MONEY MEETING
National Monetary g Commission
Will Meet at Washington Il
Next Thursday s : i

Washington, March Nj.
son w. Aldrich Is expected In Wash.
ington tomorrow and he has directed
that a meeting Of the monetary COM
mission be called for Thursday next.
No inttmation was given BY Nh Al
drich regarding the purposes a&tend-
ing but it IL understood the commie.
sion will consider tho question Of m
American Bankers association to
come to Washington to discuss the
Aldrich plan for currency reform.
1t has been almost three momths
since the Aldrich plan for q general
national banking reserve was submit
ted to the national banking conmfs-
sion and published to the country and
it Is understood that after canvassing
the returns from the country ct large.
the commission will be called spon
to determine whether there would be
justification for preparing this meas
ure for presentation to congress but
It Is not believed that this will be un-
dertaken at present
No one expects that any legislation
along the lines of the Aldrich bill will
be attempted at the special session
Of congress which is called for April
4. It is the understanding that any
attempt in the way Of financial reform
will be made in the first regular ses-
sion of the Sixty-second. congress.
The general belief is that at the
Thursday gathering there will be con-
sidered the laying out Of q program
for the interim between now and
next December. Probably this plan
will include visits to various parts Of
the country with a view to educating
the public concerning the provisions
Of the Aldrich bill.

Philadelphia, March TIT I do not

This statement, which Sarah POLKA
mus, maid in the employ Of Edward

throws new light, according to Coron-
er Ford on the mysterious circum-
stances surrounding the deaths Of the
three persons who died Of cyanide pot

yesterd ~.
The Polhamus girl was sent for by
Coroner Ford yesterday and question
ed by that official in his city hall Of
fice.
"Mrs. Midlen thought the world of
little Edward" she said. "The day be-
fore she went to the hospital heard
her talking to her sister, Miss Janet
Lewis. If take bad turn. II do

she was saying. I love him too much
to leave him behind. have spoiled
and petted him too much for him to
be left alone
Both Women Were Crying
"Mrs. Midlen was crying and so was
her sister. Miss Janet was bitterly
opposed to the operation. and did all
she could to prevent Mrs. Midlen' q
entering the hospital. For several
days before Edwards mother left the
physicians refused to allow her to
enter her sisters room.
II suppose their reason was because
Miss Janet was a Christian Scientist.
/ know that Miss Janet tried her best
to convert Mrs. Midlen and the entire
family to her belief, and on one oc-
casion brought Christian Scientist
healer to the house"
Coroner Ford is inclined to believe
that the statement Of the maid IL
the best evidence thus far offered
and when the young womtn left his
Office declared that It Ia now his opin-
ion that Mrs. Sarah Lewis, the mother,
and Miss Janet Lewis, the daughter,
entered into an agreement to end their
lives together that they might join
their loved relative. It Is now thought
that the poison was administered to
the boy that the last wish Of his moth

be fulfilled.

Mr.. Lowe was directed by the cor
