New York. Sept. 16.--A secret
John Doe investigation OF circum-
stances surrounding the arrest satur-
day night OF "Gyp the Blood" and
Lefty Luie," two OF the four gun
men who are alleged to have slain
Herman Rosenthal. the gambler. was
begun today before Justice Goff. The
purpose OF the investigation, ac-
cording to Acting District Attorney
Moss. Is to determine whether the
police suppressed or destroyed any
evidence. principally letters implicat-
Ing the two In the murder. and when
and how the clues to their where
abouts were obtained.

against the defendants was put over
until Wednesday.

had been discovered. Mr.. Moss de-
clared tonight he purposed to have
the truth or falsity Of the report
legally established before the jus
ties.
Another matter which the pro.s-
cutor said was being investigated was
whether the police examined the two
gunmen and their wives at any time
before the arrival OF Mr.. Moss at po-
lice headquarters Saturday night. In
this connection the district attorney
has learned that contrary to the
story told by the police that they
burst into" the apartment. there
were no signs on the door OF the gun

Washington. Sept. 16.-Postmas,er
General Hitchcock today issued in
structions for carrying into effect the
new newspaper and periodical law,
first returns under which must be

The law required that publishers
shall file on the first days OF April

the postmaster general and with the
local postmaster, under penalty Of
denial OF the use of the mails, q sworn
statement of the names and addresses
OF the owner. publisher, editor, man

scientific publications are excepted.
For corporation. the names Of the

by the postoffice department." said
Postmaster General Hitchcock today.
1t will be administered faithfully

congress doubtless had in mind the
leading daily newspapers. but it will
AFFECT also nearly $4,000 weeklies.

I'm my judgment-and / so ex-
planned II TO the congress--the pro-
vision will be harmful. as ii will -e-
quire the continuous use Of valuable
space in the publications and, at the
same time. be resented as a censor
ship Of the press. One of the greatest
difficulties now encountered In the
enforcement Of the law relating to
the second class mail is that the post
Office department Is compelled by law
TO make inquiry into so many aspects
OF the private business Of publishers.
This gives rise TO the complaint -
ill-founded in NY opinion-that the
government interferes needlessly with
the privileges Of the press. My judg-
ment is that Il should be the constant
aim. not only of congress, but of the
postofficc department. TO lessen rhe
necessity for supervision of the public
press in the enactment and admins
tration of postal laws"

How the South May Finance Iself

Wv S"""'' wa! Iihdntc lscn.
(By Herbert Myrick. President of
Orang Judd Company
We must all take our hats off To
the farmers Of Germany. They GER
tainly know, not only how to farm
1t, but how TO run their interests in
politics and in cooperation. one
reason for the present economic de-
Nelopment and prosperity of GERMANY
lies in the fact that for more than 100
years agriculture there has had first
place in the minds of her statesmen
and in her governmental policies.
Hence no deserted farms, no slums in
her cities and almost a total cessa-
ton of the emigration which former
ly caused her statesmen so much con-
Germ.
Education in agriculture and other
sciences, also cooperation in buying
farm supplies and, to a less extent.
In marketing produce have made
great strides in Germany Of late years.
But the basis Of economic progress i'm
German agriculture is the successful
development of cooperative finance.
Probably One-third of all the farm
ers in the Fatherland are now mem
bers OF the cooperative savings and
loan banks which supply them with
money or credits, though many Of
such banks do the bulk of their busi-
ness with townspeople.
This cooperative finance is so fruit
full in benefit that these institutions
have increased prodigiously in num-
bers. accompanied by large growth in
other forms of associated effort. This
is shown by the number of co-opera-
tive concerns reported as members of
the national union at its meeting this
summer:

showing itself chiefly in excessive
land speculation and a possibly too
liberal issue of municipal invest

border New York will probably be
called upon for assistance. The last
report of the national banks in the
United States showed a satisfactory
condition of affairs. Loans were
stated at 1858. 900. 600 a reduction
Of $4.000.000 compared with the re-
port of September /. There was also
a reduction of $32, 100000 in cash

the case with the eastern banks. the
explanation possibly being found in
the complications of international

American money were loaned abroad

FIRST WEEK OF THE NEW YEAR SHOWED A
SLIGHT RETIREMENT IN STATE OF FINANCES

dous preponderance Of bond issues
over stocks is highly significant. 1t
means not only a large increase in
the fixed obligations for railroads and
industrial concerns, but also shows
the strong preference of investors for
bonds in order To escape the uncer-
tainty attending ownership of stocks.
Recently the new issues announced
have. been comparatively small. but
il is understood that important is
sues are still pending and awaiting
favorable conditions. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to observe that
some Of our financial institutions are
contemplating the issue Of notes and
mortgages bearing more liberal rates
Of interest than have previously bgcn
customary In other words, they are
willing To raise their bids for new
capital. Under present conditions il
would be better for our railroads To
issue short term notes than bonds.
Investors would take the notes more
readily than bonds and the roads
would avoid further piling up Of long

Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.--The first
week of the new year showed a slight
betterment in both financial and com.
mercial sentiment. The Improvement
was not so much observable in any
increase in the volume of business as
in the recognition of the fact that.
while conditions are conflicting and
in some respects unsatisfactory. cor
receive forces are steadily at work.
Here and there are signs of abate-
ment in general unrest which is be-
ginning to show itself in a more ra-
tional attitude in political circles to-
ward large corporations. The only
exception is a fresh outbreak of the
investigation mania in form of an
inquiry regarding the alleged money
trust" While trusts and the tariff
are still the first subjects Of i'm
Fortance in the pubic mind. the
chances of their being reasonably
dealt with are much better than three
or six months ago. No radical action
on trusts is probable during the pres
cnt session Of congress, which will be
chiefly devoted To active and possibly
somewhat heated discussion There is.
however, some prospect of positive
action on the tariff question. the
greatest likelihood being Il sharp cut
in the steel schedules and the plac
irg of iron ore on the free list As
for cotton and wool schedules these
also may be revised. but at the mo-
SfG
first The labor outlook is somewhat
uncertain. but the sorry disclosures

didates This, Of course, may remain
unsettled until the conventions next
summer, although it is not impossible
that the successful nominees will be
correctly guessed at in advance.
on the Stock Exchange there has
been a quiet and fairly hopeful feel
ing. The investment demand, how
ever. experienced in January has not
thus far made itself felt with the
usual freedom. Bonds are disappOint-
ingly dull. This may be explained by
the general feeling of caution among
investors and the unwillingness of
large buyers to take hold until con-
ditiOns become more settled. Another
factor is insistence by the holders of
capital for better returns. Low in
terest bearing mortgages and bonds
are slow to sell in spite of safety
