EXPANSION
Effect of ?Jew Currency Law
Declared to Promise Limit

LESS GOLD TO BE NEEDED
Director or .Mint Says Additional
Currency Can Be Issued Without
Increasing- Reserves Sys
tem "Mving Agency."
CfUCAGO, March 13. Optimistic
views ot the probable operation of the
Federal reserve act were expressed to
Jay by financial experts gathered here
for the conference of the Western Eco
nomic Society.
Expansion of general commercial
credits and limitation of stock specu
lation were predicted and a general
increase of confidence In the stability
of bank reserves was expressed. The
only fear was that a limited period of
uncertainty might occur during the re
adjustment of relations between the
banks and their new reserve centers.
"The United States has a policy al
ready recognized and established clse
where." George E. Koberts, director of
the United States mint. said. "'The
system will be of advantage to every
banker in the country whether he is a
member or not.
Ureater Stability Promised.
"It has provided a centralized, of
ficial control of the banking reserves
of the country, to be exercised through
the discount rate, and supplemented by
the power of note issue. It is apparent
that the more completely all reserves
are brought into the system the more
complete and effective the control will
be."
ire declared that the system had been
established for the common good and
besides was if advantage to every
banker, whether he joined it or not,
through greater security and stability.
"There is nothing in the plan that
will release large amounts of gold for
exportation or even give it early prob
ability,' continued Mr. Roberts. "It
is true that the system can be operated
with less gold than is required for our
costly gold certificate currency. The
truth is that we are approaching ex
travagance, not to say wastefulness, in
our gold reserves.
- Additional Currency Possible.
"But the old system has worked un
der fixed conditions without the direc
tion or elasticity r adaption to chang
ing conditions. The new system will
be a living agency, with powers of
initiative and self-help and will make
it possible to issue additional cur
rency without increasing the reserves."
Jacob H. Hollander, of Johns Hop
kins University, said it was probable
banks would be obliged to curtail cer
tain investment tendencies.
"We must face the fact," he said.
"that banks buy bonds not only for
income but to profit by a prospective
rise and to participate in modern cor
porate financing. Insofar as the mo
tive of such investment is speculative
it is indefensible. This prevailin
practice is likely to be checked rather
than stopped. This eonsioeratf on in
ieed justifies the contemplation of leg
islation restrictive on the. freedom of
banks to make bond purchases."
NEW OPIUM JUJLE ISSUED
IniHr(:i tion Prohibited, Importation
Subject to ltcgulation.
WASHINGTON'. Maj-ch IS. Regula
tions to carry into effect the recent act
of Congress prohibiting the iniporta
tion of opium went forward from the
Treasury Department today to col
lector? of customs. The regulations
supersede those of March 27, 1909.
The law prohibits, except under cer
tain restrictions. the importation of
opium and cocaine and their prepara
tions, but regulations governing their
exportation have not yet been formu
lated. Pending the promulgation of
these regulations, collectors are warned
not to permit the exportation of these
drugs without express authority in
each case.

CLEVELAND, March J. Fred Koh
ler, ex-Chief of Police of Cleveland,
known as the "Golden Rule" Chief, In

Earnings of the company for the five
months of the fiscal year so far report

Piatt Family Lou Dominant.
The late Thomas C. Piatt - and his
family were for years the dominant In
terests in United States Express. In
fact, their control was so complete that

of minority interests and for many
years practically nothing was known
of the affairs of the company, no meet

held In more than 50 years.
There are outstanding 100 shares of
United States Express stock and these
are in comparatively few hands.

"The company was not confronted by

Mr. Roberts said. "If the Government

it was first inaugurated and If we were
not confronted by another condition by
the action of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in putting Into effect on
February 1. this year, severe cuts In
express rates, we could have gone
along all right.
"The action of the Interstate Com

to the company and when we were con

part of the Government of further re

ther increase in weights of parcels
they would carry. It got to the point
where for us to continue in the express
business was impossible."
ROBBERY REALLY DREAM

Former Medford Grocer Who Reports
I.oks of Money Paid Him for Store
Discovers It la Cupboard.
MEDFORD. Or., March IS. (Spe
cial.) After the police had searched
all day for a mysterious robber, who,
it was reported, took $1900 in gold
from S. M. Nichols' bureau drawer at
4 o'clock this morning and after Mr.
Nichols had offered a reward and
sought financial aid from his relatives
in Jacksonville, the cash was found
tonight safe and sound reposing In
a crockory bowl in the kitchen pan
try of the Nichols residence on South
Front street.
Mr. Nichols sold his grocery store
yesterday for $1900 and took the
amount in $20 gold pieces to his home.
About 4 o'clock in the morning he
ran into the street in his pajamas,
shouting he had been robbed. The
police searched the house, found evi
dences of a marauder and concluded
some one familiar with the transac
tion had broken in and taken the
money..
Nichols finally decided that it all
might have been a dream. Returning
to his home with the police and sev
eral others interested in the case, he
found the money in the cupboard on
which was reposing his own six
shoojer. CUPID SHOWS 110 FEAR
WISCONSIN KUGEN'ICS LAW HAS

