This announcement was ms.il o last nlslit at a dinner of tho Association of Commorco by James Kceley, who traced tho banker to Morocco, whero he was captured. Qtensland was brought back- to Chicago, whero ho made a full contention In which lie charted Henry W.

Talk of Yates' Statement. In connection with the operation and ef feet of the new law the attention of Treasury "department- officials, waa caled today to the statement of Henry W. Yates, president of tho Nebraska National bank, published Jn. The- Bee last AVednes day, and cailied some comment. Tn the absenco of Secretary McAdoo, who la confined to . his borne today by a slight cold and fever, none of the of ficials would be quoted In commenting on Mr. Yates' statement that some six or seven million dollars would be taken out of Nebraska under the new law. These officials are emphatio In their statement that this Is hot the case. ' Soma Matters Overlooked. Bald one, a man high In the councils of the department: "In the statement by Mr. Yates in The Beo, It Is quite apparent that there are three or four factors the Omaha banker has not taken Into consideration. In the first place, there may be a regional re serve bank established In Nebraska which. If that occurs, would end the cr- gument then and there. Secondly, the reserve deposited with federal reserve banks Is subject to check, Just as deposits with correspondents Is subject to check, with the proviso that they are penalised If the gross reserve laws below tho amount required by law. "Thirdly, Mr. Yates haa not taken Into consideration the fact that this same money which 1 deposited Ih federal re serve banks la available for rediscount' The CRIME of the AGE Is committed every day by the wearing tf wrong glasses. They effect the nerv- ous system, iinmilr the eight and result in misery and bilml. nesa.

Monoy Carried Outalilr. "Fourthly, he has not given In his statemont any figures as to what amount of theso deposits nro already carried with correspondent banks outsldo of tho stato of Nebraska. In fact tho flcures given by Mr. Yntea seem so perfectly ! arbitrary that It Is Impossible to answer them Intelligently. Howover, if ho will glvo tho figures upon which his conclu sions nro based they could bo checked up by tho proper division of tho de partment, when It would no doubt bo shown that tho situation In Nebraska will be greatly benefitted and Improved by this so-called transfer of funds, whether a regional bank Is located there. or merely a branch bank." Climice to Get Ilnnk. Omaha's chances for securing one of tho regional reserve banks ought to bo a good aa any other city In tho country, say treasury officials. Tho fact Is that Omaha haa not up to this ttmo asked to bo considered as a regional bank. Up to department closing time, to day, but throo Nebraska banks had filed applications for admission Into tho now currency system, They 'arc as follows: ' Nebraska, National batik, Otnaliat First National "bank, Orand Island; First Na tional banttV.rcxilte, Nob.

According to tno same book, the rare 1804 dollar cost Mr. Reed 1070, Collectors say that it would bring seven times as much now. History of Coin. An old coin book In tho llbraray con tains the alleged history of the 1S0I ts ue of American dollars. In It 'is the atatement that New England logends toll of a certain tea ship that carried almost the entire 1804 mintage of dollars away from a Massachusetts seaport and was lost In mld-occiui.whlch accounts for the scarcity of the coin. Another theory of tho scarcity is that practically all of me dollars coined In 1804. were shipped to Algiers and wore lost. The Byron Reed collection In the mib- lle library contains many other rare old coins, but none that can compare with the 1804 dollar. A total of 6.SC0 coins com- prioe the collection, which ia insured againsi nro lor joo.ooo. although the building Is supposed to be fireproof. JUDGE RICE ENDORSED FOR MEMBER OF CONGRESS DBADWOOD, S.
