PLAN FOR Central
BANK ATTACKED
Banker Urges Clearing Houses
With Power to Issue Loan
Certificates.

WASHINGTON, Jan 16.-An or
eanization of twenty geographically
located clearing houses, with au-
thority to issue loan certificates, con-
vertible on demand into government
currency at 50 per cent. of their face
value, was proposed to the House
currency reform, committee today as
the natural solution of the currency
problem by W. A. Nash, president of
the Corn Exchange Bank. of New
York, and a former president of the
New York Clearing House.
Mr.. Nash declared there was no
necessity for a central bank; depre-
Gated the idea of copying European
methods and urged the committee
not to seek the plan of some theorist
in finance, who, he said, rs more to
be dreaded than a bull in china
shop"
Questioned by Chairman Glass, Mr..
Nash said the clearing houses con-
templated in his plan practically
would be regional banks.
Chairman Glass has announced that
the committee later will seek the
views of business men, farmers and
representatives Of labor. Some bust
ness men probably win be examined
early next week.

fore the mayor, a committee of union
men and the police commissioners to-
day and denied that he had refused
to take a complaint against Burns
detective accused of holding up a
striking ironmoulder.
He recalled the various decisions he

plain his judicial decisions. both

"A striking ironnoulder appeared
in the First Precinct Police Court and
asked to be allowed to make a COM
plant against a detective for carry
ing concealed weapons. When
learned that this detective was a
special policeman and had perfect
right to cary a revolver, / refused to
accept the complaint. The striker
never said that he had been held up
at the point of a revolver and rough
ly used or l certainly should have
had the detective arrested"
Bernard Kelly the strike leader,
who had accused the Judge of unfair
ness explained that he knew only
what the strikers had told him.
Mayor Haussling told the union rep
resentatives that he had talked with
Judge Herr, of the Fourth Precinct
Police Court, and was certain that the
Judge intended to treat the strikers
with absolute impartiality
"All we want" put in Mr.. Hilfers,

When he added that only strikers
were arrested for lettering, President

NEGRO MAY FACE
MURDER CHARGE
Witness Breaks Down and His
Testimony May Convict
Augustus Hamlin.

A charge of murder may be made
against Augustus Hamlin, the negro
arrested in connection with the death
of Mrs. Catharine Ernst, of Irvington.
The latter's body was found bruised
and battered near the Lyons avenue
bridge crossing Elizabeth creek, in
Irvington, on December 2S.
Hamlin was picekd up on suspicion,
and when Thomas Waldron, wit
ness under arrest, also colored, broke
down this afternoon, the county de-
tectives declared the case against
Hamlin was stronger than ever.
Hamlin sought to prove an alibi by
stating he was in the company of
Waldron in Newark at the time Mrs.
Ernst met her death.
Prosecutors Detectives Joseph II.
Quicker and Walter Godfrey, who
have been working on the case since
Tuesday, decided to question Wal
dron again. This followed the report
of DIR. MARYLAND, pathologist at the
City Hospital, who stated that the
stains found on Hamlins coat were
from human blood.
Waldron, who is 60 years old, at
first corrohorated the story told by
Hamlin and declared the latter had
been with him at his home in New
ark street about December IS.
This afternoon Waldron broke down
and declared the story he told at
first was untrue. According to the
county detectives Waldron now
states he does not know where Ham
lin was during the time the crime
must have been committed, thus de-
stroying Hamlin's alibi
