Western Economic Society Hears
Suggestion as to Reform In
Banking; and Currency
Systems of Nation.
CHICAGO. Nor. 11. Nelson W. Ald
rlch. chairman of the National .Mone
tary Commission, defended his plan for
a National currency reform tonight and
answered numerous criticisms of the
plan offered at today's session of the
Western Economic Society.
Chief among the crltlclsma suggested
by bankers and political economists
had been: Danger of unreatralncd In
flation of credit: danger of control of
the National Reserve Association pass
ing Into tha bands of banka and need
of specified gold reserve.
Baakrra Held Hesonlhle.
The objections of E. T. Hurlburt. a
Chicago banker, and rx-Oovernor Folk,
of Missouri, held the chief attention
of the chairman of the commission. In
the hands of the bankers oMhe coun
try Mr. Aldrlch placed most of the re
sponsibility of seeing that no undue
Inflation might result from the passage
of the bllL
"In the last analysis." he said, "the
rharacter of the National Reserve As
sociation Is the surest check on the
expansion of credit. Tou cannot pass
legislation which will give managers
of Institutlona honesty and fidelity.
Kvery bank In the United States de
pends upon the honesty and wisdom of
Us managers. Have you so little con
fidence In your associates as to think
they are going to permit the country
to be ruined by Inflation?
"Tha purpose of the plan was to
permit soma expansion. Tou can't
cure a condition like that of 190T with
out expansion and extension of note
Issues. The limitations put on re-discounting
by the plan, however, will
serve to prevent dangerous expansion."
Answering the argument that the
Government should have greater con
trol of the association. Mr. Aldrlch
said:
Bankers Believe Capable.
"The bankers are the sole stockhold
ers. They are the owners. The as
sociation's functions are to preserve
their own fortunes and the resources
of their constituent banks. Do you
think the men appointed by the Pres
ident could manage the great financial
.institutions of the country better than
the men who have spent their lives try
ing to find out how banks should be
managed?
"1 do not. Times hare recurred in
each generation when someone want
ed to put the Issuing of currency Into
the hands of the Government. We
have had greenback' crazes. I expect
the opposition of men who want to
give the power to issue notea to the
Government. I fought that fight
years ago. If we are to have an Issue
whether the Government shall Issue all
money and control the banking ma
chinery, let It come."
Secretary of the Treasury McVeigh.
In an address, unqualifiedly Indorsed
the currency reform plan.
Mr. MacVeagh declared, however,
that he believed the plan would be
received with prejudice In Congress
unless It contained provision to pre-

King Sees New Feeling to Rise

GEORGE TACTFUL MASTER
Visit of Monarch to Far Eastern
Ceremonial First In History,
but Presages Trips to Other
Pnrts of Hufe-o Empire.
LONDON. Nor. 11. (Special.) The
richly equipped ledl-na. conveying
King George and Queen Mary and es
corted by a squadron of battleships,
weighed anchor at Portsmouth this aft
ernoon for the historic voyage to India,
where their majestlea will be the chief
figures in the coronation Durbar, De
cember 12.
The King and Queen left London In
the morning. As this was their majes
ties' last appearance In the capital for
nearly three months, their departure
waa made with much ceremony.
Accompanied by the Prince of Wales
and Princess Mary, and escorted by
Imperial Horse Guards, they drove in
an open carriage by a roundabout way
to Victoria Station. The streets were
lined with people, who gave ths royal
party an enthusiastic sendoff.
Quera Mother Sara Farewell.
There was a great gathering at the
station, those who had come to say
farewell Including Queen Mother Alex
andra, other members of the royal fam
ily, the ministers, officials of the India
office and diplomats, among the latter
being the American Ambassador, Mr.
Reld. with whom waa Mrs. Reid.
While doubtless saddened by the
thought of a long absence from Eng
land, the King and Queen seemed in
the highest spirits.
Brilliant ceremonies and important
duties He ahead of them. They are
about to inaugurate a new epoch In
imperial history an epoch which em
bodies the central intent of King
George's reign.
Never before has a British sovereign
left the English shores to be crowned
in India. The plan originated with
the present monarch, yrto brought his
ministers, not all of whom were over
willing. Into line with it.
More Confidence, King's Wish.
The King held that herein lay the
real opportunity and usefulness on the
part of the crown, which In modern
days haa -lost much of Its significance
in the minds of practical men.
Tha presence of the Emperor and
Empress in India, King George ar
gued, would do more than anything
else to secure the confidence of the
leaders of Indian life and thus
strengthen the Imperial connection.
Further efforts to relnvigorate the
crown may be expected from the
King's initiative.
Nobody need be surprised If the new
monarch In the not distant future Is
seen in other parts of the empire, not
ably Canada and Australia. Nor do
these imperial tours exhaust King
George's ideas of the service which
the crown may render to Britain's
"crowned commonwealth ot autonom
ous nations."
George Uses Cable Tactfully.
George V has already become known
as a monarch who knows how to use
the telegraph and cable at opportune
moments. It Is believed that he haa
sent more telegrams of sympathy and
congratulations in his short reign
than King Edward sent In the nine

