SCDRES SEATO-SEA CUB
IUT0 CUT-OUTS
Says Clearing Houses May Im
press Democrats That They Err
in Not Heeding Bankers.
Roh^rt F. Maddox declared Friday
that Congress Is misled if It believes
the Chicago conference of bankers
did not represent accurately the views
of the rank and file of the bankers of
the United States, and the clearing
houses all over the country are likely
to make thia plain to the Democrats,
who seem bound to push the Owen-
Glass currency bill through unamend
ed.
Mr. Maddox, vice president of the
American National Bank and a mem
ber of the committee from the Amer
ican Bankers' Association, which will
seek radical amendments to the pres
ent currency bill by appearing before
the Congres.'iional committees, be
lieves the action of the Democratic
caucus yesterday unreasonable. The
caucus of the House pledged itself to
support the bill without further
changes.
"It has been understood," said Mr.
Maddox, "that those in charge of the
currency bill in the House did not
wish to hear from the bankers and
business men of the country, notwith
standing their vital Interest in the
measure. From repeated statements
in the paper It seems the Democratic
caucus will carry out its purpose of
forcing the Owen-Glass bill through
the House.
"I feel sure that the action of the
convention of bankers in Chicago was
a fair representation of the view of
bankers* in general throughout the
United States, although from Wash
ington dispatches it seems to be as
sorted that this conference did not
represent the rank and file of bankers
of the nation.
"I would not be surprised to see the
clearing houses all over the United
States take up active discussion of I
this bill, and 1 believe when their ac
tion upon the bill is taken it will
prove to the Administration that the
bankers and business men are almost
unanimously dissatisfied with the
currency bill as it stands approved by
the House caucus, and it will prove
that the suggested amendments of
the Chicago convention would mate
rially improve the bill and benefit the
nation.
"One encouraging sign is that the
caucus did agree to lengthen the term
of farm loans to one year, which was
one of the suggestions of the Chicago
conference."
Democrats Caucus on
Currency Bill Again.
WASHINGTON, An*. 29—The
Democratic caucus of the House held
another session to-day, chiefly for the
purpose of allowing some members to
‘explain" why they voted for the
Glass hill. Representative Underwood.
Democratic leader, was confident tnat
the bill would be put through by the
end of next week.
Republicans of the House had not
decided to-day what attitude they
would take toward the currency blil,
which goes to-day to the House bear
ing the indorsement of the Demo
cratic caucus, which ndded two
amendments Thursday.
One changes the requirement as to
reserves, turning loose more money
for circulation. The other extends
from nine to twelve months the time
that loans on farm lands may run.
This was adopted by 119 to 63.
The bill, after nearly three weeks
of discussion, was approved by the
caucus by a vote of 163 to 9. The
nine dissenters were Representatives
Henry, Kagle and Callaway, of Texas;
Hardwick, of Georgia; lx»beck, of Ne
braska; Buchanan and Fowler, of Il
linois; Neeley, of Kansas, and Sisson,
of Mississippi.
After agreeing to the bill, the cau
cus adopted a resolution by almost
unanimous vote, declaring the bill to
be a party measure and that "mem
bers of this caucus are pledged for
the bill to its final passage without
amendment, provided, however, the
Banking and Currency Committee
may offer amendments in the House."
Glass Sums Up Measure.
The measure as it stands after
adoption by the caucus is summed up
by Chairman Glass, who piloted it
through the caucus, as follows:
“The bill establishes twelve region
al reserve banks, with a capital of
not less than $5,000,000 each, to which
national banks are required to con
tribute an amount equal to 10 per.
cent of their own capital stock and
to become liable for an additonal 10
per cent in case of call.
"Over the whole system of region
al reserve banks is to be a Federal
reserve board consisting of seven
members.
“The measure provides an advisory
council of bankers without actual
To Refund 2 Per Cent Bonds.
"One important provision is for the
gradual refunding, for a period of
twenty years, of the United States 2
per cent bonds into 3 per cent G^v- I
ernment bonds without t’ e circula- I
tion privilege. This will mean the !
eventual retirement of national bank j
notes.
“The notable reserve feature of the I
bill contemplates a reduction of the
reserve requirements of reserve and '
central reserve cities from 25 to 18 I
per cent and of all country hanks
from 15 titi.2 per cent.
I 4 NatiofljK banks are compelled to

