KANSAS CITY, Sept. 24.—8am Parks and his followers are now practically in control of the convention of the International Asso- clation of Bridge and Structural Iron Work- ers. Parks and his friends are reticent about saying what they will do with thelr powers, but it {8 claimed by the Parks ele- ment that R. E. Neldge, president of the unfon of which they are members In New York, and Frank Buchanan, president of the International association have been re- pudiated dnd will be deposed. Parks says that Neldge was deposed before he left New York, but that dectsive action will be taken in regard to Buchanan. The delegates, after much discussion, voted to allow the inside shopmen to join the assoctation. This is something new in trades unionism and means that there will be complete affilation between Inside and outside men. This action will more than double the membership of the International association. It 1 generally belleved by the Aelegaten that President Bichanan will be Gateated if he allows his name to go before the convention for re-election. There is much routine work before the convention and the election will not' take place for several day: Omaha Man Viee Presiden SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 24.—The eleventh blennial convention of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Blecttical Workers closed torilght with ‘the fistallation of 'the new officers.” The fight for’ the heéxt con- vention was today / marrewed down. to Loulsville, Ky. and El Paso, Tex., the final cholcg \heing left -to . vote of the locals m:}unum the' . caliritry, ~ Today seven dlstrict vice presidents were elected as follogws: F,.J.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Sept. 24.~In the district court here today Judge Seeds overruled the motion to quash in the case of the four mill priso; for whom writs of habeas corpus were issued recently and ordered the prisoners turned over to the clvil authorities. Judge Seeds said that he could not sub- scribe to the doctrine advanced by the respondent, that the military law was su- preme. The court sald that the question involved was: “Does the executive order calling troops constitute a justification of arrest?’ He held that civil law had not been overthrown In Teller county. and no evidence had been adduced that law break- ers were not to bo punished by the civil authorities. Judge Seeds also strongly re- buked the presence of operators in the court room. ¥ The men have been held prisoners by the: militia for about two weeks without war- rants and with no formal charges against them. General John Chase, in command of the troops, declined to recognize the authority of the court until ordered by the governor to do so. History of Case. A strike of dered at the unfon miners was or- Cripple Creek about the middle of August by the Western Federation of Miners, in .support of the mill men at Colorado City and other points which had been for a long time contending for an elght-hour day. 'he mine owners, percentage of the red to work If protection was assured, called upon Gov- etnor Peabody for troops, although the clvil authorities denled the necessity for such a course. The governor, however, decided that troops were needed and dered almost the entire National guard ot the state, about 1,000 men, to the dis- trict under command of Brigadier General Chase Since that time several prominent mem- bers of the Miners' unfon, including all the members of the executive committee, which had the strike fn charge, have been arrested without warrants and held in the guard house. Habeas corpus proceedings were begun in their behalf week General Chase and his legal ad' -rs held that, though martial law had not been formally declared, it was really put in force by the order issued by the governor directing the troops to maintain order, and that therefore the civil court had no juris afetion. alleging that men_ de a large or- last Governor Obeys Court. DENVER, Sept. 2.—Governor Peabody sud tonight that the decision of Judge Seeds in the habeas corpus cases at Cripple Creek would be respected. ile stated that the formal order in the case would be fssued from headquarters in the fleld. He sald: Judge Beeds has decided against the mili- tary, and as the National guard is in the (‘rlelu Creek district for the purpose of alding the courts and the civil authorities enerally, there was nothing left for me 0 do except to order that the prisoners be turned over'to the civil authorities. Governor Peabody sald that this would also apply to all prisoners that may be taken hereafter. He declined to say what course would be pursued in the event that the civil authoritles fatled ‘to yrosééute the men who are. charged with orimes. — Notice to the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.