SOCIALIST LOSES
BY TOSS OF COIN
DEMOCRAT BECOMES MAYOR OF
M'KIXLEY'S HOME TOWX.
Correction of Error First' Makes
Vote Tie; Then Candidates
Decide by Lot.
CANTON, O., Nor. 11. (Special.) If
Henry Schilling, the Socialist candidate
for Mayor of this city, which still feels
proud of having been the home of
President McKlnley, had called "Tails"
Instead of saying "Heads" this after
noon. Canton would have had a So
cialist administration. As it Is, the
new Mayor will be Arthur Turnbull,
who Is a Democrat.
It was announced the night of eleo
tlon day that Schilling had been elect
ed by the narrow margin of two
rotes. Then an error in the canvass
was discovered when the canvassers
met today.. This cost the Socialist
candidate two rotes and made the re
sult a tie.
The law provides that in the event
of a tie the candidates may decide the
Issue by lot. Turnbull chose the
method, the flipping of a silver dollar
lent for the oocasion by a disinterested
and confiding bystander and guaran
teed' to have a head on one side and
a tall on the other, and It fell to
Schilling to -guess how It was going
to fall.
He guessed wrong and Fate deprived
the country of another object lesson

himself In the woods half a mile from

To convince his comrade how harm

posing that the mechanism would pre

horror, the pistol was discharged, and
Bolger fell with blood streaming from

There will be two meetings at the
Gipsy Smith tabernacle today, the
first at 8 o'clock and tha second at
7:80 o'clock. Streetcars run to
Eighteenth and Morrison. The tab
ernacle Is four blocks south. The
doors open at 2:30 and 7 o'clock.
Strains of "Where Is My Boy To

day afternoon in the County Jail with
the prisoners grouped around him and
after, he had told the unfortunates a
little "mother's boy" story of Portland
brought some of the Inmates sobbing to
their knees, caused others to bury their
faces In their bedclothes while one old
timer reached out a long arm and
swept from the table the cards and
money with which time was passed.
Induced on his way to the ministers'
meeting to stop at the County Jail, the
world-famous evangelist gripped the
prisoners In a manner that equaled, if .
it did not surpass, his wonderful con
trol of the enormous audience at the
tabernacle the preceding night.
Message' One -of Hope.
There was not one word of threat and
no suggestion of retribution was made.
Gipsy Smith held out to the prisoners
the picture of a merciful God. waiting,
anxious to gather them Inside the fold.
"I bring you a message of hope. It
does not matter what your life has
been; it does not matter how you have
conducted yourself I am here now to
tell you of a personal salvation," said
the evangelist.
He did not notice the squalid cell
In which the men were. The pity In
the man reached into his voice. Tears
were In his eyes as well as seeming
to be In his utterances. As he talked,
one old man staggered to a back part
of the room in which the men were
gathered and buried his face In his
hands. Great sobs shook him.
"The Savior I preach, the Savior I
love is as real, as I am," went on the
stocky man as he wiped the tears
which filled his eyes. "Down In your
hearts you know you want hiaa.
Mothers Brought to Mind.
"Some of you have good old mothers
who trust in you and love you and
hope for you, haven't your'
His hands stretched out in that
gesture of appeal that could not be
affectation. His audience was not the
kind before whom affectation was
necessary. The stage setting was not
prepared. Until Gipsy Smith reached
the Jail he did not know the destination
of the committee.
"When you were boys, wouldn't your
mothers have been horror-stricken to
see you here?"
By this time every single man was
on the alert as the slow, vibrant voice
seemed to burn Into him. i
"When I left England, a mother
wrote to me. She said that if ever I
reached Portland, Or., she wanted me
to look up her boy. He was working
here, she said. Today I found that boy.
I went up to his room and what do you
