CHECKS AS CURRENCY.
Will Be Issued in Small Denomina
tions In Pittsburg Where Payroll
Amounts to $1,000,000 a Day.
Pittsburg, Pa. Tho Pittsburg clear
ing house committee Friday night an
nounced the details of a plan upon
which it has been working for some
days, whereby tho vast industrial army
of the Pittsburg district Is to bo paid
In bank checks of small denominations
in lieu of currency. The object sought
to bo attained by the action Is to In
sure the steady operation of all mills
and factories in the district during the
existing money stringency and to con
tinue the present unequaled prosperity.
The payroll of the Pittsburg district
now exceeds $1,000,000 a day and is
fast growing and the belief of the
bnnkers Is that this plan will keep
many thousands of workingnien In
steady employment who might other
wise be denied work this winter.
The plan, which has met with the
unanimous approval of bankers, mer
chants and manufacturers, has been
thoroughly systematized and will be
come general at once. It Is made
necessary by the fact that clearing
louse associations of other cities, es
pecially New York, havo prevented
tho return of currency from those
points to Pittsburg and the Idea of
Pittsburg manufacturers and mer
chants, shopkeepers and workingnien
s'to protect themselves against this
policy of other cities.
No Stringency in France.
Paris, France. The week end llnan
cial articles, which, on the account of
the holidays were published Friday,
continued to bo absorbed in the Amer
lean situation and the world-wide
monetary stringency. Tho concensus
of opinion is that, the storm is too
general to subside quickly and much
fcctlitation is expressed over France's
strong position in the present crisis.
While every exchange In Europe Is
feeling tho squeeze in money and
many have been compelled to raise
their bank rates of discount, the rate
of the bank of Franco remains at
3V& per cent, and money is so plenti
ful that It was loaned privately Thurs
day at 2V1 per cent.
Dalton's Parole Extended.
Topeka, Kan. Gov. Hoch's private
secretary announced Friday night
that tho four months' parole of Em-
mot Dalton had been oxtendod for six
days. Dalton, who wns sent up for

bank robbery, returned to tho prison
Thursday oxpecting to resume Hfo as
a convict, after a respito long enough
to havo an operation on his right arm,
which was injured during tho bank
raid and which nover properly healed.
Gov. Hoch's action in extending tho
parolo is taken to moan that Dalton
will got a pardon.

A Now York November 4 dispatch
says: Last week was given ovor to
tho work of rehabilitation of financial
conditions and much progress wns
made, although there remained many
elements of disorder in the situation
owing to the dislocation of exchange
facilities In tho money and commer
cial markets. This was lnevltablo
from the shock of the preceding
weeks even In New York. Rut tho
situation has been well In hand and
success was mot 'in limiting the rates
of the disturbances In the initiation
of measures to insure correction and
settlement. Of the most vital was
the largo amount of gold secured from
foreign countries for Importation, now
afloat towards New York. Tho gold
engagements have reached the neigh
borhood of $30,000,000 and this week
this broad stream will flow In to New
York banks. The feeling that this
great supply was onrouto has dono
much to fortify confidence but the
actual reviving effect on banking and
money operations waits the arrival
of the gold. Meantime the example
set .by New York In the adoption of
clearing house certificates for tho
payment of balances between tho
banks has been followed in the great
money centers and has safeguarded
the banks. Further Important rellof
is looked for from tho facilities ox-
tended, by the comptroller of tho cur
rency for the increased bank note cir
culation. Government bonds aro made avail
able as security to take out additional
bank notes and this will afford largely
increased resources for supplying the
urgent requirements for currency
which forms one of the severest trials
of tho situation. The conditions which
had to be met in the recent crisis
havo given a strong impetus to the
movement for providing increased
currency and is expected lo induco
early action by congress to authorize
new forms of bank note issues. The
experience of the country in a period
of high prosperity and active business
and industry, and with the banking
position sound and solvent, In coming
almost to a deadlock for lack of
means to make banking resources
quickly available for the needs of tho
circulation, has made a deep impres
sion in calculating tho needs of an
emergency circulation which can ex
pand quickly in time of need.
In another direction it is practic
ally certain that measures of correc
tion will be adopted for tho trust
companies' position in New York
which is now seen to havo proved the
weak link in the financial chain.
Here again tho solvency of Institu
tions did not avail to meet sudden de
mands of depositors without rocourse
to the banks for assistance, tho as
sistance thus rendered proving tho
strain that precipitated the crisis.
Highwayman's Bold Work.
A November 3 dispatch from Fres
co tt, Arizona, says: A lone highway
man with a knife, last night, entered
five hotels in this city, fatally
wounded ono guest who offered resist
ance, and made his escape after rob
bing a score of people encountered

man first made his appearance in tho
Schurman hotel, where he was dis
covered by Robert Lutely. Tho latter
teslBted when the robber made do-
mnnds for his valuables, and was al
most cut to pieces by his assailant.
Ton minutes later tho robber ontorod
the Brlnkmeyer hotel, where ho se
cured soncldorablo booty, in rapid
succession ho paid hasty visits to tho
Head, Chlff and Globe hotels, In each
instance terrorizing and robbing tho
inmates he encountered. IIo then
made his escape.
