New York. January 13. The New York Fl- •
nanrler Mya:
“The New Y*»rk bank statement for the
week ending January 13th wan even better,
• han had been expected. The surplus re
stive aimo«t $5 000.000 anti the i
excena above b*»ral requirement* n<»w stands ,
at sl6 707.350. a sum xrvater than the banks
have rvfMirte.l since June 24th last, although
In August the total was almost as high. As
th*- deportt* during the week remained almost
i stationary, the entire cash receipt a of the
week went to swell the Idle cash In the
banka, thus accounting for the unusual ex
pansion. The liquidation that occurred on the
st«<*k «-xrhange |h reflected in the deerease
of 51.588.900 In kians The statement d«»ra
n«»t halan«e. but there is no question that the ,
imsitloti of the banks is even stronger than re- j
1 |»>»rfed. f«»r Interior receipts Increased largely
at the close of the week The gain came al- (
most entirely from the Interior, the exjHirts
of specie to Europe the previous Saturday
counterbalancing treasury receipts. The banks. !
I in fact, are gaining as rapidly In surplus
fhi« month ns was the /»ase a year ago. with ,
th** ex« rdlon that the ex|«fns|on in cash now |
eounts alt««g* ther in surplus reserves, whereas
a year ago reserve liablliths occasion**'! by
the Bonn and de|»osit in< n ase were lac king
from S 3 OOP 000 to $6 000 000 weekly. For
Imt’ince. the fkp'Wdt* < f the banks .hiring the
, month of January l ist rose almost $57,000.-
000 while loans *x| ande.l 523.000.000 The
reserve requirements were, therefore, over SI4.- (
000 000 heavier, but despite this fact the
1 surplus reserve actually gained $lB 000.000.
Thi< Year so far loans have risen less than
$2 000.000 d» |H sits only a little over $9 000,-
000. « 56 '
000.000 h« a Vi. r. The expansion, therefore,

in this ceniM-eti* n that the banks last l»eeeni

l as has l»een the ease lately. These facts go

PENNSYLVANIA MILLIONAIRE
SENDS CHECK TO TECH.
Relieves a Situation the Late Georgia

vide Funds For.
Pittsburg, Pa., January 9.—Cap
tain Lyman Hall, president Georgia

You can draw on me for $3,500 to

AARON FRENCH.
A;tr< n French, the proniiin nt Pennsyl
vania millionaire who has taken such an
active interest in the progress of the
Georgia School of Technology has made
it possible for the doors of the school to
1«- op. ii.-ti to applicants lor admission to
tile sub-apprentice class.
But for litis generous donation from Mr.
French it would have been impossible for
any applicants to enter the su-b-appren
ti< o <-lass before October Ist, owing- to
the lack of founds for the care <>f a great
er number of students than are ni.w in
that class.
'l ib- gild of Mr. French is a direct result
of tile action of tiie last iegislatur * in
nfu.- ing to .make ;>n apprepriation to n
creasc Um facilities of the school. Inis
action'was tak.-n after a meeting -<f the
board of trustees had decid 'd to admit no
more applicants to the sub-aptrentice
class unless an appropriation was made
for the purpose.
Tints ii is that n Pennsylvanian r.pens
to tit.- young men of Georgia tit-- doors
<d the Georgia School of Technology at
which they would have knocked in vain
until October Ist.
This last gift from .Mr. French causes
the total amount <>f hfs dopati-ms to'
re." h th,- previous sums lieing to
the textile ilep.nrtm.-nt which "hs made
possible through his kindness and which
was named after him when completed.
Tiie announcement of Mr. Fr> m-h’s gift
was received with delight by President
Hall and the m-mb<,s of the board ot
trustees and will enable them to carry
out 'tht-ir original plans ami prevent any
delay in the progress of the school.
’’Tiie following telegram was sent to
Mr. French:
"Aaron Fri-n: it. Pittsburg. Pa.—Tn be

GOVERNOR NI’LAURIN IS SICK.
HAS PNEUMONIA IN BOTH OF
HIS LUNGS.
Physicians Speak Very Doubtfully
About His Recovery—His Term
Expires Tomorrow.
Jackson. Misfl., January 14.—(Special.)—
Governor McLaurin has been confined to
room at the executive mansion for
four days with pneumonia. The disease
has affected both lungs and attending
physicians regard the case as very seri
ous. admitting that his chances for re
covery are rather doubtful. His temper
i attire today has been standing at 104 and
Ihe patient expectorates much blood.
This is the governor's third attack of the
’ disease during the past three years. As
McLaurin's term of office expires Tues
day at noon considerable change Is made
necessary In the arrangements for tho
inauguration, as he will not be able to bo
• present. It had -be. n planned to have
the Inaugural ceremonies In front of the
1 statehouse, Governor-Elect Longlno de
livering his address from a rais.-d plat
form. It is now probable that the cere
-1 monies will take place in the hall of tho
house of representatives. An excellent
* military parade had been planned by Ad
jutant General Henry, which is yet on
1 the programme and will be held unless
■ Governor McLaurin's condition grows
worse during tho next twepty-four hours.
Three regiments of the national guards

.• Mississippi Legislature Deals with
1 the War Revenue.
Jackson. Miss . January 9.—A bill passed
the upper house Os -the legislature this
morning requiring express companies in
towns of 1.900 people and over to deliver
packages to consignees and keep their
offices open from H a. m. to C o’clock p. m.
The most important feature of the bill
was the clause requiring the express com
panies to execute receipts ami affix tho
revenue stamps ther-to.
This is thought to be the first time that
state legislation on war revenue ques
tions h'is bun attempted and the. ex
press companies will probably test the
Jaw in case it secures iinal passage.
Governor-elect Longino urges tiie legis
lature to decide at once whether the
Noel elective judiciary amendnu nt voted
on last fall rect iv. d the required two
thirds majority. He has a large nuni
'i>. r of judiciary appointments to make
immediat- iv after taking the office next
Tuesday, aiul they will have to hold up
till the question is decided. A bill pro
viding for a uniform system of books
was introduced at the morning session.
