OPPOSED TO HOUSE BILL AND
GIVES HIS REASONS.
'Would Increase Hegular Volume
and Allow Extra Issue Heavily
Taxed for Emergencies.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw spoke on "Pending Flnan
Legislation" at the annual banquet
f the Missouri Society at the Waldorf
Astoria tonight. Mr. Shaw said In part:
There u recently reported from the
committee on banking and currency a bill
authorizing a maximum iboub ui u.nwu
ovr 200.000.000. Every National bank In
the Vnlted States should avail itself of this
Reir privilege and if the authorized issue
hfin;d provs relatively as responsive to the
margins; needs of business as does the
credit currency of Canada, there would be
n additional contraction of about 30,K0.
M lo bank note currency between the issue
In the Fall and the minimum Issue of mid
umnitr. and a corresponding $30,000,000 in.
crease n bank note circulation when the
crop-moving period arrives. I believe the
proiji,d measure wholly inadequate.
Th. i..n ..iaa that thara shall hA kent

I gainst this new Issue the same reserve as
I'Pt against deposits. i oeiren a muca
nailer reserve than la requires againsi ao

I'.Ir. Shaw pointed out that the proposed
'X would not nave aiaea me a-cw iw

ired reserve last JJecemDer, Decause m

rae the cash reserve, whereas If the
i were obtainable the currency would

strongly In favor of the issuance or
a volume of bank note circulation in excess
01 toe par value 01 me bonds deposited. I
am not. however, in favor of a separata and
distinct kind of r.urrenrv in iiA i-i.ti,
this additional circulation should be guar
anteed Dy tne uovernment and the fact re
corded on the present bank note to the ef
fect that the um la W.,
of Government bonds should be eliminated
ana m lieu tnereor the note should contain
the following:
"This note is guaranteed by the United
States."
In addition there should be authorized an
Issue equally large, taxed at not lees than
5 per cent, with no requirement as to re
serve. It Is idle to require a reserve against
emergency currency, for the exhaustion of
reserve Is what makes the emergency. I
doubt not the proposed legislation would
prove profitable to National banks, especially
elsewhere than in reserve and central re
serve cities, but I do not believe it would
result in any perceptible elasticity.
Concerning the recent stringency In the
money market Mr. Shaw said:
"I realized the Imminence of a panic
and 1 was asked to deposit $30,000,000 in
the United States banks, but I thought
that the money which was with the Gov
ernment would assure a feeling of
security."

Bodies So Thick Rescuers Cannot
Help Stepping on Them No
Hope Any Escaped Alive.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Jan. 31. The
bodies of nine of the victims of Tues
day's explosion were brought to the
surface today. The bodies were brought
up by Edward Piekney, inspector of
the mine, and Kolm Absolom. district
mine Inspector, who were the first to
go down. Their search was one of
great peril.
The men remained In the 6haft for
three hours, and found it a veritable
charnel-house. Mutilated bodies cov
ered the bottom of the shaft so thickly
that the two rescuers found it Impos
sible to move about without stepping
on them. They counted 26 bodies, but
after sending up nine were so ex
hausted that the others were allowed
to remain until the eagre is put In
working order.
Sixteen more bodies were recovered
late tonight. The entries will be pene
trated tomorrow in an effort to recover
all the remaining bodies, It is now
regarded as certain no one in the mine
at the time of the explosion escaped.
The body of John Quack .was taken
from the shaft in the bucket and the
Coroner's inquest will probably be on
his remains. In addition to the inves

RIGHTS OF MENJN UNIFORM
Roosevelt Mny Recommend Law
Protecting From Discrimination.
WASHINGTON. Jan-. 31. If President
Roosevelt can bring such a thing about.
Congress will pass a law which will
prevent discrimination against the uni
form of the Army or the Navy. Several
cases involving this question are pend
ing In state courts, but the. more re
cent case of the refusal of a skating
rink proprietor at Plattsburg, N. Y.,
to admit two soldiers in uniform,
which was sustained by Judge Everest,
of the City Court, has given tn impetus
to the movement set on foot by the
President some time ago to insist that
the uniform shall be recognized In all
public places.
An interesting phase of the Platts
burg ease developed today when it be
came known that Judge Everest re
cently wrote the President, stating the
grounds on which he based his decis
ion, maintaining that the case was not
one within the meaning of the bill of
rights, affecting the question of race,
creed or color. He frankly expressed
the opinion, however, that the matter
should be taken up by Congress and a
bill passed making it an offense to
discriminate against the uniform of
the Army or Navy. This letter was re
ferred by the President to Chairman
Jenkins, of the House judiciary com
mittee, who took a rather conservative
view as to the right of Congress to
deal with the question, but suggested
that the opinion of the Judge Advocate
General and- the Attorney-General
might be sought in reference thereto,
which was done.
Mr. Jenkins at the sama time
related two instances wiiich had come
under his personal observation where
proprietors of public cafes had gone
to guests and notifled them, to wear
their coats or else leave the premises.
This was not discrimination against
the guests in question, but was an ob
jection to their mode of dress, a posi
tion in which he thinks the proprietors
were Justified.
However, acting on Mr. Jenkins'
suggestion, the whole subject has been
referred to the Attorney-General for
his action.
In his indorsement Judge Advocate
General Davis says:
Respectfully returned to the military. Sec
tlon 22 of the bill of rights of the State of
New York contains the requirement:
"If a person who owns, occupies, manages
or controls a building, parl, enclosure or
other place, -opens the same to the publlo
generally at stated periods or otherwise, he
shall not discriminate against any person or
class of persons in the price charged for ad
mission thereto. A person violating the pro
visions of this section Is guilty of a misde
meanor." s
Section 23 provides tkat "all persona within
the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled
to the full and equal accommodations, ad
vantages, facilities and privileges of Inns,
restaurants, hotels, eating houses, bathhouses,
barber ships, theaters, musical es. public 'con
veyances on land and water and all other
places of public accommodation or amuse
ment, subject only to the conditions and lim
itations established by law and applicable
alike to all citizens."
The foregoing regulations are more com
prehensive in their terms than Is section 22,
in which exclusion on the ground of race,
color or previous condition of servitude is
expressly prohibited.
In view of the very general character of
the language used in the sections above cited.
It is recommended that the papers in this
xase be referred to the Department of Jus
tine, with the request that it be examined
with a view to determine the propriety of
obtaining a review of tae decision rendered
by the court of original jurisdiction.
