NEW, YORK, Nov. 21. A meeting of
the president of all the largest savings
bank in New York and Brooklyn wa
held yesterday to take steps to formu
late a plan whereby all tbe savings in
stitutions of the atate may stand to
gather in times of stress just as the
banka and trust companies do. By thus
consolidating the enormous resource of
the saving bank of the state, whose
total deposits amount to more than
billion dollars, it Is figured that Ue
position of each individual institution
would be greatly strengthened. To draft
a plan by which this desired end may
be brought about, it wa voted to p
point three committee on for Msvn
hattan and th Bronx; one for Brooklyn.
and the third for tbe rest of the state.
These committee will report at another

NEW CERTIFICATES SOUGHT

National Bank's Assurance That New
Circulation .Will be Taken Out to Full
Amount Allotted Them.
WASmXGTOtf, Nov. 2l.-Announce-ment
wa made today by Secretary
Cortelyou that the allotment had al
ready begun of tbe now one year treas
ury certificate for which ubsoription
were Invited In the circular of the trn
ury department issued Monday. The
allotments of two per cent Panama
bonds will not be made until after all
the bids are submitted at the close of
business hours, November 30. The sec
rotary intimated this afternoon that the
applications for both bonds and certifl
cates are being received in satisfactory
amounts but he was not prepared as
yet to disclose volume of subscriptions
and allotment.
One reason civen is because of io
many inquiries In which proposal are
not definite. Another reason la that
th allotment are being mado to a cer
tain degree, where they will have the
beat effect on the market.. The matter
of allotment is proving a (bmewhat
delicate on and care la being taken to
avoid any well-founded eharge of favDr
itism. It I felt at the treasury, how
ever, that no just criticisms will lie
against the actions of the secretary if
allotment are, based chiefly upon den
nite and binding assurances by national
banks that they will take out the new
circulation to full amount of ccrtinoates
allotoed them. A movement to threaten
banks to take away their publlo deposits
If they do not comply with the wishes
of the secretary of the treasury has not

No wonder that there is n smash-up now and then.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. The etory
of Senator Brown's acknowledgment of
the paternity of tbe two youngest of
Mr. Bradley's children waa told today
in Judge Stafford's court by other lips
than hers. 1 acknowledge Arthur Brown
and Martin Montgomery as my children
by Annie M. Bradley." J ;
Such wa Brown's own method of ex
pressing' himself on the subject and the
legend was inscribed , on a soiled and
blotted piece of writing paper. It was
dated February 10. 1905. and was
brought to- light by CoL Maurice M
Kaigh, attorney, of Salt Lake, present
receiver in tbe United States Land Of
flee in that city, and a friend of Brown's
of 30 years' standing. Col. Kaigh wa
on the witness stand for about an hour
during the afternoon session of court
and testified that Mrs. Bradley brought
the tell-tale piece of paper to his office
just after she bad received it from
Brown with the ink not yet dry. How
she fairly danced into the room and how
she beamed with joy as she held the
paper aloft and told him that now all
would be well. CoL Kaigh related many
interesting facts concerning his asaocia
tion with both Mrs. Bradley and Brown
and upon the whole made the best wit
ness for the little woman that has yet
taken the stand, herself excepted. Other
testimony in Mrs. Bradley's behalf was
given by Major Samuel F. King , who
related many incidents going to show
that Mm. Bradley was in a very ner
vous condition for some time beforce
coming to Washington, and Arthur
Barnes, Assistant Attorney -General of
Utah. More plat-id, more capable of
asserting control over herself and more
resourceful apparently than when she
took the stand on Tuesday, Mrs. Bradley
left it today after monopolizing it for
two days and a half. There were very
few tears today, but on the other hand
smiles were more frequent on' the face
of the prisoner than heretofore. There
were some references , to occurences in
connection with herself and Brown that
evidently touched her and aroused agree
able memories. She was pleased when
CoL Kaigh told of her presentation to
him of Senator Brown's acknowledgment
of his children, and she would today
have almost justified his characteriza
tion of her manner at the time of the
original happening. f
The year 1901 was crowded with let
ters from Brown to Mrs. Bradley, ac
cording to Mi's. Bradley's statement, but
those she preserved began with Decem
ber of that year. On January 7 he
expressed confidence that his wife would
agree to a divorce on reasonable terms,
'And then," be said, "You and I will
celebrate - the spring by ending, our
trouble in uniting for life. The best
thing I can say on your birthday is hope
and promise, and I believe it will come
true and you and I will be rewarded
for our affection and devotion to each
other by a life of mutual devotion."
On February 17th, he tells her of a
call upon Mrs. Brown. "She answered

NEW YORK. Nov. 21. Wireless, die
patches from the new Cunard liner
Mauritania indicate that the steamer
will arrive at Sandy Hook at daybreak
Friday, seven hours behind the record
of her. sister ship, the Lusitania. The
aerograms also tell of a severe storm
which delayed the Mauritania and rec
ord an exciting incident which occurred
Monday night.
The small figures made by the steam
er that day Mil knots were due to
this incident. While the ship was plung
ing into the head seas some of them
tore one of the heavy anchors from its
lashings on the forecastle deck. The
following seas and the roll of the ship
set it to dancing about the deck and
there was danger that damage would
be done to the bowplates or the deck.
Captain Pritchard, who was on the
bridge, ordered that speed be reduced
and be then went forward and person
ally directed a force of men who tried
to capture the runaway. ' It was the
captain himself who finally put a line
on the anchor by which it was lashed
fast.. .
The storm which the Mauretania has
finally left behind was a fierce one.
Then the wind suddenly shifted to the
northwest and the clouds cleared Sway,
but the gale wag cold and went whist
ling through the rigging. The wind Is
now light and the sea smooth.
'Later The new Cunarder Mauretania
broke her sister ship's record for one
day when at noon she completed a day's
run of 621 knots. The Lusitania' best
record for a single day was 618 knots.
The Muretania's time for the passage,
it ia calculated, , will be about 'five days
and two hours, or about seven hours
slower than the Lusitanh's, " if
