THE TWICE-A-WEEK TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1907.
Secretary Cortelyou An
nounces Further Indul
gence of Loaua to
Banks
WASHINGTON'. March 13.—The
secretary of the treasury today an
nounced that the 130.000,000 which was
deposited in national banks, the laRt
of September, to be returned about the
beginning of February 1, will not or
called for at present. Beyond saying
that he was keeping a close watch on
the financial situation In New York
Secretary Cortelyou would not indi
cate what his further plans were. The
official statement of Secretary Cortel
you Is as follows:
Cortelyou’a Announcement.
"The secretary of the treasury an
nounced this afternoon that It Is no'
tils Intention to nx ai present a date
upon which the thirty millions addi
tional deposits placed with existing
depositary banks, secured by State,
municipal and railroad bonds, under
the terms of the press announcement
of September 27, 1*06. shall be re
turned to the treasury."
On October 22 last, the secretary of
the treasury authorized national banks
that had Government bonds on deposit
to secure public deposits to substitute
for the Government bonds. State and
municipal bonds provided they would
use the Government bonds so release!
to Increase their circulation. Eighteen
million dollars wo« fixed as the limit
of this increase. The secretary pro
vided, however, that this Increased cir
culation must he reduced at the rate
of three million a month, beginning
on the first of March. In view of the
money situation In New York Secre
tary Cortelyou thinks that it Is unwise
to compel a compliance with this or
der end therefore has staled that the
banks that took advantage of this of
fer of October 22 may retain their in
creased circulation provided they sub
stitute certain bonds which he names,
for the Plate and municipal bonds
they how have on deposit. The bonds
authorized to he substituted are Gov
ernments, Philippines, Panama and
Hawaiian bonds.

TOULON, March 13 —The efforts to
recover the bodies of those killed by
the explosion on board the French
battleship Iena here yesterday, which
have been carried on with energy for
twenty-four hours, have not yet result
ed In definitely fixing the number of
casualties. After the last roll call to
night there were still unaccounted for,
eight officers and one hundred and ten
men. Unfortunately there Is little
doubt that all these missing men per

to ^ the crew of the Iena, but as It
Is believed some twelve or fifteen ar

the battleship at the time of the ex

ATLANTA, March 14.—There was
only a little preliminary spat ring be-
from th ’ Railroad Commission Wed
nesday, upon queston of condition of
the physical property of the Georgia
Railroad, regarding safety of travel
upon it, after which the commission
definitely set the date for hearing upon
the issues involved in the complaint of
Bowdre Phinizv, upon Wednesday next.
March 20.
This was. in the main, satisfactory
to both sides, except that Mr. Phinizy
and his counsel, Austin Branch, of Au :
gusta. thought the commission should
proceed at once to the selection of an
expert to make an investigation as to
the facts alleged and secure a report
without further delay.
The commission, however, while de
claring its purpose to make the fullest
and fairest possible investigation of
the railroad's property, thought the is

ICE EXCHAN0E WILL
NOT FORM A TRUST
ATLANTA, March 13.—The propo
sition considered by the Southern ice
exchange at its annual convention here
today to form a combination for the
orneflt of the trade In Southern States
was defeated, eni no effort will be
made, according to the decision, to
raise prices or fix uniform rates. Tho
reasons which brought this decision
were that legU'atloa and put-ic -en-
ttm»nt are t-.. 0 strong against combi
nations In the South; that condition*
affecting manufacture vary too much
in different communities, and whac
would be a reasonable price In one
place would bo loo low In another,
and that maiufaetu.vrs refusing to
enter the combination, would make it
impossible to maintain prices.
The anti-trust leg's'atlon In the
Southern States were diicuswed at
length and severa y *rit!j*sed, altnougn
its effectiveness was tacitly admitted
by the action of the exchange today.
The convention will cone ude its ses
sions tomorrow.
EATOXTON, Ga„ March 13.—An
alarm of fire was turned in Tuesday
at 11 o’clock from the Putnam Oil and

in the seed room, and a considerable
quantity of hulls were destroyed.
Prompt work by the fire department
and hook and ladder company saved
the building.

DR. NICK MURRAY BUTLER
SAYS ROOSEVELT WON'T RUN.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 13.—
In an interview here Dr. Nicholas Mur
ray BUtler, president of Columbia
University, said: “President Roosevelt
will not run for President again, no
matter what pressure is brought to
bear upon him. The principles for
which Roosevelt stands are greater
than the man. The Republican party
must support these principles, no mat
ter who its standard-bearer may be, at
the next election. With Mr. Root as
President, and Mr. Taft chief justice
of the Supreme Court, conditions
would be pretty nearly- ideal. But I
hardly look for such « combination to
succeed.”

LEAVENWORTH. Kas.. March 13.—
Judge Pollock of the United States
District Court today denied the appli
cation for a writ of habeas corpus in
the case of ex-Ca.pt. Geo. H. Kirk-
man. Kirkrr.an contended that his two
sentences were concurrent, while the
War Department held that they were
cumulative. Kirkman still has seven
month to serve in the Federal prison
at Fort Leavenworth. Judge J. C. Pol
lock. in his decision, dismissing tho
habeas corpus proceeding says:
"I am fully convinced that since he
became an officer of the army engaged
in the service of this country, he is no:
entitled to Insist on the rules of law-
applicable to sentences imposed by the
civil courts of his country in the exer
cise of their criminal jurisdiction which
