which was lying close by having
penetrated the brain. The age of
the murderer was the only thing
urged in his behalf by the deputa-
tion and the Home secretary re-
served his decision.

As Adopted by tho Clearing
Houses of New Orloans
By VftsoeWted l'res? to The News.
Ni:w Ohi.kans Aug. til. Tho
recent action of tho Now Orleans
banks limiting tho amount of money
individuals could withdraw daily
having left planters without money
to move their crops tho Now
Orleans clearing houses have been
for the past week or ton days con-
sidering a plan to relievo the situa-
tion. Tho members of tho clearing
houses met today and adopted tho
following plan: Certificates of
deposits will bo issued by tho banks
to persons having money on deposit
payable to themselves or bearer in
sums of five ten and twenty dollars
or more the certificates being pay-
able through tho clearing
house and will bo stamped by tho
manager of tho clearing houso ai
followb: "This certificate is so-
cured by a dopositof securities with
the loan committee of tho Now Or-
Itans clearing house." lieforo such
certificates can be stamped by
tho manager tho bmk issu
ing such certihcato will have
to deposit the securities with tho
coinmittco tako clearing house
certificates under tho rule and de-
posit such clearing houso cortiticatoB
with the committee to the extont of
the certificates oi depot it issued
until tho bank issuing the certifi-
cates of deposit shall return
them to tho manager to bo
cancelled when they can recover
their clearing house certificates to
the extent of the certificates of
deposit returned. All of the
members were unanimous in tho bo-
lief that this plan would give the
required relief not only to
the plantots but to business
men as well. The certificates
will be just as good as money and
can be as widely circulated. Tho
decision of the association was re-
ceived with great joy by many busi-
nesd men to whom money Lai been
rather a scarce article for some time.
