CASH TO BE PLENTY INCREASE OF BANK NOTE CIRCU L ATI ON SEEMS CERTAIN. , MUCH GOLD ON THE WAY Comptroller Ridgely's Plan Generally Approved by Bankers--Cortelyou Disposed to Help Cotton Movement. . **7 way °f variety, why not sing the praises of the peaceful fleets that plow the waters of the great lakes? asks the Detroit Free Press.

If the re­ port is correct it will cause radium t» be recognized as a boon to the hu­ man race by a number of persons who heretofore have taken very little Interest In it New York. -- Indications that the available supply of cash would be materially increased within a short time% both by imports of gold and the increase of the bank note circulation, and that the movement of cotton and grain crops would be facilitated in every way possible with the result of increasing our credits abroad, were the salient features of Thursday's financial situation. It seemed to be recognized every­ where that the acute stage of • the crisis was over and that all that re­ mained was to obtain sufficient cash to resume currency payments upon a broad scale and thus to restore condi­ tions prevailing before the crisis. The engagements of gold made in New York, Chicago and. elsewhere, brought up the total import movement within the past week to $23,750,000. As the amount of geld will afford a fcasis of credit to four times the amount, or about $#5,000,000, it will in itself af­ ford much relief to the existing pres­ sure. Ridgely's Plan Liked. The prompt response of the national banks throughout the country to the suggestion of Comptroller Ridgely that they should employ their United States bonds as largely as possible te secure circulation and substitute other bonds for those pledged against de­ posits of public money, promises a considerable increase in the available stock of currency. The estimates of an increase in the bank note circula­ tion of $30,000,000 is considered well within the probabilities. It will re­ quire time, however, In some cases for the banks to obtain proper bonds to substitute for their United States bonds. Mr. Vanderlip, vice president of the National City bank, made the fruitful suggestion that the savings banks would at once improve the general sit­ uation if they would sell their hold­ ings of United States bonds to the na­ tional banks. Even in cases where they do not care to sell, it is believed that they will lend their bonds to the national banks, as has often been done in the past Helping Cotton Movement. Interest continues to center in the movement of the cotton crop from New Orleans and other southern points, which is so essential to pro­ vide bills against the imports of gold. Secretary Cortelyou, according to Washington dispatches, was disposed to increase deposits of public funds in the southern banks as rapidly as such funds became available. This will supply the banks with the stock of cur­ rency so much needed to handle the cotton crop and will enable them to await with less embarrassment than otherwise the arrival of their cotton bills in Europe and the bringing back of the gold. The committee of New Orleans bankers which is in Washington has suggested that the New York banks can ease the situation by giving the southern banks credit for checks in foreign banks, forwarded as scan as they receive telegraphic advices of the amounts. This will enable the south­ ern Panics to check against such bal­ ances in payment of collections and in making remittances to interior banks throughout the country. To Reopen Oklahoma Banks.

San Antonio Bank Suspends. San Antonio, Tex. -- The West Texas Bank & Trust company of this city closed its doors under a temporary suspension of business Thursday and is now In the hands of the state commissioner of insurance and banking. The suspension is at­ tributed to the tightness of the money market and the refusal of northern and eastern bankers to ship cash. The West Texas Bank & Trust com­ pany is one of the principal banking institutions of San Antonio. Accord­ ing to G. B. Moore, president, the com­ pany will soon be In condition to re­ sume business. pft. $-v- a; This proposition to make bank Suites of different colors, varying ac- «prding to the denomination of the rails, is at least well calculated to give point and pertinency to the inquiry «T the vernacular as to the color of jitrar money.

