CENTRAL BANK NOT ASKED Reserve Association Composed of Na- tional Banks the Main Feature of the Proposed System. | Washington, Jan. 18.—Senator Nel- ‘son W. Aldrich’s long awaited “plan for the revision of the national bank- ing legislation,” as he himself calls it, has been made public. It does not contemplate the establishment of a central bank. What he proposes is the establishment of the “Reserve As- sociation of America,” a federation of local associations, formed by national banks. ; Under Senator Aldrich’s plan the country would be divided into fifteen districts, with a branch in each dis- jtrict, each branch to be made up of ‘local associations There would be forty-five directors in the reserve as- ‘sociation, three for each branch, with six ex-officio directors, the secretary of the treasury, the comptroller of the currency, the secretary of commerce and labor and the governor and two deputy governors of the association. The reserve association would be the principal fiscal agent and deposi- tary of the government, would fix rates of discount and eventually its inotes would replace those of national !banks, which would gradually be re- | tired and not be reissued. In addition to rights now enjoyed national banks would be authorized to accept commercial paper having not more than ninety days to run, to the extent of one-half the capital and sur- plus of the banks. Two new classes of national banks lare provided for, one to have savings departments and make loans on real estate and another to exercise the , functions of trust companies. Currency emergencies would be met by a stem of mutual support, in which all members of the association | would participate. | Reserve Fund for Earnings. National banks having a minimum [capital of $25,000 may subscribe to | Stock in the reserve association to the Famount of 25 per cent of its own .stock. Earnings of the association are to go into a reserve fund and to be divided between the members and |the government in designated propor- | tions. | In addition to authority to issue notes to replace those of national | bai nks the reserve association would ‘have authority to issue additional cir- | culating, notes and the whole or any part of the first $100,000.000 of such additional notes would pay a tax of 3 per cent to the government above $100,000,000 and not more than $200,- 000,000 could be issued at an annual tax of 4 per cent, and above $290,000, 000 and not more than $300,090,000, at a tax of 5 per cent, and all above ; $300,000,000 would pay a tax of 6 per | cent. All note issues of the association must be covered to the extent of at Jeast one-third by gold or other lawful Money and the remainder by United States bonds or bankable commercial | Paper. | The capital stock of the association | would be $300,000,000 and the asso- | ciation and its branches exempt from | taxation except upon real estate. | |REJECT TARIFF BOARD BILL Republican Members of the Ways and Means Committee Act.

Jensen and three children were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the Jensen residence at Riceland, I'reeborn county. Mrs. Jen- sen, carrying a baby in her arms, es- caped the flames, as did Esther and Albert Jensen, the former, however. being severely burned. The three children who perished slept in one bed and must have died where they slept. The house is a total loss. The fire is believed to have been started by the use of gasoline instead of kerosene. Jensen arose early in the morning to start the fire in the kitchen stove. He was not seen after- ward. The mother discovered the fire when the house was in flames. She cried to the children to escape and took the baby in her arms and leaped through a window. Usther, eleven years old, and Albert, nine, followed the mother. The frantic woman at- tempted to return for the three young- er children, two, four and six years old, but she was met by a wall of flame and gave up the attempt in de spair. With no clothing or shoes and in the extreme cold the woman set out for a neighbor’s for assistance. Wrapping sacks about her feet she set bravely out and in spite of the cold carried the child safely to a neighbor’s home, one mile away, and aroused the mem- bers of the family who returned with her to the fire. All efforts to rescue the other children were fruitless. Esther Jensen piloted her younger brother to the neighbor’s home, where she was given good care. Later she was taken to a hospital in Albert Lea. She is severely burned and may not recover. Albert escaped without in- jury. The mother is suffering more from exposure and shock than from the burns she received. BOY CONVICTED OF MURDER Duluth Youth Found Guilty in Second Degree.
