OFFICIALS ARE AROUSED.
Camp Cook Killed and Body Placed
on Railroad Track to Allay
Suspicion.

Petersburg, Va, April 2s.-The
officials of Sussex county have been
very much disturbed over a murder
which took place near Stony Creek.
The body of a negro named Kelly,
who was employed as cook for a
gang of men employed on the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad near
Stony Creek, was found near the
track. From evidence introduced at
the coroner's inquest it was proven
that Kelly had been killed and his
body placed on the railroad track,
so as to make it appear that he had
been run over by train. The body
was mutilated, but an examination
showed that he had received several
blows and cuts that could not have
been made by an engine. The IN
quest was adjourned until next week.
and every effort is being made by
the county officials to locate the
murderers. Several men employed
at the camp left Immediately after
the inquest adjourned and the police
of Petersburg have been requested
to arrest two suspects who are be-
lievcd to be hiding in this city

RICHMOND RESERVE CITY.
Action of Comptroller of Treasury
Puts Place on Equal Footing
With Washington, BALTIC, ETC..

Richmond, Va, April 28-Richmond
has been designated as a reserve CITY
under the act of March 3, 1887
amended 1903. Under the terms OF
this act, the certificate designating
Richmond as reserve bank city has
been signed anil delivered by the
comptroller Of the treasury.
All Richmond banks are now en-
titled to the privileges and subject 10
+he requirements of National Banks
in reserve cities. This new step for
Richmond in the financial world should
mt he confuse, with the designation
of this city as a regional reserve -oank
under the new law.
Baltimota and Washington nave
been reserve cities in this respect
Richmond is now on an equal basis
to solicit the business of other banks.
One of the arguments used by these
two cities in the contest for the fed
oral reserve bank was the fact that
thew were reserve cities. This can
now he added to the many a-Nant-
ages offered by the bankers OF Rich
mond as being the best and logical
place for the location Of the federal
bank.
No regional reserve banks as yet
are in operation, but there are about
thirty-fve reserve cities.
Under this reserve law there are
three central reserve banks, one in
New York, one in St. Louis and one
in Chicago.
At present the subsidiary reserve
hanks are located, among other places
ut New Orleans, Kansas City, Boston,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Philadelphia
Cleveland, Washington and Bal
more.
A federal reserve bank is required
to keep 25 per cent of its reserve IN
it's own vault or in a central reserve
city. Other national banks can keep
IS per cent of their reserves either IN
their own vaults or in reserve cities.
The immediate effect of this deslg-
nation of Richmond will be to largely
increase the bank deposits Of this city
by enabling national banks that so
desire to carry their requisite re-
serves in Richmond at once.
Naturally, the banks Of North an"
South Carolina. West Virginia, Geor-
rita Florida, Maryland, Eastern Ten
nesse and Virginia will avail them
selves of the opportunity to place de-
posits in Richmond art once in anti
cination not only of the time that
Richmond will be made a regiona'
reserve bank center, but in response
to the greater facilities for DONG
business which the banks will enjoy
bv reason of the financial position
that Richmond will now hold as re-
serve center.
