SECRETARY SHAW SOLVESPROBLEM Evolves Plan to Supply Cur­ rency Wherewitfi to Move the Crops. INCREASES THE CIRCULATION TWEHTy KILLED National Banka Are Requested to Is­ sue Notes to the Full Amount of Their Capital Stock, Thus Furnish' Ing Sufficient Cash.> Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has taken steps to insure the movement of the enormous crops soon to be har­ vested without causing any stringency in the money market Tho matter has been under consid­ eration by the secretary for some time, and he has decided that the best way out of the difficulty is to Induce the national banks to increase their circulation. Such a suggestion was made to the banks some time ago and it is understood they have responded in a satisfactory manner. Can Issue Notes. The national banks can increase their circulation by $332,000,000 as they are capitalized at $700,000,000, and have issued notes amounting to but $368,000,000. The banks can issue notes to the full value of their capital if they deposit United States bonds in the treasury to cover the notes. Acting Secretary Alles, by authority of Secretary Shaw, who is in New York, made the following statement: Meets Favorable Response. "The secretary recently invited aome of the larger national banks in the principal cities to order additional amounts of circulating notes to be printed. National banks are entitled to issue circulation to the full amount of their capital. The secretary has hoped to Introduce an element of elasticity Into the present system. His suggestions to the various banks in the larger cities that they make prep­ aration for additional circulation have met with favorable response. To Be used In Emergency. "It is not his intention that they should issue this additional circulation all at once, but only in case of actual necessity and emergency. He does not propose to inflate the currency In any sense, but to be prepared to meet the actual currency demand should one arise. With this in view those banks which have made arrangements to deposit United States bonds as se­ curity for such additional circulation have sent in their orders, and the sec­ retary has had all branches of the treasury service busily engaged In ex­ pediting the preparation of the notes pending a possible emergency. To Prevent Stringency. Of course, it will not be necessary to issue so much currency, and the secretary does not wish any more printed than is absolutely necessary. He simply wants the currency made elastic enough to meet the demands. To prevent a money stringency dur­ ing the crop movement Secretary Shaw stands ready to co-operate with the banks and to do everything In his power. Shortly there will be heavy demands on the banks for currency, and at this season there is always fear of money being scarce. Has Solved Problem. This Important question has occu­ pied the attention of the secretary of the treasury for some time, and the problem has practically been solved for this season. If the banks do not increase their circulation enough to supply the de­ mand the secretary can deposit some of the government receipts in the na­ tional banks to tide over the busy season. JUDGE'8 REMARK8 ARE CAU8TIC 8everely Scores Men Who Plead Guilty In Michigan Fraud Case. J. R. Hunter, J. W. Woodworth, H. P. Kauffer and S. N. Bickerstaff of the Henderson-Ames company of Kalama­ zoo appeared In the Circuit court at Lansing, Mich., and pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the state of Michigan by their connec­ tion with the military clothing frauds. The charge against them was chang­ ed from perjury in connection with their testimony before the grand jury that Investigated the frauds, to con­ spiracy to defraud the state. Hunter, Woodworth and Kauffer were each fined $2,000 by Judge Wlest and Blck erstaff was fined $1,200 with the alter­ native in each case of two years In prison If the fines were not paid. In passing sentence Judge Wlest scored the respondents unmercifully.

Discusses Combines. At Ellsworth the President discuss­ ed the subject of industrial combines, saying in part: "I want to see the knife used to cut out any evil, but I want to see It used so that It will be more dangerous to the disease than to the patient. You can perfectly well reduce the prosper­ ity of the trusts by reducing the pros­ perity of everybody. In 1893 no trusts flourished--nothing flourished. But we want to devise some methods by which we can minimize any evil they do without interfering with the gen­ eral prosperity which is a benefit to all. We wish to avoid trying any solution of the problem which would Involve us all in a common disaster-- a disaster that would be felt most se­ verely by those least well off In the world's goods. Law Must Reach All. "On the one hand I believe that the men of great means should understand that when we demand some method of asserting the power of the nation over all corporations, we are acting not against their interest, but in their interest "When we make the law obeyed by the man of means we are not acting against him; we are acting for him. His safety lies In the law, and the worst of all possible lessons to teach would be to teach our people as a whole that the law did not reach him. It must reach him to make him obey it exactly as it reaches him to pro­ tect him from the wrong-doing of others. Not Against Wealth. "On the one hand, let men of great wealth realize that in seeking for this remedy we are both unalterably bent upon finding it and are doing it in no spirit of hostility to them, but in a spirit to find out what is best for them and for all of us alike." The President dined here at the home of Senator Hale, who accom­ panied the party from Bangor. At the depot when the train pulled in the President was escorted to a platform near.by and delivered a short address. He left at 10 o'clock for Nashua, N. H., and other points In that state.
