Thaw Spends Restless Night.
Thaw appeared to have spent rest
less night. His hair was disheveled,
his collar awry and his eyes staring,
His breakfast, laid out on table for
him, bad not been touched.
He said again that he hoped soon to
be able to give an account of his es.

his case.
The inside" motive for the imml
grafton authorities causing the
Thompson case to be postponed lies
In the fact that the charge on which
hs Is held Is punishable only with a

him with conspiracy, is not regarded
as sufficient basis for extradition. TIC

OPPOSE
CURRENCY BILL
Meeting At Chicago Largely Attended
To Suggest Ammend-
s.S ments
RECOMMEND CERTAIN CHANGES
Four Fundamental Features Of The
Administration Measure Are
Not Satisfactory

Chicago, Aug. 23.-More than 200
bankers, delegates from clearing house
and banking associations, assembled
here to voice their objections to- GER
tain sections of the Glass-Owen cur
rency bill now before congress and
make suggestions for law which
they hope will bring about an improve
ment in the banking system of the
country. d.,
The conference was called by the
currency commission of the American
Bankers association. Its purpose, as
explained by Frederick E.. Farnsworth
OF New York, secretary of the organ
ization, is to aid the administration III
efecting good currency legislation.
There are four fundamental fea-
lures of the bill to which the bankers
Of the country are almost unanimously
opposed" said Mr.. Farnsworth. "They
are the government control provision
for the reserve feature, the portion re-
ferrfng to note issue by the govern
mont and the stipulation for the. re-
funding of the 2 per cent bonds. The
ideas Of the association bankers on
these sections are we'll known and it
Is probable that their action will take
the form of resolutions protesting
against the Objectionable features and
suggesting amendments.
Declares Bankers to Blame.
Vice President Fenton of the Ma
tfonal Bank of the Republic, Chicago,
asserted that the bankers are almost
entirely responsible for the currency
legislation now pending. He said that
for many years It has been considered
the fashionable thing for leading bank
ers to condemn the present bank sys-

II think we should consider the bill
topic by topic, or section by section,
In the spirit Of helpful. cooperation,
and see If we cannot aid the govern
ment to accomplish wise and whole
some legislation that will place our
industries and our people on par
with other great commercial nations ..
This pledge of cooperation by A.
Barton Hepburn, in his speech as
chairman, was an evidence of the at
htude the bankers are to maintain In
their consideration Of the pending cur.
rency measure.
Mr.. Hepburn gave high praise" to
the administration for it's earnestness
In taking up the subject. He conf
mended many features of the bill, but
did not hesitate to indicate that there
were others which in his opinion need.

Open Spaces In Cities.

social and economic reform England
has developed number of other vir-

is an appreciation Of the value of open

landmarks. Every few months an ar

other influential newspaper acquaint-
ing people with the danger that threat
ems some historical or long cherished
spot. and usually the money necessary
to save the property has been forth
