BANKER SEES DANGER IN
CURRENCY BILL

Alexander Gilbert of New York,
president of the Fulton Market Ma
tional bank, took the stand at Wash
ington. Tuesday. at the hearing on
the administration currency bill. and
sounded a note of warning as to the
danger of hasty action in the franz
ing of currency law. He said:
You gentlemen don't under
stand this bill. the country doesn't t
understand it. You know only the
surface features of the bill A great
deal of study and deliberation will be
necessary to make sure that when
this vast machinery is put into opera
tion it will work right. Because If it
doesn't work right annoyance and
even disaster may result. Time is not
an essential element The old system
is working we'll. No evil portents ap-
pear in the financial sky. 1t will pay
you gentlemen, and 1t will pay the
country to work out the details of the
bill to an absolute certainty"
Gilbert went over with the COM
mittee the activities of the New York
Clearing -honse association and its
conduct during the 1907 panic. He
recommended that to avoid any in
flation of the currency, under the new
system, the bill be amended to re-
quire so per cent gold reserve to be
held against the new circulating
notes, instead of 33 1-3 per cent, as
the bill provides.
Taylor Vinson of Huntington. w.
Va, proposed an entirely new bank
ing and currency scheme. He sug-
gested the formation of a treasury
bank" through which the government
itself should issue currency and ex-
tend rediscounts to national banks.
He recommended that the collectors
of international revenue be made
branch officers of this bank. to pass
on credits, pointing out that they
would have at their disposal as credit
information the returns under the in
come tax law.

in which this important part of life

in most cases as incidental and a
trivial part of woman's duty-in fact
not as a duty in the true sense of the

DRILLING STOPPED AT
RAILROAD VALLEY.

Victor Brandt, president of the
Railroad Valley company. has issued
statement that drilling for potash
in the Railroad valley, has been sus-
pended pending further action by the
directors. The results of the drilling
campaign thus far have been un-
productive and disappointing, as 1t
was confidently believed from the in
dications that potash in commercial
quantities was assured. Well No. 5
was driven to depth of 1913 feet,
and we'll No. 6 to a depth of 955
feet. Well No. was given up as a
failure, but the presence in Well No
6, of gay-lussite was taken as sure
indication of the presence of potash.
But result proved wholly unconclu-
siye.

THREE ARRESTED
in CRARY AFFAIR
GREEKS WANTED FOR ASSAULT
ON OFFICER CAPTURED BY
SHERIF'FS GRAIN AND JACK
son At GREENS SIDING.

The assailants of Deputy Sheriff
James Crary, were captured Tuesday
morning, by Sheriff Grain and Deputy
Sheriff George Jackson, at Greene's
Siding. point on the Nevada North
ern railroad. ten miles north
of Cherry Creek. The assertion in
last Sundays News, that 1t was be-
lieved the much-wanted thugs had
left the district, was in the main cor
rect, as shown by the events leading
up to the capture of the three men.
Ever since the affair at Riepetown
the officers have been quietly busy on
the case, and suggestive clue was
discovered Sunday, by officers Crary
and Roberts, in an abandoned tunnel
near Junction City, in the form of
secreted cache of provisions. The
two deputies decided to watch the
place, and along about nightfall, saw
three men go to the cache. The
three, however, discovered the Of

cape. The chase was discontinued
for the time being, and Sheriff Grain
notified as to the turn of affairs.
Monday, new tactics were decided
upon, and Indian Jack and Indian
George McGill put on the trail, which
they followed until night, when they
reported that the three fugitives
were heading north through the Step
toe valley. Acting on this informa-
ton, Sheriff Grain made some de-
ductions of his own and got in COM
munication with the Cherry Creek
station agent. The agen's informa-
ton was encouraging. to the effect
that three Greeks had very recently
been in that locality and had made an
offer to the section foreman of six
dollars. if he would convey them to
Greene's siding.
Without further delay Sheriff
Grain and Deputy Jackson, left for
the north by automobile George Jet
ter driving the car. No time was lost
in getting to Greenes siding, the
sheriff's auto arriving there early
Tuesday morning.
Results were not long in coming to
a head, and the officers took no
chances with the three men overtak-
en-, An arrest was quickly made, the
fugitives being given no chance for
resistance by the officers who had
them effectually covered and would
have taken prompt action had neces-
sity required. The men arrested
proved to be Pete Gavros. Steve Cav
ros and Jim Tyrovalls Two were
armed with automatic revolvers and
the third had a wicked-looking dirk
knife
The trio were brought to Ely and
locked up, and further action was
taken in Judge Cartwright's court,
Wednesday, at which time Steve Cav
ros and Tyrovalls as principals, were
arraigned charged with assault with
intent to kill No action was taken
at that time in the case of James

OVERLAND co. ASSISTS
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE
ABILITY OF INVENTION

