IXFORMER PASSES EL PASO

EL PASO. Tex, Jan. 4. Under the
guardianship of two detectives and se
curely locked in the stateroom of a
Pullman sleeping-car attached to the
Golden State Limited Southern Pacific
train. Ortle E. McManlgal arrived hero
this afternoon. Ills car waa trans
ferred to an El Paso Southwestern
Rock Island train and In a few min
utes was flying north.
No one waa permitted to see McMan
Igsj. and the fact that ho was on the
train was made known by the conduc
tor. McManlgal la said to be en route
to Indianapolis, where he la expected
to teatify in the probing of the dyna
miting cases there by the Federal
grand Jury now in eeaslon. His routs
from the city will bo dlreot to Chicago.
Union Labor leaders are expected tn
the trial of B. H. Connors, A. P. Maple
and F. Ira Bender, charged with
having attempted to dynamite the Hall
of Records, erected by open shop con
tract, the night of September . 1910.
Connors' trial began today In Judge
Willis' deportment of the Superior
Court, with those of Bender and Maple
to follow In the order named. George
Eckerman. of Seattle, now under eub
pena to appear before the Federal
grand Jury, will be a witness at the
trial. At the time it occurred he was
in this city as superintendent for the
contractors who were building the
postofflce building. He declined to say
todsy what he knew about the Hall of
Records case, - but Intimated that It
would tend to show who Inspired the
attempt.
The state does not believe that Con
nors, Bender and Maple tried to blow
up a building without being told by
somebody to do the Job. The prosecu
tion will go upon the theory that
"higher-ups" Instructed the men .to ter
rorize the contractors. Eckerman Is
believed to have Important information
about tho higher-ups.
Ten Jurors were obtained today to
try Connors. The petit Jury panel in
Judge Willis court waa exhausted and
the panel in another department of the
Superior Court waa drawn upon, over
the objections of Lecompte Davis. Con

In Country's Finances.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. The Mone
tary Commission's plan for a National
Reserve Association when It goes to
Congress on Tuesday will provide for
an organisation so constituted that the
financial institutions of New Tork
would control less thsn 10 per eent of
tho total representation In the Cen
tral Association, although they pos
sess fully 10 per cent of the banking
capital.
This will be done to guard against
so-called Wall Btreet control of the
proposed institution, which would
lHrgely supplant the United States
Treasury and perform the functlona of
a National fiscal agent. .
Far West's Influence Doubled.
The South, with about 10 per cent
of the banking resources of the coun
try, would control 13 per cent of the
representation in the Reserve Associa
tion. New England with 12 per cent of
the banking capacity, would have 8
per cent; the Middle West, with 15 per
cent of the banking capital would
control 80 per cent, and the Far West
ern and .Pacific states with about 13
per cent of the banking capital, ap
proximately 25 per cent.
By prescribing such a method of or
ganization. It is expected to remove
completely the possibility of control of
the Reserve Association by any single
group of men.
Fifteen branch associations are pro
vided for one in New England, two In
the Eastern states, four In the South,
four in the Middle West and four In
the Far West. To control the Reserve
Association, it would be necessary to
control a majority of the branches.
This Is considered impossible.
leterholdlnars Hay Be Barred.
It has been proposed that ownership
of bank stocks by other banks be
prohibited and that any bank that is a
membi-r of the Reserve Association be
forbidden to own stocka Jn another
bank. It also has been proposed that
when a bank acquires stock control
in another bank. It be prohibited from
voting that stock in the main organi
sation. Much Btudy on the part of the
commission, however, haa failed to
auggest any provision that would be

PLAN TO PLACATE BRYAN

present board, notwithstanding it is a
non-partisan body, and supported by
appropriations for which Democrats as
well as Republicans voted.
Report Made to Coagreaa.
It la aald tho appropriation for this
board will be cut oft by th House,
on the ground that tho board Is ap
pointed by the President and reports to
him. This, strictly speaking, is true,
but the board has never been Interfered
with by the President since it was ap
pointed. It has acted entirely upon its
own initiative and responsibility; and
while It did report to the President,
the report was promptly sent to Con
gress, and in effect the board made
its report to Congress, for the Informa
tion and benefit of Congress.
But Clark and those who have rallied
behind him are setting up the claim
that the House of Representatives,
under the Constitution, must originate
tariff legislation: that it cannot be
originated by a tariff board or com
mission, and especially by a board that
reports to the President. This, it Is
evident, is mere buncombe, for every
one is aware that the tariff board, tn re
porting on wool, did not recommend or
even suggest a bill to carry out its
findings. It did not draft any sort
of bill, nor did it In any way indicate
the kind of bill that would meet Its
findings. It merely ascertained the
facts as to the cost of producing wool
and woolen manufactures In the United
States and abroad, and gave to Con
gress such data as would guide It In
determining rates that would be fair
and consistent, either with the policy
of protection as sdvocated by Presi
dent Taft or by others, or rates that
would produce a certain amount of
revenue.
Old Errors to Be Defended.
Spealer Clark haa declared over and
over thgvt he would stand for a tariff
commission that reported to Congress,
but not for a board that reports to
the President. The line of distinction
he draws Is extremely fine, and It Is
plainly apparent that the purpose of the
present attack Is to Justify the Demo
crats In ignoring the facts brought out
by the tariff board on tho wool ques
tion, and also to Justify revision of
other schedules on which the board has
not and cannot report at this ses.
lon ,,
It Is pure politics, and Democratic
leaders apparently have deckled it is
better for them to try to sustain the
action of the House in the special ses
sion than to confess error and under
take revision along new lines.
