That permanent relief from the present monetary stringency can only be had through a system 'of credit currency adequate to meet the requirements ot trade and redeemable In gold coin, Is the opinion expressed by Representative CharleB Fowler 'ot New Jersey, chairman of the hanking and currency committee, which will, at the coming session of congress, endeavor to have a law passed providing for credit purrencjMssued by the national banks. Until such permanent relief Is made possible by legislative enactment, Mr, Fowler asserted, the situation must be met by the issuance of clearing house certificate's, cashiers checks and due bills of business houses and manufacturers. Hie underlying business conditions,' he declares, "are essentially sound, as evidenced by the Increased earnings of railroads and the fact that the value of our agricultural products are $500,000,000 more than last year (which was the highest year In our history), and ard bringing to our people about $7,000,000,000, but public confidence has been greatly shaken and credit seriously affected. Therefore, every patriotic citizen from the president down should do all In his power to restore that confidence which Is essential to national prosperity. "The cause of the currency stringency la tlfat there Is scattered broadcast throughout the country, at the mints, in the wheat, corn and cotton fields, in the pockets of the people, or locked up, about $1,300,000,000 of the reserve money of the United States, most of which, under a proper condition, would be In the banks, serving as reserve. Temporary relief will be through the forced .use of current credit In the form of clearing house certificates, cashiers checks and due bills of business houses and manufacturers during the ninety days., The permanent cure must come through a system of credit currency expanding and contracting with the ordinary demands of the smaller trade, precisely as checks and drafts do in the broader field of commerce." LIKE COLONIAL TIMES. Closed In Kansas City Everything Except the Theatre. y Kansas City Never before In the of this city was Sunday so strictly observed by the business interests as it was on November 3. All the merchants who have heretofore defied the attempts of Criminal Judge William H. Wallace to enforce the state law forbidding unnecessary, labor on Sunday, obeyed the Sunday closing order. The theatres, however, were open as usual, as they are protected by injunction proceedings pending .in the federal court. The decision of the merchants to obey the law was brought about by the wholesale arrests during the previous twenty-fou- r hours of those persons who were indicted by the grand Jury for refusing to comply with the law during the two previous Sundays. The persons arrested were placed under bonds ranging from $600 to $1,000 each. his-tor- Missouri Favors Prohibition. Kansas City.

In a battle between United States troops and Indiana which occurred in southern .Utah, three persons were killed, and another wounded, all said to have been Indians. The news of the occurrence was conveyed to the Indian bureau in a telegram from Superintendent Shelton, and was dated October 30. The army command consisted of four men and three officers, seventy-fou- r Indian scouts. The telegram to the Indian bureau, which was dated at Ship Rock, N. M., follows: "The troops have returned from southern Utah. They arrested Bylillie and nine other Indians. Three others were killed and one wounded while shooting at the Indians. The Indians are quiet, and I dont anticipate further trouble. The officials of the Indian bureau assume that the killed and wounded are Indians. The Indians arrested are part of a band of Navajos from New Mexico and eastern Arizona. A number of Indians under the leadership of have been creating disturbance because of their disinclination to observe regulations. So offensive became their actions that Superintendent Shelton made a request that soldiers be sent to the reservation and troops I and K of the Fifth cavalry, under Captain Willard, were dispatched from Fort Wingate, N.

Following the recent protest of the western grain shippers that it Is Impossible (or them to get .the trunk line shippers to move consignments ot grain from Buffalo to New York and that In refusing to enter Into contract for these export shipments the results were greatly hindering the grain export trade, It Is learned that the New York Central, the Lacakawana and the Erie have temporarily discontinued the making of contracts on grain shipments. The cutting off of contracts on future shipments was due to the purely physical condition of car shortage. It Is believed that the roads will all be able alike to relieve the congestion in a few days and resume the acceptance of contracts. New MONSTER INFANT. Child Eight Months Old 110 Pound.