Numlicr of Licenses In December Last

January Decrease Slight.
MADISON. Wis., March 13. The
eugenics law passed at the last ses
sion of the Legislature haB had prac
tlcally no effect on the normal num
ber of marriages in the state, it is
contended by Dr. C. A. Harper, state
health officer in a statement today. In
December, 1912, there were 1521 mar
riages, as compared with 2026 in De
cember last year.
'In other words there was an in
crease of 505 marriages in December
last year over the same month the
year before," said Dr. Harper. "Many
people doubtless desired to marry be
fore the law became effective in Jan
uary and there has been a small fall
ing off in the marriages of January
this year as compared with a year be
fore. But the difference of the two
months of January compared is only
209, while the increase in marriages
last December was 505.

PEORIA, 111.. March 13. Two men
were killed and two Deputy sheriffs
and a woman wounded as the result
of an attempted holdup of a Chicago &
Northwestern freight train at Manllus,
111., 45 miles north of here, today.
Arthur Fisher, of Pekin, 111., engineer
of the freight train, was shot dead by
one of the robbers and an unidentified
robber was killed in a battle with the
Sheriff's posse.
The wounded are Jesse Byers, son of
Jesse Byers, of Princeton, and Bert
Skroglund, also of Princeton. Byers
was shot in the leg and Skroglund
through the jaw. Mrs. Wright, wife of
the station agent at Langley, was
struck by a stray bullet, but is be
lieved not to be seriously wounded.
The trainmen assert they found four
men unloading merchandise from one
of the cars when the train stopped at
Manilus. One of the men -opened fire
on the conductor while the others ran
to the engine and ordered Engineer
Fisher to proceed with the train. He
started to explain there would be dan
ger of a collision and one of the rob
bers shot him dead.
The three men then jumped from
the engine and, rejoining the fourth,
who had been holding off the crew.
fled 1?i the direction of Langley.
Sheriff Byers and his two deputies
started in pursuit, finally finding the
robbers in a bunk car near Langley.
The men opened fire on the officers,
wounding both deputies. They then
fled to a cornfield, where they were
later surrounded by Sheriff Byers and
a posse of farmers.
In an exchange of shots, one of the
robbers fell, shot through the abdomen.
Two then surrendered and the third
escaped to Chillicothe, 111., where he
was later arrested. The wounded rob
ber was hurried to a hospital but died
within a few hours.
The robbers are believed to .have
worked recently on railroad construc
tion work near Langley. Fifteen mem
bers of the construction gang . were
arrested tonight.
RICH WOMAN IS PICKET

