threatening him
for some time for no reason whatever,
and after the close of the religious
meeting at Pacific and Montgomery
streets Saturday night Clark put his
hand on his shoulder and told him to
go with him to the patrol box as he
was under arrest.
Wedge said that he demonstrated
with Clark, who then called Policeman
Casey and the two dragged him to
the box He alleged that he was in
suited at the city prison and denied
permission TO communicate with his
friends. He was not released until
Sunday morning just in time to join in
the morning services. He threatened
to bring charges against the police
men.