A majority of the great inventions
which have done so much for the ad-
vancement Of this country in an indus
trial and business way, were worked
Nearly every inventor of note who has
contributed to the progress of the in
dustrial world has had to fight the
handicap of poverty, and often hunger.
The man who invented the telephone;
the boy who first harnessed steam; Ed
ison, who has contributed so much In
the way of electrical appliance; all
knew what it meant to feel the pinch Of
poverty. Nowadays all this is changed
and the boy or man of an inventive
turn of mind Is given every opportunity
to work out his ideas. In the big au-
tomobie factories of the United States,
especially, no one need hesitate because
he has not the means to carry through
the experimental work which is neces-
sary TO perfect any invention. The
WHY'S Overland Company, of Toledo,
Ohio, has installed a noteworthy sys-
tenn to bring out the best their en-
ployees have in the way of ideas.
A word to his foreman or the super
intendent will bring all the opportunity
an employee needs for the working out
of his invention. Time and facilities
are placed at his disposal and every
possible aid is given him. Expert engi-
neers offer advce and suggestions. on
every hand there is some one to lend
hand As result of this policy the
WHY'S Overland plant has developed
many an invention that has proved Of
the utmost importance in automobile
manufacture. Labor saving machines
and devices are being perfected every
day. And the inventor is never de-
prived of the credit or benefit due him.
His production is bought at fair price
if the company sees fit to use it, and If
not he is assisted in placing it on the
market to the best advantage.

a horse must be stabbed near his work.
Not only is the time it takes to drive
him from the stable to the job" just
80 much lost out Of the working profit
units, but every step of the way is
taken from the distance he can travel
in his days work. 7 horse being flesh
and blood, has limited endurance. A
machine, if properly built and suited to
the work has practically no limitations.
The necessity of stabling horses near
their work to save both time and
strength going to "the job" and re-
turning from it means a constantly in
creasing expenditure for housing. For
in cities and even towns, stables fire.
quently must be located in districts of
fast raising property values. The mo-
tor truck, on the other hand, suffering
no WEAKNESS of the flesh and having
from twice to six times or even more
the speed of the horse can be housed
at any distance from its working base
that may be desirable for economy.
Furthermore, the garage is not the in
sanitary nuisance that the horse stable
is; and as a single motor truck, prop
erly used, will do the work of from
three to six two-horse teams, it is fair
to calculate that the motor trucI
equipment required for a given amount
of work Will occupy no more than one
fifth the floor space required for horse
equipment This allows for the space
occupied by wagons horses, feed and
so on.

Every lady who has driven or ridden
in an automobile has the discomfort of
her everyday corset, and this fact
more than anything else. has kept num-
bers of enthusiastic lady motorists from

A remedy has been found by the

scientific principle that makes it very

BY RoLLIN w. HUTCHINSON, JR.

The economic considerations that en-
ter into the substitution of motor truck
for horse transportation in practically
every line of commercial enterprise
goes deeper than most people would
think, probably That the removal Of
horses from city streets tends to clean
liness, to sanitation and to the more eff
ticient handling of congested traffic;
that motor trucks by their greater
speed and endurance broaden their own
er's selling territory beyond what can
be reached by horse service; that
motor operation is more economical
than horse operation-~all these things
are recognized in a general way by
business men. That there may be
connection between the high cost of Iiv-
ing and the high cost Of maintaining
horse transporta ton equipment is not
so obvious to the casual observer,
though there is ample ground for con-
Meeting the two things.
The evidence In this connection lies
in the increased cost of living, so to
speak, for horses as for human beings.
1t has grown simultaneously and in
nearly exact proportion. for animals
and for men. Accurate calculations
from the actual market reports show
that In the last five years the cost
of feeding horse has increased 1877
per cent
Cheaper Than Horse.
This sounds theoretical and fantas-
tic at first, perhaps, but the hard test
Of plain figures shows it to be practi-
cal and common sense. There is not
point at which the motor truck is not
cheaper to maintain than the horse

ANTS ARE SPREADERS OF
CHESTNUT BLIGHT
Wind Also Carrier Of Blight
SCRANTON, Pa, April 5.

SCRANION, "a, April D.
Investigations made by ornith-
ologist in connection with species
Of birds as distributors Of the
chestnut blight have thus far fail
ed to show that members Of the
aware tribes did much in the way
of distributing this fungus pest.
Some few spores, it is asserted,
have been found on certain tree
dwelling birds, namely, wood
peckers, the crested fly catcher,
screech owl and sparrow hawk,
all of which breed in hollow limbs
and other cavities af trees. The
chestnut tree is often chosen by
most of these birds mentioned in
which to build their nests.
Prof. Nelson w. Davis, zoolo-
gist Of Bucknell University, Lew
isburg, in two months in the
chestnut groves Of G. X. Sober,
in Irish valley, Northumberland
county, demonstrated that ants
disseminated the bright duning
the summer months to the extent
of about 80 to 95 per cent of all
cases of infection occurring dur
ing that season of the year.
Blight followed where branches
had been stung by the seventeen
year cicades, the ants carrying the
spores to the wounds.
After blight enters a locality
the ants are the olcal distributors.
During the fall and winter months
after rains, the ascospores may
be carried by the wind; but there
are few fresh wounds then on
the trees and few infections fol
low.
