HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Alkmaar, Holland, Has Many In
tereSting Features.
Quaint Dutch City of 10000 10 Typical
Of the country-Seene Of Resist
ance to Spanish Siege
Of 1879.

Alkmaar, Holland.-The town itself
is one that must abide in the memory
of everyone who sees it for the first
time. It's most important church is
the Groote Kerk of st. Lawrence,
which contains among other things
the ancient tomb of Floris ", Count
of Holland, who died in 1895. The tow
er of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
1t contains library and a municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house after all, remains to us the
most interesting of the buildings In
the town. Not least of its charms is
the prospect from the top. From 1t
our artist was able to secure a very
striking picture Of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical OF
Holland. First of all there is the
canal, the national waterway winding
sluggishly through the town and divid-
ing it in two. There are the canal
boats, the wagons Of this aqueous
highway, placidly pursuing their jour
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most Of all there
are the Dutch houses, or rather the
characteristic roofs of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town is just of the right size to
be brought within this focus. It num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants, the ma
Jor1ty Of whom are connected directly
or indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
1t appeals to the historian as the
scene of a splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege in 1573-the period Of
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings, to which we have al
ready made allusion, carry us back to
that sixteenth century, which was ia
nous there as in England for the
artistic beauty and sense of proper
ton brought to bear upon the work of
building. Houses Of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
in Holland.
The Dutch cheese trade is an old in
dustry in one way, but its great de-
velopment is modern in character. Till
only comparatively recent. period the
dairy herds in this country were neg
lected. The only requirement ap-
piled to the COW was that she should
give a very large quantity Of milk. 1t
was of such inferior character as to
become almost a proverbial express
sion for thinness, But recent minis
ters of agriculture have changed all
that. They have brought science to
bear on the industry with ever-increas-

DEPORTATION

sherbrooke, Quebec, Sept S.-Harry
Thaw today lost his fight to defy de-
portation by remaining in the sher-
brooke Jail. Judge Hutchinson this
afternoon sustained a writ Of habeas
corpus calling for his release.
Thaw remained dazed for possibly
three minutes. The crowd began to
leave the judges chamber in silence.
Thaw followed aimlessly
AS he crossed the threshold e.
Blake Robertson, assistant superln-
tendent of immigration, tapped him
on the shoulder and placed him offic-
tally under arrest as an undesirable
alien The crowd then surged from
the building and it was announced
that Thaw would be taken immediate
ly to Coaticook for hearing. Thaw's
lawyers seemed stunned. Special Of
ficers Of the immigration department
iostled them in the corridors.
'I'll see you in Coaticook, boys, 2
said Thaw, waving his hand to the re-
porters.
Counsel were on the alert today,
mindful Of the fact that Superior
rudse Hutchinson might at any time
hand down his decision on the habeas
corpus writ. arguments on which he
heard yesterday.
Although the court did not say de-
finitely when he would render judg-
ment there were those who believed
that he would announce his findings
today Athers thought it might be
Thursday or Friday.
The courts ruling will be rendered
in writing, and he agreed to summon
counsel to chambers in ample time for
its delivery If the writ is sustained
Thaw will be elected from the sher-
brooke jail and arrested by immigra-
ton officers for deportation.

CURRE ENCY SYSTEM
BANKERS SPEAK TO SENATE
COMMITTEE REGARDING
CURRENCY BILL

Washington, Sept 3-The kind OF
national paper currency the American
Bankers association would like es-
tablished in place of the United States
treasury notes proposed by the ad-
ministration currency bill was out
lined to the senate banking commit
tee today by bankers who declared
they did not favor asset currency or
notes secured by the general credit
of individual banks because Of the
danger of wildcat banking
1--WE believe the notes should be
issued by the fedeal reserve board
to the banks and IN them To the pub
lie and that all the federal reserve
banks shoula beAsrss sponsible for the
whole issue Of notes, said Sol WexIer
Of New Orleans, one of the spokes-
men Of the recent bankers conference
at Chicago.
Senator Reed, democrat declared
he was welded to no particular plan"
Throughout the hearing witnesses
were questioned with freedom, indi-
eating that the committee would take
up the administration bill with open
minds.
'The chief evils Of the present
banking system" Wexler said, were
the lack of flexible circulating me-
dium,' and the fact that banks have
mo place to go for re-d1scount when
we have exhausted our own credit fa-
cilities."
1--WE believe the reserves of the
country should be in one big reser-
voir, said he where they are read
lily accessible, rather than scattered
in 10000 Or more little piles where
they can be Of little benefit to the
country"
An increased issue OF government
bonds and an increase in the bond
secured national bank currency would
not meet the present needs Of cur
rency reform, Wexler thought.
The bankers association suggested
the advantages of a single central
bank, especially as to the fixing Of
rate Of discount for all parts of the
country. Mr. Wexler said however
that he did not believe the federal
reserve board, under the administra
ton bill, would arbitrarily try to fix
different discount rates Icr different
parts of the country
"The rate of discount would really
be fixed by conditions in the regional
reserve bank" he said, and the fed
eral reserve board simply would pro
mulgate that rate.
