G. C. Homerrof Baltimore, Chairman of the Committee of National Bankers to formulate the so-called Baltimore plan, -ind A- B. Hepburn, of New York.

-B-Com(itroUer of the Currency. These gentlemen represent the currency Ideas embodied in the Baltimore plan, and they were present for the purpose of urging the merits of that plan. It was expected that Secretary Carlisle would pre sent his currency bill and continue his statement of yesterday, bul aa the Secretary waa late in arriving. White opened the hearing. In answer to tuestfons.

he stated that he had drafted a 1:111 on the lines of the Baltimore plan, and It was arranged that this should be placed before tbe committee. THE BAXTIMOAB IDEA, Mr. White began with a reference to the Baltimore plan, calling attention to tbe fact that it deals with, only one part rf the banking business, of issuing circulating notes. A function not indispensable, but valuable to the people. The first half of th address waa devoted largely to a historical review ot banking in thla country.

Tbe latter part ofrbe ad- dree, was devoted exclusively to the Baltimore planA Referring to the fact that it make the circulating note a first lien on th assets of the bank, he said: "There is aa outcry anvlnt this last feature from some people who say that the poor depositor will suffer. But what la the condition of the poor depositors now? Aren't note a first lita on the assets? Aren't security bonds a part of the assets? Can any depositor get ar part- this fund tmtU- supposing that the bonds ebould ever fall short of paying the note could the depositor sjet any part of the remaining assets until the par vafcie of the note was Of course not-' TEN FEB CENT TAX. Mr. Vhltekaid he saw no objection to the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank notes, provided the state banks comply with ail the requirements of 'the national bank-4 ing law. and provliled the means of enforcing these requirements are lodged with the Comptroller, of the Currency.

But a mere power of. observation, without the power of enforcement he smaM consider unwise. unsafe, and sure to cause embarrassment and to end In disaster. He considered as desirable, though not indispensable, that the Government shall continue, as now. responsible tor tbe redemption of bank notes.

The Baltimore plan simply takes the law as It finds it It makes a Chang In the manner of reimbursing the Government for th. redemption ot failed notes. The only question is whether- the suggested change puts the Government to any greater risk. This Is a question of mathematics. It Is to be answered by tbe tables of bank mortality in the past 81 years.

Mr. White announced himself in favor of the retirement o( legal tender notes, notwithstanding the retirement la not Included in the Baltimore plan. He would have them extinguished, not merely temporarily withdrawn. --At the" close of Mr. White's statement he aubmited his bill on the lines of the Baltimore plan.

Mr; Homer stated that the committee of national bankers had not yet formulated their bill. Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, asked Mr. White's opinion of Secretary Carlisle's currency plan. DOSSITT UU IT.

Cox. of Tennessee, asked If this would ot do away with the need of state banks. Mr. White answered that It would. He said he believed In oneunlform banking sys tem, not 44 systems there being 44 states.

Secretary. Carlisle- then resumed his statement begun He pre sented the bill ha had prepared embodying hi plan of currency revision and read It to the commltte. oosnmentina- on it as he proceeded. When be had concluded raiding th bill Mr. Carlisle explained It in detalL He pointed out tb.

various aacttona of th present law proposed to be repealed. Concerning th condition Imposed on state bank by hia bill said certain feature had been added to meet criti- dsma made of tbe plan aa outlined la the annual report. Mr. Broatua (Ben Pennsylvania) asked whether it was not desirable for the Government to aastun tb rtrk of redeeming note rather than leaving tt to "th. bank.

bossnr'T aauarvst ta rr. -Mr. Carlisle answered ta the negative. He said did not believe In Government responsibility further than hi providing- the most ample safeguards. The Becretary presented table showing the profits of national banks under proposed plan, a compared with their profits under tb pre ent law.

It showed th additional profits aad Inducements would Htnsl banks to tak out circulation. In th course at the general discussion Mr. Car-Hal said he did aot thlak any Imm.mstt retirement of the United Stat Treasury not was practicable. The Secretary spoke of CoaoDtroUer EckaaVa cumin, ptaav. Without wishing to rritrk.

It be thanght Its fatal defect -waa ta requiring national hanks to tak out two dUferent kind of circulating not. Mr. Hall, of Missouri, asked tb Berr-tary as to Mr. Whits' statement that the Treasury piaa lacked eswaalclty. Mr.

Carlisle said- there was no difference between tb plans as to tb amount of circulation which could be taken out Tbe Bhlpmenta oC geld was discussed at much length. Mr. Carnal, said the los of gold waa very heavy after tbe passag of th Sherman tew. The loss of our gold had brought oa financial distrust and had threatened panic. But there had been no real danger.

These panic wer largely the result of sentt-mnt and public feeling Instead of well based fears. During a general discussion between Mr. Carlisle and members of th committee the Secretary referred to the issuing of bonds. He said that aa much as he regretted It be saw no way of preventing the further issue of bonds, as long aa the present sjsi-' tern remained. A KB3fTPCUArs QUERY.

