LITTLE AFFECT HERE

Big Wall Street Bankers Try ins to Kill Bill, He Says.

"Ti. !! w currency mfasurc, which IlAs passed the house, will not affect Richmond banks and will he a positive preventative of panics," said President A. D. Gayle, of the First National bank, who has just returned from a convention ot tne American Hankers' association at Boston, Mas?. Most of the time was taken up by the body discussing the bill. Mr. Gayle Raid, as an organization, the hankers were opposed to the measure, although many individuals favored it. The provisions, he said, were a direct blow at Wall street and the larger city banks. These men, whose interests it would injure, oppose the currency reform, and had sufficient, power to dictate the policy" of the whole organization. The effect upon the amount of business done by local banks would not be perceptible either way, Mr. Gayle believes, after hearing the measure discussed from all angles. The only thing would be the necessity of changing some of the methods now used. Reserve in Small Banks. The bill, he said, was intended to prevent, the accumulation of capital in the Wall Street banks, and would keep the reserve of the smaller banks in the district in which the money circulates. Instead of the complicated system of handling reserves which in the past has cnused money to drift to New Yorw, it will be kept in the Federal Reserve banks. Twelve districts are provided for tvith a reserve bank in each district, from which other banks may obtain : emergency currency by giving "short time commercial notes." The currency which is issued in return of this collateral is backed first by the bank issuing, it, then by the Federal Reserve bank, and finally by he United States government itself. Loans On Real Estate. A reserve board of seven men including the secretary of the treasury, the controller and his secretary and four other men to be appointed by the president. The bankers' opposition to the bill, Mr. Gayle said, was based upon this provision. They claim they will not be represented on the board, which will control the banks, and the currency. Two other features, he said, were included in the bill. National banks will be allowed to lend a certain reasonable amount on real estate. This will probably be restricted to a certain amount of the banks capital. State banks will be admitted to the benefits of the reserve banks if they pass the examinations to which the national banks submit.

To be so popular that you don't have to pay your hotel bills is the happy lot in whwich Kdmund Rostand, the poet and playwright finds himself. Thes ecret was given away by Jules Ilernard, the Paris corrsepondent of the Giornale d'ltalia, who writes, that when the first night of "Cliantecler" was on, he managed to secure employment at the Majestic hotel where M. and Mme. Rostand were staying. He declares that not only were the dramatist and his family lodged and baarded for nothing, but that M. Rostand received 150 francs a day for attracting patrons to the hotel by his presence there. M. Rostand was asked if this statement was true but he would not contradict it. It is said that a hotel keeper at Campiegne gave free lodging and board to the elder Dumas on condition that he would 'show himself" once a day.

NEW PARIS, O . Oct. 16. William ; Howard Wolf, three-year-oid son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wolf died Wednesday of scarlet fever, this being the second member of the family to die from the dread disease in one day. The five-year-old daughter, Alice Louise, who died at 8:30 Wednesday morning was buried about eight o'clock the same evening and the boy died at eleven o'clock. The parents are almost prostrated with grief. On account of the quarantine, they are shut off from their friends and neighbors and are forced to perform all the offices of caring for the sick children and preparing them for burial themselves, excepting for the help of the undertaker. Mrs. Michael N'octon, mother of Mrs. Wolf arrived last evening from Fountain I'ity to assist in the care of the six-year-old daughter, who is also afflicted with the disease, but is apparently improving. By the rigid quarantine enforced by tiie health officers, th edisease has been kept from spreading. The body of the boy was buried at ten o'clock this morning. :

FEW DEMOCRATS BOLT

City

Committee Finds That Rumor Is False.

Old French In Official England. One may not be Ignorant, perhaps, that French, old French, remains as the language used in certain royal proclamations in England. So when "the king's assent" is given before the throne in "the painted chamber" the clerk cries in the language of our father, "Le roy le veult." ("the king so pleaaos"). If the bill thnt he is asked to approve is a money bill the clerk adds after a profound obeisance. "The king thanks his good ubjects. accepts their benevolence and Is pleased." The proclamation on ascending the throne is preceded by the traditional call of the French heralds of former times, "Oyez, oyez, oyez!" Alas, that time has disfigured this old world of our country, and today the phlegmatic English herald cries tbrice to the people: "Oh. yes: Oh, yea! Oh. yes!" Crl do Paris.

After an investigation it was reported at the meeting of the Democratic city committee last night that the rumor to the effect that Democrats were bolting their ticket on account of personal feelings or disapproval of the candidates, was without foundation and that only three Democrats have bolted the ticket. Democrats have established headquarters in the Hittle block until after the election. Last night the first meeting was held in the new headquarters. George Bayer was appointed Democratic election commissioner. General plans for the election board for each precinct were outlined but nothing tentative was accomplished.
