Soert He Can't Come. The earnest
simplicity of Admiral Clark's nature
Is shown In a letter just received
from him by Secretary Mitchell, of
the testimonial committee. He writes:
"I have your kind letter and wish there
had been more writing: at my end o the
line, but, knowing how much I had dis
appointed my friends in Oregon I felt that
only apologies were In order and there
seemed littlo to add to what I had already
said. I am so eorry business matters
prevented your coming East and that the
Adjutant-General of the state, who ex
pected to come was taken ill. It would
have been a great pleasure to fee you
again and to have made his acquaint
ance. I am a poor hand at expressing
my feelings and I can only hope you and
my Oregon friends understand how grate
ful I am to each and all. "When the sword
and the Governor's letter come I will make
the best acknowledgment I can. I know
it won't be satisfactory to me, so I am
not very hopeful about the Impression It
will have." The testimonial was ex
pressed to the Admiral ten days ago. With
the same package went a tea set as a
present for his wife.

Bicycle Thief Confesses. Boyd Mc
Danlel. a young man who claims to be but
16 years of age, was arrested by Detec
tives Kerrigan and Snow yesterday after
noon and booked at the city jail on a
charge of larceny. McDanicl freely ad
mits the theft of three bicycles, which he
pawned at different pawnshops, and it is
thought that other missing articles could
be accounted for by the errant young
thief. One of the stolen bicycles was taken
from the Worcester building about two
weeks ago. and another was stolen trom
the entry of the Toung Men's Christian
Association. In order to disguise his work
the thief changed the wheels and other
different parts of the bicycles, thus mak
ing up three wheels entirely different
from wftat they were originally. The thief
claims to be hut 1C years of age, but
looks nearer 21. He will have a hearing
before Judge Hogue this morning.
Degenerate Ordered to Leave. A de
generate named Ed Tracy, who Is well
known In the North End as a "kept man,"
was arraigned In Police Court yesterday
morning on a charge of having cruelly
beaten a woman known as Miss Delia
Fortune, who "has been supporting him
-with the profits of her shameless calling.
The additional charge of vagrancy was
filed against him, but when Tracy showed
to the court that at times ho had earned
the princely stipend of $10 a week by his
own efforts. Judge Hogue was moved to
suspend sentence and release the fellow
on a promise to leave the city without
delay. This promise was readily given by
Tracy, and he went his way with the
fixed opinion that Police Courts are uead
easy.'

To Fight Sham Battle. Preparations
for the sham battle, to be given by
the Spanish-American War Veterans,
are nearly completed. The committee
appointed to conduct the battle has
reported that everything will be In read
iness within a few days, and that, with
very Httld practice, the men will be pre
pard to show the "stay-at-home rangers"
how battles were fought and fields were
won over in the Philippine Islands. The
Pacific Coast League baseball grounds,
at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets,
have been secured for tho night of
May 22, the date set for the occasion.
The grandstand -and bleachers will afford
an excellent view of the-battle. which -will
be most realistic, the field artillery as
well as the Infantry taking part in the
fray. The music for the occasion will
be furnished by the Third Regiment Band.
The proceeds of the entertainment will
be equally divided between two cemetery
funds, being raised for the improvement
of the military plots in the Lone Fir and
Kiverview cemeteries. The idea for rais
ing the money Is a novel one, and will
undoubtedly be patronized by both those
who are curious about the Philippine mode
of fighting and those wishing to assist the
ex-soldlcrs In decorating the graves of the
late volunteers on 'Memorial day.

special train at the Union Depot on May

can flags to the carriage In which he will
ride In the parade' through the city, and
the currlage will pass out of the depot be
tween -walls formed of Old Glory hung on

PHYSICIANS BEGIN WORK
Notable Men at the Opening; of the
American Congress.
WASHINGTON, May 12. The sixth tri
ennial convention of the Congress of
American Physicians and Surgeons con
vened'thls afternoon at the Columbia The
ater. The congress includes in its mem
bership many of the most eminent med
ical and surgical specialists In tho coun
try, several hundred of whom were pres
ent when it was called to order.
Dr. Adolf Lorenz. the distinguished
Austrian surgeon, was expected to be
present, but has not yet arrived. In at
tendance were eminent physicians and
surgeons, not only from the United
States, but from all countries of Europe.
Among them were professor Mlquelech,
of Berlin, an authority on therapeutics
and pathology; Professdr Hans Kerr, of
Halberstadt, Germany, a surgeon of In
ternational distinction; Dr. Roswell
Parke, of Buffalo, one of the surgeons
who attended the-late President McKln
ley, and Dr. Simon Flexner, of Philadel
phia. During the sessions of the congress,
which will occupy the greater part of
three days, papers by eminent authorities

TEXAS BAAKERS IN SESSION.
Lyman J. Gnpre Sends a. Letter ArRU
Injf for an Asset Currency.
SHERMAN, Tex., May 12. The Texas
Bankers' Association met here today and
.listened to the reading of a number of
letters from prominent bankers In. other
states. One of the letters was ftom ex
Secretary of the Treasury Lyman Gage,
who discussed the question, "Is the Money
Supply of the United States Sufficient?"
"I answer tho question," he said, "by
expressing the very grave doubt whether
It be adequate In volume, and a clear con
viction that It is not economical In charac
ter. The provision for supply ought to
have reference to recurring needs, re
sponding in volume when occasions for
use of currency are the geratest, and re
tiring naturally as the requirements grow
less exacting."
He argued for credit or asset currency.
Ex-Controller of the Currency Charles
G. Dawes, In a letter, urged that In the
passage of any provision for elasticity In
the currency, tho following principle
should be kept firmly In mind:
"First, there should be no radical ex
periments made, and we should risk In no
degree whatever the absolute safety and
solidity of our present bank note cur
rency In order to secure additional fluid
ity. "Second, If we can safely Inject an ele
ment of elasticity Into our bank currency,
wo should see to it that we are not fur
nishing a currency which can be used
as a basis of currency business and spec
ulation in times like the present, thus add
ing to the perils of panic instead of miti
gating them.
"Third, we can not secure elasticity In
any asset currency Issued by National
banks of the United States, to be so limit
ed In amount of its Issue as to be un
doubtedly safe, without the Imposition
of a high restrictive tariff of not less than
4 per cent, and probably 5 per cent, thus
providing for Its circulation only In times
of the high Interest rates which accom
pany enforced contraction of banking and
business credits in panics and crop mov
ing periods.
