perienced by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn of the United States and the Bank
of Japan"
Turning to detailed discussion of
banking conditions in the leading bel
llgerent countries since 1914, Mr.. Got--
lied says:
From August l, 1914, to September
10, 1919, the excess of gold imports over
exports was 1919 100000, whereas the
excess of silver exports over imports
during the same period was $319,-
100000. Very heavy purchases made
by European belligerents in this coun-
try necessitated the shipment of large
amounts of gold TO liquidate- adverse
of neutrality in 1915 and 1916. From
$3.50, ,678, ,304 on July /, 1914, the stock
Of gold in the United States rose to
$3,O8S. .904,008 in April 1917, when we
entered the war. The total stock OF
money in the United States exclusive
of that held by the United States
Treasury increased from $3,41916S, 1868
on July /, 1914, to S4,702, ,130,941 on
April l, 1917, representing a rise Of
Sl,2S2,962,3 rs, Of which 1888, ,4S1 ,O23
was in gold After our entrance into
the war, while foreign credits were
arranged for Allied countries which OBJ
for the most part, silver was being
exported from this country in fairly
large amounts in settlement of adverse
trade balances. especially in the Orient.
How Silver Was Lost
Interesting facts may be observed
in study of the figures of notes in
circulation. Whereas the circulation
of gold coin increased considerably
during the war period, the circulation
Of standard silver dollars remained
practically stationary; at the same time
the amount OF gold and silver certiti-
Gates in circulation decreased consider
ably. The explanation of the two
phenomena can be traced to different
causes. For the purpose of conserving
the gold supply of this country and
balances Congress enacted the Pitt
man act, by the provisions of which
the Secretary of the Treasury was au-
thorzed to melt $50 100000 silver dol
lars and sell them as bullion at not
less than 5 an ounce. Inasmuch as
silver certificates issued on the basis
of deposit of silver dollars held in
the Treasury, would have to be re-
called from circulation, Congress per-
mitted the Federal Reserve Board to
issue in their place Federal Reserve
ceeding the amount of the silver dol
lars melted or broken up and sold as
bullion These Federal Reserve notes
are based on United States certificates
of Indebtedness, or one-year gold notes.
with renewal privileges at the dscre-
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The Director Of the Mint is compelled.
as soon as practicable. to purchase
silver at 81 an ounce to restore the
amount melted or broken UP, and as
soon as this silver is coined Federal
Reserve notes Of equal amount must
be retired.
"The retirement of gold certificates.
on the other hand, was due to an
amendment to the Federal Reserve Act,
approved June 20. 1917, which pro,
vlded that the entire lawful reserve of
member banks must be carried with
Federal Reserve Banks, and at the
same time authorized the Federal Re-
serve Board to exchange Federal Re- |
serve notes for gold. The primary pur-
pose of this amendment was to cen
tralize the gold holdings in the Federal
Reserve Banks"

Asks Smith to Save Life
Convicted Slayer Tells Cover
nor He Did Not Commit Crime

Walter Bojanowski, murderer in
Sing Sings deathhouse, who is scheduled
to be executed a week from Monday. has
appealed to Governor Smith TO save his
life on the ground that he is innocent.
Bojanowski and William Marweg
were sentenced by Supreme Court jus.
tcc Marcus, of Buffalo, to die for the
same murder. A jeweler was held up
and robbed there. He chased the two
robbers and overlook one. As he was
graphing with him the other hold-up
man shot and killed him. The robbers
got away, but Marweg was arrested as
the man who wrcstled with the iewcler
and Bojanowski as the one who did the
shooting.
Bojanowski says he came along and
saw the crowd watching the jeweler and
the fallen robber fight. He says he hur
ried away for fear the police, with whom
he had trouble before. would think he
was implicated. Bojanowski claims a
policeman in civilian clothes followed
HIM and arrested him.
Marweg was granted new trial bv
the Court of Appels. Bojanowski's SEN
tence was affirmed. The Governor will
