WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. Announcement was mnde by Secretary Cortelyou yester Iday that allotment had already begun of the new one-year treasury certificates for which subscriptions were Invited In tha olrcular of the Treasury department Is sued on Monday. Allotments of X per cent Panama bonds will not be made, according to tha terms of the circular relative to them, until . after all bids are submitted at the close of business November 30. The secretary Intimated this afternoon that ap plications for both bonds and certificates war being received In satisfactory amount, but be was not prepared to disclose the volume of subscriptions and allotments. One reaaon for this Is understood to be that there are so many Inquiries for In formation from persons who do not sub mit definite subscriptions. Another rea son that allotments are made with a cer tain degree of discrimination, where It Is balleved they will have the best effect on the money niaiket. Secretary Cortelyou was shut up all day studying the condi tions. The discretion reserved In his original of fer of tbe S per cent certificates "that o0, 800,009 will be allotted by the secretary In his discretion upon offers of subscriptions addressed to him," has brought a great variety of orders and suggestions, among which it Is somewhat difficult to choose as to those most advantageous to the gov ernment and the financial situation. It Is oat expected that these offers will em body a premium of over the purchase price, because of tbe short term for which they ara run and the provision of the circular that they are offered at par. The most essentia elements to be considered are the amount of cash required to be paid Into the treaaury and It national banks taking the certificates will employ them to In crease circulation. Trtsierr Needs Host. Tbe secretary is almost compelled by the term of the law under which the certifi cates ara issued to retain some part of the proceeds In the treasury, since the law authorizes their Usue to meet extraordin ary expenditures. The nominal cash bal ance of tha treasury stood at only S8.K2.112 after deducting the amount of public money 60 deposit In national banks. This Is ob viously below the working requirements of 'he treasury, and the saoretary might find ample justification against criticism in congress in the fact that he needs cash to recoup this balanoa, The matter of allotments Is proving a somewhat delicate one, and care la being taken to avoid any well founded charges sf favoritism. It Is felt at the treasury. however, that no Just criticism will He against the action of the secretary If al lotments are based chiefly upon definite and binding assurances by national banks that they will take out new circulation to the full amount of the certificates allotted to them. BEER TO 60 INTO SEWER Oklahoma Brewery Caught by New Law with Large Stock on Hand. OKLAHOMA CITY. Okl., Nov. 22,-Three thousand barrels of beer, valued at $24,000. will be dumped Into the sewer by a brewing company of this city, unless a special dis pensation may be granted and the brewery allowed to ship It out of the state and sell It. Tho big brewery, built at a cost of more than $300,000 five years ago, Is closed and will be utilized as a cold storage ware house. Besides the loss resulting from local conditions, the brewery owns property In the shape of bar fixtures on which It has had mortgages through the Oklahoma portion of the state to the extent of $230,000. This Is being shipped to other states, and It 4s said will require at least 500 cars to haul It. QUTHRIH, Okl., Nov. 22. Governor Has kell has addresses to esch of the express companies operating In Oklahoma request ing them to aid In enforcing the prohibitory law by Instructing express agents and m sengers to refuse to receive liquor for ship ment Into Oklahoma, and refuse to trans port or deliver such goods within the state. The governor called the attention of the companlea to the prohibitory clause In the constitution, and to the decisions of the supreme courts In other states, with re gard to shipping Intoxicants Into prohibi tion states. prevent Its repetition. The plan adopted was not through restraints and safeguards but by Imposing a prohibitive tax of ten per cent on anything designed to circulate as money. "I am dlspoced to believe that the most unfortunate act of Andrew Jackson's ad ministration was his veto of the act renew ing the charter of the United States bank. I say this, recognizing that no act of his was more popular at the time and from then until now has been more universally approved by the American people. "A large central bank clothed with au thority to discount commercial paper and to Issue currency against the same as In other great commercial countries would do much to prevent a repetition of conditions such as we are now experiencing, but the American people are against such central ized commercial power and I do not believe 6 per cent of either house of congress could be Induced to vote therefor and whatever per . cent should vote for such a measure would be probably retired to private life at the next election. And It must be con ceded that there are some valid objections to such an Institution." SHAW, DISCUSSES FINANCE Former Secretary of Treasury Thinks Note Currency Would Be Good Thinar. NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-The Chamber of Commerce had as Its guests and speakers at Its One hundred and thirty-ninth anni versary dinner tonight J. J. Jusserand.

