Biddle cannot hold any bouts in his

SYSTEM OF OUTRIGHT
BUYING is CHANGED

Chicago, March Is The grip of
Chicago upon the producer, has been
ended by the change of system to
outright buying, according to a re-
port which shows that only twenty
five per cent of the produce raised
in the United States now is shipped
on consignment. The bulk of the
consignments is found to be the very
perishable stuff not sent in carload
lots, such as strawberries.
There is still another angle to
the commission business that very
few people are familiar with" said
the head of one house, and that is
the rate of profit the average COM
mission man figures on making. I
don't think you will find anywhere
in South Water street a house OF
any size that attempts to make more
than from to 10 per cent. Last
month l did a gross business of $500
900. My daily expense ranged for
the month between 500 and 5000
and yet with all this expense and the
big business ] did my net profit was
only a fraction over Z per cent.
II give you this simply as an IL
lustration of the fact that the COM
mission business as far as the rate of
profit is concerned, is just about the
same as any other, the only differ
ence being that We probably make
our rate of profit on a larger volume
of business than the average. In
this way per cent to us is probab-
ly as good as 20 p0er cent to the av-
erage business"

HEARING ON CURRENCY
REFORM

Washington, d. c., March 2S.--
To ascertain the views of bankers,
and other persons familiar with H.
Hancial matters on the proposed re-
form currency laws, the National
Monetary Commission today began .
series of hearings that will aid in de-.
termining what form of currency
measure shall be reported to con-
gress. The claims for a central
banking institution drafted by Sena-
tor Aldrich was used as the basis for
discussion at the hearing, which was
attended by the currency committee
OF the American Bankers Associa-
ton. While many changes will be-,
made in the plan probably before il
is submitted to Congress its most
prominent features seem to meet
with favor among the practical bank
ers, who regard it as in the nature OF
a.legalization of the clearing house
methods employed by the banks in
time of panic.

LA TOILETTE DOOMED
..... FOR PRESIDENT

Boston, Mass, March 20 Re-
publican politicians are anticipating
with considerable interest the lee
ture that Senator Johnathan Bourne
of Oregon is to deliver at the local
club tomorrow night on delegates
versus popular government The
lecture and the informal conferences
to follow, it is understood here, will
be the launching of Senator LaFol-
lettes candidacy for president. Sen
ator Bourne, who is the founder OF
the National Progressive republican
league, is understood to have formed
a political alliance with Senator La
Toilette and to have undertaken the
task of capturing the New England
delegation to the republican conven-
ton of next year.
The main plank of the Bourne
platform is the initiative, referen-
dun, and recall.

CHICAGOAN WEALTHY

Chicago, March 30 The tonic of
American hustle and shortcuts APP
piled to European business methods
has done wonders-use no other,
say Chicago business men in relating
certain cases of that sort without
dwelling on the shortcomings of the
Americans in foreign markets. "In
one instance" one story runs, "a man
came from Europe and entered in
business in Chicago, whose business
has increased 500 per cent in one
year as a result of knowledge gained
by joining the association. He fol-
lowed European methods, for one
thing, failing to discount his bills,
but carrying large savings account.
We taught him how to adopt the
American system, and the result has
been to make him wealthy"

CITY BEAUTIFUL" PLAN
is GROWING

Chicago, March % The "city
beautiful" plan which has ben slow
iy gaining Roadway in Chicago was
epitomized by Chairman Charles H.
Wacker, of the Chicago Plan COM
mission in an address this way: Its
proposed first of all, to widen and
develop existing rectangular streets,
and secondly, to cut diagonal streets
TO facilitate still more the movement
of traffic
The circuit of first Importance for
immediate relief of the congestion in
the heart of the city, and one that
will be typical of all others to be
executed as the city's growth de-
mands, is Michigan avenue, 18th
street, Halstead street and Chicago
avenue. Michigan avenue may be
called the base line of traffic of the
city. a great development of this
avenue is proposed. 1t is proposed
to develop 18th street simultaneous
ly with the Michigan avenue extern
sion Cor north and south connecting
boulevard) in order to bring the
West side people down to the shore
of Lake Michigan and to Grant park.
Halstead street, great business
thoroughfare, is so situated that its
usefulness might be much increas-
ed. 1t must inevitably carry enor-
nous traffic, and is selected as the
north and south axial line of circu-
cation.
Chicago avenue, already 100 feet
wide, will, If well maintained, serve
for long time the traffic which 1t
will be made to carry. Connecting
as it does with the proposed north
and south boulevard at Pine street,
1t will form the fourth side of the
rectangle, constituting the first cir
cult of improvement.

ANIMAL STARTED THE
GREAT CHINESE PLAGUE.

Washington, March 2S.-That the
great plague which is sweeping Chi
ma, leaving trail of death and star
walton, was started by fur bearinA
animal closely resembling the Ameri-
can woodchuck. is statement made
in report of the Marine Hospital
Service. The Chinese, it is stated.
have until recently been afraid to kilk
the animals because of superstition.
1t was estimated by Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman that in the cities of Har-
bin and Fuchtion alone, more than
four thousand persons have died OF
the plague during the present cpl
demic. A report received from Con-
sui Greene at Hardin states:
"The epidemic is having disas-
trous effect on trade. Only under
exceptional conditions can Chinese
merchants now travel from place to
place along the railway. while the
danger from brigands and from tbs
disease itself, deters them from goine
by cart. Frequent outbreaks OF the
plague among the laboring Glasses
prevent the handling of freight; Or
binary communications with Futchit~
ion IN stopped and foreign merchants
hesitate to enter into any contractp~.
with the Chinese for fear that the
latter may not live to carry out tAss
agreements.

$4,000 from the express company,
Will be made in the district court OF
Colfax county this week.
r. H. Farr and j. B. Humphreys,
known as 'Nigger Arkansas" who

than three years, will be placed on
trial, charged with the robbery. Dis
trlct Attorney George Remley will
represent the territory and E. V.
Long of Las Vegas and John Nor
row and e. c. Champion of Ration

The robbery was one of the most
daring and successful ever carried
out In New Mexico. The thieves Sc
cured $4,000 in gold and currency,
which was being taken from Albu-
querque to Dawson to pay off the
men at the coal camp and had been
left for few minutes in an iron
safe on the depot platform at
French.
Three masked bandits galloped up
just as the train pulled out, bound
and gagged the station agent, blew
open the safe and after thrusting the
money into sacks which they threw
across their saddles, galloped away.
Not cent of the money was ever re-
covered. Farr, who is a nephew OF
Jefferson B. Farr, sheriff of Huer-
fano county, Colorado, was suspected
of being implicated in the robbery
when it was declared that the horses
ridden by the bandits were his prop
erty
The prosecution claims to have
evidence to show that Humphreys
was recognized by one of the passen-
gers in the waiting room at the
time of the robbery He was cap
tured in Oklahom six months later
and has been in Jail at Las Vegas
and Ration since then. Farr has
been out under heavy bonds.
