AFRAID OF “WILD CAT BANKING” Washington, Sept. 4—The kind of national paper currency the American Bankers’ assoclation would like estab- lished in place of the United States treasury notes proposed by the ad- ministration currency_ bill was out- lined to the senate banking commit- tee by bankers who declared they did not favor asset currency or notes se- cured by the general credit of individ- ual banks because of the danger of “wild cat banking.” “We believe the notes should be is- sued by the federal reserve board to the banks and by them to the public and that all the federal reserve banks should be responsible for the whole issue of notes,” said Sol Wexler of New Orleans, one of the spokesmen for the recent bankers’ conference at Chicago. Senator Reed, Democrat, declared he was “wedded to no particular cur- rency plan,” and throughout the hear- ing witnesses were questioned with freedom. Evils of Present System. The chief evils of the present bank- ing system, Wexler said, “were the lack of a flexible circulating medium,” and the fact that banks have “no place to go for rediscount when we have exhausted our own credit facilities.” “We believe the reserves of the country should be in one big reser- voir,” sald he, “where they are readily accessible, rather than scattered in 20,000 or more little piles where they can be of little benefit to the country in gene: An increased issue of government bonds and an increase in the bond se- cured national bank currency would not meet the present needs of cur- || Markets I Duluth Wheat and Flax.

The bankers again suggested the ad- vantages of a single central bank, es- pecially as to the fixing of a rate of discount for all parts of the country. Mr. Wexler said, however, that he did not believe the federal reserve board, undef the administration bill, would arbitrarily try to fix different dis- count rates for different parts of the country. AFTER KING'S ~ PRESENT Portugese Republic >W0u.|d Seize Wedding Gift Studded With 2,000 Diamonds. JEWELERS ARE PROTECTED London, Sept. 4.—Republican ex- tremists in Portugal are plotting to embarrass the deposed King Manuel by seizing the present which he is having made in Lisbon for Princess Augustine Victoria of Hohenzollern, who will become his bride, according to the Lisbon correspondent of the Daily Mail. It has been announced that Manuel proposed to have all of the wedding presents engraved “Manuel, King of Portugal,” an act which has aroused resentment among the Republicans. The depoged king's present to his bride is a diadem of platinum studded with 2,000 diamonds and emeralds. The royalists in Lisbon are having a number of presents made inscribed to their “king.” According to the Daily Mail the Carbonarios, a Republican secret society, have been on watch at places where the presents are being made and the jewelers have request- ed the police to protect them and to insure the removal of the presents in safety. It Is said that steps were tak- en to send the gifts through onme of the foreign legations, but the govern- ment objected. SCANDAL IN ROYAL HOUSEHOLD Steward at Buckingham Palace is Dismissed. condon, Sept. 3.—King George has been scandalized by the discovery of graft in his household. George Perrott, who has served twenty-six years in the steward’s de- partment in Buckingham palace, has been in the habit of ordering large quantities of cigars and wines from abroad, ostensibly for use in the royal household. These were consequently delivered at Buckingham palace free from duty, but Perrott paid for the goods himself, afterwards selling them to a well known hotel manager at 20 per cent below the market price, making a yearly income of $17,500. Perrott was immediately discharged as a warning to others. Fifteen Months for Blackmail.

The rallroad - employes who played the leading parts in the New Haven line's latest tragedy are under detention by the coroner’s or- der. Meanwhile the machinery for the usual county, state and federal investigation is in motion. Coroner Mix and Chief Engineer Elwell of the state public utilitles commission re- sumed the secret investigation which they began jointly with the railroad company. The interstate commerce commis- sjon's investigators on their arrival found practically no vestige of the wreck along the New Haven right of way. Notwithstanding telegraphic or- ders from the commission that the wreckage lle undisturbed officials of the road set gangs of men clearing up the roadbed after the crash. The two rear Pullmans of the Bar Harbor ex- press, where nearly all the loss of life occurred, were reduced to splin- ters by the crash. All of this wreck- age that could be burned was piled up in a dozen or more bon fires kin- dled close to the right of way by the wrecking gangs. The damaged loco- motive was hauled away with the re- malns of the third Pullman.
