new TREASURY PLAN.
United States Funds Will Be Kept in
Circulation Now.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The United
United treasury today revolutionized
its business system and placed the
ordinary fiscal transactions of the
federal government on a modern basis.
The change, it is declared, will prevent
in large measure the temporary tying
up in the vaults of the SubtreaSurieS
of a large amount of money available
for circulation without increasing the
deposits of the government in the
banks.
Beginning today the daily govern
ment receipts from customs internal
revenue and other sources will be
placed with the national bank de-
positories to the credit of the treasurer
of the United States. All checks of
government diSburSing officers will be
drawn on the treasurer and will be
payable at any subtreasury or nation
al bank depositary in any part of the
country. A national depositary paying
one of these checks may imm ediately
reimburse it's specified government ac-
count from daily receipts of customs
or internal revenue deposited with it
and forward to the nearest Substreas-
ury only the remainder of the re-
ceipts. This extends the clearing
house principle to the governm ent
business system.
of checks for customs duties or in
ternal revenue taxes have been for

ball. He knew that he could not hon
orably take part in amateur athletics
after having played season or two of
professional baseball He knew when
he went to Stockholm as an American
representative in the Olympic games
that if his professionalism should be
discovered the revelation would bring
humiliation to his native land Know
ing all these things he went right on,
protesting constantly that he was an
amateur. 1t may be doubted whether
the expressions of sympathy will be
heard very long.
Whether Thorpe is to be condemned
for his course or not, there can be
no question but that the Amateur Ath-
which has lately been heaped upon it.
Had the A. A. U. followed the course
of duty it would have looked into
Thorpe's record before he went to
Stockholm. Also it would take some
action with regard to the scores and
scores of professionals who are play
ing as amateurs in all the colleges of
the land. The term amateur when
applied to athletics is getting to be a
