ALLOTMENT OF NEW NOTES
Secretary of Treasury JJegins Distri
bution of Certificates.
rREASUEY NEEDS READY CASH
Working Balance Not Now on
Deposit la Small English
Ilanka Trying; to Ilold
Gold.
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."

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.

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