RAILWAY STRIKE i&KPENOIJIB EMPLOYES' UNION fN ENGLAND VOTES TO QUIT. THE BALLOON RACE. Soma Hope That Lloyd-George May Avert TroubBs--Railroads Blame Socialism. London.--Notwithstanding the pow­ erful influences that have been at work for some time past in the hope of averting trouble in the .British rail­ road world, there seems to be but little probability qf preventing a strike which will halve the most seri­ ous consequences to the , traveling pub­ lic and the men and companies in­ volved, as well as to commercial in­ terests generally. The action taken Friday by the executive committee of the Amalga­ mated Society of Railway Servants, in passing a resolution to call a gen­ eral strike, leaves little or no hope for a favorable outcome. This society al­ ways has been looked upon as one of the most conservative of the labor unions, and its dealer, Richard Bell, M. P., has been noted for his efforts to prevent strikes and for his utter-1 ances in favor of the rights of capital as well as the rights of the working man. While there is a long list of alleged grievances, the principal one has turned on recognition of the union, and this the railroad companies, whose chief spokesman is Lord Claud Hamil­ ton, are determined not to concede. The general strike, however, under the rules of the society and the re­ quirements of the law, cannot take place for some weeks. In the piean- time there is a remote hope that the efforts of David Lloyd-George, who, with the influence of his high position, as president of the board of trade, has been working strenuously to bring about a settlement, will be successful. The railroads charge that the pres­ ent agitation is due to the growth of socialism and curiously enough, while this idea was being voiced by Lord Claud Hamilton Friday night in a declaration that socialism was "irre­ ligious and immoral in its teachings," Mr. Lloyd-George was averring in his address that socialism was "a bogey of to-day introduced to frighten the unwary" and that there was no danger but a "certain advantage in socialism insomuch as it stirred the people to think." EDITOR HARDEN ACQUITTED. Gen. Count Von Moltke Beaten in Ber­ lin Libel Suit- Berlin.--Maximilien Harden, editor of the Zukunft, was acquitted Tuesday on the charge of defamation of char­ acter brought by Gen. Count Kuno von Moltke, former military governor ot- Berlin. Gen. von. Moltke was oon-» demned to bear the costs of the trial.; The scenes in court when the ver- j diet was rendered were as dramatic as any ever witnessed in a Berlin court­ room. Harden's victory gathers double emphasis from the fact that the court not only declared Herr Harden's state­ ments in the Zukunft true, but af­ firmed that their publication was justi­ fied on the specific grounds alleged. The verdict, while net confirming the charge that Count von Moltke Is a man of morbidly abnormal prop*ssi- ties. inferentially confirms Harden's other charges--namely, that Moltke, with Eulenberg, Hohenau, Lecomto fuid other high-placed personages be­ longing to Prince Euienburg s coterie of mystics and occultists, formed a vicious circle surrounding the throne and wielding through Eulenburg a powerful influence upon the emperor. In one case it positively enabled the emissary of a foreign government, Le- comte, to obtain information perilous to the vital Interests of Germany. JUDGE GRO88CUP ARRE3TED.

Simultaneously warrants were served on Francis S. Peabody, presi­ dent of the Peabody Coal company; Marshall E. Sampsell, receiver for the Union Traction company, and Arthur W.

Miss McLean, His Stenographer, and A. B. Gordee, Charged with Conspiracy. Chicago.--Peeping through a sky­ light just above her desk, a federal secret service operative saw Miss Etta L. McLean, trusted stenographer, secrete in her stocking the stolen copy of a letter from United States District Attorney Sims to Attorney General Bonaparte. Miss McLean a little later, having been arrested, produced the letter from the self-same receptacle, while in the office of heir employer, Mr. Sims. At the saine time she confessed to having stolen another letter written to the attorney general several weeks ago. Both communications related to the John R. Walsh bank cas^. Miss McLean, in her tearful confession, Im­ plicated as her accomplice Alexander B. Gordee, with whom she has been living. From the secret service detective who witnessed the stacking episode It was learned , that Gordee had gone to Mr. Walsh's office in the Grand Cen­ tral' railway depot and, presumably, tried to negotiate -for the saj^e of the first letter. All this was brought out Friday af­ ternoon at the hearing of Miss Mc­ Lean and Gordee before United States Commissioner Mark A. Foote. They had been arrested by government offi­ cers on the previous evening. At the conclusion of the preliminary inquiry the two were sent to the county jail in default of $5,000 bonds. The charge against the couple is conspiracy to steal and also agfeinst the woman the actual theft of the letters. For the conspiracy charge the penalty may be two years in the peni­ tentiary and for the second charge the penalty may be five years, with the addition of a $10,000 fine in either charge.

