MORE EXPERT ADVICE
ON CURRENCY SYSTEM

Washington, Jan. S.-More expert
advice on how to remodel the none
tary system of the United States to
provide an elastic currency and
strong, centralized reserve was heard
today by the glass committee of the
house. The principal witnesses called
were Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secre-
tary of the treasurer, and Prof. j.
l.. Mclaughlin of Chicago.
Questions asked by the Democrat
ic members of the committee seem
to indicate that the committee favors
the establishment of system of di-
visional reserve banks, operated UNI
der close government supervision as
a substitute for the national monet
airy commissions proposed central

COMMITTEE TAKES UP
SCHEDULE 90"

Washington, Jan. S.-The second
lap of the tariff revision hearings be-
fore the house ways and means COM
mittee was reached today when the
committee took up schedule b
earths, earthenware and glassware.
There is no Democratic bill serv.
ing as a basis for this schedule as
in the case of the chemical schedule
and the arguments today were aimed
directly at any changes in the pres
ent earthen and glassware schedule
of the Payne-Aldrich law.
The schedule reopened allegations
of so called glass trust. II has
been represented to the committee
that the American production of
plate glass is about 10000 900 square
feet annually, produced by only 12
manufacturers.
Advocates of tariff reduction con-
tend the duties could be cut one-half
without injuring the American manu-.
facturer.

for retaining the tariff of So and 90

Victor Morawetz, director Of the

of regional reserve banks to which
the power Of issuing currency should
be limited. He told the committee
that a banking system under which
the United States had prospered so
wonderfully could not be wholly bad
and urged caution in changing bank
ing and currency laws.
Paul Warburg of the banking firm

The state of mind both of the Tur-

Comptroller of Currency Refuses 10
Answer BY Taft's
Order

Washington, Jan. S.-Affairs OF
the national banks, particularly their
loans and securities for loans, were
before the house money trust com
mittee for investigation today. The
committee has endeayOred in vain to
secure information on the subject
through the Office Of the comptroller
OF the currency. President Taft, act,
ing on the opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, declined to direct
the comptroller to furnish such in
formation.
Comptroller Lawrence o. Murray
was the principal witness today.
samuel Untormyer, counsel for the
oommiItee, said that without the in
- nation which he desired to Sc
cure through the comptroler's office
it would be impossible to conclude
the investigation.
With the present comptroller in
position where he will not supply
the information, the committee con-
templates asking the new congress
which will convene March to auth
orize a continuation Of the investiga-
ton through the special session.
Then the committee plans to 20 to
the new administration and ask the
comptroller to furnish the desired in
formation.
The committee expects to place on
the stand tomorrow George W. Bak-

York, who, according to Mr.. Inter

URGES ECONOMY
and EFFICIENCY
President TAFT Asks Appropriation Of
$3.50 600 For Continuance Of In
vestigation Of Commission

Washington, Jan. s.-Congress was
asked to appropriate $4,000 for con-
tinuing the investigation Of the COM
mission on economy and efficiency in
to the executive departments of the
government in a special message to-
day by the president.
The president points out that there
is no greater service that can be
rendered to the country than that of
continuance of the work of the COM
mission until some form Of organiza-
ton is provided for continuously do
ing this kind of work under the ex-
ecutive.
The president expresses the opin-
ion that the technique and procedure
of every branch and Office of the
government should be submitted to
the painstaking examination as that
given those on which reports have
been made. To do this, however,
President Taft says that ample funds
must be provided that he asks that
Congress make the s250000 approp-
ration by March for the incoming
president.
Important Facts
In my opinion" says the presi-
dent, this is not a matter in which
the Congress should assume that
public money will be unwisely spent.
At a total cost Of about $2SO,OOO dur
ing the 81 months covered by the
work Of the commission, facts have
been developed and recommendations
have been made that followed up will
result in savings of millions of dol
lars each year.
"This has been under the handi-
cap Of uncertainty Of continuation
which interfered with the making OF
plans which could not be complete
ly executed within few months. 1t
would be very much to the advan-
tage Of the administration Of the
president were authorized to spend
whatever amount he may deem to
be necessary within the next two
years, the only condition attached
being that he render an account OF
expenditures.
Referring to the fact that 1t has
not been possible for the commission
to make final detailed reports on
more than few of the hundreds of
offices in Washington, the president
SAYS the reports submitted will serve
TO illustrate the character OF results
which may follow an extensive inves-
tigation of office technique and proc
edure.
Offices Reported On
1T is further to be noted con
tinues the president, that the Of
fees which have been reported on
are those which have been frequcr
" under scrutiny. From what Is
known of the offices outside Of Wash
ington, It is thought that 1t is in
this field that the largest opportunit-
les for economy will be found.
':As illustrating the relative impor-
tance OF service outside of Washing
ton, IL is of interest to note that the

