CRAIG REPRIEVES TWO PRISONERS SOUTHERN RAILWAY .', PRESIDENT IS DEAD Col. William Wilson Finley Succumbs To Appoplexy And HemorrhageHis Demise A Personal Loss To Thousands Raleigh, Nov. 25. Col. . William Wilson Finley, president of the South ern Railway Company, died suddenly this afternoon it 3 o'clock in Washing ton, D. C, of paralysis. This announce ment ,was received over the Southern railway wire in Col. A. B. Andrew's office immediately after the ocur rence. A few minutes later the As sociated Press flashed the news to this city. Death occurred at his home. Colonel Finley was stricken with apoplexy and hemorrhage of the Drain while he was attempting to leave his home for his office. Be fore medical attention could be sum moned he was dead. Although stricken before noon, word of his death did not reach Southern Rail way headqu irte-s for several hours. Colonel Finley was born at Pass Christian, Miss., Sept. 2, 1853. From. 103 to 1883 he served in positions fvom vice-president's stenographer to asMstant general freight agent with tne New Urleans, Jackson and Great Northern, and Chicago. St. Louis, ind New Orleans Railroads. From 1883 to 1885 he was assistant general freight agent of the Texas & NE W YORK BANKERS FA VOR RES BR VE BA NKS Would Put A Crimp In Stock Exchange Says Senator Owen Explains Security In The Currency Bill Washington, Nov. 25. Under the present system the bank reserves of the country are concentrated largely in New York, where they are loaned n speculative accounts on the New York Stock Exchange, Senator Owen isserted today in opening the debate on the administrative currency bill in the Senate. He declared that the ad ministration; bill as reported bv the Democrats of the banking committee vpuld remedy this condition. Senator Owen reviewed the details ii the bill and urged that by the cera- tion of a. market for discounted com mercial paper and by mobilizing the escrves if ' public utility regional banks, the measure would remove the ;reat dangers of the present financial system. , . Declaring that at present New York bankers, who hold a large, percentage of the country's reserves, are forced to lace, those reserves in small loans on the Stock Exchange, the Senator said: ?'We are' advised by representative New York bankers that the great banks therewould be glad to. have the system improved by the establishment, of Federal reserve banks-strong enough to. furnish money on, demand against good commercial bills and thus enable Che New York banks to withdraw their funds from the Stock Exchange which has become the most gigantic gambling establishment in the servic of legitimate establishment in the world and flace such funds in the service of legitimate ndustry and commerce.. This will be. one of the greatest benefits of the pend ing measure, that is, it will withdraw from, the gambling enterprises on the Stock. Exchange the bank reserves of the country and enabfc such reserves to be used for the commerce of the na tion.." 1 . .v v In detail Senator Owen- explained t he security!' which; , would : be ' behind the new currency which,, 'under the,, bill would be -issued against , commercial paper, .Besides, this paper, he pointed ornvthe notes would, be secured by the liability of the member bank disconti ing the paper,:; the liability -of its stock holders, the . liability . of the reserve b;inls issuing the notes' and its. .stock holding banks,' a thirtyTthree and one third per cent.' gold reserve and ' the guarantee of the United States. , , "There has never been issued a note th such safeguards surrounding it by ariyj banking system of the world,'iVJ he said. .,- - ' - -' ' ' Senator Owen urged, speedy action on the bill, declaring that banks and bust- is men throughout the country were holding back" to discover .just' what form the legislation would take.

Colonel Finley resigned in 1896 and he went with the Great Northern Railway, in 1896 returning to the Southern as second vice-president. He became President in December, 1906, succeeding the late Samuel Spencer, killed in a railroad wreck. Bo'-n in the south, President Finley did more than any one man to develop this country. It was largely through his broad, liberal policies that the Southern Railway toqk the stand it did in the. South. To Col onel Finley the credit is given large ly for the great concessions in freight rale reductions nrtade for North Caro lina. A man of unusual force and foresight, a scholar really, President Finley could see in the future with the eyes of a seer and the Southern under his direction overlooked no details in the development of this section. His death will come almost as a personal loss to thousands in the South. His writings and speeches were heard in every community. Senator Owen vigorously it lacked the central bank currency plan, particu larly the so-callled "Aldrieh plan" rec ommended by the national monetary commission. He reviewed various con gressional investigations f financial conditions and declared that the money trust inquiry showed that "a few men" brought on the panic of 1907 "to en rich themselves at the expense of the nation and to administer a political re buke to t lie administration then in power."
