NO CENTRAL BANK

100000 Capital, as Fiscal Agent
Of Government.
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich's long
awaited plan for the revision Of the
national bank legislation" as he calls
it, was made public in Washington.
1t does not contemplate the estab-
lishment OF a central bank. 1t is so far
from what most people have expected
from Mr. Aldrich that it may come to
many as a notable surprise.
The plan was submitted to the ma
tional monetary commission, but Sen
ator Aldrich was not at the meeting,
Far from recommending the institution
of central bank, Mr.. Aldrich express
ly disclaims belief in it as calculated
to meet the needs of the situation.
What Mr. Aldrich does propose is
the establishment of the Reserve AS
ISOLATION of America" representing
what might be called a federation OF
local associations formed by national
banks. The Rhode Island senator de-
clares the belief that the association,
organized as he proposes, cannot be
controlled by ambitious monetary in
terests or dominated by political in
huence."
Some of the Provisions.
So well-knit is the scheme proposed
that it is difficult to state briefly the
provisions of the plan; but these seem
to be the essentials:
At bottom, local organizations of
of banks, formed by
not less than ten banks. each bank
holding stock in the association in pro-
portion to its capital.
Directors would be elected by these
to the board Of branch" associa' ions,
one branch for each OF the fifteen
financial districts into which the Unit
ed States would be divided.
Each branch" board would include
a certain proportion of men not bank
ers, but representing industrial. agr
cultural. commercial and other inter
ests.

Coolly. yet without In the least
comprehending how best to proceed.
Keith drew toward him the only chair
in the room. and sat down. Miss
Hope-more widely known as Christie
Maclaire-had claimed this drunken
lad as her brother. but. according to
Hawley. he had vehemently denied
any such relationship. Yet there must
be some previous association between
the two. and what this was the plains
man proposed to discover The prob
lem was how best to cause the fellow
to talk frankly-could he be reached
more easily by reference to the girl
or the gambler? Keith studying the

his intrusion. swiftly determined On

He was plainly puzzled, and perfect

That his sister might have left home
since he did. and drifted West under
an assumed name, apparently never

this was the explanation. and nothing

RAILROAD SUES FOR s2.1s

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 23.--A legal battle to decide whether persons who ride on cars, but do not get seats, shall pay fare was begun in the Court of Justice here today
 when a suit brought by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company against Al ten s. Miller, president of the Union Electric Light and Power company of this city, came up for trial. The railroad seeks to recover from MT
 Miller s2.16, the amount of the rail road fare from Philadelphia to Bel ns-i, ~. j., On July 2 last, accord ing to the statement of the case. Mir Miller bought a ticket from Phil adelphia to Belmar, but when he got on the train he found all the
 seats taken and was forced to stand all the way. He rerusec J1 surrender the ticket to the conduc. tor, he claims. on the ground that he saw no reason for giving it up as be did not get seat. The rail road company thereupon instituted
 legal proceedings to recover the amount of the fare. The case is re garded as test case and doubtless will be carried to the highest courts.