penalty of forfeiture of charters,

Pathfinder Ferguson Declares the
Roads on Gulf Riviera Are Sur
prisingly Well Made.
E. L. Ferguson. The Sunday Ameri
can pathfinder for the all-Southern
coast-to-coast highway, left Poplar-
ville, Miss., Friday morning on the
last leg of the hike from Mobile to j
New Orleans. The party will reach j
the Crescent City shortly before noon
Saturday, according to the present
schedule.
Contrary to all expec tations Mr ;
Ferguson found the roads between )
Mobile and New Orleans far better j
than they had been reported. One
stretch, "right on the very edge of i
the Gulf," according to the dispatch, '
was as good road as any that the
transcontinental car has traversed
since leaving Atlanta.
Ah first in Georgia and then in Ala
bama, too, the receptions and cele
brations given in honor of the path
finders in Mississippi have been of a
royal nature. I saving Mobile Wed
nesday the tourists drove direct to
Pascagoula, where a hearty ovation |
was extended by a delegation of
prominent citizens, who escorted the
party through the city to the river '
ferry.
At Ocean Springs, the stopping j
place Wednesday night, a similar 1
demonstration was given. Citizens
of Biloxi, Mississippi City, Gulfport |
and Pass Christian also manifested
much enthusiasm in
way project.
Mr. Ferguson and party will pass
through Bogalusa, Covington and
Abita Springs Friday, spending the
night at Mandeville, La., preparatory
to taking the ferry for New Orleans
early Saturday morning.

The Cut Out of a motor car is a Noisy Nuisance used by a
certain class of motorists to make a 16-candlepower engine sound
like a Regular Racer.
It is popularly supposed to increase the power of the motor
15 to 25 per cent by letting it breathe audibly.
It does not do that, or anything like it.
Any gas engineer will tell you so.
If your engine is a regular engine, it will pull all you want
it to with the Soft Pedal applied, in the city or out of it.
If your engine isn’t a regular engine, unmuzzling the ex.
haust won’t help it.
What it WILL do, however, is to wake up honest people
who are asleep, and make the thin hold on life a burden to sick
people, and frighten pedestrians into spasms and horses into
fits and make your car generally an obnoxious and lawbreaking
nuisance.
There are other things, of course, but these are enough.
You recall the Emperor Napoleon in one of his battles send
ing for the captain of the artillery and demanding to know why
he had ceased firing.
“Sire,” replied the officer, “I have eleven reasons for ceas
ing fire.”
“State them,” commanded the Emperor.
“My first reason,” the officer replied, “is that I have no
more powder.”
Well, you needn’t mention the other reasons,” rejoined the
Emperor, or words to that effect.
There might be a dozen good reasons why mufflers should
perform their office of muffling gatling-gun exhausts within the
corporate limits of Atlanta.
Most likely there are all of a dozen reasons.
But if one of those reasons is that the cut-out is against
the Law—
Well, you needn’t mention the other reasons.
Cut out the Cut-out.

