A NEW SYSTEM
In Business Methods of United States
Treasury Department.

Washington. Dec 30-Secretary Mac
Veagh. today, ordered a revolutionary
change in the business methods OF the
treasury department in handling the IN
come and expenditures of the federal
government which is expected to lessen
interference by the treasury. with the MS
cal operations of the country, make the
government deposits in United States de-
nositories more active and inure to the
benefit of the public by obviating the
payment of exchange on government
checks.
Effective Feb. 1, the accounts OF the
federal disbursing officers will be placed
with the treasurer of the United States
and all disbursing officers checks drawn
on that official may be eashed by any ma
tionaI bank designated as United states
depository. Banks making such payments
may Immediately replenish the specified
account from federal customs or internal
revenue receipts daily deposited. Ihe
banks thus will forward to the sub-treas-
uries only the excess of receipts over eX-
penditures If the expenditures are great
err than the receipts, the sub-treasuries
will supply the deficiency.
In this manner, it is explained, much
of the governments business will be
transacted without the actual use of
currency. 1t will be an extension of the
Clearing House principle to the govern
ment.

LAWS GREAT VICTORY
Shown in Dynamite Trial, Says At
torney General Wickersham.

Washington Dec. 30.-Attorney General
Wickersham, today, declared that in his
opinion, the federal court at Indianapolis,
had been extremely lenient in imposing
sentences on the labor officials convicted
in the dynamite conspiracy" This state
ment, the attorney general emphasized,
was made without intention to criticize
Judge Anderson. Mr.. WicKersham said
that in all probability he would send the
evidence collected a the Indianapolis trial
to the authorities of the states where the
offences were committed With view to
permitting those officials to try under
state laws any of the defendants they
might desire to prosecute in connection
with dynamitings which resulted in .he
loss of life or the destruction of property.
Such defendants, he added, could be tried
during the service of their prison terms,
and, If convicted, turned over to the
states for further punishment after the
expiration of the federal terms
The convictions at indianapolis, said tue
attorney general constituted one Of the
greatest accomplishments in the history
of the American courts. They proved.
he added, that officers and agents of no
organization, however powerful, whether
of capital, labor or idlers, could WELD
their influence to break the laws of the
country. The results of this trial and the

CLOSER SCRUTINY
OF Public Service Companies Is Urged
In Connecticut.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 30.-Enact-
ment of laws to bring about closer
scrutiny of corporations operating
as public service companies, to eff
fectively prohibit the merger or con-
solidation of such companies without

ment of a public service company in
any business more or less foreign to
the chartered purposes of the parent
company" is condemned, the commits
sion declaring: I'VE believe that the
net income and profits of any public
service company after the payment

used for the Improvement of the plant
and equipment of such company,
rather than in unwarranted expansion
or the acquisition, management and
control of business and property more
or less foreign to the chartered pur-
poses of the parent company"

PreSident=EleCt
Hears All Kinds
OF Propositions

Trenton, n. J., Dec. 30-PreSident-
elect Wilson manifested today, keen
interest in the possibility that the
present scant majority which the Dem
oerats are calculated to have in the
United States Senate might be COM
fortably increased when the Legisla-
lures of number of states convene,
next month.
Mr.. Wilson conferred during the day
al the state House here, with j. Ham
ilton Lewis of Illinois, choice of the
Democratic primaries in Illinois for
United States senator. and Senator
Luke Lee of Tennessee, on the sena-
toriai situation.
Mr. Lewis told Mr.. Wilson that there
was good chance of getting two Dem
ocratic senators from Illinois. inform
ing him that, while the newly elected
Progressives held the balance of pow
er, he thought there We're many pub
lie spirited enough among them to
support the Democratic choice on the
theory that the state of Illinois had by
a popular vote put itself on record for
Wilson administration. Mr.. Lewis
suggested TO the President-elec that 1t
might even "be openly understood that
patriotic men who would give him the
support of two senators would be re-
garded as worthy of proper reward and
recognition in the distribution of mi
nority patrons"
The President-elect remarked, to-
night, that he had absolutely no com
ment to make on this proposal.
That the Philippine situation is re-
ceiving prominent consideration by the
President elect in his proposition to
carry out the Democratic platform
pledges was indicated by his confer
ence, today, with Rep. William c. Red
field of Brooklyn. The Governor said
he had arranged to meet Mr.. Redfield
because the latter had been in the Phil
ippines and knew conditions there.
Senators Chamberlain of Oregon and
Williams of Mississippi in their talks
with the Governor, today. urged the
appointment to the cabinet of men
from their respective states.
Rep. ]. w. Slayden of Texas, ranking
member of the military affairs commit
tee of the House, came to Trenton, the
Governor said, to inform him about
the changes that the army re-orgam !
zation bill would entail.

Valuable Horse Is Severely
Injured by Train.
Unknown Man Has Narrow ES-
cape When Horse Runs Away.
The crescents Win from n. & W. In
Bowling Series by 81 Pins.

A large black horse. the property of
A. r. Hayes & Co., met with a serious
and possibly fatal injury, about 4
Monday afternoon, at the Randolph
bridge crossing of the Maine Central
Railroad. He was hauling a load of
coal and had crossed the bridge,
reaching the track when a freight
train backed upon him. There was no
time to go ahead and it was impossible
to back. as the planking was bare.
The car hit the horse. freeing him
from the sled and throwing him
against the fencing. The horse kept
his feet and walked along in the mar
row space between the train and the
fence fer over 400 feet, crossing the
bridge over the mouth of Cobbossee
stream. When the bridge over the
road way to Harrington's coal wharf
was reached, he was forced over and
dropped fully % feet to the road be-
low. He got upon his feet and was led
to the stable A veterinary was called
to attend the animal. He found cuts
on both TANKS, one being seven inches
deep and about is inches in length,
and other severe decorations. Some of
the muscles We're also severed. 1t was
impossible to ascertain whether in
ternal injuries were received or not.
that recovery seems impossible. The
horse was a beautiful specimen, val
ued by thee owner at $500.
