CORTELYOU 11115 FEAB OF TOO MUCH MONEY Refusal to Allot More One Year Certificates Praised by Bankers.

NOTED JURIST IS DYING WESTON IS OVERFED:

WILL BE FUNDS ENOUGH

Even Retirement of $30,000,000 of Bonds in the Spring Will Leave Plenty.

Ex-Judge B. Bradwell Near the Close of His Career.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 28. The action of Secretary Cortelyou in refusing to accept further subscriptions to the

year irrasury oeruiicaifs, lias been received with favor by bankers and other financial experts. This action, they pay, not only indicates that the government thinks the money crisis is passed, but shows the official's efforts to prevent the currency famine from turning into a glut, as was threatened had the full allotment of the emergency issue been made. The officials have not given out the amount of the certificates allotted, but it is thought to have been about $33,000,000. Nearly the whole amount allotted will be used to secure new issues of bank notes, to be retired within a year. This will prevent a permanent inflation of the bank note circulation. (null Gain ?sr.OOO.0OO. The effect of the new loans upon the future of the treasury resources and of the money market is already receiving attention. The amount nominally added to the cash in the treasury will be $85,000,000, of which $50,000,000 will represent the 2 per cent Panama bonds end $35,000,000 will represent the one year certificates. This amount would increase the present nominal balance to a little more than $323,000,000. The national banks, however, hold $234,939, 5S3 of this amount, leaving an actual working balance of $6,463, 62S. The secretary has announced that 90 per cent of the payments for Panama bonds will be left in the custody of the national banks purchasing the bonds, and about 75 per cent of the payments for the one year certificates will be left with the banks. The effect of this will be to increase the amount in banks to $300,000,000 and the working balance to about $22,000,000. Reduction Will lie Kasy. Secretary Cortelyou plans to retire $30,000,000 of the yearly certificates in the spring, thus bringing the deposits in the banks down to $277,500,000, and the cash balance to $15,000,000. It seems probable, however, thnt money market conditions will be such that the secretary can call upon the banks for

considerably more cash than comes to them in rayment for the treasury certificates which are called and surrendered. It is thought it will be easy to reduce deposits in the banks as soon as money market conditions permit. If the treasury can reduce them to $200,000,000 it will have at its command about $100.000,000 as a working balance from which deposits could bo made from time to time if they were required. The net increase in circulation has been increased by $200,000,000 by the government's measures, and this, it is believed by bankers, will be redundant and unnecessary by spring. The policy of the treasury, therefore, will involve the elimination of the bank note circulation and a considerable withdrawal of cash from the banks into the treasury.

Chicago, Nov. 29. Ex-Judge James B Bradwell, one of the most distinguished figures among Chicago's pioneers, is dying at Ins daughter's residence, 142S Michigan avenue. It was stated last night by a member of the family that lie was not expected to live until daybreak. Mr. Bradwell, who is 79 years old. is suffering from kidney trouble aggravated by symptoms of pneumonia and has been confined to the house since a week ago last Tuesday night, wh.-n ho attend. -d th. dinner of the liar association at the Midday club, lb; is umb-r the car" of his grandson, Dr. James I!. Bradwell, jr., and Dr. Charles E. Kahlke. The last report from the residence was that the sufferer's pulse was 117 and his respiration forty-four, lie was breathing with difficulty and had been unconscious since earlv eveninsr. At

the bedside through the nitrht were the

pioneer's son, ex-Justice Thomas Bradwell, and Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Helnier, the latter being his daughter. Mr. Bradwell has made his home at the H.-imer residence since the deatli of his talented wife. Myria, in 1S4. Familiar FiRurr in Chicago. Though the aged man had been grooving visibly feeble during the last two years, his familiar partriarehal figure, with long, silvered hair and beard, often was seen in the downtown district in the management of the Chicago L,egal News, of which he is publisher. lie had suffered from a chronic complaint for nearly a decade and three years ago he underwent an operation, since which time his health has been on the decline. Pioneers and settlers of "old Chicago" need no chronicle of the life of Judge Bradwell, and for the younger generation there are the annual meetings and picnics of the Old Settlers' society at which the striking events in the life of the "sweet singer of the war" are rehearsed with those of his associates and cobuilders of Chicago. James B. Bradwell was born April 1C, 1S2S. at Boughborough. England, and came to this country with his parents when he was 2 years old. The family first settled at 1'tiea. N. Y., and three years later started for the Illinois frontier. They remained for a short time at Jacksonville, 111., and then came to Chicago, then a mere frontier military and trading post. Judge Bradwell often recited the tale of the journey and the first entrance to Chicago.

Washington, I. C. Nov. 27. The completion of the Cuban census has caused a demand from many sources

that a time be fixed at once for the holding of municipal and national elec-

tlons m the island. Officials of the

war and state departments assert that

the problem is not solved by the term

mation of the census enumerations and the tabulation of the returns to form

electoral registration lists.