TRIBUTE To ROBERT EMMET (Continued from First Page.) after which the service concluded with the singing of ““God Save Ireland.” Al Irish for Ireland. Hon. A. P. McGuirk, the speaker of the evening, was greeted with warm applause, and preceded his serious remarks with a neat exhibition of his inheritance from the Blarney stone, He began by saying that he was proud of being an American citizen, for the light of liberty here was the hope of the world. He felt, however, that love for his country need not interfere with love for dear old Ireland. He held that such celebpations as were being held all over the land ‘were of great good, as they brought the Irish and American together and In a great measure cheered up the struggling people in old Treland. He regretted that there should be any division in North America and predicted that in a fourth cen- tury the stars and stripes would float over Ottawa. This would help the cause, for every strength taken from the British em- pire would help the Irish republic. He sald that Ireland had been oppressed 700 years and in 1798 had been forced to rebellion. Its people had been driven to the four parts of the earth, but held their old enthuslasm, be strife, irecland mus®be free. Ireland was being sustained by the Irish in this country and elsewhere and the English brought to understand that the Irish at home must have some consideration. Mr. McGuirk paid a tribute to Emmet, saying that while he had been executed his memory would live as long as time and that his name would be revered. In all an- nals of history no name stood higher. The battle for which Emmet died still goes on, and the spéaker believed that this was the time for the Irish Americans to show that they, werg 4 united people for the relief of Ireland. fn‘lhe present movement he thought that the; frish would be able to dictaté to the goveriment a measure of re- lief which will result in home rule, 1t this occurs, then remedfal measures can be taken to bufld up the decayed industries, If home rule become a fact, the speaker believed that the Irish republic would soon follow. g The Irish people are more independent now than ever before and the measires of relief have given the people hope. The soil of Treland belongs 4o the people, sald the speaker, and unless they own it there will be no liberty. Mr, McGuirk closed with an optimistic view of the future liberty and greatness of the Irish republic, which he belleved to be inevitable. DEATH RECORD. Mrw. M. M.

Dawes of Illix delivered an address on “Proposed Chagges in Our Banking Laws." Mr. Dawes said in part The address of Secretary Shaw at Chi- cago in favor of the authorization of a small issue of heavily taxed bank notes unsecured by the deposit of the United States bonds required under the present law indicates the new phase which the discus- sfon of currency reform has recently taken on In the country. It marks the passing from serious public consideration of the complex and radical measure advocated by Congressman Fowler and many others and the inception of the discussion of a simple and sane remedy for a generally recognized defect In our monetary system Radical Currency Reformers. For some years the toplc of asset cur- rency has been chiefly discussed by what may be termed the radical element of cur- rency reformers. Their work has, In & gen- eral way, been most useful in inspiring in- terest ii the subject, but not_resulted in the presentation of ans plan which has secured anything like unanimity of support even among the radicals themselves. As has been ably pointed out by Prof. Cieveland of the University of Pennsyl- vania, thelr mistake has been In misunder- standing the difference in the nature, method and history of the growth of the Amerfean system of independent banks and that of the continental systems, and in ‘attempting o devise plans for graftin on our differentiated system methods of issue which are the result of centurles of evelution in systems of associated and cen- tralized banking. Their plan for the gu- thorization of llghtly taxed national bank notes unsecured by government bonds, it adopted At this time, would probably pre- cipitate an early and most calamitous erisis in_the business of the nation It is & matter of common knowledge and the aggregate statements of the national banking system published by the comp- troller show, that the aggregated liabiil- tles of the system are at present in a well expanded condition; jn other words, these liabilitles taken in'the aggregate bear at present such a ratio to the actual cash re- serves that to increase them much more would result in a dangerous inadequacy in the proportion borne by the cash reserves to llabilities. Expended Bank Credi Now, in this expanded condition of bank- ing credits, and with a well expanded con- dition of general credits other than bank- ing credits—at a period when the financial history of this country and every other would Indicate that we should be prepar- ing methods for facilitating the future liquidation of credits rather than methods fot creating additional present credits—we hear the advocates of lightly taxed apset currency calmly advocating as a bulwark of safely to the banking and business in- terests of the country the granting of an authority to the banks to still further in- crease l;\e disproportion between thelr lia- bilities