Negligence Called MansIaughter.

The case of Stehr vs. State before
the Supreme Court of Nebraska, in
volved the sentence of father for
from one to ten years in the penitenti-
ary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken windowpane, and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for 16 days,
when amputation was found to be nee
essary and the child died of blood pois
oning The defendant was convicted
of manslaughter for criminal negli-
gence in failing to provide medical
care after he discovered the frozen
condition of the child's feet, In af-
firming the conviction the court held
that for parent having special charge
of an infant child culpably to neglect
it so that death ensues as conse-
qence is manslaughter, although death
or grievous bodily harm was not in
tended and if the parent has not the
means for the chlid's nurture it is his
duty to apply to the public authorities

risen ABOVE the horizon, but the gray
dawn gave misty revealment of the
sluggish-fowing river, the brown slope
opposite, and the darker shadow of
bluffs beyond. The popping of those
distant guns had ceased by the time
they attained heir new position, and
they could distinguish the Indians
mere black dots against the brown
slope-advancing in a semicircle to-
ward the silent stage. Evidently they
were. puzzled, fearful Of some trickery,
for occasionally a gun would crack
viciously, the brown smoke plainly
visible, the advancing savages halting
to observe the effect. Then a bright
colored blanket was waved aloft as
though in signal, and the entire body,
converging toward the deserted coach,
leaped forward with wild yell, which
echoed family across the water.
The girl hid her face in the sand,
with half-stifed sob, but the Ser
geant watched grimly, his eyes barely
above the ridge. What would they do
when they discovered the dead bodies?
when they realized that others had
eluded their vigilance during the
night? Would they be able to trace
them, or would his ruse succeed? OF
course their savage cunning would
track them as far as the river-there
was no way in which he could have
successfully concealed the trail made
down the gully, or the marks left on
the sandy bank. But would they imag-
inc he had dared to cross the broad
stream, burdened with the girl, con-
fronting almost certain death in the
quicksand? Would they not believe
rather that he had waded along the
waters edge headed west, hoping thus
to escape to the bluffs, where some
hiding g-place might be found? Even If
they suspected crossing, would any
warriors among them be reckless
enough to follow? Would they not be
more apt to believe that both fugitives
had been sucked down into the treach-
erous stream? Almost breathless Ham
lin watched, these thoughts coursing
through his mind, realizing the dead
ly trap in which they were caught, If
the Indians suspected the truth and
essayed the passage. Behind them
was sand, ridge after ridge, as far as
the eye could discern, and every step
they took in fight would leave its
plain trail. And now the test was at
hand.
He saw them crowd ABOUT the coach,
leaping and yelling with fury; watched
them jerk open the door, and drag
forth the two dead bodies, dancing
about them, like so many demons,
brandishing their guns. A moment
they were punched thus, their wild
yelling shrill with triumph; then some
among them broke away, bending low
as they circled in against the bluff.
They knew already that there had
been others in the stage, others who
had escaped. They were seeking the
trail. Suddenly one Strengthened up

dancing furiously. Then they also, in
response to shout and the wave of a
blanketed arm, scattered, running
west toward the gully. There was no
hesitancy now; some savage instinct
seemed to tell them where the fugi-
tives had gone. They dragged the dead
warrior from the ditch, screaming saw
agely at the discovery. A dozen
scrambled for the river bank, others
ran for the pony herd, while one or