The provisional governor is disturbed

over the recommendation he must make concerning the time of holding the

elections, ana it appears mat lie can

not expect aid from the various political parties, inasmuch as the leaders hold varying views. Census Doesn't Solve Problem. The taking of the census in Cuba by American methods is recognized on every side as a great and needed work, but in the present instance there is no disguising the fact that it was used as a means of delaying the time when the United States again must surrender the reins of government to the Cubans. It was hoped that by the time the enumeration had been completed an agreement could be reached by the political leaders as to the time of holding the elections and that the United States would be spared the necessity of incurring the enmity of any of the parties. It had been hoped, too. that time

would have healed liiucii ot tne soreness engendered by the revolution against the Palma government and that all parties would become imbued with a desire to hold a peaceable and fair election. "While these hopes have not

been entirely fulfilled, it is true that the United States now occupies a more favorable position in the matter than it did a year ago. No Pleasing All the Cubans. From reports received by Washington officials it appears that there will be dissatisfaction with the result of the election, whatever it is. The only tiling hoped for is that a majority of the best class, s of Cubans will see that the United States is endeavoring to live up to the promise made by President Roosevelt that American troops shall bo withdrawn at

tho earlist practical moment and the I governmental affairs restored to Cubans. Gov. Magoon is not quite ready to say when the elections shall be held. I but it is believed that a date will be j fixed arbitrarily within a year.

Schaefer has made a bet of $1,000 with these men, each taking $100, that they cannot lo the ninety miles inside of sixty hours. Charles J.

New York, Nov. 29. Senator Patrick If McCarren's note for $13,000 in favor of the Borough bank of Brooklyn is missing from the vaults of that institution. The note Is supposed to have disappeared some time between Oct. 25, the day on which the bank suspended, and the day on which Henry A. Powell, the receiver, took charge, or about three weeks later. The papers of the bank during that period were in the custody of a representative of the state banking department. Superintendent Clark Williams said last night that the

loss of the paper has not come to his attention in any way. It is understood, however, that representatives of the department, working in collaboration with the district attorney's office, have searched the bank through and through and obtained no trace of the note. None of the witnesses before the grand jury

could throw any light as to the whereabouts of the missing paper. It is understood that the note still stands as an obligation on the company's books. Senator McCarren has been represented as saying that the note is secured. The "tickler" to the bank's loan book also is missing, and several pages have been torn bodily from the loan look. If in mutilating the book it was the int ntion to destroy evidence of loans made by the bank the job would not be complete unless the "tickler," or index, was also put out of the way. Search made in behalf of the grand jury for this index is as barren of results as was the search for the McCarren note. The McCarren note is entered in the proper manner in the book. It is said the grand Jury's investi

gation into the affairs of the Borough

bank is far from being concluded. It was learned yesterday that all dl

rectors of the Borough bank who are

suspected of having had any knowl

edge of irregular transactions put

through that institution are being

shadowed by detectives.

It was learned yesterday also that

witnesses before the grand jury testi

fied that some men who are most

active now in promoting plans for the

rehabilitation of the bank were the first to withdraw their money when the bank became embarrassed.

Thought That They Will Fertilize the Common Red Clover, Which Gov

ernment is Introducing. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 2S. Some of

the agricultural investigators of the

Philippine islands recently asked the

bureau of entomology at Washington

for some of our native Wimble bees for the purpose of fertilizinn clover in that eauntry.

The bees were procured on W. C.

Ratliff's farm near Cambridge, Ind.,

and on Nov. ", they were shippou

from San Francisco, in charge of two Philippine government "students." The bees were packed in small refriegerator baskets and placed in cold storage as soon as caught. They will be kept in cold storage until they arrive in the Philippines. Thus they were put to sleep in Indiana and will wake up in Manila. Just what they will do over there remains to be seen, but the expectation is that they will fertilize the common red clover, which the government is Introducing into the islands. They may also arouse the barefooted Filipino bay, if ther retain their Hoosier habits. Walter S. Pouder, an authority and expert on bees, says they will go to

work all rlerht in the Philippines and

will not be endangered in transportation. He says he lias known goes to be shipped long distances, and this Philippine shipment will go safely if ordinary care and attention aro used in shipping. These are not the ordinary honey bees, which is a tough specimen of its class.

London, Nov. 2S. The Rev. R. J. Campbell, pastor of the City temple, provoked angry interruptions from his congregation while preaching in the temple today. He asked his hearers if they really believed the story of Christ feeding the multitude in its literal sense. "The feeding of the multitude was not a feeding of the body, but a feeding of the soul with the bread of life." lie said. "It is a beautiful symbol, but the beauty is destroyed and the teaching ruined when it is sought to reduce it to a physical plane." The clerygman was here interrupted by cries of "Xo!" but he asked to' be allowed to continue and his request was granted. He then said: "If Christ came to London he would not be received gladly by his church. He would be regarded as a revolutionary engaged in trying to upset the established order in both the church and state. He would not attempt to per

form the miracle 01 leeamg a multitude in the east end with physical food, but he would strike deep and hard at the causes which make poverty and degradation." The latter part of the sermon was received with applause.

