Under the reserve act each national bank must subscribe six per cent. of its cap- ital and surplus to the capital of t rve bank in i dist: t and per cent. of this total would be about 107.000,000. Only 7,465 national banks gnified in the legal time their in- tion to enter the system, so the total would be somewhat reduced, but the entrance into the em of s }.t(*! banks and trust companies will tend | to offset this and it is possible that with these institutions figured in the capital of all reserve banks will be near $110,000,000. The actual working capital reserve banks ma; of the v reach only half this amount, for the law provides manda- tory subscriptions of only three-sixths of the total six per cent. The reserve board, the machine which will direct the system, however, is authorized to demand the payment of the other three sixths, MISSING GIRL RETURNS AFTER 24 HOURS ABSENCE Tells Story of Being Kidnapped by | Two Men.

Washington, April 1.—The adminis- tration bill to repeal toll exemption for American ships in the Panama canai Wwhich passed the house yesterday amid spectacular scenes, reached the senate today and was promptly referred to the committee on inter-oceanic canals without debate, Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the canals committee, who is marshaling the anti-administration forces, an- nounced definitely tonight that hs would call a meeting of the committ for next Tuesday. Until that time no formal consideration of the repeal measure or proposed amendments can develop. Although friends of the pres ident had hoped to.have the canals committee meet earlier, they decided to make no effort to induce Senator O'Gorman to change his plans. They will insist, however, upon action with- in reasonable time after the commit- tee gets down to work, Won't Submit to Delay. Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who will lead the fight in committee for the ad- ministration, visited the White House early in the day and conferred with the president. [Later he made the em- phatic declaration that friends of the repeal bill would not submit to un- necessary delay in preliminary con- sideratfon of the bill and flally de- clared that the gauntlet of committee be hurled should be made to impede the of the measure, That some members of the commit- tee who orpose exemption repeal de- sire to have public hearings on the bill was apparent late today, but adminis- tration senators insisted that such hearings were entirely unnecessary and that there could be no reason for them except deliberately to cause delay, Possibility of Hearings. Senator O'Gorman has sald repeat- edly that there would be no unneces- sary delay in the committee in con- sidering the bill, but it is expected that requests will be made of him to grant hearings, On this the committee may be forced to act, and it would be considered as a test on the real issue. Just how the committee stands is uncertain, both sides claiming a majority of one. An nfavorable report om the bill would be followed by a minority report and this would bring the controversy before the senate on a motion to adopt the minority report. Arbitration of Treaty Dispute Proposed y complications are possible in situation, even before the commit- because there are half a dozen pertaining io the tolls question before the committee. That a 1 be made to amend the repeal bill as it passed the house is certain, but friends of the pres dent declared that nothing but flat re- peal of the toll exemption will be ac- cepted and in support of this they claim a safe majority. Estimates af this majority vary from two to twen- ty-fou an now persistent effort w Today Senator Norris of Nebraska introduced a resolution which would provide for arbitration of the treaty dispute in the tolls controversy and Senator Poindexter submitted another to proyide for postponement of con- sideration of the tolls issue until Pres- ident Wilson submits details, in con- fidence, if he chooses, as to foreign relations to be affected by toll exemp- tion repeal. No action was taken on either olution. GUNMEN OBJECT TO FREQUENT SCRUTINY Hide Themeelives in Bed from Witness in Becker Case.

New York, April 1.—The resignation of Douglas I. McKay as police com- missioner has been in Mayor John Pur- roy Mitchel's hands since last Friday. This fact became known late today after the publication of a Teport that within three days the mayor would appoint a new commissioner. The mayor admitted, upon being question- ed, that McKay had submitted his resignation. The commissioner desired to retire at once if possible and by April 15 at the latest. Legislature Killed Police Bill. Mayor Mitchel said he had had no fault to find with McKay, who has been commissioner about three months. Mc- Kay wanted to quit the office Some time ago, said the mayor, but remain- ed while there was a possibility that Colonel George W. Goethals, builder of the Panama canal, would consent to become commissioner. But the state legislature killed the mayor's police bill, designed to amend the city char- ter so that Colonel Goethals would be willing to take the post. Mayor’s Secretary Mentioned. McKay, formerly first deputy com- missioner, was appointed commission- er as successor to Rhinelander Waldo, who resigned on the last day of Mayor Ardolph L. Klines' administration. It was understood at that time that the appointment was a temporary one. Who will succeed to the post is not known. There was a report today that the mayor's secretary, Arthur Woods, once a deputy policé commissioner, would be appointed. To Resume Private Busines: The assumption at police headquar- ters that McKay resigned to resume private business was confirmed tonight ‘when the mayor gave out the commis- sioner’s letter and his own reply to McKay. The commissioner's communication alluded to the mayor's efforts to secure Colonel Goethals' services and stated that McKay has continued to serve “that the city's interests might not be jeopardized,” meanwhile. Now, how- ever, McKay wrote, “the discipline of the department” requires the appoint- ment of 2 man whom the mayor might be expected to retain and support dur- ing the rest of his administration. The mayor's reply contained the following words in praise of his commissione Praise from the Mayor. “The discussion of the possible ap- pointment of Colonel Goethals tended to render embarrassing and difficult your position. Despite this fact, your administration has been effective and has, 1 believe, commanded the ap- proval of the people of the city.” Mayor Mitchel said he had not made up his mind who would be commis- sioner, BRITISH SITUATION HAS QUIETED DOWN. Sentiment For Settlement on Federal Basis Growing. London, April 1—A remarkably pa- cific spirit has come over the present situation, in strang econtrast to the storm and stress of a week ago. It is almost certain that Mr. Asquith will be returned to parliament unopposed. The feeling in favor of a settlement on a federal basis is gaining ground. The Unionist, Sir Mark Sykes, made a strong appeal for such a settlement during the debate on the home rule bill today, which also was notable for a very pacific speech by John Dillon, nationalist for Mavo. The youngest | members of the Unionist party and the older members on the Liberal side are | working hard to secure a settlement of the home rule question by con- sent. | BISHOP HAMILTON AT .
