Russian military budget. Orders
have been received here from the
imperial Russian government direct
ing that the sum of money be taken
from the Finnish treasury and paid
over as a contribution toward the
support of the armies of Russia.
The size of the contribution which
Uussia demands from Finland has
caused no little comment. Large sums

Russian army and that some demand
for contributions would be made was
not at all unexpected. Four million

WASHINGTON, D. C.? Although
the plans have not yet been worked
out tn all its details .it Is now
possible to give a general outline of
the proposed Central Bank of the
United States, the establishment of
which will bo recommended to con
gress by the monetary commission.
According to the information reach
ing the United Press, the institution
will be essentially n banker's bank.
It will not receive the public's depo
sits or do a general banking business.
Its main functions will be to act as
fiscal agents for the government and
through its largo note-Issuing capa
city ? limited beyond a certain point
by taxation ? come to the aid of other
national banks in times of emergen
cy. The organized capital of the In
stitution will be $100,000,000 and the
stockholders will be limited to na
tional banks, and perhaps state
banks on a capital basis, with a pro
vision prohibiting any bank from ac
quiring votes exceeding its quota.
The stockholders will elect a board
of directors by territorial districts.
In addition to this governing board,
there will be another board of govern
ment directors, comprising leading,
treasury officials, these to be desig
nated by the president, secretary o{
the treasury and the comptroller of
Jl.i,. _
the currency. . .
If thoy prove competent the active
bank offlcere who are to be selected
Jointly by the boards will serve for
life. The policy of the bank Is to
be left to the board of directors. The
present plan Is for the central bank
to handle all government receipts and
disbursements .Its branches replacing
BubtrcRHurlcB. It will Issue Its own
i.otPa which will be secured by a
large reserve of gold and gilt-edge
commercial paper or credit represent
ing: the actual transmission of busi
ness between solvent concerns. No
loans mRde or discounts will be ac
cepted on bonds, stocks, realty mort
gages or any speculative securities.
It is said that it will not be the
purpose of the bank to make large
profits, but rather provide a reserve
of credit strength and support to na
tional banks, any profits that may
be made will be divided between the
stockholders and the United States
treasury.
Although President Taft and the
chairman of the banking and finan
cial committees of the senate and
house are friendly to the scheme,
the public is admittedly skeptical.
The public fears that It will concen
trate money power and give Wall
street control of the nation's curren
cy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28? A gift of
one million dollars by John D. Rocke
feller to fight the hook worm disease I
was announced at the office of the I
Standard Oil Company here late to- I
day. A dozen well-known educators
and scientists, selected la large part i
from institutions of learning in the :
South where the parasite is prevalent, :
were called In conference with Mr. i
Rockefeller's representatives at the i
Standard Oil Company's office at No. i
?6 Broadway last Tuesday, and at I
that meeting Mr. Rockefeller's desire i
to organize a commission to carry on
a campaign against the malady was
discussed. As a result of this discus
sion of the situation the "Rockefeller
Commission for the Eradication of I
the Hook Worm Disease" was organ
ized.
The "hook worm," according to 1
New York medical autnorltles, is a
hairlike parasite to which is charged
a form of anemia prevalent especial
ly among the poor people of the
South. It was not until recent years
that members of he medical profes
sion recognized that a parasite caused
the malady.
In December, 1902, Dr. Charles
Wardell Stiles, then a zoologist in the
bureau of animal indus'ry at Wash
ington, who had been studying in
testinal parasites, announced to the
I'an-Amerlcan Sanitary Congress his
ness" and '?shiftlessness" widely ob
served in certain portions of the
South was a specific disease due to
the "hook worm." Many members of
'.he congress expressed surprise at the
announcement and up to the present
I he disease has been a matter of some
controversy.