and their cash reserves by the Issu- ance of these notes It is a_principle of sound finance, as it is of sound architecture, that when a high structure seems a little unstable the situa- tion is one demanding masonry in the cel- lar rather than paint on the roof. Thanks 1o the law of March 14, 190, the natlon has builded up the gold foundation of the gov- ernmental currency issues and our cur- rency system is sound. As gold in the treasury is to the credit of the greenbacks, so are the cash reserves of banks to the credit of their liabilities. ‘While at present these cash reserves are sufficierit to sustain these liabilities, yet so long as these llabilities remain at their present amount we want no lessening of the cash and no adding to the labilities, Let us now take up Secretary Shaw's plan for a heavily taxed emergency asset currency, considering further kome of the dangers 'of lightly taxed asset currency which his plan would avold. When subject to only a small t asset currency will be taken out by the ks in normal times to secure thé profits incidert to its issue, As it 18 a form of banking credit it will form an addition to the already large amount of banking credits now In existence. It will still further increase the burden resting upon existing cash reserves. - Bince it can be profitably issued In normal times, and since the country can easily ab- sorb an issue amounting to at Jeast per cent of the capital of national banks. this currency will, as a whole, be practieally inelastic, its total volume standing at out the maximum allowed by the law. e fore. in times of panic it will be an added burden on the banks, and Inténsify rather than alleviates panic conditions. < Plan of Secretary Shaw, Secretary Shaw's plan, however, for a § per, cent or 6 per cent réstrictive tax upon such issues will prevent thelr present issu- ance, since they cannot be profitably issued under that rate of taxation unjess interest rated are at the high point which they only reach at times of panic or financlal dis- turbance. As other forms of banking credit are ‘then in process of lquidation with resulting high interest rates, these notes can then be issued and will be a great relief in doing the work formerly done by the liquidated credits. Buch a process will noi, therefore, be one of inflation, since the notes at such s time will operate to sustain the level of banking credits, and not to raise it Let us consider another danger from lightly taxed asset notes in their effect upon bank deposits and depositors. The bulk of the business of the country is done in checks and drafts drawn against de- posits in solvent banks. These deposits, ting over $6,000,000.000, are left with hrough the confidence of the de- sitor clags. Any step in finance which ends in any way to adversely affect confi- dence in bank deposits is without qualifica- tion the most unwise step possible to be taken. When deposits commence to be gen- erally withdrawn through lack of confl- dence the purchasing power of the country is decreased, the money actually In circu- lation is lessened, prices fall, Industry stag: nates and commercial depression ensues Now these lightly taxed asset notes are 10 be issued under an optional system. The banks can issue the notes or not as they please. This makes It impossible to determine from the past record of the national bank- ing system as a whole what the amount of the tax should be to make them safe, for percentage deductions from the record of he whole system cannot safely be apnlled to & part when there js no way of telling the size or location of ‘the part of the sys- tem which will choose to issue the nofes Therefore, in order to make the notes safe in addition to the tax. a first lien of the note_helder over tho depositor is provided for by these jplans. This would result in the case of every insolvent bank which had issued these notes In a heavy loss to the depositors over and above the loss they would experience under the present system under which the proceeds of the notes are invested in & practically unshrinkable deems the notes without recourse on the devositors.

Any fair asset currency plan should pro- vide for a pro rata lien of note holders on the same plane as depositors as against the assets of an insolvent bank. No Important asset currency system in the world except that of the small banking system of Canada provides for a first len for note holders similar to that which Is proposed in such a bill as Fowler's, for example. In the re- gort of his recent speech in Chicago, which read, Secretary Shaw did not state whether or not he favored a first lien for the note holder under his plan as against the depositor. The high rate of tax, how- ever, makes the first lien unnecessary for the safety of the Shaw notes. The govern- ment should not guarantee the notes, nor would such a EUATanty be necessary e secretary has presented the only plan upon which it Is possible to unite support It is a measure of great public importance. If coupled with some modification of th Aldrich Bill, increasing the diseretion the secretary in the matter of his ability to aid the community by timely deposits in the banks of governmental cash, 1t will be a very good solution of our present finan- clal problems and put the #ountry in the hest possible shape for any fi al dis turbances which may be before us.
