WATERS WAITING
 FOR MISSING COIN
Why the Advertised Cabaret Didn't Occur Per
 Schedule

Why there was no walters ball, or cabaret at Eagles hall last Tuesday night, though the event had been largely advertised is known about town by many members of the Geneva society, who mourn the loss of vari- ous sums varying from $1 to $5. All though several hundred gathered at the hall on the night of the advertised event, none could find the treasurer. Walters about the city today are ex- treme1y anxious to locate one Thomas Cunningham, a one time employe at tke Amazon, who is credited with or iginating the affair. He is not to be found about his usual haunts. It will take over $10o in tips before the grief of the walters is assuaged.

The Currency Bill.

There is strong and persistent de-
termination on the part OF the central
money power to defeat the currency re-
form bill proposed by the administra-
ton. The Vanderlip scheme lately pro-
posed, and which. it is said, is favored
by majority OF the Senate Banking
Committee that has the bill under con-
sideration, relinquishes the insistency
on private control OF the banking sys-
tenn first made by the New York bank
ers and those who opposed any marked
change in the present system, but it
insists on the plan OF one central bank
to which President Wilson and the
Democratic leaders in Congress will not
accede.
1t is doubtless flank movement Of
the money power introduced to bring
confusion and delay. It is meant to
defeat at ali hazards banking and cur
rency reform at the present special SEES
sion OF Congress with the hope OF effect
ing its final overthrow at the coming
regular session.
The statement from Congressman
Glass, the Chairman OF the House
Banking and Currency Committee, who
was sponsor for the bill in its passage
through the House of Representatives,
exposes the duplicity of Banker Van
derIip and the hidden purpose OF the
plan lately proposed bearing his name.
The scheme, Mr.. Glass says, is pro-
jected at the eleventh hour of congress
sional consideration with the end OF
indefinite postponement should the
scheme be given serious attention. "
Mr.. Glass then proceeds to contrast a
letter MIR. Vanderlip wrote him on July
"a with what the banker now proposes,
showing complete reversal in the prin-
ciple involved and says:
The conclusion that l reach from this
whole performance is that this newest
currency scheme prepared as | am told
by Mr.. vanderlip 10 conjunction with
Mr.. Davidson OF ]. p. Morgan a Co.
and Mr.. Strong, with Standard Oil con-
nection, is intended TO confuse the ques-
ton OF banking and currency reform;
or else il is hoped that, by the adop-
ton OF some such scheme of absolute
Capitalization it will be far easier here
after for certain gentlemen to get con-
troll Of it for certain purposes than would
be possible under the proposed regional
bank system
The Democratic platform adopted at
Baltimore expressly opposed the cen
trail bank idea and it is contrary to
Democratic teachings and traditions
from the days OF Andrew Jackson until
the present. The Democratic Senate
caucus should repudiate the central
bank idea and the united Democracy
in the Senate should use every possible
endeavcr to pass the administration bill

New Law Stops Shooting.

Hickman, KY, Oct. p. The new
Federal law, which has just gone into
effect, prohibiting the shooting OF any
kind. Of migratory birds on any of the
waters of the main stream, which in
cludes the Mississippi River from
Minneapolis to Memphis, until 1918,
will stop much of the duck shooting
sport on the river here. which has been
INDUCED in by hundreds every winter.
This, however, will not prohibit the
shooting of birds and duck on Reelfoot
Lake, but to do this they are required
to pay high license. As there are to
be about 200 men picked for wardens,
Willifred Pearson, OF near this city, is
circulating a petition in this vicinity
asking for the position Of game warden
for this territory.
