+ | th Kr ri TO INVESTIGATE CLEARING HOUSES Wickersham Questions Legality o! Certain Arbitrary Charges. | | | WOULD AFFECT ENTIRE COUNTRY Rule by Which New York Banks Col lect Millions Annually May Have to be Changed to Comply With Anti-Trust Laws. i Washington, Aug. 14.—A collateral]! phase of the so-called money trust is being investigated by Attorney | General Wickersham. The inquiry, which may affect) clearing house associations through: | out the country, revolves’ about the| tule of the New York Clearing House! association requiring its members to, charge a specified sum for the col-' lection of out-of-town checks drawn on certain parts of the country, and} at the same time giving them discre-| tion whether to make charges for | similar collections in other localities.) Which Law is Violated? | A careful and thorough study of! the workings of this rule is being; made by the attorney general, it is) said, to determine whether the Sher-| man anti-trust law or the national} bank act is being violated. If action; is taken it will make precedent for all clearing house associations hav-| ing similar rules. j According to the rule of the New| York Clearing House association, the} banks composing its membership are| compelled to charge one-tenth of 1 per cent for the collection of checks; payable in most of the states in the East and Central West, while the} charge for the far South and far West is one-quarter of 1 per cent, On the other hand, the banks are given discretion to charge or not to charge collection commissions on other local- ities. Two Questions Involved. There are two questions involved | in the inquiry—the right of the banks} by concerted action through the clear- ing house association to agree onj fixed charges and their right to charge in some localities and not in others. The officials of the depart- ment of justice have recently been in communication with managers of the clearing house association to ascer- tain the facts. The association, it is understood, has pointed out that in. addition to the cost of collection the charge is fair and necessary, because a custo-! mer is permitted to draw on an out of town check at once, the bank re- ceiving no interest during the period of collection. .* These collections by New York banks have been variously estimated from $3,000,000 to $17,000,000 yearly. Theaters Without Orchestra. Chicago, Aug. 14.—Four downtown theaters have decided to do away with orchestras. Under the rules of the Chicago Federation of Musicians, the four houses, being in the first class, must employ a minimum of 11 musicians in their orchestras or none at all. The theaters chose the latter alternative. General Booth Ill. London, Aug. 14.—General’ Booth of the Salvation Army is critically ill. He has been in failing health for a jong time, but seemed better lately.

Battleship Crew Planned to Capture Vessel and .Compel Ruler to Abdicate. London, Aug. 14.—A dispatch to the Daily News and Leader from Odessa tells of a recent revolutionary plot on board the battleship Ivan Zlatoust at Sebastopol, for which ten men were sentenced to death. The revolutionists had the daring object of seizing the imperial yacht Standart while the czar and his family were on board voyaging from Malta to Sebastopol. The ezar was to have been compelled to abdicate his throne or abrogate his powers and proclaim a limited monarchy. The seizure of the imperial yacht was to have been the signal for a gen- | eral mutiny of the crews of the Baltic Squadron, wuo were to arrest or mur- der all of the officers and attack Cron- standt and St. Petersburg simultane ously, Rigid censorship exercised over the press has prevented any reference to this incident or the recent symptoms of grave dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the army and navy, and the officers of all grades have been compelled to sign an agreement not to discuss-any phase of the dis- content, BRITISH CABINET FEARS WOMEN Members Slip Away From London for Vacation Under Strong Police Guard. London, Aug. 14.—Fearing molesta. tion by suffragists the cabinet: mem- bers are slipping out of London for their vacations as secretly as possi- ble and underwtrong guard of police Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex- chequer, and Attorney General Sir Rufus Isaacs went to the continent. The whereabouts of Premier Asquith Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Home Secretary McKinna~ are unknown, Winston Churchill, lord of the ad- miralty, who was reported to have been held up on his way to Sandwich and delayed by suffragists, it is learned, did not stay to listen to the women’s arguments. A barricade of the suffragists had been placed across the road to stop his motor car, but the chauffeur dashed through it and fled before the women had time to say anything. Army Fliers Into Sea. Duxbury, Mass. Aug. 14.—After making a successful start for the seat of the military maneuvers in Con- necticut, the army hydro-aeroplane, piloted by Lieut. Arnold carrying Lieut. Kirtland as a passenger, sud- denly dropped into the harbor off Kingston, five miles from here, dam- aging the machine. Both aviators es- caped with minor bruises and swam ashore. Prepare for Immense Crop, St. Paul, Aug. 14.—Approximately fifty-five thousand freight cars have been assembled in the wheat-growing territory of the Northwest, east of the Missouri river for the first shipment of crops. That is a conservative esti- mate based on statements made by officials of the Northern Pacific. Rail- Toad officials say this is the largest number of cars ever assembled for such purposes.

C, VaNnpErvoonr, Agent, PACIFIC IRON MOUNTAIN success created a wild scene in the house, and amid great confusion the Republican leaders protested that Speaker Clark count as voting ten members who answered ‘“present’ to their names, a ruling which would have defeated the Democratic pro- gram by overcoming the five-vote margin, making impossible the record- ing of the necessary two-thirds vote of the house. This the speaker de clined to do. Marks End of Sugar Bill. Less than an hour after the wool bill had been repassed in the house, the conferrees on the sugar tarifi bill met and disagreed. This action is expected to mark the end of sugar tariff consideration in the present session, and the excise tax bill, which was framed to make up revenues that would have been lost by th. reduction of the sugar tariff, also probably will remain in conference when congress adjourns. While Democratic and Progressive leaders of the senate do not believe the wool bill can be passed in that body over the president’s veto, they will continue the demand for action on the cotton tariff measure, Tumult Follows Passage.
