Dr. Thomas has a theory that bichlo ride poisoning does not attack or de stroy the kidneys, but merely over loads them. He has explained that the kidneys appear to be the channel through which bichloride of mercury is eliminated. When the kidneys are SPECIAL SERMO FIGHT FOR CURRENCY REFORM BEGINS TODAY Final Preparations For -Battle Made Yesterday- Three Separate Bills Will Be Considered- Much Interest In Outcome carry out these purposes. As it passed the House the Glass-Owen bill proposed the creation of 12 regional banks. The Democrats of the Senate committee cut that down to eight, the minimum num ber the President was willing to ac cept. The Republicans reduced the number to four, holding that the smaller number could more effectivel concentrate the reserves of the country- The twelve regional banks proposed by the House bill would be owned by the banks, through compulsory sub senption to the stock and the banks would elect six of the nine directors of each regional bank. This plan was re tained by the Democrats of the Senate committee although it was further provided that if the banks did not furnish enough capital to run the sys tem, the stock might be sold to the public. On this point Senator Hitch cock and the Republicans departed from the administration theory of cre ating a bank of banks, and mater ially changed the bill. They provided that the reserve banks capital should be subscribed by the public, the banks taking whatever part the public would not take, and that the government through the Federal reserve board should appoint five of the nine direc tors of each regional bank. This was. the proposition which split the Senate committee. Each of the bills materially reduces the present reserve which national banks must hold against deposits. The House bill would fix the reserve at 12 per cent for country banks and 18 pen cent for banks in present reserve cities. These rates were retained by the ad mi nistration forces in the Senate com mittee, but the Republican wing cut down the reserves of the city banks to 15 per cent. vvasiungton, inov. 21. Una! pre arations were made today for the bat tie over the administration currency reform bill on the floor of the Senate which will begin tomorrow. Three scp arate and distinct currency bills, all based upon the same general theory wll be laid before the Senate by the divided banking and currency commiti tee. Unable to agree on amendments the committee will present the Glass-Ow en bill, as orginally endorsed by the administration and passed by the House to be acceptable to the President will be submitted by Chair man Owen and five other Democrats of the Committee, Senators Pomerene, Hollis, Reed, O'Gormon and Shaf roth. A bill materially changing the structure of the House measure will be presented by the Republicans, Sen ators Nelson, Weeks, Bristow, Mc Lean and Crawford and Scnitor Hitckcock, Democrat. All three of the proposed bills con template the issuance of a currency secured by the prime commercial pa per held by the banks of the country. Each proposes the establishment of reserve banks, which will issue the cur rency in exchange for commercial pa per to the banks, which will hold the reserves behind their deposits, mobil ized for use in any emergency and' which will re-discount the piper held by banks in the system, thus keep ing available always ample credit and currency for use to ward of! financial crises. Each bill proposes of nut the entire system under the control of a federal reserve board to be ap pointed by the President. Although agreeing to the purpose to be accomplished by the proposed legis lation the three plans differ in almost every point as to means provided to AT TABERNACLE TOMORROW WILL BE A GREAT DAY AT THAT CHURCH.

Chicago Swindlers Get Their Just Deserts. Chicago, Nov. 21. A verdict of guil ty against James Ryan and C. P. Bertsche, leaders of the "clairvoyant ring," was returned in Judge Walker's court here today. They were charged with swindling Mrs. Hope L. McEl downey, of New Salem, Wis., out of $15,500. Sentence was deferred. Ryan who was known here as "Pro fessor Charles T. Crane," was one of the numerous clairvoyants who oper ated under the protection of Bertsche in a number of Middle West cities. According to the evidence Bertsche shared in the profits of the clairvo yants in return for which he guaran teed them against molestation by the police. In the aggregate the profits of the ring" were more than a million dol 1 1 ' 14X1 B. VIRGINIA CITIES CAUSING TROUBLE Their Intervention May Cause De lay In Application Of New Freight Rates. TRAVIS CONSULTS GOVERNOR lraig And Corporation Propose lo Press The Case As Much As Possible. Kaleigh, Nov. 21. The intervention of Virginia cities to prevent the applica iiwn u, new reduced interstate freight rates accepted by the recent spe cial session of the legislature was the special subject of a conference today be tween Governor Craig and Chairman Travis, of the corporation commission. The advices from Washington are that this action by Virginia cities will tie up the matter several months, whereas the expectation has been that only a week or two would be required to secure the approval of the commission so that the new rates would go into effect by tinnn.,, 1 1-1. f .. J""""1 imc wovcrnor ana tne cor poration commission propose to press the the case as much as possible, and they seem confident that the interstate com- '. ll -it . uiissiuii win nnauy grant permission desired for the long and short haul clause to be violated in the application of the new reduced rates. It is a fact however, that the state is on record through a resolution by the regular session of the legislature, reiterated by the special session, on declaring it the fixed policy of the State that there should be no violation of the long and short haul close, the protest of the Virginia cities being- a. gainst the proposed violatiom necessary to put in operation the reduced rates into North Carolina. Several State of ficers have suggested that the-e should be some action by the shippers of the State through the Just Freight Rate as sociation and other organizations in pro test against the Virginia cities, and in sisting that if they want to enjoy con tinued patronage from this State they must withdraw from opposing these rates lor Carolina shippers. Chairman Travis left tonight for Washington to investigate personally the situation. He expressed the oj.l lion before leaving that there will not be anything like the delay in the inier state commerce commission hearing that Washington dispatches seem to indicate. He believes that he will be able to get very speedy disposition of the case and that the petition for th application ot tne rates tnroiili sus pension of the Unit; and short hau clause will be granted by the inter state commission. THEY SOLO LAND COVERED Br ITER Officials And Agents Of Florida Real Estate Company Are Indicted. MANY PURCHASERS SWINDLED Conspiracy To Use The Mails To Defraud Is Charged In Warrant. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 21. --Eight officials and agents of the Florida Fruit Lands Company were indicted by the Federal grand jury here this afternoon on the charge of conspiracy to use the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of $80,000 acres of land in Dade and Palm Beach counties, in the Ever glades district of Florida, to 12,000 purchasers in various States. Those named in the indictments are Richard J. Bolles, Jacksonville, Fla.; Geo. A. Paddock, Chicago; Jesse L. Billingsley, Jacksonville, Fla., and John Mathews, R. J. Martin, J. H. Borders, Edward C. Chambers and A. D. Hart, of Kansas City. The company, organized four years ago by R. J. Bolles, ol Jacksonville, is said to control nearly 500,000 acres of land in the Everglades. It is alleged that lfift.OOU acres were placed in the hands of Martin and Borders, sales agents in Kansas City, and bv them sold in small tracts to persons in mostly Kansas City and adjoining territory. The grand jury investigation was undertaken on complaint of small pur chasers. It was said that more than $2,000,000 was involved in the sales contracts and that more than $700,000 ilready had been paid to the com- piny. Some of the purchasers said their tracts were entirely under water and could he reached only by boat, com pany agents asserted that tie State of Florida was under contract to drain the tracts and that canals were to be dug soon and the l.uul put in condition tor cultivation. The State of Florida did hive under consideration about that time a scheme to drain a portion of the Everglades, but when the company secured its lands enrlv in 101 1 the covenant with the State declared that no burden lav upon the State t drain the lands. rhev have not been drained, according to Department f Justice invc-iia-tors.
