WANTS MONEY PUT IN BANKS.
Representative Levy Would Direct
Treasury to Deposit Fifty Millions

In a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Levy of New York in the
House of Representatives today the
House is asked to enact legislation which
will direct the Secretary of the Treasury
to deposit $JO.OO0.OOO in the national banks
throughout the country. Representative
Levy draws a contrast between the money
market, which he declares is in a most
stringent state. and the general pros
perity of the country.
The resolution states that the Treasury
Of the United States has been absorbing
the money Of the people by taxation to
the extent of almost $500. 100000 for the
present year, as compared with $275 0OO,-
600 for last year. Representative Levy
states that there is $50, 100000 on hand
in the Treasury in the form Of q sur
plus He also says that the prosperity
of the country, the enormous crops and
the general activity in all branches OF
trade have caused a demand for money
throughout the country.
Secretary MacVeagh does not believe
that there is any emergency in the money
markets of the country calling for his
making deposits with national banks. The
Secretary says he does not propose to
encourage speculation by making deposits
but stands ready to place government
surplus money with the banks If business
conditions demand such action. .,

BOSTON, December 3.-Fourteen Mas
sachusetts cities are holding their an
nual election today. Two of the cities,
Brockton and Pittsfield, have four-cor-
nered contests for the office of chief eX-
ecutive and in New Bedford, Waltham,
Springfield. Marlboro and Quincy there
We're three candidates each. In several
cities the progressives have mayoralty
candidates in the field and in Waltham
there is complete progressive ticket.
School board contests and the annual
fight on the question of licensing the
sale of intoxicating liquors furnished the
chief features of most of the elections.
Many women announced their intention
of voting for school committee, and in
some of the cities the number of eligible
woman voters ran into the thousands.
Eleven of the fourteen cities voting to-
day are in the license column and in
many instances strenuous efforts were
being made to swing them to no license.

SENATE MAY HOLD UP
TAFT APPOINTMENTS
Democrats Say Many Nomi-
nations Were NeedIesSIy
Delayed.

movement was begun today among
democratic members of the Senate to
prevent the confirmation of many of
President Taft's final appointments.
Action followed the sending in of nearly
200 recess nominations from the White
House. and the democratic forces were
headed by Senator Gore, who had the
active support of several of his demo-
cratic colleagues.
The campaign is directed especially
against nominations which it is claimed
have been postponed from time to time,
thus bringing the new terms unneces-
sarily close to the beginning of the demo-
cratic administration.
Democratic senators claimed that the
President had deprived the democrats of
the privilege of appointing $4,000 post
masters by placing them within the civil
service law by single order.
Most of the democratic senators eX-
pressed themselves as favorable to D.
discriminating obstruction but several
progressive senators, whose assistance
had been counted on, did not appear en-
tirely willing to cooperate upon first
presentation of the matter, it is under

REPORT ON CITY HOSPITAL.
District Commissioners Offer Plan,
Though Opposing It.

Complying with the section Of the Dis
trict appropriation act which calls for
a report on a proposed municipal hos
pital for the District of Columbia, the
Commissioners told the Speaker of the
House, in a communication addressed to
him today, that if they are compelled to
they can make a municipal hospital out
of two wings of the old workhouse, but
that this plan is not at all to their liking.
The report says that the east and south
wings of the old wOrkhOuSe might be re-
modelled so as to accommodate fiftythree
beds. The cost is figured at $4,000 for
building and remodeing alone. These
facts and figures were presented to the
after an inspection made
by Municipal Architect Ashford, Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol, and
DR.. Louis Zinkham, superintendent of the
Washington Asylum and Jail.
The Commissioners say they have a
much better site for municipal hos
pital.
The concluding paragraph Of the re-
port says:
1T is only fair to say that with the
Limitation necessarily imposed no ar
chftect can repodel the old building
into a suitable structure such as could
be designed and built for hospital pur-
poses
