MONEY REFORM
AND CANAL TOLLS
IN TAFT MESSAGE
President Sends Another of His
Promised Series to
Congress.
ADOPTION
OF RURAL PARCELS POST
Wants Navy Enlistment In
creased and Contribut0ry
Pension for Employees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-President
Taft sent another of his promised Sc
Nries of messages to Congress today.
This time he dealt with currency re-
form. Panama canal tolls and various
governmental questions.
On the subject of currency reform
ing report to Congress of the monetary
commission, President Taft said 1t wal
exceedingly fortunate that, 'the wise
and undisputed policy of maintaining
unchanged the main features of our
banking system rendered it impossible
To introduce a central bank" He gave
his approval to the proposed national
reserve association. As to the manage
ment of this associa ton, the President
said this vas mainly bankers work
and the banks could be trusted better
than anybody else TO conduct it. How
ever, he urged that some form of gov
efamcnt supervision and ultimate con-
trJl should prevail, and that the cur
ren"y reform should not be made a
political issue.
To Protect Banks Individuality.
'.Ahd L trust also that the new leg
i~siation will carefully and completely
protect and assure the individuality
ana the Independence of each bank, to
the end that any tendency there may
ever be toward a consolidation of the
money or Eanking power of the nation
shall be defeated" said the President.
The imniediate establishment of a
rural .larcel. post was urged. The
Pres Il, IL ) took the position that the
post Nou,d not destroy the business
OF the country store-keeper. Instead
of dong this he said, II think the
change will greatly increase business
for the benefit of all. The reduction
in the cost of living ii will bring about
ought to make it's coming certain"
On. the subject of the Panama canal
the President dealt at length with the
Question of whether American ship
ping should pay tolls.
Remit Canal Tolls TO Americans.
II am very confident that the United
States has the power to relieve from
the payment of tolls any part of our
shipping that Congress deems wise,''
said the President. I'VE own the
canal 1t. was our money that built it.
We have the right to charge tolls for
its use, These tolls must be the same
to everyone; but when we are dealing
with our own ships the practise of
many governments of substituting their
own merchant vessels is SO we'll estab-
lished in general that a subsidy equal
to the tolls, an equivalent remission
of tolls. cannot be held to be a dis
elimination in the use of the canal,

No Corruption shown More Clubbing
and Plain Clothes Men Wouid Be Useful.
gThe March Grand Jury, which has been
trying for the last two months to dis
cover whether citizens Of New York were
getting proper police protection and il
not why not. returned no indictments
yesterday. but offered a presentment to
Judge O'Sullivan in Part III. Of Gen
eral Sessions. 1t is said that there
were twenty-one Grand Jurors present
when the presentment was voted upon
and that the vote was close. The Grand
Jury was discharged
The presentment says that there ia a
great volume OF complaints OF burglaries,
larcenies and offences committed by hood
lums and gangs and that some parts OF
thu city are not receiving sufficient pro-
lection. The Grand Jury found difficulty
in comparing the present period with
former periods because Of the irregular
uncertain and misleading figures and
methods OF keeping them" used by the
Police Department. They found that
between February 81 and April 4. 1911
there were III complaints by citizens of
burglaries. which complaints were never
sent TO Headquarters.
The reports obtained from Police
Headquarters show that in the first
quarter Of 1911 property valued at
1922. .43l.2I was stolen, according to the
statements of its owners. of which s2io-
407 81 worth was recovered. In the year
1910 the total valuation of stolen property
was So. 284.7 73s. OF which s837 .240 worth
was recovered. Complaints of burglaries
in the last quarter of 1910 were ?.I%o
hrst quarter of 1911. 3.4is
The presentment, states that in some
psrte OF the city there is a "deplorable
amount and an apparent increase in the
violation of the law by hoodlums and
boys. They often;operate in gangs anc
are not restrained by the police" II alsc

ing information relative 20 fees paid

to DR.. Jacob H. Hollander OF Baltimore.
who Was sent by President Roosevelt
to the island republic TO adjust its fscsl
affairs. was disclosed to-day by Hun
tington Wilson. Assistant Secretary OF
State. who appeared a. q witness before
the House Committee on Expenditures
in the State Department. This 10 the
Democratic committee that Ia investigat-
ing the an Fairs Of the State Department
Secretary Wilson was a reluctant
witness and he did not tell the Demo-
cratic Investigators all they wanted TO
know. He told enough. however. to
excite the curiosity OF the committeeman.
and Secretary Wilson may be asked to
appear again.
II wss brought out to-day that Dr.
Hollander was paid for his services BY
both Governments. He received in the
aggregate about $4,000. OF this amount
about S%O.O0O. IL ie estimated. was paid
by the United States. The remainder
which was given to DR.. Hollander partly
in cash and partly in bonds. came from
the Government Of santo Domingo.
DR.. Hollander was selected by Preei-
dent Roosevelt for the mission to Santo
Domingo He was sent there to straig hten
out the financial system Of the black re-
public. Santo Domingo had been in the
throes OF a revolution and was pressed
by foreign creditors for debts.
An American oficcr was placed in
charge OF her custom houses and took
charge Of ~ collections. II was then
that Dr.. Hol ,der appeared. He put the
republic on i,s feet and order was restored

not made known at the time. Secretary
Wilson told moro about tho transaction
to-day than was ever known before by
anybody not identified with il. Accord
Ing to Mr.. Wilson. DR.. Hollsnder's service
with the United States overlapped his
service in behalf Of Santo Domingo.
In his testimony and likewise in a letter
on the subject filed by him with the COM
mittee Mr. Wilson said At the time the
United States paid DR.. HoI1ander 10 was
not kno~n that he had received or was to
receive compensation from Santo Do
mingo. On the other hand. according to
Official communication from that Gov
ernment, Santo Domingo was not advised
that the Baltimore man was to be COM

States.

progress when Mr.. Root left the State
