SECRETARY OF TREASURY N.ADOO
ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN
GOVERNMENT POLICY

WASHINGTON, April 3o.-Secretary
OF the Treasury MeAdoo today an
nounced change In policy, which will
result IN the immediate transfer of
100000 of the treasury cash to the
banks of the country. and probably
further deposits from the treasury's
cash balance in the future.
The secretary has decided that be-
ginning on June LIST this year all
government depositaries active as we'll
as inactive, will be required to pay in
rate or two per cent per annum on
average monthly balances This in
terest is to be credited semi ANNUALLY
on January LIST and July LIST of each
year. Al present only the so-called in
active depositaries are paying interest
on government money.
The. secretary's action led to some
speculation tonight as to the possibility
Of Its being in part move by the
wilson administration to help safe
guard the country against any possible
money stringency that might follow
the agitation over the passage of the
tariff bill.
There has been considerable criticism
IN congress the last few months of the
practice which the government has fol-
lowed OF maintaining large deposits in
national banks without any interest
charges. Representative Cox, of
indiana: as chairman Of the house
treasury department made an in
vesugation at the last session Of con-
gress. and reported that the federal
government had lost many millions of
dollars through failure to charge in
terest on its deposits
secretary McAdoo estimates that ap-
proximately 100000 annual income
Will be added to the government Golfers
as the result of his action.
the secretary proposes to give all
national banks Offering satisfactory
security an equal opportunity to OBJ
tain the deposits and he hopes to have
the $l0.oo0.000 scattered generally over
the country.

SUFFERS PRIMARY
BILL IS DEFEATED
HUGE MAJORITY AGAINST 1T,
But GOVERNOR is STILL
UNDISMAYED.

ALBANY. April 3o.--Governor Sui
zer's statewide direct nominations bill,
which abolishes party State conven-
tons. was defeated in the State senate
today, when 1t came up for final pas
sage, by vote of to AZ. Every one
of the fifty senators voted.
After the bill was defeated the mi
nority leader. Senator Elon r. Brown,
wanted to resnscitate it and pass ii
after eliminating the provision abol-
ishing party State conventions. but
his motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was lost was defeated
by vote of IS to- IT.
The present plan is for the assem-
bly, to kill the governors direct pri-
mary bill tomorrow or Friday.
There never was such a spectacle
as Democratic senate caucusing
against the most solemn pledge in
the Democratic platform. The gov
ernor isn't saying much, he Is saving
wood" Governor Sulzer made this
comment today after he had learned
of the vote of the senate on his di-
rect primary bill And even in the
face of defeat he was optimistic and
declared openly that he would recall
the legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion. Asked just when he would call
back the legislature. the governor
said: When the people tell me to-"
Governor Sulzer is more hopeful
for the bill in the assembly. He said
many assemblymen were coming TO
the executive chamber eager to get
on the direct primary band wagon.
He believes that upon the assurance
he has received he is justified in hop
ing that the opposition will be unab BILE
to defeat the measure in the assembly.

GERMANY N ARMS.
CAUSES SENSATION.
GROWN PRINCE NOT AUTHOR.
But WRITES INTRODUCTION
AND STANDS SPONSOR.

BERLIN. April a0.--The\ book
Germany in Arms" of which Il was
reported Crown Prince Frederick
William was the author, appeared
today. The crown prince, however
although he planned the book. con-
tributes only the Introduction, but
this is likely to afford sufficient
sensation. 1t crystallizes German
militarism, which 1t represents as a
historic necessity. The writer OF the
preface admits that diplomacy can
prevent one. but he insists that the
sword will always be the finai srsu-
ment, and II is necessary for the
Germans to be always ready for the
use of this argument,
Germany, the writer OF the preface
says. is treated in step motherlv
fashion by the rest of Europe, be-
cause of her geographical position
She Is set in the center of Europe and
Is not regarded affectionately by all
the other nations.
She has, continues the crown
prince. more than other nations of
our old earth the sacred duty of
maintaining an army and navy stead
lily at the greatest possible pitch of
preparedness. 1t is only by thus re-
lying on our good steel that we can
maintain the place in the sun which
is our. just due, but which others do
not willingly concede to u.s."
Material comforts and luxuries,"
the crown prince argues. Ought to
be something superfluous which we
fling into corner the moment the
emperor summons us, and we must
have a hand free for the sword"
"Old ideals and even the prestige
and honor of the nation may thus
suffer. for peace at any price is re-
CURED for the undisturbed earning Of
money"
