TREASURY ISSUES
CALL FOR FUNDS
Banks to Close on lincoIn's
Birthday-0ther Local
Financial Notes.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
las called upon the nations banks to
pay into their regional members not
later than Wednesday the sum of s17,-
$4,000, same being 10 per cent Of
the proceeds of the December Is sale
of certificates remaining with the in
situations on deposit. The issue in
question was joint fotation Of tt
1924 and I'd 1924 certificates, with re-
spective interest rates of 4 and AZ
per cent, with total subscriptions Of
$349, a77,50O, less exchanges of $1o9,-
18O,5oo.
OF the original net, $1S1,6s0,3o0, or
approximately 81 Ia per cent, remain
on deposit with the banks of the
country.
This is the first call the Treasury
| has made on banks for more than a
| month, thus indicating the strong po- 4,
sftion of its Golfers. For the seven
months ended February this depart
ment's ordinary receipts totaled 81
159.19l.96S, All increase of $70,033,SS%
over the corresponding period las
year. At the same time, ordinary e&-
penditures decreased S35,064,751, COM
pared with a year ago. Total receipt
for the first seven months OF the cur
rent fiscal year exceed total ordtnary
expenditures by $3s0,473,125, month
~ average Oh nearly $Oo,UUUsVOV. AL
but S20,O5S;375 of the excess receipts
has been used for the sinking fund.
ment- OF this amount S213,21l,iJ0
has been used rothe sinking FUND.
This leaves s77,422,550 to be used for
this fund in the next hve months IN
der the schedule.
The Treasury has been using a large
part of its sinking fund to buy THIRD
liberty bonds, and it is probable that
this policy will continue so long as
4 hn he al
less. since they mature earlier than
any other liberty bond
Victory notes which matured nearly
year ago are still being presented
for payment. For the seven months
ended February total OF $11,072.-
$50 of this issue had been presented.
1t is probable that holders or these
securities lost appreciably more thai
100000 in interest by not present
ing their notes promptly.

markets of the country will suspend

SEEK 10 D|SPROVE
 HE WAS DRUNK
StatIer's Son Insists He Has
 Nervous Ailment

Syracuse. N. Y.. Oct. 30.-Twenty witnesses are to be called on be- half of Milton Ststler, adopted son of F. NJ. statler, millionaire hotel owner, whose trial on charge of being intoxicated while driving an automobile began yesterday.
 The youth was arrested on Octo- Der II after an accident in which the car he was driving. crashed into one driven by Eben Chappeli of this city. Members of fhe Chappell party, and two policemen who ar- rested Statler, testified yesterday that the boy bore every evidence of being intoxicated after the collision.
 Dr. J. Victor Haberman, New York city nerve specialist. a witness for Statler declared however. that the boys condition at the time of the accident might have been due to an attack of "hemi-chorea," nerve disorder similar to St. Vitus dance. Four years ago he started treating young Statler for this trouble the doctor declared, and the excitement of the accident. he believed probably caused it to recur in serious form.
 Attorneys for Statler will attempt to prove, that the boy entertained friends in a hotel on the afternoon of the accident. that he had three drinks of liquor. and that he was in good physical condition, fully cap able of driving an automobile, at the time of the accident.
 Rough treatment by the police men who arrested Statler, the de- fense attorneys will attempt to show, caused a recurrence of the chorea. and made 1t seem to spectators of the accident that Statler was in- toxicated.

SWISS EXECUTION
First in 22 Years Causes Much Trouble Over Selection of Man to Do the Dirty Work.


 Do the Dirty Work.
 Berne, Switzerland. Oct. 30.-The death penalty was inflicted yester- day in Switzerland for the first time in 22 years, at Altdorf, capital of the Canton of Uri, when Clement Bernet was guilotined fer the mur- der of a young girl who surprised him while in the act of burglary.
 There is no official executiorer in Uri and the authorities had consid- erable difficulty in finding anyone to carry out the sentence. A train hand who offered to do the job for 500 francs was forbidden by the federal railroad management when other employees threatened to strike if he were allowed to east dis credit" upon them. At the last mo- ment a mechanic was induced to pull the trigger releasing the knife.
 Bernet was the least considered person at the execution. Becoming converted while in prison, he re- fused an appeal for communication and, as he approached the scaffold, he tore the black hood from his head exclaiming: My victim stared death in the face; it is but just that I do likewise"