Official of First National, Charlton, la* Kills Self. Des Moines, la.--Frank Crocker, cashier of the First National Savings bank, of Chariton, committed suicide early Thursday. His daughter found him dead in bed. He had taken mor­ phine. The bank is believed to be In good shape. Worry over losses sustained in al­ leged use of Modern Woodmen funds is believed to be the cause. Crocker left a note saying: "I can't bear this strain any longer." Crocker was once, gpand treasurer of the Modern Woodmen of America, and held a national office in that order at the time of his death. Chariton is a town of 5,000 inhabi­ tants, 100 miles from Des Moines. National Bank Examiner H. M. Bost- wick is in charge of the bank. Crock­ er, before killing himself, addressed a note to Mr. Bostwick, whose visit was expected. This note explained briefly that the bank was overloaned and re­ quested the examiner to take immedi­ ate charge. The bank has a capital stock of $50,000, a surplus of $50,000, and carried about $900,000 in deposits. The other banks of Chariton are entirely unaffected by the closing of the First National. The Bank of Rus­ sell, a private institution of Russell, la., of which Crocker was president, also closed its- doors temporarily. MOUNTAIN BURIE8 VILLAGE. Karatagh, in Bokhara, Is Overwhelmed by Landslide. Tashkend, Russian Turkistan.--The little town of Karatagh, in the Hussar district of Bokhara, has been over­ whelmed and completely destroyed by a landslide that followed the earth* quake of October 21. According to the latest reports of the disaster, a majority of tbs inhabitants of Kara­ tagh lost their lives. The first reports of the casualties were exaggerated, the death list be­ ing placed as high as 15,000. Kara­ tagh had about 2,500 dwellers, and there is reason to believe that about 1,600 were buried alive. Among those who survived the disaster are the governor of Karatagh and his mother. Karatagh is remotely situated, and it takes a full week for news to. get out from there, but according to one courier who has come through, an enormous section of the Karatagh mountain, which practically hung over the town, broke loose and thundered down uponvtbo/ village, which is al­ most completely buried.

LOUISIANA 1^8 feXCITED Son of Former Senator "Posts'* tho t Lieutenant Governor, Wb9s*,v Jr 'yUwHfa Will Not Let -/A.. Fight Duel. '* New Orleans, La.--The firm reply of Lletit. Gov. J. Y*. Sanders Sunday to what has been universally accepted as a challenge for a duel by Donelson Cafferey, son of the late United States Senator Donelson Cafferey, has cre­ ated a dramatic political situation in Louisiana. Another matter, entirely foreign to the personal combat, increases the tension. The practically rival procla­ mations of the lieutenant governor and of Gov. Blanchard of the coming extra session of the legislature were brought face to face by the governor's arrival here Sunday from the east Early Sunday morning, in close con­ formity to *he code of honor, Mr. Sanders issued a written reply to the statements of Mr." Cafferey. This statement declared that the lieutenant governor holds himself personally re­ sponsible for the utterances which caused the trouble, and adds: "I am prepared to meet that re­ sponsibility, and Mr. Cafferey knows where to find me." Preceding this statement, two rep­ resentatives of each man in the dis­ pute had held conferences and Mr. Sanders' friends had declared firmly they would not accept a challenge in accordance with the duelling code be­ cause the lieutenant governor could not violate the statute law making duelling a crime. Next followed the "posting" of sev­ eral sections of the state by Mr. Caf­ ferey with hand bills stating that sat­ isfaction had been refused him by Mr. Sanders. These hand bills declared that the lieutenant governor had called some of Mr. Cafferey's state­ ments untrue. The discretion of both the lieuten­ ant governor and Mr. Cafferey is re­ lied on to prevent a personal encoun­ ter. There are fears, however, that friends of the disputants may be drawn into a serious quarrel. FAST TRAIN IS WRECKED. Queen & Crescent Passenger Collides with Freight--Two men Killed.
