now under discus sion in congress the figures of lour men loom large in Wash ington One of these is the veteran Rhode Island politician and Nelson W Aldrich twenty five years in the senate ami chairman of the finance committee for so long a time that no body can remember when he was not In that position Before the advent of the Roosevelt regime he wielded so great an Influence in the upper branch of congreM that he was sometimes called the senate boss His prestige has somewhat declined in recent years but Is still strong As father-in-law of John D Rockefellers son and with millions of his own and many more in alliance with him he Is a powerful financier in politics Though nearing seventy having been born in 1S41 he is erect and athletic still has a yacht and plays golf Indeed he has been credited with being the champion golf plajer of the donate Congressman Charles X Fowler of New Jersey chairman of the house committee on banking and currency in the last congress and also the present and author of the much discussed Fowler currency bill recently gained special prominence by his criticism o2 the measures taken by the administra tion for the relief of the financial sit uation He was born in Illinois fifty live years ago was graduated from Yale and first chosen to congress in 1S94 from the Fifth district of New Jersey The committee of which he is chairman is known as the sixteen to one committee because of the fact that it has seventeen members each of whom usually has a currency plan or his own so that when any member advances a proposition embodying lib ideas the rest vote against it sixteen against one Senator H C Hansbrough of North Dakota a member of the senate finance committee is another legislator who is prominent as a financier He has introduced a bill providing for the establishment of a central government bank George von Lengerke Meyer is not one of the national legislators but his plan for postal savings banks has re ceived a good deal of comment in con nection with the financial stringency He claims that such a system would afford ti remedy for distrust of the or oinary banking institutions and would tend to check hoarding of savings The postmaster general has recommended that congress permit postofiices to re ceive deposits of 1 up to 2o0 annu ally until the account amounts to o00 and pay interest on such accounts at 2 per cent in semiannual installments when the total account exceeds 10 He would obtain reimbursement for this interest charge by lending the money to national banks and his idea THE DRUCE MYSTERY Millions of Monsy Involved In bv Wsmm yf the Opening of a Coffin The suit of George Hollamby Druce to oust the Duke of Portland from his title and estates which has so ab sorbed public interest recently in Eng land turns on the question of whether the supposed funeral of the late Thom as Charles Druce the claimants i DRUCE GRAVE IN IlGHGVT tLHUTri grandfather was only a mock burial It is the contention of the claimant that the coffin contained nothing but lead According to his story the man known as Thomas Charles Druce who kept a bazaar and was married three times was the Fame man as the fifth Duke of Portland who lived an eccen tric existence often disappearing for long periods at a time and who was supposed to be a bachelor -The duke r iStSJT23Sv Currency Laws and Men Who Arc Working to Improve the Financial Situation Sen ators Aldrich and Hansbrough Up- I -5 Postal X m Ik pp 5S1 IPOSTAuSL fflV Ff IfiL Postmaster General leyer and His Pet Project is that the money can be put out to banks near the postofiices so as to pre- J vent concentration iu a few cities The interest paid on these accounts would be smaller than that paid at the regu lar banking institutions so would not - v CHARLES N FOWLER Iraw away from them their deposit ors The plan was indorsed by the president in his message The idea would be to educate those citizens who instead of placing their trust in banks commit their coin and died In 1STD Druce was supposed to have died in 1SG4 It is claimed that In the latter year the duke tired of living a double life and determined to do away with the role he was playing un der the name of Thomas Charles Druce and had a mock funeral in ful fillment of this plan buying the silence of his children by his two later wives through deeding to them large amounts of property The plaintiff in the suit Is a son of Druces son by his first wife It would throw light on the mystery if the grave of Druce could be opened and the coffin examined to determine whether it contains a skeleton or not Such a move has been fought by the defendants in the suit a circumstance which crives rise to the impression that they are afraid of what the ex amination might revea The coffin of the supposed Druce was placed in vault No lolCO at Ilighgate GEORCjE 1IOLLA1IRV DRUCE cemetery Should the examination re quested be permit ted the contention of the claimant would at least be greatly strength ened if his state ment were found to be correct The fifth Duke of Tort land was very ec centric and spent millions of dollars building tunnels un der Welbeck abbey the ancestral seat of the dukes of Portland A strange circumstance of the case is the fact that when the old dukes London resi dence was torn down some time ago U tunnel was found which led from it to the bazaar where the man known as 1 nomas Charles Druce did business It is supposed by believers in the Jekyll and Hyde theory that he went back and forth by underground pas sages like this and in various ways uucceeded in living a double life for many year Portraits of the Duke of Portland and of the elder Druce have been introduced in evidence The bazaar keeper wore a full beard the nobleman only side whiskers but the faces above the beard line resemble iff Savings Banks Postmaster General George von L Meyer and His Scheme For Checking Money Hoarding Congressman Fowler i inn ii ii ii notes to hiding places In closets and bureau drawers or do as did a too con servative citizen of New Jersey When the newspapers began to talk of bank runs recently this man withdrew thir ty twenty dollar bills from a savings bank and hid them among the rafters of the attic where the squirrels found them and after gnawing them used the fragments to line their nots There is a great deal of dead money in the country at the present time especially among the recent immi grants from other lands whose confi dence in the stability of the banks is not as great as it might be It is esti mated that if all the hoarded money could be turned into the channels of trade it would be ample to relieve the present stringency It is stated that about one person in ten in this country has a savings bank account This Is not as large as the proportion In some European countries and It is believed that the establishment of the postal savings bank system would have an important effect iu encouraging habits of thrift England has a system simi lar to that recommended for this coun try by the president and Mr Meyer It is very popular with youthful sav eir and one of the depositors is the popular and pretty little Princess May of Teck who was snapshotted re cently while making her deposit at a window of a postal savings bank Postmaster General Meyer is the big new man of the cabinet the social leader of the administration and an athlete who can set a pace which even the president sometimes finds it diffi cult to follow When he first joined the administration forces it was thought by many that he would be an orna mental rather than a particularly use ful member of the cabinet but the grasp he has shown of the affairs of the postal department of the changes needed to put it on a thoroughly up to date business basis and the vigor with which he has urged such propositions as the postal savings bank system and Jllfc v SENATOR II C HANSRROUGII a parcels post show that he does not in tend to be a figure head Mr Meyer joined the tennis cabinet soon after his arriv al in Washington from St Petersburg where he had been representing Uncle Sam at the court of the czar lie and the bishop of Lon don are among the few who can win a set from the president and tell about it afterward He can jump his horse over a five barred gate and he likes to take long walks rain or shine as the president does When he was am bassador to Italy he went hunting with King Victor Emmanuel and shot a wild boar He is perhaps the richest member of the cabinet and his wife and daughters are famed for their charms and their ability to aid hus band and father in keeping open house and dispensing hospitality upon a very liberal scale WATER AND LAND AUTO The Amphibious Motor Vehicle In vented by a Frenchman The
