GOVERNORS REASONS.
Executive Tells Why He Refused 70
Interfere in Bsatde Case. Gets
Many Letters.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 18.-Protest
against the action OF Governor Mann. K
tbe Beattie case are pouring into th!
executives Office from al over tht
| country. In discussing his decision
Governor Mann said yesterday after
noon:
81 have uoshing to regret. / fee
that took the right course and more:
over I believe tbstin the long run what
| I did will prove the best for the prison:
er's old father. Oue noticeable thing
about the case was this: was asked
for nothing more than communication
or 3O.day respite. This waz practi-
cslly confession OF guilt. As for the
respite. / reasoned thus: Beattie ia
guilty and be knows he ia guilty, and
With this information before him he
has had ample time to prepare himself
for the hereafter. He has not i'm
pressed me favorably in any war. His
whole attitude indicates hardness. He
has shown absolutely no feeling for bis
little child.
The governors information is that
the father OF the condemned man is
still firm in his belief Of his sons iDno-
cence and sexplains the present situa-
ton by calling it a preordained thing
over which be has no control.
The governor has perused number
OF crank" letters relative to his de-
cision in the case. Among the letters
are several in which the parties confess
the crime.
Judge ]. M. Gregory, Common
wealth's attorney, and Attorney Louis
10. Wendenburg both expressed the
opinion that Paul D. Beattie will not
be arrested for perjury as a result OF
the recent afidavits alleged to have
been made by him in Washington.
An unsigned letter, undated and not
Indicating where written, but post
marked Amarillo. Tex. November IA,
at 9 q. M, addressed to Sheriff, Rich
mond, Va, was received this morning,
in which the writer says be is hasten-
ing to Europe; that be killed Mrs.
Beattie and intended killing Henry,
and urged that Henry not be electro
cuted. for Il am thei man, not
Beattie. Truth, Truth, Truth"
The father-faithful while there was
the slightest prospect, even OF 8 re-
prieye-has done away with all his in
terest in Virginia and will 60 elsewhere.
He will take Hazel, the convicted
Youths sister, with him. The brother,
Douglas, will have the big tobacco
company which employs him transfer
him to another city. The day after

was unnecessary. After an hours
discussion, substitute was presented
BY Rev. James Cannon, as follows:
Whereas, dancing is contrary to

the traditions and the teachings OF
our church, resolved, that We urge

les and traditions OF this subject. !"

ference should not pass a special reso-
luton covering dancing, and allowing

ments to 90 by untouched and finally

WASHINGTON. d. G.. Jan, n

WAsEllhNGiT'OiN, d. c., Jan. e.
Senator Aldrich's long awaited plan
for revision of national banking leg.
islatIon" as he himself calls it was
made public today.
1t does not contemplate the estab.
lishment of central bank. The plan
was submitted today to the National
Monetary Commission at a meeting
called for that purpose.
Far from recommending the insti-
tuition of a central bank. Aldrich ex-
pressly disclaims any belief in 1t as
calculated to meet the needs OF the
situation. What Aldrich does propose
lis the establishment of reserve as
tsociation OF America" representing
what might be called a federation OF
local associations formed by national
banks.
The plan provides for local organi-
cations of representatives of banks
formed by not less than ten banks
each, each bank holding stock in the
association in proportion to Its cap
ital. Directors are to he elected by
these to board Of u branch" asso-
citation and TO be one branch os each
of fifteen financial districts into which
he United States would be divided.
The branches in turn would elect 10
the reserve association forty-iivc di-
rectors. amonk whom must be a pro-
portion of men representing indus
trial, agricultural. commercial and
other interests.
The association TO be the principal
fiscal agent OF the government, would
fix from time 10 time the rate Of ex-
change or discounts and eventually
Its notes would replace those of ma
tional banks.
A system of mutual support by
which the association members would
meet currency emergencies is detailed
at length.
Aldrich was not present at the
meeting of the commission owing to
illness. He rendered the plan as
tentative" and as a subject for dis
cussicn and criticism.
II is proposed to charter the Re-
serve Association Of America with an
authorized capital of 100000, 900,
The length of the charter is to he fifty
years. The head office Of the associ-
alton is to he in Washington, d. c.

own BANKER
A DEP0SITOR
MUST Be NOW
According to Rules in Effect
for the Postal Saw
ings Banks.
POINT is RAISED
In Reference to What a
Rural Mail Carrier
Can Do.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16-
Grafton. the West Virginia city Sc,
iected for the establishment of the
test postal savings baak, has brough:
up a question for the postoffice de.
partment to solve which will prove
of interest in all the postal savings
bank communities.
Under the newly prepared regula-
tions of the postal savings system
III is required that depositors shall
endorse their deposit slips. Grafton
has raised the question as to whether
rural carriers, who are permitted to
accept money from persons on their
routes and buy money orders for
them at the postoftice, can also &C.
cept money from persons on theh
routes for deposit in the postal saw,
ings banks, taking the deposit slips
to them on the next trip for the.,
endorsement.
The question has been raised in a
somewhat different form in other
communities, where It is desired
that one man of number who are
working together me4 distance
from a postal savings baak- may be
permitted to take deposits to the
bank for all of them and deposit II
in their respective names.
Under present regulations this can
mot be done, nor can the rural car
rler act as banker for the people on
his route. As at present ENLARGED
the rules require the depositor to APP
pear in person with his deposit and
to sign his deposit slip in the pres.
ence of the postmaster. The entire
regulations of the new system are
on trial and in all probability, as
changes are required they will be
made. If it should seem advisable
to the postal savings bank board t.
modify the rules so that carrier OF
another person may deposit for 9th.
ers, the regulations may be amended
so as to provide for this. But at the
present time it cannot be done.
