HOUSTON AGAIN |
WARNS ROADS.
No More Disbarsements to Be Made
Until Receipt Of Certified
Accounts By Treasury.
LAW DECLARED MANDATORY
Neither President Nor Attorney
General Can 0verturn Decision,
Declares Secretary.

Secretary of the Treasury Hous-
ton has warned the railroads of the
country that before payment can be
made from the guarantee fund held
by the Treasury to the carriers for
advances authorized under the Esch-
Cummins Railroad Act. certified ac-
counts must be filed with the Treas
ury Department. Although the rail-
roads seem to be depending upon a
decision OF the Attorney General or
the President, abrogating the decis-
ion Of the Comptroller OF the Treas
ury which refused permission for
the payments. Mr.. Houston yester-
day reiterated his announcement
that the certificates of accounts
must be made by the railroads to
the Treasury Department.
The decision of the Comptroller OF
the Treasury respecting payments to
be made TO the carriers under the
recent transportation act passed by
Congress is final in the matter" Mr..
Houston said yesterday. Neither
the President nor the Attorney Gen
eral ca overturn the decision.
L told representative Of the car
riers that II they wanted to get any
payments from the Treasury De-
partment. they had better get busy
and send in their accounts. As you
know. the Interstate Commerce Com
mission must verify all of the rail-
road vouchers and then such state
ments must be audited by the Treas
ury. This in itself is a big task.
The railroads responded that it
would be impossible to send in GER
titled accounts, admitting that they
could obtain only about 400 account
ants if they desired to be reimbursed
for the expenditures they have made
as provided by the transportation
act
The law is mandatory in this case
and the Comptroller's decision is
therefore binding. The Attorney
General will not intervene and could
not under the law. although many
Of the heads Of large railroad sys-
TENS seem to have the idea that this
can be done. probably by Presiden-
tiaI interference.
The claims against the govern
ment by carriers will total approx
mstely $500 900. OF this sum. the
Secretary said. about $240 900. 900 has
been paid on certified accounts. The
Treasury has s40O. 900. 900 on Rand to
turn over to the railroads as soon
as the necessary legal steps are
taken to refund the money.

MONEY.

New York. Oct. ga good de-
mand for call money was reported
today at I per cent, but it was
thought improbable that the rate
would be appreciably above that fig
ure. A good many brokerage houses
are temporarily oversupplied with
call funds. On the other hand. only
moderate inquiry is apparent for
fixed date funds, and the supply is
equally limited. The moderate busi-
ness done in this class is done at S
per cent, the nominal minimum.
There is nothing new to report In
the other financial markets. Prime
bank acceptances continue quiet at
unchanged quotations. The same is
true of mercantile paper. which is
quoted nominally at the time money
minimum.
Money on call on the Stock FIX
change opened at per cent, high
10 per cent. low I per cent, closing
10 per cent, most of the day loans
being made at I per cent.

In the opinion of officials Of the

putcd to be a British institution, is
reported to have a monopoly of the
foSeign exchange business of the
country. The influence of British
trade rivalry, together with the
magnitude OF AnglO-Persian trade,
is said to have had the effect of
making the difference between the
banks buying and selling rates for
dollar exchange considerably less
than the difference between the
banks buying and selling rates for
sterling exchange. The result has
been a tendency to make it cost
the Persian importer more to buy
goods from the United States than
from England, other things being
equal"

In comprehensive digest of
trade conditions throughout the
world the Department of Commerce
yesterday announced that trade ex-

abroad is solely dependent upon
American firms quoting American
products in the currencies with
which the prospective customer is
familiar.
"One of the advantages of quot
ing American goods in foreign cur
rencies,' says the report, "is the
protecting of the foreign importer
from excessive exchange charges.

Referring to the credit situation

that it would be impossible to Cs-

POLES NEW CAPITOL
 OPENS AUGUST 16

Hartford, July 26.-S. 2. Poh an- nounced recently, during a visit to Hartford, that Polls Capitol Theater
 now nearing completion on Main street, will be opened to the public on and will be known as Polls Capitol
 Theater MT. Poli said that in archi-
 tectural proportions, in acoustic prop
 ings it will be second to none of the 25
 theaters in his possession, and will rank as one of the largest and hand somest houses in the country. It will be devoted to vaudeville and motion pictures. The seating capacity is about $500.
 Tho Capitol Theater is hreproof and is provided with every convenience found in the best playhouses in Amer ica. There is a ladies' rest room, a
 mems smoking room, and there are telephone booths on. the meZzanine floor. The entrance is imposing. Two
 marble stairways lead from the main lobby to the balcony floor, which is lined with large mirrors, framed in panels of American walnut.
 l The scenic artist is now at work on back drops, and a large organ, that lplays both in the theater and in the lobby, has been installed.

HAS MAN RIGHT
 TO BE TASTEFUL?

The question of whether a man has a right to be wasteful in his habits is one not to be settled on the point of his own financial ability. The prob lem goes beyond the range of indivi- dual responsibility. It Is 8 question of mans moral rights and obligations toward society.
 This point, which is exceedingly timely in the midst of our present wid espread indulgence in etravagance and luxuries, is brought out very clearly by $. w.. Strauss In his new
 book on thrift in which he says:
 "Sheer waste is always wrong and always will be wrong, because it sim ply is wanton destruction - nothing less.
 Let Us clearly understand these fundamental truths. When we are wasting our resources in any manner lwhatever, either through destruction or through restricted production, we are diminishing the margin between supply and demand, thus placing hea- vier burdens on the very ones who are least able to bear them-the poor and the underpaid.
 Such practices, therefore, deterio