Baby Is Owner of
$40,000 Mine Claim
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Baby Catheryn
Mulcalre, of Rosemort, Ill., is an heir
ess and the owner of a mining claim
in Alaska. It happened this way:
Thirteen years ago in New Orleans
Howard Mulcalre married Ellen Ri
ley, sister of James B. Riley, of Oma
ha. Mulcalre and his bride moved to
Illinois and Riley went to the Klon
dike.
Five months before Baby Catheryn
appeared Howard Mulcalre died. Riley
also died recently and left a $40,000
mining claim to "Howard Mulcalre or
his offspring."
Strong impetus was given the
movement to stop the terrible noise
In the city from cutting out auto
mobile mufflers by an interview' Fri
day by Councilman A. R. Colcord,
chairman of the Council Police Com

tion to the police department to stop
this nuisance, and Chairman Colcord
said he was confident he was sup
ported in his position by the entire
Council.
"We passed a law against this pub
lic disturbance and for a time It sub
sided," said Councilman Colcord.
“There was no reason for the police
to have ever let up.
"I don’t blame the business people
of the town for protesting against the
action of persons who dart back and
forth through the streets so unmind
ful of the comfort and interests of
others that they seem to tfiink the

Wife Too Active for

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—Proof that won
ders never cease was contained in a
bill for divorce filed by Erm Harold Ma
son, a moving picture scenario writer.
"Too much action," was the burden
of his complaint.
Judging by the bill of particulars. Mrs.
Mason has supplied enough action dur
ing the eight year of their married life
to fill a million feet of picture film
even then they should be careful not
to disturb any one’s sleep. It is
foolish and useless to cut out muf
flers on the paved city streets and,
what Is more, It Is against the law.
'T am glad to see an agitation to
stop it. I think satisfactory results
will be secured without much ado."
Chief Beavers' determination to
stop the nuisance, backed up by the
Council, means immediate and con
certed action. Through indifference
the law was allowed tc- fall into dis
use, but the general opinion is that
its revival will mean a more rigid
enforcement than ever.

BONITA VAUDEVILLE
PLEASES PATRONS;
EXCELLENT BILL
Counterfeits.
Read what one of the GREATEST NEWSPAPERS IN AMERICA has to
say on this subject:
“ The manufacturers of Castoria have been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the public with the signature of Chas. H. Pletcher.
This has been necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trade
mark. This counterfeiting is a crime not only against the proprietors of Castoria,
but against the growing generation. All persons should be careful to see that
Castoria bears the signature of Chas. H. Pletcher, if they would guard the health
of their children. Parents, and mothers in particular, ought to carefully examine
the Castoria advertisements which have been appearing in this paper, and to re
member that the wrapper of every bottle of genuine Castoria bears the fac-simile
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whosa supervision it has been manufactured
continuously for over thirty years—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Letters from Prominent Druggists
- addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Conger Bros, of St. Paul, Minn., say: “Fletcher’s Castoria Is certainly
full of merit and worthy of recommendation.”
C. O. A. Loder, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “For 20 years wa hare sold
Fletcher's Castoria and are pleased to state that It has given universal
satisfaction.”
The Scholtz Drug Co., of DerSfr, Colo., says: “Fletcher’s Castoria has
surely become a household word. Seemingly every family where there
are children uses It.”
Hoagland 4 Mansfield, of Boston, Mass., say: "We have nothing but
good to say about your Castoria and we do not hesitate to give it our
onquallfied endorsement.” v
Hiker's Drug Stores, of New York City, say: "Fletcher’s Castoria Is one
of the oldest and most popular preparations In our stores. We have
nothing but good to say about It.”
Wolff-Wilson Drug Co., of St Louis, Mo., says: “Of the thousands of
patent medicines for which we have demand there are a very few of
them that we can conscientiously recommend and your Castoria Is In
cluded In this few.”
D. R. Dyche & Co., of Chicago, Ills., say: “The Increasing demand for
your Castoria shows that a. discriminating public Is not slow to seek
out a remedy of merit and once convinced that It does all and even
more than claimed they do not hesitate to recommend It to their friends.”
The Owl Drug Co., of San Francisco, Cal., says: "We have always
been a believer in the ‘original man protection' and have been particular
never to sell anything but the genuine and original Castoria (Fletcher’s).
We have many calls every day for this article from people who say they
would not be without it In their homes.”
