RUMORS OF INCREASE IN
FOUNDED
Another official of the Panama
Pacit& Exposition company eDi-
rectd@ Perry of the bureau of
exploitation) said that rumors
OF threatened extortions are
being widely circulated through
out the east. I know of no justi-
fication for such rumors other
than thoughtless statements made
by persons in authority. Mr..
Perry should favor the hotelmen
with the facts upon which he
based his assertions in order that
they may investigate and quiet
such unfounded rumors
San Francisco has never been
accused by strangers of having
exorbitant hotel rates. 1t is prob
ably the only city that has not
been SO charged. 1t is unfortu-
nate that one of it's citizens and
an official of the great Pan
ama<Pacifie Exposition company
should make such a groundless
charge, which will only do injury
to the city and exposition without
accomplishing Any good.
RIGHT RATES ASSURED
The rates charged by all the
leading hotels will be reason
able. Their past regulations as
sure this. Sound business judg-
ment dictates such policy. Per-
manent hotels must arrange to
take care of their usual business.
It would be practically impossible
for them to reserve 100 or 200
or more rooms for convention
delegates. The INSIDE inn' sup
plies this want.
All the permanent hotels expect
to continue in business after the
exposition. Then the competition
will be keenest. The treatment
of their guests during the ex-
position period will probably de-
termine the measure of their
business when the exposition is
over. The public is assured the
rates will be reasonable and will
be fixed as soon as the conditions
upon which they depend are made
known.

fective Feb. 1.

Washington, Dec. ~31.-Secretary
MacVeagh has ordered a revolutionary
change in the business methods of the
treasury department in handling the
income and expenditures of the fed
eral government, which is expected to
lessen interference by the treasury
with the fiscal operations of the coun-
try, make the government deposits in
United States repositories more active
and insure to the benefit of the public
by ~obviating the payment of exchange
on government checks.
Effective Feb. 1, the accounts of the
federal disbursing officers will be
placed with the treasurer of the Unit
ed States and all disbursing officers
checks drawn on that official may be
cashed by any national bank desig-
mated as a United States depository.
Banks making such payments may be
Immediately ~replenished in the speci-
fled account from federal customs or
internal revenue receipts daily depos-
tied. The banks thus will forward to
the subtreasuries only the excess of
receipts over expenditures. If the eX-
penditures are greater than the re-
ceipts the s~ubtreasuries will supply
the deficiency.
