PRODUCE AS COLLATERAL

In discussing the proposition for the
issue OF currency upon warehouse re-.
ceipts of various kinds, which some
members Of the House Of Representa-
tives are insisting upon. the Philadcl-
phia Record suggested this objection:
But suppose a farmer got an advance
of $500 on one thousand bushels of
wheat and wheat fell to seventy cents
a bushol, or that there was no market
for it at the maturity Of the paper,
what would there be behind the ware
house reccipt?'
That is certainly fair, pertinent
and practical question. But the Pitts
burg Dispatch undertakes to meet il
in behalf Of the plea for the issue Of
currency on warehouse RECEIPTS by
saving: ''True. and if a grain dealer
got the same advance from a bank on
an elevator receipt or railway bill OF
lading for the same amount of wheat,
what difference would there be in his
security Of the circulation based on
that bank assct?'
Inc answer Is lndL inc cases are en-
tircly different II currency were is.
sued on the warehouse receipt, there
would be no possibility of getting
more margin from the owner OF that re
ceipt TO further secure the currency.
But II dealer got an advance from a
bank on an elevator receipt or railway
bill Of lading. the bank could promptly
call upon him for more margin when
the point Of insecurity was approach
ing. In the one caso the government
would practically have TO take over
the rrain at loss 10 itself and market
II in the best way IL could and stand
the loss. In the other case, the bank
would make sure that If the collateral
already held were not sufficient pro
lection. more would be demanded, and
II not provided the grain would be sold
out before any loss accrued.
But the mere discussion OF ques.
| tiou like this shows the improperly OF
government attempting TO issue cur
rcncy on such a basis "a warehouse

other products.

REPUBLICANS TO
DELAY The VOTE?
Make 1t Plain They Will Fight
Tariff Bill if Currency
Law Is Pressed.

Washington, d. c., July 30.-Repub-
lican senators made it clear yester-
day that they would hamper considera-
tion of the tariff bill if the president
and democratic leaders of congress in
sisted on the enactment of currency
legislation at this session.
Discussion on this point arose when
Senator Gallinger sought information
as to the intent of the democrats.
Senator Simmons said he hoped the
republicans were not making threats
purposely to delay passage of the tar
III. which all business interests want
ed settled speedily. Republican sena-
tors replied that it was bound to
follow that there would be no haste
with the tariff unless an early ad-
journment should be the inducement
therefor.
Senator Lodge said it was most I'M
wise to demand action on such i'm
portant legislation as the currency OF
a "tired-out congress"
Progressive republicans disclaimed
any intention unnecessarily to delay
voting on the tariff.

Costly Gems Taken From
Mrs. Hanan at Mar
ragansett.
SUPPRESS THE FACTS
Follows Close on SIS, 1000 Loss
by Rumseys at Narra- ssi
i ;, gansett Pier.

Narragansett Pier, R. l., July 80
Jewelry worth at least S150,000 was
stolen from Shore Acres, the summer
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Hanan,
Friday night The $4,000 robbery
in the home of c. c. Rumsey, son-in-
law of the late E. H. Hartman, oc-
CURED Saturday night.
DENIED TILL TODAY.
Reports that the Hanans had been
robbed were denied until today when
Mrs. Hanan told the story of the
loss. Mr.. Hanan is seriously i'll, and
has been kept in ignorance of the rob-
berry. Unwillingness to disturb him
influenced the wife to withhold the
facts until this time.
The articles taken included a dia-
mond necklace, pearl necklace, two dia-
mond-encrusted watches, pendant,
brooch and a pair of rare black dia-
mond earrings, surrounded with white
diamonds.
LEFT OTHER VALUABLEs.
A peculiar feature Of the robbery
was that some particularly valuable
gems were left in the bureau drawer
from which the others were removed.
They could hardly have been over
looked, and this suggests the job
was a hurried one.
Mrs. Hanan seldom wears jewels,
and would not ordinarily have had
them at Shore Acres. They were
brought over from New York at the
time she expected to give her annual
reception to Governor and Mrs. Pot
thier. The illness of Hanan made 1t
necessary to cancel the function.
AWAY AT RECEPTION.
The jewelry was taken from Mrs.
Hanan's boudoir few moments after
she left the house to attend a recep-
ton. The loss was discovered with
in 80 minutes.
SERVANTS NOT SUSPECTED.
Mrs. Hanan said that her % serv.
ants had been eliminated In the in
vestigation. 1t is believed here the
same gang of thieves who operates
successfully here two years ago, are
again at work. Some time ago Mrs.
: Walter Ives had $4,000 pearl neck
lace stolen.
The Hanan's are leaders OF the
summer colony. Shore Acres is re-
garded the show place of the pier.
Mrs. Hanan controls the Casino and is
financially interested in one of the
leading hotels.