New York, Nov. 28. John Whitley, a retired manufacturer of Brooklyn, who has been many months in search of health, rose from his bed in his apartment on the tenth floor of the Hotel Belleclalr, at Broadway and" West Seventh-seventh street, some time early this morning and shot his wife twice through the head with a revolver. Then he screened her bloody face with a bathrobe, and, climbing out of the window on to a narrow stone ledge that runs about the building, he took a wild plunge into the darkness ten stories down to the hard street pavement below.

Whitley did this thing on the eve of

a comtortaoie little Home iesuvai wnicn

his wife had planned for Thanksgiving. She had bought flowers in the afternoon to cheer the sick man. Nuts and bags of oranges were stowed away in bureau drawers to be brought out as a surprise today, as one hides children's toys on the eve of Christmas. Deep under a pile of her dresses Mrs. Whitley had smuggled away a bottle of fine old port and another of warming cordial which was to crown the holiday feast.

Finds lllue Bur on It was about 3:30 George Preston, a cab blue blur on the street

Preston got off his seat and found a

semblance of a man, horribly distorted, j clad only in blue silk pajamas. i The cabman found Policeman Cavanaugh and the body was removed to the police station. The police, after

communicating with the coroner's office started an investigation. When the night superintendent of the hotel and policemen came to suite 142 on the tenth floor of the hotel tty received no answer to repeated knocking and forced the door. Then they found the body of Mrs. Whitley. The woman was lying near the edge of the bed upon l.?r arm as naturally as if in sleep. There was a bullet wound through her left eye and an

other through her mouth, ranging upward into the brain. Either of the shots would have produced instant death. The bathrobe had been drawn over her face. Plans Tragedy With Deliberation. There are evidences that Whitley had planned his deed. A tag found in his room with the mark of a Broadway gunsmith upon it led the police to discover that on Tuesday Whitley had purchased a revolver and a box of cartridges. Then It was only the day before the tragedy that he requested the manager of the hotel to allow him to remove the apartments he and his wife were occupying on the sixth floor to those on the tenth floor, which were more isolated.

BLAZES UGKUP BEER Two South Side Brewing Establishments Attacked by Big Fires.

Chicago, Nov. 29. Two fierce blazes that called out a quarter of the fire department's apparatus raged for four hours yesterday afternoon in the plants of the Mullen Brewing company and the Tosetti Brewing company at Fortieth and Butler streets. The malthouses of both breweries and their contents were destroyed at an estimated loss of $150,000. Five carloads of barrel beer, 7,000 cases of bottled goods and 20,000 bushels of malt were destroyed. Thirty-three fire engines and three hook and ladder trucks responded to a "four-eleven" call and five special alarms. One engine company went t the lire from Sheffield avenue, eight miles away, and apparatus came from far distant stations on the west and south sides. Stops Ciller Dinner. Fire Marshal Horan cut short his

Thanksgiving dinner and took personal charge of the fight against what threat- j

ened for a while to become a conflagration. The fire was discovered in the malthouse of the Mullen Brewing company shortly after 1 o'clock by a watchman, who turned in an alarm. It is said that paint and other inflammables were stored in the building. The structure was burning fiercely when the firemen arrived. To get streams on the fire it was necessary to drag leads of hose over the elevated tracks of the Chicago Junction railway on the south. Firebrands were borne high into the air by the swirl of the flames and carried eastward by the wind. At the plant of the Standard Slaughtering

company, loO teet east, employes saved

the buildings and fifty head of cattle by forming a bucket brigade, and keeping the roofs drenched.

Second Fire Starts. Sparks traveled 400 feet across the

Chicago Junction and South Elevated

tracks and ignited the shingle roof of the Tosetti malthouse. Chris Malle, brewmaster, and a gang of workmen fought the fire with brewery apparatus until the firemen could drag hose lines to the top of the brewhouse and adjacent buildings. A score of firemen narrowly escaped injury when a big section of the malt-

house wall fell. Twenty thousand bushels of malt and two cars of meal

were consumed. Otto L. Tosetti said the total loss to his firm would be about $75,000, fully insured. The damage to the Mullen establishment is placed at an equal figure. The City Railway company's tracks on Thirty-ninth and Wallace streets were blocked all afternoon by the fire engines.

Telephone orders promptly attended to. Goods delivered to all parts of the city. Deliveries to East Chicago, and Hegewisch, if received before 11 a. m.

Taris, Not. 23. Official advices from Oran, Algeria, declare a portion of the Moroccan army invaded Algeria yesterday and fierce fighting with the French Garrison at Bab-el-Rassa resulted. Under a galling fire the French force, which was inadequate to cope with the enemy, retreated slowly after a long and determined struggle. They were finally reinforced by reserves that had been ordered up from Oudja and Nemours, and then began a vigorous assault upon the Arabs, who fell back to the Moroccan hills.

Although the trouble in western Morocco is now confined to native strife between Abd-el-Aziz, the sultan of record, ami Mulai Hand, the sultan of the south, the powerful Benls Nassen tribe has suddenly broken out in the northeast, and even daringly invaded the French colony in Algeria, several thousand Moors having crossed the frontier.