Shaw, at a banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce tonight: "The right to Issue notes Is Inherent with every bank, private or Incorporated and the right to use them In making exchanges Is equally Inherent on the part of the public. Neither congress nor the legisla ture can do either. Congress does have the power to tax such Issue and the right to tax and the right to. destroy. The tax Is Intended to be and Is prohibitive.

If you have anything to trade advertise It In the Por Exchange Columns of The Bea Want Ad Pages. Commercial Club Asks for Approval of Plan for Extensive Improve ments of Western Water ways. MUSCOGEE, Okl., Nov. 22.-The Trans mlssissippl congress elected the following officers today for the next year: President, J. C. Cass, Abilene; vice president, Colonel Ike T. Prior,' San Antonio; second vice president, V. T. Qalbrlth, Denver; secre tary, Arthur F. Francis, Cripple Creek, Colo. The Commercial club of Council Bluffs, la., asked for the Indorsement of the con gress for the Improvement of the Missouri river, the waterway from the lakes to the gulf and for other rivers In the southwest. The Retail Merchants' association of the Trans-mlsslsslppi section asked a protest against the parcels post. Speech by Omaha Man. Henry T. Clarke of Omaha made art. ad dress which was a plea for extension of navigation to Omaha. He recalled the great navigation business of fifty years ago and aald; "It Is the rebate and the pass that have driven these boats from the rivers." He gave a comprehensive history of the movement by various associations, con gresses and conventions, particularly those of the west, looking to the Improvement of the rivers, harbors and waterways of the country. His own acquaintance with the Missouri river extended over a period of fifty-two years. He dwelt upon the fact that forty or fifty years ago, there was a large commerce on the river, steamers ply ing upon the waters In the summer season from St. Louis to Fort Benton, a distance of 2,2) miles, but with the coming of the railroads, with their competition and their unfair rebates end passes, the steamers were driven from the waters. He said that by studying the vagaries of the river, the silt could be largely placed where dexlred and the banks made Intact. He deplored the money that had been ex pended upon permanent work with timber and rock, contending that c&hlea to which are attached trees and brush, weighted down with gunny hags filled with sand and extending into the river at proper angles would be sufficient barrier to check and direct tha current. He was convinced from liia experience that disastrous eroeion could be prevented at a very iivd'Tate expense. Separate Department Advised. He urged the creation of a scpaiate de partment for the Mississippi and Missouri, the river to be divided Into reacht-s of lOii miles or less, each sec'iion to have its own steamer, road machinery, oxen and men. He thought It unnecessary expenditure of public money to survey the meander lino of the river, as It was the Intention of th government to do. In lieu of thlt, strongly advocated the survey and stuklng of a channel line for steamboats and the lighting of the channel when It should he open for navigation. He aafd he expected, before the comple tion of the Panama canal, to see the wiiOle river lighted fiom New Orleans to Fort Benton, and thousands of nmi urtnient barges carrying down the product of the fertile Missouri vwlley and bringing back the co.tl and iron of Pennsylvania and the products of the south and of the whole world at a cost of at least one-third of the present charges. Senutor W. J. Stone of Missouri soke upon "Our Insular Possessions," and set forth conditions as he gathered them from six months' personal contact with the American orient. San Francisco this afternoon, was selected as. the next meeting place of the congress. Indian Senator Wins, Robert Owen and Thomas P. Gore, United States senators Just elected, met In debate during the session and the powers of both were put to the test. Ths committee on resolutions had rejected the resolution commending the action of President Roose velt and Secretary Cortelyou In issuing government certificates of indebtedness to relieve tne currency stringency. Because the committee was so evenly divided the resolution was referred back to the con gress. The snntlment seemed to favor the action of the committee. Senator Gore urged that