April Is, 1925.

Estrip defied Parliament for many years
when it demanded that the monarch
choose ministers of state from among
the representatives of the people. On
many occasions Estrup dissolved the
Chambers when they refused to pass his

kept in order by means Of provisional
laws during practically the whole of his
term of Office, the majority of Parlia
ment being against him.

She Expresses Hope to Die.

| Monticello, n. Y, Dec. 24.-Miss AIDE.
laide Brance, the woman who was with
Melvin H. Couch, former district attor-
ney of Sullivan county. when he died
suddenly Sunday morning in his office,
was given her freedom late yesterday
afternoon, the authorities having failed
to connect her with the death of the
man for whom she immured herself for
three years.
Though freed now even of the charge
of petty larceny, on which she was held
pending an investigation of the mans
death. Miss Branee has asked permis-
sion to remain voluntary prisoner for
two or three days.
Il cannot face the world now" she
said yesterday. Il am sick at heart and
sick physically"
Sheriff Kline win permit the woman
to stay long enough TO regain her

1t was learned yesterday that Miss
Brance and Couch quafreled shortly be-
fore the man's death. The woman told

CURRENCY LAW FEATURES.
How the Country Will Be Affected by
the New Measure.

Washington, d. G., Dec 24.--The new
law affecting the currency, banking and
finances of the country is one of the
most far-reaching measures relating to
finance that has been enacted in many
years. The magnitude of the subject,
the diversity of interests affected, and
the length of the debates in both
branches of Congress, has made it diff
cult for the ordinary observer to follow
the changes and grasp the essentials of
this highly technical measure in its i'm
portant bearings on money, finance,
banking and the entire range of fiscal
subjects, public and private, which it
affects. With view, therefore, of pre-
senting succinctly and in non-technical
language, an epitome of the salient fea-
lures of the measure as finally framed,
the following summary is given of the
bill as whole and of its principal de-
tails.
Generally speaking, the first steps to
be taken to bring into operation the ma
tions new financial system win be
through an organization committee, con-
sisting of the secretary of the treasury,
secretary of agriculture and comptroller
of the currency. Banks have 80 days
within which to file their applications
for membership in the new system; and
one years time is allowed before the
government will compel the dissolution
of any national bank that refuses to
join.
Permits Loans on Farm Mortgages.
The new law will make little direct
change in the operation of the present
national banks, except to allow them to
loan certain amount of their funds
upon farm mortgages. Its chief purpose
is to add a new piece of machinery to
the banking system that will take up
the slack" during the changing business
conditions of each year; that will give
the banks a place to quickly convert
their assets into cash in time of need.
and that viii bring out new federal cur
