JUDGE CURTIS GRANTS DEGREE
 TO FERGUSON
Finds that Millionaire $ Wife Was Indiscreet with
 Half Breed Guide Custody of Only Child Not Determined-Wife Loses Her Cross Complaint and Gets No Alimony.

Deciding that Emile Carstairs Ferguson was intimate with the half breed Indian guide, George Graham, today handed down a decision grant ing Walter Ferguson, IT,, of Stamford a divorce from the wealthy Philadel- phia woman.
 The court finds that the acts took place on June 16 and IT, 1910 on the steamer North Star plying between New York anG Portland, Ne, and on June IS, 1910 at Kineo, Me. Judge Curtis says the other allegations re- garding acts in 1909 in New York and in Portland Me, are not proven.
 Mrs. Ferguson filed a cross bill al- leging intolerable cruelty. She claim ed her husbands income is from $15,- 900 to $20,000 year and she wanted alimony. The court finds that the allegations of the cross complaint are not proven and therefore the wife is not entitled to alimeny.
 Nothing is decided regarding the custody of the little daughter, Fran ces. It is expected that the parties will have a conference and come to some agreement regarding the GUS tody of the daughter.
 The courts memorandum is as fol- lows:
 s@Fhe court finds that the allega= tions, in paragraphs one, four, six and seVeH of the complaint are proven and that the plaintiff is entitled to a decree of divorce. The court finds that the allegations of the cross oom- plalnt are not proven.
 "A decree will be formally entered when the question of the custody of the child is determined. The court trusts the parties will be able to agree as to the terms of the decree relating to the custody of the child"
 Ferguson is the son of Walter Fer guson, who is reported to have made SEQ, COG 0G0 in the coke industry in Pennsylvania. The, elder Ferguson has a fine country place at Stamford and also has a big estate on Fishers g Island
 Young Ferguson is interested in a motor works in Stamford, Mrs. Fer- Philadelphia family.

He declared Mrs. Ferguson frequently went on long trips in the. woods with Graham and that she took the guide to New York where she bought him costly presents. Some of the presents were gold garter hlekles, gold suspen- der buckles, ringS silk pajamas and silk shirts
 Mrs. Ferguson admitted that she took an interest in the guide but de- nied any Wrengdoing. She said F'ergu- son neglected her and that he paid too Tor of Pennsylvania. Nothing against Miss Taylor's reputation was said, however. The Fergusons were married April 22. 1895.

BANKERS ENDORSE
 AI,DRIGH'S PLANNED
 CURRENCY SYSTEM
fCOnt;nued from Page 1.) ALDRICH EXPLAINS.

In his address on the present mone- tary situation, Former Senator Ald- rich said; to be an association organized for the purpose of distinctive functions and local self government. The fea- lures of the plan of organization are:
 "First-To maintain integrity and independence of existing banks state and national. The new organization will in no sense be a competitor of existing banks, It is to be outside of and superimposed upon existing
 sfseeondLEauality of privilege for all banks
 s'Third-Eauality in rates of dis count or rediscaunt to all banks, these rates to be uniform throughout the country.
 s.Fourth-O to be of a vent control by local or national pc litieal influence.
 "Fifth-Every means possible will be taken to prevent organization con- tfal by any corporation Or committee of corporations, individual or individ- uals in Wall street or elsewhere for selfish Or sinister purposes.
 .sSixth-The dominating principle is co-operation and not centralization."
 stThe central banks of Europe" said the Senator, twill not serve in the United States. The way to remedy the defect and cure existing evil is to first insure an adequate reserve, pre- paredness to respond to any demand without undue expansion or imitation.
 sSecond-To provide for concentra- tion Of the cash reserves of all the banks to be used for the assistance and support of any, under assured decentralization of control. Scattered reserves having been found useless in times of pressure, deposit balances in the reserve association are to be counted as legal reserves:
 ''Third-To authorize the assoeia- tion of rediscount through it's district branches under local control, commer- cial paper of definite character for ishing their reserves.
 "Fourth-To give to individual banks the facilities for an increase of their reserves and loaning power
 "Fifth-To grant the power for fur ther notes to this cooperative system of all the banks, an authority which is now vested in national banks scat tered throughout the country and by requiring the association to forward its notes to any subscribing member immediately upon application and without charge for transportation. Prompt redemption of all notes is re- quired at the several branches of the association.
 "Sixth-To give authority to the re- serve association to fix rates for re- discounts.
 "Seventh-To give the association power to protect its own reserve and thus enable it to sustain credit of communities and country.'

be guilty of misdemeanor, provided
that the city council, by resolution,
suspend the operation of the preced-
ing provisions of this section, in whole
or in part, on the 4th day OF July, or
any other day of public rejoicing"
The punishment for misdemeanor
is anywhere between 81 and 500 and
costs and there may be Imprisonment.
Just what is to be done about the
Fourth does not seem to have been full
ly decided upon, but the department
wants it understood that the rule is to
be enforced as to the other days of
July and as to June Youngsters who
have fire crackers will be very wise if
they keep them hidden away until the
morning of the Fourth, and if they do
not heed this good advice they are
very sure to get into trouble because
the department is not going to have
fires and is not going to have people
injured just because boys and young
men are disinclined to obey the law
AS in some other instances, perhaps
bit of hickory juice would be better
than an arrest, but the law says moth
! ing about tanning the cubs hides, and
so they will be brought in and their
parents will be soaked for the fines.
