HOW EVIDENCE
WAS DESTROYED
WITNESS TOLD OF DESTROYING
PAPERS CONCERNING JACK
son WIRE POOL.
EVIDENCE IS SENSATIONAL
Told of How Efforts We're Made to
Conceal Who Ordered the Tcst-
mOny Dcstr ycd.

NEW YORK, May S.-Destruction Of
evidence used before the grand jury
in the famous jackson wire pool
cases by officials of the American
Steel company was the principal sub
ject of the testimony today in the
hearing of the governments dissolu-
ton suit against the steel corporation
before Commissioner Henry p. Brown
Its greatest purpose, according to
Judge Dickson, special counsel In the
case, is to determine whether the pa
pers We're destroyed before or after
the filing of the pending suit on Oc-
Der %, last.
The testimony today was given by
Harry A. Whitney until recently sal
es agent at the Worcester, Mass,
works of the American Steel and wire
company, who asserted that he per-
sonally but the evidence in
trunk full of minutes and othe rec
ords, of one of the pools of the wire
correspondent is alleged to have par
ticipated. Whitney said he had re-
ceived instructions to destroy the evil
dence from Frank Backs, vice pres
ident of the company but when Judge
Dickinson pressed him to give the
exact date upon which he received
the order his memory failed him.
Told Of n Conversation.
Whitney created a sensation when
he told of an alleged conversation
that occurred between himself
Backs, and George w. Cragin..
Whitneys superior in the company
just before being called to testify in
the grand jury investigation last jan
uary into the destruction Of the pa
pers.
Whitney was reluctant, apparent
ly, to repeat the alleged conversa-
ton but finally was pinned down to
saying Cragin had said he (Cragin)
had testified that he had given the
orders himself and that Cragin
"wanted me to avoid saying Backs
gave me in instructions If ! could"
Baacgs had been subpoenaed as a
witness.

New York, June l1--Theodore

will appear In the current issue OF

THE contest for the Republican

for the issue Ia simply whether or
not we shall permit system OF nak-

II have made this contest on two
great principles FIRST the right Of
the people to rule, and therefore In
the exercise OF their deliberate iudg-
ment to control their Government
and their governmental agents. and.
second their duty so as TO rule as to
bring about not only political but So

our people would vigorously oppose
a system which would be the means
of centralizing banking power by
chains of centrally owned banks,
stretching across the country. The
opposition to great central bank.
like the Bank of England. is even
stronger to branch; although, again
it is not to be denied that central
banks have proved signally effective
in unfolding the credit of the natl rs
of Europe. We have now before
the country proposal for a cooper
alive banking system--free from the
features of branch banking and CEN
trail banking Objectionable to Amer
lean democratic ideals--the head Of
which is to be cooperative associ-
alton owned by all the banks of the
country. The thousands of smaller
banks throughout the country are
asking, What benefit will we and
our COMMITTEES derive from national
reserve association" This question
is answered in pamphlet published
by the National Citizens League.
Among the advantages against. cited
are: Insurance against money panics
like that of 1907. Lower interest
rates in sections of the country away
from financial centers. Narrower
fluctuations in interest rates. The
attraction of investment capital from
the highly developed sections to the
newer. growing sections needing
foreign capital. The financing of
the yearly movement of the crops at
less cost and with less disturbance
to the money market. More indie
pendence for smaller banks. Econ
omy in the use of cash in the daily
business of the country. Assurance
that sound bank will always be able
to take care of the legitimate needs
of its customers. The promotion of
sound banking practices.

Banking Reform

The bulwark of our American
banking system is the independent
bank, owned and managed by trust
ed men of affairs in the community
it serves. Every bank is an integral
part of the business life of its COM
munity. Any proposal for banking
reform which did not preserve this
independence would be repugnant to
our American banking traditions.
While we recognize the great service
performed in Canada and other coun-
tries by the branch banking system

FOR THOSE INTERESTED IT
"THE MONEY QUESTION,

My Dear Sir: I would like to
inquire through the columns of your
paper, how many of your readers
are interested in studying the money
question, that would like to have a
copy of Spaulding's Financial His
tory of the Legal Tender paper
money issued during the war of the
rebellion? The people generally
have been taught that Congress has
no right to issue legal tender
paper money. This is disproved in
this work. For more than 80 years
the people have been taxed to pay
interest on untaxed United States
government bonds, having had it
beat into them that the government
had to issue the bonds in order to
borrow money to carry On the war.
This is proven to be false, in plain
English, in this history. It also
shows the sham and falsity Of the
'Specie Basis" Any one desiring
q copy, will write me, will inform
them how it is possible to get and
own copy, either paper cover Or
cloth-bound.

Warrenton and hope they will do
enough for me.
Your exposition Of Catholic mean
ness should meet the hearty approval
of all Christians. Just why preach
ers Of all denominations don't 'open
up" on the Catholics and so expose
their practice until the whole world
would know the evils and damnable
heresies they teach, can't see.

He is my kind for the people.
Do you imagine Hitchcock rec

slider this a step toward government
ownership Of public utilities.
With reference to our congress-

favorite with many on account of

not wonder at his position in that
