PLAN TO Unity BANKS
SYSTEM OFFERED BY ALDRIcH
FORMED BY INSTITUTIONS.
Would Be Principal Fiscal Agent %
Government New Financial Houses
to Receive Savings.

Washington.-Senat N. w. AID
rich's plan for the revision Of the
national banking legislation" as he
calls it, was given publicity Tuesday.
1t does not contemplate the estab-
lishment of a central bank and it is
so far from what many have expected
Mr.. Aldrich to propose that to those
who have not been in his confidence
it may come as a surprise.
The plan was submitted to the ma
tional monetary commission, but Sem
ator Aldrich was not present His
communication was presented to the
commission by the vice-chairman,
Representative Vreeland of New York.
Far from recommending the estab-
lishment of central bank. Mr.. Aid
rich expressly disclaims belief in it
as calculated to meet the needs Of
the situation. In his letter Of trans
initial he says:
while we have found much that is
admirable in the operation Of the var1-
Gus government banks of Europe,
none of them is applicable to our
needs here. The good results which
they obtain can, I believe, be reached
without the creation of such central
bank. / feel that the plan which is
proposed reaches those results with
out being open to the objections
which may well be brought against
such an institution"
What Mr.. Aldrich does propose is
the establishment of the Reserve AS
ISOLATION of America" representing
what might be called federation Of
local associations formed by national
banks. The plan in brief follows:
Local organizations of representa-
tives of banks, formed by not fewer
than ten banks, each bank holding
stock in the association in proposition
to its capital.
Directors elected by these to the
board of branch" associations, one
branch for each of Is financial dis
tricts into which the United States
would be divided. Each branch"
board would include certain proper
ton of men not bankers, but repre-
senting industrial, agricultural, COM
mercial and other interests.
The association would be the prin'
cipal fiscal agent and depository Of
the government md would fix from
time to time the rate of exchange or
discount Eventually it's notes would
replace those of the national banks.
Prime commercial paper, passing up
from the banks through the local as.
sociations and branches, as well :s
bonds of the government, could be
used as basis for currency issue.

ACQUITTED OF JURY BRIBlNG
Attorney Erbstein, Who Defended Lee
O'Neil Browne, Is Found mot
Guilty" of Charge.

Chicago.-Attorney Charles E. Erb.
stein was acquitted of the charge
OF having bribed a juror in his
efforts to prove Lee O'Neil Browne.
former minority leader of the legisla-
ture, not guilty of purchasing votes
for the election of William Lorimer to
the United States senate.
The close Of the Erbstein case brings
to an end one of the angles growing
out of charges Of legislative corrup-
tian. Charges of jury bribing began
to appear before the first trial of
Browne was fairly started, and during
the second trial. when Erbstein was
chief counsel. the grand jury made
daily Investigations Of new charges.
Shortly after the close Of the trial in
which Browne was acquitted, Grant
McCutchen, one Of the Browne Jurors.
told that he sold his vote to Erbstein
through friend.

HEREDITARY PAUPERISM.

A very careful investigation has
been recently made in England with
view to determining by scientific in
quiry how far pauperism might be
dealt with as a transmissible and
hereditary evil The investigation
goes to show that pauperism tends to
recur in successive generations of the
same family, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t is propagated in large de-
gree by free unions among unmarried
persons of moral feebleness and con-
sequent illegitimacy, as shown by
backward examination of pedigree.
Paupers appear to prefer pauper al
dances. The resulting inbreeding
tends to the perpetuation of degen-
crates. Much, of course, may be due
to environment as consequence of
herding paupers together in poor
houses or warehouses; provided at the
public expense, but If heredity be a
reproducing through succeeding gen
erations definite pauper stock, with
native incapacity to live in any
other way except as social parasites,
the laws should be shaped SO far as
possible to bring about a means Of
prevention. There should be sex sep
aration in so far as such rule could
be enforced by state authority. We
take great pains to secure the propa-
ganda of healthy and superior breeds
of domestic animals. There seems to
be no sound reason for a failure to
protect ourselves as far as we may
against the deterioration of the hui
man stock.

TO AID HUMANKIND
ANDREW CARNEGIE GIVES $1o,-
100000 TO WASHINGTON RE-
SEARCH INSTITUTE.
GIFTS TOTAL s25,ooo,ooo
Donor Announces That Through the
Institution 10000 Worlds Have
Been Discovered and New Process
for Making of Cement Found.

