WILL ENDEAVOR TO EFFECT
PLANS FOR THE REFORM OF
THE CURRENCY.
WORK NOT PARTISAN
OPINIONS OF PUBLIC GENERALLY
AND OF FINANcIERs PART.c-
ULARLY TO BE SOUGHT.

Neutrality-suspicious. for the reform
OF the currency will be prosecuted
with vigor by members Of the Nation
al Monetary commission this summer.
A campaign of education will be
started in behalf of bill which prob
ably will be introduced to both
branches OF Congress in December.
Thus far the work OF the commits
sion has not been regarded as politi-
cal, and especial care will be taken
to avoid the introduction of partisan
views in the campaign. A majority
OF the members who have been work
ing on proposed legislation are not
now members of Congress. and most
OF them are regarded as out of poll
tics. This is particularly true of the
chairman. former Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island. who is expected to de-
vote much time to the work in the
coming year.
Beginning with the hearing to be
granted the currency commission by
the American Bankers Association
March 22nd. the commission members
will be actively engaged in obtaining
views of the public. 1t is not con-
tempIated there will be many hearings
in Washington. but that several mem
beers OF the commission shall visit the
large cities TO ascertain the views OF
the public. The most extensive tour
will be made by Mr.. Aldrich, the
author of the bill. which is expected
TO form the basis of any legislation at
tempted. With one or two other men,
bers. he probably will visit the South
and West.
General approval seems to have
been given to the Aldrich bill by the
public. Bankers seem to regard 1t as
in the nature OF a Equalization OF the
clearing mouse methods employed in
time of panic. These methods for the
most part have proven efficacious.
Members OF the commission are by
no means committed to the Aldrich
bill. II was brought out by Mr.. Aid
rich chiefly to give the country some
thing tangible to work upon.
The views of the bankers are being
sought, and. until they are received.
II is not likely that individual mem.
beers Of the commission will put them
selves on record.
Many useful suggestions are eS-
pected from the currency committee OF
the American Bankers Association.
and. through the ideals thus advanced.
the commission expects to avoid many
vicissitudes which the proposed legis.
lation otherwise would encounter in
Congress.

Union Pacific Gets Rio orande.

Denver.-From New York comes
the authoritative statement that the
Denver & Rio Grande system would
change management Immediately a
new president is found for the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. The interests
which secured control Of the Missouri
Pacific also got control Of the Rio
Grande road and the new head of the
former will have general supervision
OF the latter. President E. T. Jeffrey
of the Rio Grande road said to a New
York Herald reporter: Missouri Pa
cific owns 40 per cent of the Rio
Grande's stock and has done SO for
some time and this in itself would be
sufficient to merit a change in the one
road as well as in the other" But, the
significant fact in the matter is that
the new ownership of the Rio Grande
system is the same as that which owns
and controls the Union Pacific sys-
TEN. The Union Pacific financiers are
the powers behind the new ownership
of the Rio Grande. Western Pacific
and Missouri Pacific roads.

LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts Mat

The record for fasting. SO far as
humanity is concerned. is held by
Granie, a French murderer. who de-
termined to starve himself to death.
and from the day Of his arrest refused
to eat. In spite of every effort on the
part of his warders. who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell. and
when that failed. attempted feeding
him by force. he held out for 60 days.
Mt the end OF which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni Succi. who tasted at the
Royal Aquarium. London. for As days.
But these records sink into insignifi-

James Vananzo, a workman en-

down and robbed OF about $38 near

number Of young men of this city ac-
cordins to a story told ON Monday

The report is that vananzo was play
Ing pool with several young men
shortly before going home and, on be-
ing defeated at the game, took a con-
siderable amount of money from his
pocket and selected the necessary
change. 1t is alleged that the money
was seen by those with whom he had
been playing and that they offered him
drink of whisky which he accepted.
Whether or not the whisky was drug
ged is not known but it is further
alleged that his companions accom-
panied him to the viaduct where they
attacked him and relieved him OF his
money, amounting to about $SS. The
victim of the hold-up said that he
knew the men who had relieved him
OF the money and that he would take
action against them.

NEAR MT. VERNON
The Robbers We're Probably Seen BY
Mr.. Charles Clark

Men, thought to be the ones con-
nected with the Amity robbery, we're
seen between Mt. Vernon and Freder-
icktown near the hour of o'clock by
Mr.. Charles Clark, who was driving
along the road towards the city at that
time. The men were evidently hav-
ing trouble with their horse at the
time when they were seen.
Mr.. Clark stated that he saw some
men in the road working with a gray
horse which had fallen and seemed un-
able TO rise. After having driven
past he alighted from his buggy and
started back with the intention of
rendering them any possible assist
ance. He said that he was greeted
with curses and ordered to keep mov-
ing because his services were not
desired. This Mr.. Clark did and saw
nothing more of the men. He dis
tinctly saw the horses head. The
description of the horse and OF the
men tallies very well with that Of the
men who blew the safe at Amity.
