One New Span Have to Be Built

Preliminary estimates on the work OF

is almost an impossible task, but tEey
believe there is chance 1t may ne

FOR ONE BIC BANK
Chairman of the National Con-
ference of Bankers
Calls Attention to Defects of
the Currency Bill.
THE REGIONAL RESERVE PLAN
Is Made the Especial Object of
Criticism.
Finds Many Good Points in the
Proposed Measure.
THE REGIONAL RESERVE PLAN

Chicago. Aug 22-The national
Conference of bankers and members
of the currency commission of the
American Bankers association open
ed here today with a Keynote adj
dress by A. Barton Hepburn as chair
man. 1t was heard by representative
bankers from all parts of the countrv.
He criticised features of the Owens
Glass currency bill and advocated a
central bank with branches instead of
regional reserve banks.
81 think we should consider the bill
section by section in the spirit of help
fu. cooperation and see if we cannot
aid the government to accomplish wise
and wholesome legislation that will
place our industries and our people
OF, a par with other great commercial
nations"
This pledge of cooperation by Mr..
Hepburn IN his speech as chairman
was an evidence of the attitude the
bankers are to maintain in their con-
s:deration of the pending currency
measures. Mr.. Hepburn gave high
praise to the administration for its
earnestness in taking up the subject.
He commended many features of the
bill There were others which in his
opinion needed revision.
His Chief Criticism.
The failure to fully develop the CEN
trail bank idea which he said was
recognized in principle and its conse-
quent effect on many of the provisions
of the bill, was the criticism of great
est emphasis.
The establishment of twelve banks
instead of one for the purpose of
bringing together the money reserves
OF the country had made it necessary
in order to make these reserves effec-
tive to provide a central board with
powers greater than would be neces-
sary for one central bank to possess
However, the recognition of the prin-
ciPIe, Mr.. Hepburn said, was reason to
re jOice. He asked:
why then should not the principle,
cnce recognized, be correctly applied?
Why should not the law create one
central bank which should have
branches wherever there is CONNER

shoot me right? I want to be buried
with him." she n-oaned continually, I'M
needing the tears of her mother and
sister at her bedside. They were hold
ing her hands Hhen she died.
1t came out that the motive for the
death pact which was agreed to at the

ing were unanimous in the opinion that
the big viaduct which is about 1,lOo
feet long, ought to be replaced with a
modern concrete structure. But that
will be impossible, inasmuch as the
cost attached to replacing the present
structure would reach about $1,000
Some day. however. it is urged tina :
the structure will have to be replaced
through some arrangement.
The cost of present repairs is not
known, and may not be known until
they have been made. 1t is estimated
they will run. on the single span, from
81, 900 to $500. If other spans have
to be worked over the expense may be
considerably greater.
A. NJ. Patten, assistant superintend-
ent of the Illinois Traction company,
declared this morning that in his judg-
ment the viaduct cannot be placed IN
condition for the fair, but he hopes it
may be. If not, the East Side almost
is cut off from Topeka. The last time
the viaduct had to be repaired it was
closed for nearly eighteen months.
Tandy and Young, however, and engi-
neers for the Topeka Bridge & Iron
company, who discussed the situation
this morning, believe if nothing hap
pens to interfere that the work can
be completed in two weeks