New York-The donation of an ad-
ditional endowment of $10,000,OOO to
the Carnegie institution of Washing
ton by Andrew Carnegie, the founder,
was announced Friday.
This latest contribution brings the
total of Mr. Carnegie's gifts to the
institution to $25,000,000, and will en-
able it's directors to broaden greatly
the scope of the work done under the
general guidance and with the cooper
alton of the institute.
Coupled with the formal announce
ment was a declaration by Mr.. Car
negie that the work of the institution
had cleared from blame the captain
of a British ship who ran his vessel
upon the rocks, by proving that the
British admiralty charts by which the
captain was guided we're two or three
degrees astray.
The discovery of $4,000 new worlds
by Professor Hale at the observatory
on Mount Wilson, Cal, also was an
nounced. The observatory was estab-
1ished by the institution, and its
operations and discoveries afford Mr..
Carnegie more delight, perhaps, than
any other workings of the institution.
Mr.. Carnegie also announced that a
far more powerful telescope than man
ton for the Mount Wilson observa-
tory With it he hopes to make pos
sible the discovery of still more celes-
tia1 bodies.
The new telescope will have lens
of 100 inches diameter. Mr.. Carnegie
declares that "the whole world is go
ing to listen to the oracle on the top
of Mount Wilson, and in a few years
we shall know more about the uni
verse than Calico and Copernicus
ever dreamed of. I hope I shall live
long enough to hear the revelations
that are to come from Professor Hale
on Mount Wilson"
Mr.. Carnegie further declared that
the institute soon will be ready to
show formula for the making of
portland cement.
"It has found the ingredients neces-
sary by analysis" he said, land that
invaluable material can be produced
in any part of the world, wherever
the elements are found. Hitherto, as
1 understand it, cement could only be
made from certain comparatively rare
deposits"
It was nearly ten years ago-in
19o2-that the institute was founded
by Mr.. Carnegie. At that time he
gave the board of trustees fund of
$10,0O0,000 returning an annual in
come of five per cent. Five years
later he added 100000 to the en-
dowment of the institution, which was
incorporated in 1904

An interesting experiment is to be
tried by the Swedish railways admin
istration of running third-class sleep
ing cars. The first of the cars will
be run between Stockholm and NAL
moe, says the London Globe. At each
end of the saloon are dressing tables,
etc, with hot and cold water. There
will be nine compartments, seven OF
these will have six beds. BY day each
compartment furnishes eight sitting
places. The other compartments are
for four persons by day and three by
night. These are reserved for ladies.
The cost of this sleeping accommo-
dation will be only IS. above the or
binary ticket If the experiment is
we'll received the plan will be extend
ed. The experiment is not new, for
we believe third-class sleeping cars
have been run on the State railways
in Finland for at least twenty years.

SUMMON 1926 IN VOTE PROBE
DANVILLE GRAND JURY SENDS
OUT sUBPoENAEs.
Slonina of Official Documents Causes
scurryina for Legal Advice-Judse
May Be Hit.

Danville, Il-One Hundred and
twenty-five subpoenaes for Vermil-
ion county politicians We're 1ssued
by the vote-fraud grand jury directly
after six of the wealthiest bankers OF
Danville had appeared before the in
quisitorial body.
1t was the initial broadside in the
county's fight to purify the ballot and
the bare rumor that the jury fore
man, Isaac Woodward, was signing
the official documents spread deepest
CONSERVATION. When the wholesale
subpoena rumor was verified there
was wild scurry1ng for attorneys and
legal advice on the part of many.
The subpoenaes issned followed a
long day of grand jury session at
which six of Danville's wealthiest
bankers told the story of the downfall
of Former County Treasurer Hardy
H. Whitlock through extravagant vote
buying. E. x. Leseure, son-fn-law of
Joseph G. Cannon, president Of the
Danville National bank, was given the
longest gruelling before the grand
jury.
1t develops that Isaac Woodward,
foreman of the grand jury, has con-
suited several attorneys with refer
ence to indicting buyers and sellers
Of votes for criminal conspiracy, and
it is predicted that real sensation is
in store for those who have expected
merely a perfunctory arraignment and
the assessment of nominal fines
aginst Offenders
Under the law covering vote selling
the seller cannot be prosecuted after
the expiration of Is months, but, &C.
cording to the opinions of various law
yers consulted by Mr.. Woodward, he
can go back three years under the
criminal conspiracy act The law
states that when a candidate is cleo
ted by fraud there has been criminal
conspiracy and the grand jury will
endeavor to bring indictments under
the law, it is said.
If the grand jury goes back three
years it will be compelled to investi-
gate the election of Mayor Plat, Judge
Kimbrough, who charged the grand
jury in the vote-selling inquiry,
States Attorney Lewman, who is con-
Quoting the investigation, and numer-
GUS other officials who have been
elected during the last three years.
