Bill Goes to House at Once With
Clause Cutting Reserves, En
lacing Circulation.
Washington, aur. 29—The a<i-
minimratlun currency bill goes to-day
to the House bearing the indorsement
of the Democratic caucus, which add
ed two amendments to the measure.
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.
The provision permitting national
banks to loan money on farm lands.
This was adopted by 119 to 63.
The bill, after nearly threi^fcveaka
of discussion, was approved by the
caucus by a vote of 163 to 9 The
nine dissenters were Representatives
Henry. Eagle and Callaway, of Texas;
Hardwick, of Georgia; Lobeok, <»f Ne
braska; Buchanan and Fowler, of Il
linois; Neely, 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 hill to its final passage without
amendment, provided, however, the
banking and currency committee may
offer amendments in the House."
The measure will be reintroduced
in the House to-day by Chairman
Glass ami referred immediately to the
Banking and Currency Committee,
which will meet next Tuesday
It is expected the bfll at once will
b*» reported hack to the House, which
Mr. Glass predicted would pass it
within ten days, many Republicans
having indicated their purpose to sup
port it.
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 hanks, with a capital of
not less than $5,000,000 each. t<» which
national banks are required to con
tribute an amount equal to I ft per
cent of their own capital stock and
to become lialde for an addltonal 10
per cent in case of call. This, it is
estimated, will give the regional re
serve hanks a combined paid up capi
tal of $105,000,000. These regional
reserve banks also are made custo
dians of a large part of the reserve
money of member hanks, estimated at
approximately $10,000,000 in the ag
gregate. They also receive the Gov
ernment deposits, estimated at from
$150,000,000 to $250,000,000.
“Over the whole system of region
al reserve banks is to be a Federal
reserve board consisting of seven
members. This board is given pow
er* of supervision, examination and
control.
“The measure provides an advisory
council of hankers without actual
power composed of one member from
each of the twelve regional reserve
districts
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 Gov
ernment bonds without the circula
tion privilege. This will mean the
eventual retirement of national bank
notes. The circulation privilege will
thus revert to the Government itself,
issuing through the regional reserve
hanks on a gold reserve of 33 1-3 per
cent to he provided by the hanks
“The notable reserve feature of the
hill contemplates a reduction of the
reserve requirements of reserve and
central reserve cities from 25 to 18
per cent and of all country banks
from 15 to 12 per cent. The Federal
reserve board is required to establish
a graduated tax on the amounts by
which hanks may he permitted to fall
below reserve requirements, such tax
to be uniform in its application to all
banks.
“National hanks are compelled to
become members of the system under
penalty of forfeiture of charters,
while State hanks are permitted to
become members under regulations of
the Federal reserve board."

Late Count Hayashi’s Diary Says
Great Britain Wanted Alliance
Against France and Russia.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Aug. 29.—The revelation
that the diplomatic negotiations whicn
finally resulted in the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance first contemplated an Anglo-
Gerinan-Japanese Triple Alliance and
that Germany was largely instrumen
tal In starting them, but was shut out
by Japan, is made in the diary of the
late Count Tadasu Hayashi, ex-Jap
anese Ambassador to Great Britain
and twice Foreign Minister, part of
which was recently published.
The Jiji Shimpo of Toklo printed
portions of the diary, but the Japan
ese Government prohibited further
publication, and the Censor sup
pressed telegrams sent by foreign
correspondents in Japan giving de
tails of the statements.
The diary phows the British Gov
ernment. under the Premiership of the
late Marquis of Salisbury was »n
favor of the Inclusion of Germany
in the alliance, but that Japan op
posed it.
Count Hayashi, in order to bring
about the Anglo-Jananese Alliance,
hinted that Japan was ready to ally
herself with Russia if Great Britain
were unwilling to become her ally.
According to the diary, Baron Her
mann con Eckhardstein, at the time
C’harge d’Affaires of thq German Em
bassy in London, made several visits
to Count Hayjtahi in the spring of
1901.
Count Hayashi approached I-ord
Lansdovvne, then Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an
Anglo-Japanese agreement on a pol
icy in China. Lord Lansdowne said
he thought a third power should be
included.
Japan suggested that a third party
Mhoulri be omitted from the alliance
because Anglo-Japanese interests
were identical. Great Britain, how
ever, for some time clung to the idea
of a triple alliance according to Count
Hayashi. as she was anxious for an
alliance Germany in order to isolat*
the Franco-Russian alliance.
The continuation of the diarv,
which might have shown why Coun*
Hayashi opposed the
Germany, has
Cut Out the Muffler Cut=0ut
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—

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

this nuisance, and Chairman Colcord
said he was confident he was sup

Council.
"We passed a law against this pub
lic disturbance and for a time it sub

“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

McKenzies Get Order Restraining
Randall Heirs From Mining in
Residence Subdivision.
A temporary injunction restraining
the heirs of P. H Randall from min
ing in the residence subdivision in
Northern Fulton County, which is now
bring marketed by William M. Mc
Kenzie ami George M. McKenzie, was
granted late Thursday by Judge
George L. Bell.
The injunction was obtained to es
tablish that the McKenzies have a
clear title to the land, doubt having
arisen because of an old deed which
kept for the Randall heirs a right to
one-half the mineral interests in the
land.
The petition of the McKenzies sets
forth that there are no valuable min
erals in the land, and that the on’y
value in the property lies in its em
ployment for residence purposes The
record of former deeds was destroyed.

ELIHU ROOT HAS COAT OF TAN.
WASHINGTON, Aug 29 — The
finest coat of tan In the Senate to
day adorned the features of Elihu
Root, of New York, to whom his col
leagues gave an impromptu welcome
on his return from a European trip.
An effort will be made by the State
Department of Agriculture to improve
upon the methods of collecting data
regarding the movement and produc
tion of cotton in Georgia, and in this
connection Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture Dan Hughes is working
hard to arrive at some ac-urate sys*
tern of handling the proposition.
“It is our intention to furnish h
weekly report to the farmers through
the press regarding the production
and movement of cotton." said Mr.
Hughes. “We will attempt to obtain
the co-operation of the railroads and
the co-operation of the dealers and
handlers of cotton in the nig inland
markets. By comparison with the
previous year's showing this would
give us a good idea of exact condi
tions.
“We are in communication with Di
rector of the Census W. J. Hands and
expect to obtain much information
and assistance from him. We will
receive regular reports from him as
to the cotton ginned in Georgij,
which we will transmit to the public