GIVES POWER co.
AN INDUCEMENT
Government Grants a Permit
Which Takes Rates Into
Consideration.

Washington, D. c., July 30.-A new
policy in the granting of water power
permits was inaugurated when author
ity for development OF an electric pro-
ject with an ultimate capacity of $780,
600 horsepower on the Pend d'Oreille
river, Washington, was granted to the
International Power and Manufacture
ing company.
The grant may run perpetually, and
can be revoked only for violations of
its terms or the provisions of the gen.
eral regulations.
The lower the rate charged the con.
suming public, the lower the rate col.
lected by the government, and to pro.
tect the public further a maximum
charge of cents per kilowatt hour
was fixed.
To allow the United States to com.
pete with Sweden, Norway and other
countries in the manufacture of nj
trates for fertilizing purposes, the
company will have to pay only about
20 per cent of the regular rate fol-
the power it uses in such manufacture
1t was announced that the interior
and agricultural departments in agree
ment on the power permit question
as the result of a recent conference
between Secretaries Lane and Hous
ton had three objects in view in adopt
ing the new form of permit.
The first and most important was to
control the price of water power to
the consumer by charging the devel
opment company less in proportion as
it charged the public less, and by fix
ing a maximum charge.
The second was to secure full de
velopment of the power available
through low rates on water used for
certain purposes. and by decreasing
rates with the amount of power de
veloped
The third object the government de
sired was fair compensation, and this
the officials say they have secured.
The company must begin work with
in one year, and within three years
must have at least $4,000 horse power
developed. Part of the intended con
struction is in the Kaniksu nationa
forest, in northeastern Washington
Spokane is the nearest city.

senators have been keenly looking for

The committee was disposed to let
the ambassador tell his story in his
own way and for more than two hours

rative of his personal observations of
the stirring events in Mexico begin

strictive recognition of the Huerta
government, but members of the com.
mittee took no action. Details of his

ent democrats on the house banking
committee.
Chairman Glass, however declares
the committee has its hands full con-
sidering the administration currency
bill, and does not propose to be d.
verted. He and other members of
the committee, however, make it plain
that they share the secretary's opinion
as to the reasons for the depression.

"The secretary of the treasury should
be summoned before the committee on
banking and currency instanter and
reveal the facts to the American peo-
pie as their agent" said Henry's state
ment, "aad the head of every great
bank in New York should be sent for
at the earliest possible moment, placed
upon the stand before the committee

that the American people may know
the exact facts about this controversy.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, a
republican member of the senate COM
mittee on banking and currency, in a
statement yesterday, attacked Secre-
tary McAdoo for the charge the banks
had depressed the price of per cent
bonds and demanded that he make
public the information on which he
based the charge.

New York, July 30--Directors of the

semi-annual diridend OF "a per cent
This is reduction of pe- cent Id the
annual rate, which has been per
cent since 1906.
In expectation of the reduction, Illi-
nois Central broke three points before
the announcement of the dividend, and
Immediately afterward, declined four
more to 107, the lowest since 1899,
when it sold at 1861.
The reason for the reduction, accord
ing to a statement by the directors,
were the unusual conditions of the last
two years, not only those affecting
general business, but those bearing
especially hard on this company. The
previous semiannual payment was at
per cent rate, so that the total
dividend for the year amounts to per