Mr. White waa again questioned after th. Mr. Kill, of Kentucky, asked him If national bank would consent to become guarantors for th note of all the banks. H.

said, at tbe onta, h. doubted whether national banks would adopt this plan, but that they would ultimately accept It Mr. Homer, of Baltimore, then addressed the committee on the Baltimore plan. He spoke of the requisite that a bank note be secure. The- proposed plan undertook to provide this requisite without the necessity of -a Government bond.

This was also secured by th proposed plan, so that the system would be truly national, uniform In all states, Instead of varying In each of the 44 states. He urged that the confidence safety ot the noteholder was best secured by Government redemption. The Baltimore plan gave this authority for redemption to the Government and secured the Government against loss by a guaranty unT and numerous safeguards. The Government Would not be called on to meet the losses of failed banks, except so far as the guaranty fund permitted. It would be a hardship, under the Treasury plan, to require a bank to advance ao per cent and then to guarantee the redemption of its notes.

It was too much to ask of one national bank to become responsible for all other banks, in which It had no direct concern. Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, asserted that the "scheme" presented by Mr. Homer In behalf of the national banks carried confusion to the present confused condition. Mr.

Walker's questions took a wide range. 'during which he Joined issues with Mr. Homer on the merits of many features of the Baltimore Th. committee adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. 0AELI8LE'3 BILL.

Betbaxt.

December 11. Without an exception the most horrible butchery which ever stained th history ot Sonh.m Missouri occurred near Kidseway. Hamilton County, at noon to-day. A.fatUer, mother and three innocent children lie dead with their throat cot from ear to ear as tb result ot tb murderous attacks of the father. David Bpragg and a charming family, con-slstim of wife and six children, lived four and one half miles from.

He was an honest and industrious farmer, well to do and greatly respected by his neighbors. About noon to-day, without giving any signs ot dementia, he walked into the kitchen aud carefully took up a butcher knife. Calling two of the children to him be netted them and made a desperate effort to cat their throats. With the blood spurting from their wounds they cried for their mother, which further enraged the demon of insanity within him. Thinking bis wife, for whom be bad shown for many years the most marked affection, wan about to escape, be tnrned bis attention to ber.

The bloody trail about the premises show wbst A rXBOtiors KTRroOLE exsced In the death combat. The boy who escaped says his mother fought with the desperation of a crazed beast to escape tbe bloody onslaught of ber husband, bat he finally overpowered the little womsn snd rut her throat also. The screams, of the children sobbing tor their mother seemed to Increase his anger, and two other children were soon his victims. With piteous cries they begged the father to spare tbem, but he deliberately butchered them as he had their mother and had attempted to kill the first two. The oldest, a boy of 10.

and the two children whose lives he had first attempted to take, meanwhile made their escape to a neighbor's house and gave the alarm. Only one child out of th family of six was left A BABY SIX MOSJTBS OLD In the cradle and this wa murdered next in th series of butcheries. Then, viewing his swful work, be went out by the side of his wife, and, drawing the same knife over bis own throat, fell across her dead body lifeless. There can possibly be no other cause than Insanity attributed toexp'ain the awful deed, bpragg was never quarrelsome, was not an intemperate man and was never known to abuse his family. On the other hand, be was always indulgent and provident.

The three children who are dead are 0 months, 2 yeans and 4 years old. Tbe two children. 6 and years respectively, who escaped with the oldest child, are badly lacerated, but th wounds will perhaps not wrove fatal. Tbe seen of the tragedy soon attracted the neighbors, and the Coroner and other officers were wired to take charge of the remains. BROWN HAD NERVE.

He Was More Than a Match For His Two Assailants. SFtriSt MUTATCS) TO VS. BSOIMata. Coi.umbds, Ohio, December 11. F.M.Brown, a well-known and wealthy farmer ot Monroe Township, Pickaway County, had been attending church at Five Points.

On bis way home he was required to dxss a lonely spot near the residence of Nelson M. Simmons, where the road was bordered on each side by dense woods. Two men in a buggy, with their horse at full gallop, overtook him and him with revolvers, ordering him to stop, but Mr. Brown, without further ceremony, drew the line when they ordered him to get Into tbeir buggy, and flatly refused to comply. Then one of the men Jumped to the ground and began to shoot at Brown.

The latter, however, has both muscle and nerve, and he promptly closed with his assailant. After a terrific struggle Brown succeeded In getting possession of the revolver. Meantime tbe high way man's companion was prevented from taking a band in the fight because of the struggles of the horse, which was trying to run away. After the revolver had been wrenched from his grasp th highwayman jumped in the buggy, the rearing horse was given its head and tb men disappeared in the darkness. Brown firing three shots at them as they fled.

Some of these shots most have taken effect, as large spots of blood were found on tb road next morning. There is a theory in tbe neighborhood that Brown was mistaken for a well-known young man who was accustomed to pas over the same road, and that the intention was to kidnap. A woman figures in that phase of the case. The affair has caused much excitement in the community, and there ia talk of an organized search lor the ruffians.