the house vote the resolution down. Sen ator Owen followed his colleague declaring that the resolution should be carried. The house went to the side of the Indian senator, and when the vote was called the resolution was adopted by a vote of 193 to 43. Senator Owen scored Moaty Tiger, chief of the Creek nation, for "allowing the federal government to place words In his mouth through the Instrument of sn Interpreter." Chief Tiger bitterly assailed Senator Owen In a speech before the congress. J-at-a-a-aj.af e-.af I do not see that any objection can be made to use of ths government as a guarantor when It Is amply protected from loss. The only objection that occurs to me that is that the state banks might be less attract ive to depositors If national banks are guar anteed. But there are two answers to this objection. In the first place, state banks are likely to suffer If this financial string ency continues and there Is no reason why state banks should not have protection. BRYAN HAS FINANCIAL PLAN Nebraakan Would Have Government Guarantee National Bank Deposit. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. W. J. Bryan arrived here today and attended the wed ding of the daughter of a friend. Cutter P. I'rldo. He held a conference with sev eral other friends. Mr. Bryan talking to reporters said: "The administration Is prepared, so we are Informed to recommend postal sav ings banks. While this would doubtless encourage deposits and while those deposits could In turn be handed over to the banks, It does not furnish complete relief, because the plan as presented limits deposits and does not contemplate the opening of circu lating accounts. The business community therefore cannot use the postal savings I banks to any great extent and besides It would take come time to Inaugurate a postal saving system and secure the neces sary number of employes to make the plan effective. I believe It is possible for the government to give Immediate relief by an act of congress providing for the guarantee by the government of all deposits In all national hanks, the banks thus guaranteed to reimburse the government for any losses Incurred and to make this reimbursement In proportion to their deposits. The advantage of this plan is: First, that every depositor ' In such guamntid hank will feel secure. Second, the expense of it will be paid by tl.e hanks whleii get benefit of It and this expenne wil he small compared with the 'tem-rtt gumed. Third, it can le put Into effect Inime d'atelv tus restnroiu confidence and en Hhle business to be resumed. "It is probable Hint all of the national banks would t willing to take advantage of this guarnntfe because th' additional securt'y give", to tha depositors would be of prcat advantage to the bar.ks. During forty yeara the average annual loss to de positors has been sn ail, less than 1-10 of 1 er cent, so small that it would be In s'gnifieant per cent upon the four or five billion dollars on deposit. The govern ment wot Id hive ample security in . the capital surplus for the bank which would voluntarily Join in the plnn.

CHICAOO, Nov. 22,-Offlclals of western railroads at a conference In this city today decided to dissolve the Western Passenger agreement after January 1, and to disband the Western Passenger combination. This was formerly an organization of much Im portance In the railroad world, its function being to regulate the giving of free trans portation to shippers. The operation of the Hepburn law ren dered It no longer necessary to maintain the organization. REDUCTION OF COAL RATES Oklahoma Corporation Commission Makes Cut of Sixty Per Cent January 1. GUTHRIE, Okl., Nov. 22.-The Oklahoma corporation commission tonight sent a notice to the railroads ordering a reduction of 60 per cent In freight .rates on coal January L 1908. The notice was adopted after a lengthy conference with Attorney General West. It specifies that the , rate to be established shall be similar to the one maintained In Arkansas. The Oklahoma railroads have the highest schedule on coal shipments In the southwest. .The action taken tonight Is the result of an Investigation made by ths attorney general. The board also issued orders requiring the railroads to submit ths extent of their holdings to ascertain th value of the properties and to make known In writing the methods employed In leas ing the rights-of-way with a view to es tabllshlng an equitable rule covering this feature.
