A prelim inary meeting of a National Currency Convention, composed of delegates from leading commercial organiza tions throughout the country, was commenced In New York today. No bankers are allowed to sit In the con vention. Each large city In the coun try has representation. The purpose of today's meeting Is to arrange the details for a national currency con vention of commercial interests to be heid before the Sixty-first Congress begins Its labors. , That reform in the nation's cur rency system is urgently needed was recognized at the last session of con gress and a special commission was appointed to recommend changes that could be adopted and which would prevent a tightness of money such as experienced a year ago. The purpose of the currency convention Is to get the views of the business men of the country on the subject. When the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburg inaugurated the move ment for this convention the bankers of the country were purposely exclud ed from It. The real Intention was to secure the opinion of the men en gaged in industrial and commercial pursuits and these will be obtained at the convention. This convention wUl make recommendations of changes to the existing currency laws and these will be submitted to the congressional commission with a re quest that they be carried Into effect.

The court told the jury about the shooting of Assistant Prosecutor Heney and of the subse quent suicide of his assailant, Morris Haas. James Gallagher, leader of the hood ling city supervisors, was the first witness cross-examined.

FIGHTING EXTRADITION. Preliminary Hearing of Rev. Clark's Case llegim Today. The preliminary examination of Rev. George Clark, of Gardiner, al leged to bo the Rev. George C. Sum . men. Indicted at Throckmorton. Texas, In 1904, on a charge of oh talntng money under false pretenses, I was begun In Justice Long's court this afternoon, with District Attorney I Drown representing the state and At- torneys W. W. Cardwell and F. 0. MIcelll acting as counsel for the do- fondant. The state expected to have present as a witness Jack Parrott. of Gardiner, who was instrumental In bringing about the minister's arrest. 1 Parrott did not put in appearance, however, but Sheriff Fentou explain ed that he would arrive in the city tomorrow morning, having missed the stage from Gardiner, owing to pre mature departure of the river boat. Against the objections of the coun sel for the defense. Justice Long con tinued t h e examination until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. In making the necessary showing this afternoon, District Attorney Drown offered In evidence a copy of the Throckmorton Indictment, which accuses "Rev. George C. Summers" of obtaining the sum of $100 from a man named McCloud undor the pre tense that he needed tho money to defrny the expense of a surgical op- ration. Attorney Cardwell Interpos ed objection on the ground that there was no evidence showing the de fendant to be the person named Jn the indictment, and, furthermore, if he was such person, from the stand point of the Oregon law, under which this proceeding was carried on, he was not guilty of obtaining money undor false pretenses; that, Interpret- ng the indictment literally, he had merely negotiated a loan, for which the lender had recoui-se at civil ac tion. Attorney MlecllI cited a number of authorities to show that tho copy of the Indictment was defective In that It did not bear tho ceYtitlcjite of the Governor or Texas. To this. District Attorney Drown replied that such certificate was necessary only when he requisition for extradition was presented to the Governor of Oregon person. Mr. MIcelll maintained. howover, that inasmuch as the pres ent proceeding were for tho purpose of guiding the Governor of Oregon in his action on the matter the certifi cate of tho Texas executive should he on the document presented In court. J list Icq Long considered that the first thing to determine was tho prop er Identity of tho defendant. For that reason ho continued tho hearing until Jack Parrott could bo given an opportunity to testify. The state ex pected to alno have hero today the sheriff of Throckmorton county, Texas, and a man named Mnssey, al leged to bo the rather of the woman whom Clark calls his wife and with whom he Is living at Gardiner. They will not reach here, howover, before next Sunday. The officer Is armed with requisition papers, which will be presented to the Governor of Ore gon If Clark Is Identified as Summers. There is a reward of $200 for Sum mers arrest. COMFORT FOR MR. ItRYAX. The Commoner, Nov. 4.
