ALDRICH “LEMON in Vain for Effective Relief in Times of Stringency. -HUTTIG MAKES PROTEST | - Declares Measure Passed by ' Senate Is “Harmless and Ineffective.” _ In the Aldrich curreney bill now be- ‘bore the National House of Representa- ecves, St. Louis bankers think they see _ financial “lemon” of unusual propor- : “Mader the proposed law no remedy is offered for money stringencies and the policy of robbing. Peter to pay Paul is embodied in that clause providing for | ‘Issuance of $500,000,000 of emergency c urrency. » The measure passed the Senate by a » yote a few days ago, although the leading bankers of the country expressed ‘emphatic opposition to it. ‘y Huttig Stigmatizes Measure. _ Charles H. Huttig, president of the ‘Third National Bank and member of the Currency Committee of the American ‘Bankers’ Association, reflected the views of St. Louis financiers when he declared to_a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday “that the Aldrich bill is “thoroughly _harmiess and ineffective.” Mr. Huttig : wala: “The Aldrich bill as amended and : by the Senate can be classed as armices legislation. The provisions of | the bill are such as to make it inopera- i red and impracticable, _ “Essentially, it provides for the issu- ance of bank notes in times of panic and 3 1 distress, such notes to be se- ~ eured by municipal and state bonds, | ' the average income of which would be > P about 4 per cent. a _ “The notes, however, would be taxed 6 Bi . > : per cent.

"WHO IS HELPED BY. WOMAN, MYSTIFIES THE WEST END

Out Before the Sun, He Gathers Provender for Use on His Own Hog Farm. The West End has a busy garbage thief, a man of mystery, who rises before the sun and is preceded by a woman scout in his daily search for the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table. But he is no Lazarus making a feast of left-overs. He is a healthy, well-feu man, who owns a horse and wagon and has a boy assistant in addition to the woman who travels ahead of him. Those who have watched him suspect him of being the proprietor of a hog farm. Each morning he makes his round in the district radiating from King’s highway and Fountain avenue. Wher- ever he sees a garbage can réfidy for the city’s force of collectors he pounces upon it and empties it into his open spring wagon. The woman makes a thorough search of all the alleys. When she spies a can she gives a signal anu the man hurries to get it. All efforts to find out who the man and woman are have been in vain. They reply to no questions, though the housewives of the neighborhood have questioned his right to raid their gar- bage cans. They are convinced he has a hog farm of his own. When the wagon is filled the woman jumps up on the seat with the man and they drive toward the western city limits. What's doing socially hereabouts in the way of parties, sociables, hops and entertainments? See the “Coming Events’ classification on first want page of today’s Post-Dispatch. RICHEY, ST. LOUVISAN, ‘POPS’ ” CHOICE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Delegates to Convention Here Would Nominate Lawyer to Run With Tom Watson. Frank E. Richey, a St. Louis lawyer, may be nominated for Vice-President by the National Convention of the Populist party, which assembles at the Olympic Theater Thursday. The delegates who are on the ground declare that Mr. Richey is the logical candidate and that he will make a splendid running mate for Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, who probably will be nominated for Presi- dent. Mr. Richey told a Post-Dispatch re- porter Tuesday that he was in no sense a candidate for Vice-President, or either temporary or permanent chairman of the convention. He had been mentioned for all these placés.
