GOLD MONEY BASE
HAS BEEN RAISED
U. S. Currency Now Backed
by 73 Per Cent in Metal
Security.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A circulating currency that Is bulwark-
ed by 73 per cent gold base is the
answer Uncle Sam can give to any
charges that this country has en-
barked on program Of issuing un-
sound money.
This fact is embodied in statistics of
the Federal Reserve Board covering
the condition of the IL Federal Reserve
banks during the week ended April S.
The statement showed that In response
to the Presidents call for a segrega-
ton of gold a total of $3,278, 1877 900
had been restored to the Treasury and
its agencies, bringing the total Of such
reserves to their highest point since
August, 1881. OF the total. $2,65l,-
/ 884, 900 was held exclusively against
Federal Reserve notes.
Currency Demand Small.
Against this gold reserve the Gov
ernment had outstanding a total OF IS,
GA, 1877 900 of Federal Reserve notes In
actual circulation, while only $15,930,-
900 of the new Federal Reserve Bank
notes, constituting the much discussed
new money" was in actual circula-
ton. Thus far, only Of the IL re-
gional banks have availed themselves
of the new currency, which Is backed by
| sound assets"
The weeks influx represented a gain
Of $42,07l 900 of the precious metal
during the week, and total return OF
$595 ,298, 900 since the call went out
early last month for its muster.
Only the banks at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Cleveland and st. Louis
have employed the new currency, the
amount outstanding gaining 81 .702, 600
during the week. The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, however, retired
$108, 900 from actual circulation during
the week, apparently portraying in
creasing confidence as pictured by les
sened demand, in the most important
finanial center in this country. j..
In addition, the statement revealed
that the monetary gold stocks of the
country had increased $11 ,000,0 dur
ing the week to total Of $4,283, ,000,-
600, or roughly. 81 per cent Of the
worlds estimated total Of $11 500. .000,-
900. The level. however, was $113,000,-
600 less than for the same week Of
last year.
Decline In Circulation.
A further restoration of normal bank
ing activities, and dehoarding, brought
money in circulation down $4,000, 600
during the week to total TO $6,26l,-
600 ,OOO, which is $1,277 900, 900 less
than the peak reached during the bank
ing crisis early in March.
Attorney General Cummings said no
attempt has yet been made to deter
mine what action the Justice Depart
ment night take after May /, the end
of the period fixed by President Roose-
velt for turning in gold and gold GER
tificates.
II won't assume people will not obey
the law" Cummings said. What we

ture State relief policies, the all-day

policies of the new Federal Relief
Administration toward those counties
which have received and now are
spending Federal funds for unem-
ployment relief.
Under the new Federal relief act
money is being distributed on the
basis of 81 of Federal money for every
So of public money spent for relief
purposes during the first quarter o.
1888. After July 1 all public money
spent in the second quarter of the
year will be matched on the same
basis.
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal relied

eral aid be administered through pub
lie agencies which can be held to GER
tain standards both in the field o.

the field of accounting. This is expect
ed to result in an increase in employ
ed, rather than volunteer relief work
ers. Already plans are under way Il

led it lis being distributed by means

Prescott Seeks
Change Of Venue
For Clark Trial
Motion Filed By Prosecution
Backed By 800 Residents
Of County

Motion for a change of venue in
the trial of Berry E. Clark, former
clerk to the Montgomery County
commissioners, whose trial on the
first of 81 indictments alleging $780,
600 embezzlements from the county
has resulted in three jury disagree
ments. was filed last week by States
Attorney Stedman Prescott in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court at Rock
willie.
The motion was accompanied by an
affidavit signed by more than 300
residents of the county stating that
they have heard the case discussed
throughout the county and are of the
firm belief that the State can not re-
ceive a fair trial in the county.
A hearing on the motion is to be
held Tuesday, August 1, 1890 A. M
before Chief Judge Hammond Urner
and Associate Judge Arthur D. Will
lard at Rockville.
States Attorney Stedman Prescott
issued the following statement:
81 realize that since the last trial
in the Clark case that the citizens
of this county have given consider
able thought as to whether or not it
should be again tried, and some Of
them are of the opinion that the mat
ter should now be dropped. believe
that the vast majority feel that il
the confidence of the people in the
present method of administering
criminal law is to continue, that JUS
tice must prevail, alike to the power
full and rich as well as to the weak
and poor"
''In other words, the grand jury Of
this county has returned 81 indict.
ments and up to the present date
there has not been decision one way
or the other in any one of the cases
After decision is reached either by
acquittal or conviction exactly which
is the proper course to pursue will be
much more easily determined.
False statements have been widely
spread as to the costs to the county
IN trying these cases. l requested Mr.
Clayton K. Watkins, clerk of the
court, who has the records, to tel
me the actual costs so far. He inform
ed me that the last trial cost less
than $3.50 and each of the two prev
ious trials cost less than this
amount"

Selling Wheat Crop
Has No Effects On

( Those farmers who wish to OBJ

OF the wheat adjustment program
should get in touch with the local
county agent, o. w. Anderson, at
Rockville or the State Extension
Eervice at College Park.
whatever payments are made
to wheat farmers on this years
crop under the wheat adjustment
program will be made regardless
Of whether the crop is sold now or
later Mr.. M. L. Wilson, chief of
the wheat production section of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
rninistration, has stated.
Numerous inquiries have been
received from farmers who wish
to sell their wheat, who have heard
OF the wheat adjustment program
and who are uncertain whether
they will be entitled to adjustment
payments if they market their
wheat now.
"The wheat adjustment plan has
nothing to do with the marketing
of wheat" Mr.. Wilson says. "The
farmer is entirely free to sell his
wheat when, where,and to whom
he chooses. Payments will be made
to farmers participating in the
plan regardless of when they mar
ket their crop"
Full information on details of
the adjustment program will be
announced as soon as they are
available, Mr.. Wilson says.

It has also been pointed out that
the general national plan of linking
super highways has been to connect
all county seats. The town fathers
believe that any contemplated move
ment to spend federal monies on
roads should include the linking up
of these key centers.
In connection with the proposed
super highway connecting Baltimore
and the eastern routes to Virginia and
the roads Leading South, the Town
Council proposes that any bridge
erected across the Potomac River
should be built in the near vicinity
of the Great Falls. It's Importance
as national scenic location and its
ultimate future as a water power
development project is emphasized.
The resolution follows:
