to Be Taken as Security.

Washington, Aug. with the ap-
parent double objective of eliminating
the possibility of money stringency in

GALE SWEEPS WASHINGTON -
KILLS 8, HURTS MANY.
White House Windows Crash as Presl
dents Secretary Rushes Wilson
to Safety.

Washington, Aug. Three persons
lost their lives. scores were injured
and many small buildings were de-
molished and a large property loss
was caused by a terrific wind. rain
and hail storm which swept Washing
ton on Wednesday. The wind blew
seventy-two miles an hour and more
than one and one-half inches of rain
fell in an hour.
The wind wrecked a three-story
brick Office building occupied by the
B. S. Saul company, real estate deal
ers, and fifteen persons were carried
down in the crash. w. E. Hilton,
vice president of the real estate COM
pany; Thomas B. Fealey, sixty-five
years old, clerk, and an unidentified
man who entered the building to try
to rescue those caught in the wreck,

House were devastated. Three huge
elm trees, uprooted by the vino, were
thrown bodily across the lawn and up
to the very portico of the building,
blocking the drives. President Wilson
was seated in the executive offices
when the wind crashed through sew
eral windows in the White House
proper. Secretary Tumulty hurried

bly, of Indiana, with whom he was con-
ferring, to sheltered interior room,
away from the searching lightning

KUOLT DEMANDING VAULTS

Madison -Commissioner of Bank
ing Kuolt may yet hold up the work
of demolition of the old north wing
of the statehouse. This department
still is housed in that section and he
refuses to bulge until quarters are
provided where he can have vault
room wherein to keep safe the rec
ords of the Office.
The commissioner of banking and
his deputy are required to give bonds
in the sum Of $4,000 each, and the
bank examiners each in the sum of
$4,000 for the faithful performance
of the duties of the Office, one of
which is to keep secret all informa-
ton gained of the condition of the
banks of the state. To conform to
this requirement with certainty Com
missioner Kuolt holds that it is ne
cessary to have a vault wherein to
keep the records, in order that they
may not by any mischance become ac-
cessable to persons not connected
with the department.

COUNTIES MAY NOT
GET HIGHWAY FUND
SEVERAL HELD NOT ENTITLED
TO FULL ALLOTMENT
FROM STATE.
PROVISIONS OF LAW IGNORED
Neglect of Freeholders to Petition
Their Town Boards for Specific I'm
provements Makes the Receipt Of
Aid From State Doubtful.

Madison.-Chairman John A. Ha-
zelwood of the state highway commits
SION states that it is probable that
several of the counties in the south
ern part of the state would fail to get
their full allotment of the $1,200,000
appropriated by the legislature FOR
state aid for highway construction
this year because freeholders have
failed to petition their town boards
asking for the improvement of speci-
fed roads.
The chairman said, however, that
many freeholders were now taking
advantage of the so-called Force"
provision of the highway law which
enables them to compel the improve
ment of any portion of the county sys-
TEN of roads by filing a petition with
the town board requesting that the
Improvements be made, together with
receipt from the town treasurer
showing that sc per cent of the
towns share of the estimated cost
of the Improvement has been paid.
Under this provision any group of
freeholders who offer to pay one
sixth of the cost of an improvement
can compel the town, county and
state to pay the remaining five-sixths.
These petitions must be filed with
the town boards before Aug. Is.
Chairman Hardwood is making
tour of the southern part of the state
by automobile in order to inspect i'm
provements now being made and to
explain to freeholders that their
counties are likely to lose their full
allotment of state aid unless they
act before Aug. 10.
He said that the commission ex-
pected there would be / 900 miles of
new road built in the state during the
present year, which, when finished,
will make total of 1900 miles con-
structed under supervision of the
commission.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The Demo
Gratis of the house banking and cur

consideration of the administration s
currency bill on Friday, after more
than five weeks of continuous and
stormy discussion.
The bill was ordered closed and re-
printed, and on Monday the Demo.
cratic committee members will take a
formal vote recommending the meas
ure to the Democratic caucus.
The bill differs little in its essen
tials from the administration measure
framed by Representative Glass, Chair
man Owen and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and approved by
President Wilson. The complete gov
eminent control of the federal reserve
board which will direct the new bank.
ing and currency system, deemed by
the president the all-important factor
of the bill, wac retained.
At the eleventh hour the Democratic
members of the committee incorpora-
ted an amendment providing for an
advisory board of bankers to advise
the federal reserve board This amend
ment was in the nature of a compro-
mise with the banking interests, which
protested vigorously against the ex-
clustvely governmental feature of the
control Of the board
Another important amendment in
corporated in the bill altered the re-
discount section comforting the power
to require federal reserve banks to
mutually rediscount paper. A change
was made in the division of the earn

representations that the president be-
lieved it should be considered apart

The so-called insurgent amendments
