OUTRAGE AND SHAME
Bail at $4,000 Is Declared Excess
siye-Another Warrant
Issued

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.-Leading
members OF the Philadelphia Bar asso-
citation announced today that at next
Mondays meeting OF that organiza-
ton, they will move TO have the cir.
cumstances surrounding the arrest OF
Marlen Z. Pew, editor OF the News
Post, probed. Pew was jailed as the
result OF his publication OF the con-
,fession OF j. Alexander Boyd that he
had been bribed by Magistrate James
Carey, to return a verdict favorable
to the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company, In q damage suit brought
against IL.
Because Pew was taken from his
bed after midnight on a warrant is
) sued at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, and
taken than more than half way across
the city TO be locked up and heavy
bail fixed, resulting In his remaining
In the cell for more than nine hours,
the members OF the bar association
have determined to find out why the
service of the warrant was delayed.
Pew having been tipped OF that the
warrant was issued, waited in his
office until o'clock for the con-
stables. They did not show up and
Pew went home. The arrest followed
ak hours later.
The bar association members fav-
orable to the probe will also inquire
why bail was fixed at $4,000. Such
sum. they say, has seldom been de-
manded, even from men accused OF q
heinous offense. They pointed out to-
day that in the case of Henry Clay,
former director OF public safety, con.
WINGED last Saturday of conspiring 10
defraud the city OF 100000, bail was
fixed at only $4,000, one thousand less
than In Pew's case.
Discussing the arrest, Roland G.
Norris, one OF the best-known lawyers
In the city, and intimate friend OF
Presidentelect Wilson. today said:
The methods OF Mr. Pew's arrests
must be carefully investigated and the
whole story behind 1t developed by
the good citizens OF Philadelphia.
They are only too familiar"
Henry j. Nelson, another we'll
known lawyer, said:
''The arrest was an outrage and
shame"
Another warrant for Pew's arrest
was issued yesterday and he was TO
have been arrested again last night.
Pew, however, refused TO remain at
home, and sent word that he would be

there Is no unusual demand through
out the country for money, as is the
case during the crop moving period.
IL believe the people are entitled
to know Who II is that Is responsible
for the plan, and why II was put out
at this time.
Congress should investigate the
matter, and bring out the facts.
ION the face of the treasury order,
there is no specific provision that the
banks shall give security for the de-
pcsits, and no provision that they
shall pay any interest"
The funds affected by the order,
were held in the sub-treasuries pre-
vious to Feb. 1, when the order went
Into effect AS the government ac-
cepts only gold in payment for duties.
the entire sum involved Is gold.
Spreckles pointed out that II the
banks made use OF the money, they
would have to use 1t In such a way as
to have 1t subject to call on notice
from the government. For this
reason, he said, the money would
find It's way through the usual chan
nels into Wall-st., to be loaned out
at call. Therefore, Spreckles said, In
the event of the millions being sud
denly recalled. the demand would go
directly into the call money market
: IA New York. and force the immedi-
ate withdrawal OF enormous sums.
Should the order remain In effect
until March 4, II was pointed out by
Spreckles, President Wilson would
face q situation where, to leave the
order in effect would involve the gov
ernment's money mere every day and

Bailey told the house committee on

ment today something about the new

of the great assistance they render
ed the treasury department in negoti-

Bailey told the committee that, &C
cording TO his opinion, the govern
meat should keep a working balance
OF $25 100000 In the treasury and
have active depository accounts TO
the amount OF $50,000.000 In banks.

The committee endeavored 70 get

the government did not charge the
banks interest on deposits. Bailey

ASH Treasurer Says
Order Is Harmless

WASHINGTON Feb. denying
that there was any illegality behind
Treasury Order No. g." and assert
ing that Rudolph Spreckles, the San
Francisco banker, had ''misconstrued'
the order. Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury Robert o. Bailey, who sign
ed II. today made this explanation OF
the change in treasury procedure In
yolved:
"rhe order simply Increases the
number OF repositories for the pur-
pose OF simplifying check exchanging
without materially increasing the nx-
ed balance of national funds In ma
tional banks.
Under the old system there were
450 national repositories, carrying
total fixed balance OF $4s. 100000 Un-
der treasury order No. 8, the number
of depositaries IL increased to $50,
and the fixed balance increased TO
about $5O.O00.0o0. This means q de-
crease in each individual bank.
"rhe change was made because We
found that In disbursing through the
sub-treasuries much detail work was
necessary. Previously nine-tenths Of
the treasury disbursements were
made through the sub-treasuries. On
der the present system, 80 per cent
of the disbursements will be made
through repositories and 20 per cent
through the sub-treasuries. This will
permit holders of government checks
all over the country to obtain cash
or deposit credit without having to
pay exchange as they did under the
previous system. Any national bank
in the country will accept government
! checks for full face value.
"Mr. Spreckles is entirely wrong In
his construction of the new order.
There will be no increase In the bal
ance held by New York banks. On
the contrary. there will be a marked
decrease In their Individual balances

ed, that the opponents OF suffrage In

OF corporation lawyers and manufac-
turers?'

replied. I'VE have many manicurists

"But the officers OF the local asso-