WAITRESSES OX STRIKE.
Mrs. Raymond Robins, Noted Settlement
Worker, Takes Stand lu Court and
Relates Her Experiences.
CHICAGO. March 13. Mrs. Raymond
Robins, one of Chicago's wealthiest
and most widely known settlement
workers, took the witness stand In
court today and told of her experi
ences picketing with waitresses in the
attempt to boycott a restaurant on
Randolph Btreet.
"I did pidcet duty on several occa
sions," Mrs. Jtooins said, "ine gins
walked up and down in front of the
restaurant and spoke of the strike.
They spoke in an ordinary tone and
there were no arrests while I was
thf-re."
She told of a conference at Hull
House, when, she said, the manager
of the restaurant, admitted he was
willing to pay witresses $8 a week
for six days' work, but that the- or
ganization of which he was a member
would not permit it. .
Mrs Robins said Mrs. Medill McCor-
mick said at the meeting the waitresses
would be satisfied with this wage if
they were permitted to unionize.
SELF SACRIFICE FOUND
CANCER VICTIM SPARES FAMILY BY
ISOLATING 'HIMSELF.
Horace G. Clarke, Late Xephew of Ex-
Governor of Iowa, Found to Have
Lived Under Assumed Name.
IOWA CITY, la., March 13. Horace
G. Clarke, nephew of ex-Governor Kirk
wood, whose body was rescued from a
Milwaukee morgue by Mrs. Thomas ki.
Carson, his sister, a wealthy resident of
Davenport, sacrificed himself for his
relatives, according to Mrs. Carson,
who came here tonight. Mr. Clarke Is
to be buried here. Mr. Clarke lived for
some years in Milwaukee under the
name of Harry Harrye, It was discov
ered after his death.
"He isolated himself when he learned
that he had cancer," she said, "in order
to save his relatives and friends the
pain of witnessing his suffering."
She denied her brother had died from
noison. as at first reported.
"A postmortem examination showed
that death was due to cancer," she said
"His neighbors told us a remarkable
story of his giving away all his funds
above his bare necessities; of spending
his evenings reading to an aged blind
man."
METER REFERENDUM IS ON
(Continued From First page.)
5000 signatures were obtained in the
one day's work done."
One man came in early in the morn
ing with the first filled petitions. He
had procured the blanks at the meet
ing the previous night and had them
filled before the office of the committee
was opened,-
i "I want 100 more blanks to take
away with me right now," he said. "I
will distribute them in every club and
Improvement association on the Bast
Side, and I can promise that the most
of them will be back filled with names
tomorrow or Monday."
Another Pledges Aid.
"I wasn't at the meeting," said an
other, "but as soon as I found out what
the citizens had started last night 1
came to offer my services as a volun
teer circulator. I will do everything
1 can to help the referendum move
ment forward."
Condemnation of the plan to install
the meters was hot of a personal na
ture. Few of those who appeared to
get petition blanks made any remarks
directly attacking members of the
Commission, but simply declared their
belief that the plan to instal meters
would mean needless waste of the tax
payers' money.
"It is an unnecessary extravagance
said one owner of a large office build
ing, who.called for petitions for cir
culation among his tenants.
Taxpayers Favor Movement."
"Not only the small taxpayers to
whom I have talked, but taxpayers In
all degrees who have discussed the
matter with me have expressed their
sympathy with the referendum, move
ment, and I believe that I could get
enough names to "complete the neces
sary number myself with little solici
tation." "I believe it is not a question of
whether we will get enough names to
call the referendum," said another, "It
is a question of how enormous the ma
jority will be that will uphold the tax
payers in the election and administer a
plain and unmistakable rebuke agaipst
foolish and needless expenditure of the
public money."
Telephone Calls Come In.
Besides the visitors who.called at
the headquartere of the referendum
movement, at 412 Railway Exchange
building, there was an unceasing series
of telephone calls from men and women
who desired to have blank petitions
sent them for circulation at once and
who said that they could get hundreds
of names, if necessary.
When'the list of names is completed
it will represent probably the most in
expensive campaign to procure signa
tures in the history of referendums in
Portland, for everyone of the 600 or
more men and women in the field is
a volunteer, and the only expense that
has attached is the cost of printing the
petition blanks.
The first 1000 petitions were all sent
out by night and the committee will
have another 1000 printed and ready
today.
A special committee will place pe
titions In every business building to
day and circulators will take the pe
titions systematically through each.
Petitions will be sent to every, club
and civic, commercial or fraternal or
ganization and sawmill and other busi
ness concern.
Building Managers Help.
' Managers of several . of the larger
office buildings visited the headquar
ters in person and obtained enough pe
titions to take care of their tenants.
With the petitions that will be sent
out and taken out today there will be
about 2000 petitions in the field Mon
day morning.
'Firmly as we were convinced from
the outset that the majority of tho
taxpayers of Portland wowuld be with
us in this movement," said W. L. Boise,
of the committee, "the response that
was made at the mass meeting and at
the headquarters was a revelation to
us. I believe that there is not the
slightest doubt that the referendum will
result in a victory to those who are op
posed to the wasteful extravagance of
installing unneeded meters, and I think
that the majority will be sufficiently
large to settle the question of needless
extravagance in such matters for some
time to come."

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., March 13 (Special.) Coach Hugo
Buzdek last night quietly gathered to
gether all fraternity and club upper
classmen of the university in an infor
mal smoker held at the rooms of the
Eugene Commercial Club.
Each fraternity and club was repre
sented in speeches and each man spoke
In favor of a better college and a bet
ter fraternity system. Closer associa
tion was the keynote of the gathering.
Just what plans are to be followed
will not be definitely known until Sun
day afternoon, when two men, a senior
and junior, from each nouse will meet,
confer and draw up plans for what is
to be termed an "inter-fraternity con
ference." "It was just a boosters' meeting,"
said Bezdek. "I never knew before that
we had such a fine lot of boys in col
lege until I got them all together."
Late into the night, after the meet
ing was over, the upper classmen pa
raded the streets, marching from fra
ternity house to fraternity house, sing
ing college songs and giving college
yells. The demonstration resembled
a football rally. Its true significance
is: "Better fellowship at Oregon."
