TOabiUty of strengthening the
Pacific coast defenses was discuss
ed today, while the Thompson
anti-alien land bill awaited its
reading and final passage in the
senate.
The legislature is openly dis
cussing war with Japan since it
is an assured fact that the bill
which President Wilson said was
unfriendly to the Nippon nation

member of the legislature seems
to favor strengthening the de
fenses and navy of the Pacific
coast.

Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Lanier,
charged with the murder of an in
fant boy, has left many in doubt
as to just what will develop when
the ease gets an airing next week
before the grand jury.
There have been several rumors
in connection with this case, some
of them of a very sensational na
ture, and (he outcome of the
probe the grand jury will make
is awaited with more than usual
interest.
Mrs. Lanier, since she wai
taken to the county jail, has re-
gained her usual health and
strength and does not seem ito feel
her confinement at all. Neither
she nor her hnsband have made
any statement whatever ■

were not " guilty and the inM
gation of the ease would a!

(they are not guilty the question

that a negro woman who was la

Today the services of the city
dog catcher came to an end so
far as the city ia concerned.
When -the dog ordinance was
passed it was intimated that a
dog catcher would not be requir
ed for more than a month or two
until people were aware of the
provisions of the dog ordinance
nnd made tn observe the law.
In future the members of tho
police department will enforce
the dog ordinance and will
therefore give the eity about ten
dog lew enforceri in place of the
one heretofore employed. The
idea has gotten around today that
when the city let ita official dog
catcher go the ordinance would
no longer be enforced. This ia
a mistake is dogs fonnd without
muzzles will be handled just as if
the eity had a man employed for
the specific purpoee of arresting
the bad dogs.

TWO PER CENT

BIG CHANGE IN THE FISCAL
SYSTEM IS HADE BY THE
SECRETARY OF TREAS
URY.
Washington. D. 0., May 1—The
fiaenl system of the United States
governing deposits of federal
funds in national banka was revo
lutionized yesterday by Secretary
McAdou of the Treasury Depart
ment, with the announcement
that all government depositories,
whether netivo or innetlvc, wonld
be required to pay interest at the
rnto of 2 por cent per anqum, be
ginning June 1, upon deposits of
the government.
Simultaneously with this adtion
the Secretary authorized the Im
mediate increase of $10,000,000
of government deposits in the na
tional bonks, making, the total
$52,64!),964, from which the fed
eral treasury will earn under the
new in tore*! order $1,053,000 an
nually. There are indications that
Secretary IfuAdoo jqtepda to re
lease still more surplus money
from the treasury vaqKs and
place it iu general circulation
through increased deposit* with
the national hank*. .
In a statement last night be
said:

tional banks, thereby increasing

the volume of money in circula
tion end to that ezltent reducing
the amount locked up in the
treasury.”
Mr. McAdoo also announced a
radical change in the character
of securities which the* Treasury
Department would accept for
govommenft deposits. Instead of
requiring that (he national banka
secure Treasury deposits exclu
sively with United States or pro
vincial government bonds, they
will be allowed in fntnre to se
cure 70 per cent with government
bonds end She remaining 30 per
