(By Leased Wlr? to The Times.) Washington, D. C, Nov. l.-The Bank of the United States may bo re stored to life and usefulness as ono of the results of the present financial flurry. Leaders in national finance are de termined that when congress at last gets around to "doing something for the currency," It shall, It possible, be Induced to establish a great central bank of Issue. - It Is realized that to achieve this means a Ions and hard fight against the prejudices of congress, many of whose leaders are determinedly op posed not only to government -banking In general, but even to making any concession to the demand for a more elastic currecy. Nevertheless, men who have most closely studied financial conditions and who are powerful in the highest banking circles, are fast becoming con vinced that the Central Bank of Is sue, which has demonstrated Its safety and usefulness In England, France and Germany, Is the one thing short of which any currency reform will be weak and Ineffective. Secretary Cortelyou has declined to Indicate, to interviewers," his attitude toward the proposal of a bank of the United States. The secretary feels that, the present is no time for the in auguration of such a discussion, so far as he is concerned. The Impres sion is strong that he is going to re commend important measures of cur rency reform and It Is further that some of his most trusted advisers strongly favor the plan of a central bank of issue. In this country the treasury Is forced Jnto the money market at times when stress develops, but at other times there is no supreme financial or gan to look after national monetary concerns, to foresee troubles, and to make provision against them. It Is being vigorously urged that such an institution be provided. IF THEY ONLY DON'T EXPLODE (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Aurora, Ills,, Nov. 1. Dr. T. J.

New York, Nov. 1 That ':: Ray mond Hitchcock took with him In his llight. Bella McKenzie, one of the lit-, lie girls whose accusations caused the grand jury to Indict the actor on six counts, was the startling information that reached the police today. The girl disappeared from the home of, her parents,'-No. 161 East 34th stre?t' on October 1, and according to thel Children's Society she has mat' Hitchcock several times since then; ' One report today Stated ' that j Hitchcock and the girl at their last meeting planned to go away together and it is believed that on the morn ing he was last seen In New York he met. her -by appointment and they both disappeared- There were two clues to the where abouts of Hitchcock today. One, based on information furnished the police by a friend of the actor, in dicated strongly that ho was on his way to England on board the White Star liner Majestic. The other clue, based on dis patches from North Adams, Mass., and Bennington, Vt., indicating that he has passed through these places, led to the supposition that Hitch cock was on his way to Canada, prob ably with the intention of sailing for Europe from Montreal or Halifax. The general opinion among Hitch cock's former friends in Broadway Moday was that he was making for Canada and would sail from a Cana dian port unless Intercepted. The McKendle girl, it was learned today, fell Into the hands of the Gerry Society last fall, and In a con fession accused the actor of causing her downfall. Later she became reconciled to her parents and re turned to her home. She disappeared October 1 and the Children's So ciety was notified. Agent Pissaro, of the society, stated that he had learned that the girl had been meet ing Hitchcock again, and for two weeks the comedian was shadowed nightly. Two weeks ago, Pissaro said, he followed Hitchcock after a matinee and saw him meet Bella on 44th street, near the Lambs Club. The couple talked earnestly for a few minutes and then the actor went into the club. The girl caught sight of Pissaro, he says, and ran away. For some reason, not yet ex-., plained, an attempt was planned for today to obtain the freedom of Elsie Voecks and Helen Von Hagen, two of the little girls who testified before the grand Jury against Hitchcock, The former is in the House of Mercy and the latter In the House of the Good Shepherd.

COTTON CROP IAFI TO RETIRE FROM THE RACE Report Says His Candidacy Will Soon End MAY MFAN RflllSFVFIT' Aii Interesting Story From Washing' ton That Appears to Contain Plausible Argument Opinion to Expressed That If Taft Firmly Retires Roosevelt Will Be Forced : to Accept Another Nomination The Prbgram. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, D. C, Nov. 1. Beers- , tary Tart's retirement from the field as a presidential candidate Is declar ed in well Informed quarters to be not merely a possibility but a probability. From political quarters in close touch with the white house and friend ly to the renominatlon of Roosevelt, the assertion comes that Btartllng de velopments in the presidential situa tion may be expected within the next few months. These developments may be looked for about the time of See ret ary Taffs return from the Philip pines. They are contingent on what occurs in the meantime. V Within recent weeks the president has heard some plain words on the third term question. He heard them on his Mississippi trip and he has heard them since his return to Washington. He has been told that Taft is making no progress, and that his nomination is out of the question; and more than that, that even if Taft is nominated his election Is doubtful. He has been told, too, that the next president will be one of two men Roosevelt or Bryan. He has been advised that If the re- pi.bik-iui' party, is to carry the coL'l try in the 1908 election Roosevelt TTijst lead K; tilHt u:idtr . -V clr e.uinstances, it is his duty lo cotii:' to a renomintuion, end that If he ri fuses to stand for renominatlon arid Li i i.u is -leti.otl, he will, be the object of bitter criticism from his own party. According to a man of public confi dence, who has excellent opportunity of knowing, the president will proceed In this fashion. First, he will give careful study to the Taft movement, and will Seek to ascertain-finally for himself whether Taft can be nominated, if, after a sur vey of the field, he considers that Taft can be nominated, and Is reasonably sure of it, he will Issue a statement. saying he wilt under no circumstan ces accept another nomination. On the other hand, If the president decides that Taft has no show for the nomination, or no such chance as war rants dependence upon it, then mat ters will be allowed to drift along un til Taft returns from the Philippines. If Taft lands In America again and finds has case hopeless then he will withdraw from the field. In case of -withdrawal, Taft may be expected to say that he finds the people want the president nominated; that he is con vinced they don't want himself, and that accordingly, he has concluded to step aside. The effect would be Inevi tably a stronger trend than ever to ward Roosevelt, and It would be more difficult than ever to prevent a general stampede to Roosevelt In the national convention. OLD SWINDLER AT NEW T (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. J. Dr. R. C. Flower, who jumped his bail of $23,000 in the summer of 1904, when he was charged with swindling investors in a mythical mining cor poration, has startled this city by his boldness In operating a sale of stock In a $900,000 corporation. Investors In this concern have Just started an Inquiry In which It devel oped that not even the man whom he made president of the corporation knew that Dr. Flower alias Prof. O. O. Oxford, had been fighting extradi tion to New lork since last January when the New York police arrested him here. Only his' son, who id the secretary and treasnrer bt the con cern, styled The Virginia Clay k Material Company, knew that - Dr. Flower was the man who had been arrested In New York. When young Flower was called oh for an explanation of where the money paid for stock Was1, he refused to explain anil then it developed that great quantities of stock had been told without keeping any record and that there was no record of the mon eys received or the amount of stotk sold. , v RICK
