BANKING LAW WAS
USED ONLY ONCE
AIdriCh- VreeIand Measure Went
Out of Existence on
June 80.
BY Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-On the
last day of June, 1915, the United
States government relinquished the
power to issue. upon short notice, adj
ditional circulating currency TO the
extent of half a billion dollars. ON
June so. the Aldrich- Nreeland act,
passed by congress May so, 1908, eN-
pired by limitation and by the death
of this measure. the government lost
a sort of modern counterpart of the
fabulous Philosophers Stone by means
of which, according TO the legends OF
tho ancient alchemistS, one might
touch objects and turn them to gold.
BY touching notes and other securities
with the magic of the Aldr1ch-NreC
land act the government could turn
them into emergency currency which,
bearing the promise to pay of the
United States, was considered as good
as gold.
The Aldrich-Vreeland act was never
used to any extent but once and that
one experience is fresh in the minds
of American bankers. When the Eu-
ropean war broke out like a sudden
incendiary conhagration last August,
the whole financial world was stag
gered. Although a neutral country
the United States was admittedly hard
hit and stood, according to many eX-
perts, on the verge of financial panic.
The Aldrich-Nreeland act, a republi-
can measure, passed seven years ago,
was resorted TO aid in the crisis and,
almost overnight, vast sums of AID
rich Vreeland emergency currency
were issued to banks throughout the
country. AS the financial world be-
came increasingly exercised by the
happenings in Europe. more and more
of the emergency currency was issued
until the total of $3S2,00O.000 was
reached. All this great wealth was
practically conjured up out of the
ground. OF course. notes and other
securities stood back of the money
as guarantee but notes and securities
are not always readily negotiable and
never legal tender. The emergency
currency was no more or less than
crisp. crackly American money.
As the crisis passed. the banks.
which, under the law were paying in
terest at a rate which accelerated as
the months they held the money pass
ed, gradually retired all their hold
ings. on June 30, 1915, less than
half a million dollars i'm emergency
currency was outstanding, and ar
rangements were being made for the
speedy retirement of this residue.
The new federal reserve law pro-
VideS for the issue of an emergency
currency which is designed TO supplant
the Aldrich-Nreeland honey. Federal
reserve notes and federal reserve bank
notes may be obtained and circulated
by member banks of the federal re-
serve system by putting up either
notes and securities as collateral or
United States bonds.
The great stock of $500. 10000 Aid
rich-Nreeland emergency currency
notes which was maintained by the
fro rH-Nr a slrsfra
cessity for an issue Will now be used
TO supply the regular demand for new
money TO take the place of worn out
notes.
Although the Aldrich- Vreeland act
now is "A thing Of the past il will be
remembered among American bankers
for many years.

New Style Anship
For Use in Warfare
By Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, July pa new
type of hydroaeroplane-o which it
is predicted may cause a revolution in
aeronautics-has made its appearance
near Washington.
Just eight miles down the Potomac
river from Washington at the quiet
littlo Virginia town Of Alexandria,
the first working model of the new
style aircraft is housed and carefully
guarded.
Thither for the past few weeks.
agents of various European govern
ments, it is said, have made frequent
pilgrimages.
Private exhibitions OF the new craft,
il is understood. have been given for
military experts of several of the bel
| hgercnt powers.
Among these are said to be agents
of Count Won BernstOrff, the German
ambassador; and representatives of
the British, French and Italian en-
bassies stationed in Washington.
The proximity of the ante-bellum
Virginia metropolis 10 the national
capital gives the military experts of
the foreign governments ample oppOr-
tunity to make frequent trips OF in
speCtiOn.
Naturally much secrecy attends
these work OUT flights. and a rigid
censorship is maintained.
Camera men, reporters and other
"disinterested' persons are not only
not invited but their presence is in no
way encouraged.
OF course, when the machine gets
away" no censorship can prevent the
circus from taking an unofficial look
But these looks" are at long range
and highly unsatisfactory.
1t is understood that the flights
thus far have been successful and that
the diplomatic agents are impressed
with the adaptability of the new type
of machine for warfare such as is
now being waged on the continent.
Since the beginning of the present
conflict, agents of the belligerents in
this country have been on the sharp

BIG STUDEBAKER
DEAL Is DENIED
Report of $500. 900 Land Purchase in
City is Said to Be Absurd
by Officials.

Emphatic denial of a story Mon
day to the effect that the Studebaker
corporation had closed an $500, 600
land deal in South Bend. was made
Monday night by local officials of the
corporation. The report. which was
supposed TO have come from New
York. and which stated that property
TO the value of 100000 had been pur-
chased here for the enlargement of
the local plant, was branded as false

debaker corporation, and Treas G. G.
Hanch.
Calls IL Mistake.
Mr. Rumpf, when questioned as to
the truth of the report. said.
81 am positive that the report is a
mistake. I can't see any reason for
such a purchase of land, as no such
addition TO the factory is being plan
ned. The report that large portion
of the automobile plant is TO be trans
ferred from Detroit TO South Bend is
equally false
The corporation has recently COM
pleted a fine large addition to the De
troit plant. which was built at an i'm
mense cost The proposition to trans

When asked whether such a project
would have come 10 his knowledge
Mr. Rumpf stated that the deal. II it
had been put through, would have
come through his office and that
nothing in regard TO the purchase had
Yet com Z, his attention
Treas r q. c. Hanch was equally
certain nat there was nothing 10 the
rumor hat formed the basis for the
story in the afternoon paper
Increased Work I'm Detroit.
The report that the Studebaker
corporation is planning 10 transfer
II Detroit plant 10 South Bend" he
said. probably grew out of the fact
that the local factory is constantly in
creasing its work in the manufacturing
OF automobile parts due 20 the in
crease business of the Detroit plant.

worth OF property for an extension of

take.
