Currency re form and the proposed change In the banking system of the country as out lined by' the National Monetary com mission formed the central thema un der consideration by the delegates tn th trans-Mlsslsslppl commercial con gress, which convened yesterday in annual session. The principal address was delivered by former Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the commission, who explained the proposed plan. He asserted that peo ple of this region would derive general benefit from the proposed change, In banking matters. "The organization of -credit," he said, "Is the moat Important element of the successful existence of com munities or states. Tal is especially valuable to the new communities such as you have in th trans-Mississippi territory." ; , Referring to the criticism that pos sibly the proposed national reserve might be dominated by political Influ ences. Mr. Aldrlch said that no sensi ble plan for the reorganisation of the country' banking system could be controlled by politics. . "Neither can It be dominated by Wall street or any ollnue in New York or elsewhere," he said. Mr. Aldrlch said that the new plan would give a uniform rate of discount throughout the country and that tt would offer more competition to foreign bank.

WITH OPTION ita$ Government to Purchase tim ber Lands Only from Owners Says Secretary Wilson. Special to The Gazette-News. Washington, D. C., Nov. 16. Secre tary WUson has announced that here after the department of , agriculture will not examine or recommend for purchase tinder the' Weeks law tim ber lands upon which options have been secured with a view of sellinc to the government at a profit. .The'j department wishes to deal directly ; with, the owners of lands, since thin course will result -In the payment to the owners of the full value of the land and at the same time make It possible for the government to secure lands Cheaper than through option holders. , The purchase of land through op tion holders means a lower price for the land owner and a higher price to the government than Is Justified by the conditions. This decision to pur chase only from the owners means that no action can bn taken upon some of the proposals which have been made for the Bolt of lands, but as the npproprialron availuble is lim ited to $2,000,000 per year, there will he no difficulty In selecting from tho large amount which is being offered a sufficient acreage to readily con sume the entire appropriation as fast as It becomes availuble. . While the optioning of land' in ad vance of the government examiners has become an obstacle In certain lo calities in the south, Secretary Wilson says that in general his assistants have made excellent progress in ex amining and reporting upon lands and in reaching agreements with owners on terms and conditions of sale. " More than 1,809,000 acres have been offered in the southern Appa lachians and White mountains, over 400,000 acres have been examined, and agreements as to price have been reached with the owners for over Four parties of estimators and five expert lumbermen have been busy in the field since, the first of June secur ing the necessary Information upon which to base reports to tho Nationnl l-'orest Reservation commission, by which all purchases of land must be authorized in accordance with the provisions of the law. Secretary Wil son win aK mat a meeting 01 trie commission be called early In Decem ber for the purpose of considering some of the reports which are. being prepared. Before making his .reports to the commission, the secretary will have repprts from the geological survey showing whether the control of the lands examined will promote or pro tect the navigation of the streams on whose watersheds they He. Only lands that are approved by the geo logical survey 1 Willi be recommended for purchase. The agents of the agricultural de partment will continue In the field all winter making examinations of lands offered for purchase. They are es pecially Instructed to negotiate with the owners of small tracts. Much of the land offered for sale is held In tracts of less than 200 acres. It is tracts of this kind which hove been optioned . by speculators In the past and which the wovernmertt now ex pects to buy direct from the owners.

YATES & 23 Haywood St.' ' TliK HOME Off M 0 1 0 6G Q U ITTEO Prosecutors Fail to Show That Arrowood Exceeded Speed it Defined by Law. : ' The , police court docket was this morning -down again to Its normal proportions. . There were no coses of much Importance but there wns one of passing Interest. This Was the charge against C. C. Arrowood, 'a street.cur motorman, who was charged with exceeding the speed limit on Pat- ton uvenue with a street car Monday. The Introduction of evidence and ar gument consumed a good deal of time, but at Its. conclusion the defendant was found not guilty. The case grew out of the one be fore the court yesterday morning, when Dr. W.- D; Hilliard was tried and found guilty .of exceeding the speed limit with his automobile, this in turn resulting from tho collision Monday between the automobile and a street car at the Intersection of Patton and Lexington avenues. Dr. Hilliard de manded t'.ie arrest of the motorman at the conclusion of his trial yesterday morning, as he lnsisted that the negli gence of Arrowood was the cause of the accident - The evidence today was practically the- same, as In the case yesterday. Dr.. and Mrs. Hilliard con- tendinz that the street cur must have been going at A rate of something like 20 miles an hour. The mntnrmun, conductor and one or two eye-witnesses suld that tho stret cur wns go ing at a rate of something like four or five miles an hour, as It had stop ped at Church street to take on a pas senger and could not have been going very fast. Tt Is likely that Hie matter of the speed limit of street cars at tills street intersection may be taken up before the board Qf aldermen, as attorneys' pleas wero made tills morning to the effect Unit a limit of ten miles is too great for public safety at that point.
