rate of New Banks Stockholders to Choose Four. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, November 6 Public ownership and public control of the regional reserve banks was provided for In a res olutlon adopted by the Senate Corainit- tee on Banking and Currency' today. Such a resolution was passed by a vote of 7 to 6, Senators Reed and Hitchcock voting with the Republicans. The resolution embraces the Ideas of Senators Reed, Hitchcock and Weeks, the latter, a Republican.

Senator Weeks pro- pared the resolution and the most slgnlfi cant thing connected with It Is that it is believed to be satisfactory to the Presl dent. Mr. Weeks was at the White House last, evening, talking currency with tho President, and laid befcre him the pro position to give, control of the reglonil banks to the. people. The House bill, provides for bank control and bank ownership of the regional reserves.

Under the resolution passed today the directorate of each regional bank will consist of five named by the Government and four by the banks. The House bill glave the banks the right to name six and the Government three. The resolution adopted by the commit tee also provides public subscription to the stock of the regional banks. Sub scrlptlon to this stock shall be opened to the public for sixty days and the banks will have the privilege, after that time has elapsed of subscribing for the re malniug portion of stock. The action today is thought to hare cleared the way for an agreement In the committee, and may hasten progress of the bill.

President Wilson has been conducting informal conferences with Democratic Senators over the currency situation and many are urging a party conference, not necessarily In the sense of a caucus, but as a movement to make the Democratic party sponsor for the bill In the form the Administration wants it shaped. Senator Kern, the floor leader of the Democrats has sen nit a notice to all Senators to be in Washington next week on account of the probab1 of a Demo cratlc caucus on the banking bill Of course, the question whether a caucus will be called depends upun the action of the Banking and Currency Committee.

PART V. Before Cliirlc H. Kelby, Justice. Frldav, o.oib 'l- 7, 1913. I.

it, aV.r-P, rani Was Agnostic Last Letter Refers to Book. Hereditary insanity was today given by the widow as the cause of the suicide at Huntington, L. of Dr. Herman E. Hjardemaal, a successful Brooklyn osteo pathlc physician with offices in the Al hanibra apartments at Nostrand avenue and Macon street.

Mrs. Hjardemaal de- uied that her husband had killed himself because of her alleged jealousy of his woman patients. Dr. Hjardemaal was found dead in a gas-filled room at his summer cottage at Huntington after the discovery of his deserted automobile had prompted a search for him. His wife had last seen him on Monday when they motored from their Nostrand avenue home to Huntington.

The circumstance of the deserted automobile and the circulation of a report that during his residence in Huntington the doctor had been barrassed by an anonymous letter writer served to throw an atmosphere of mystery about the suicide. There were hints of trouble between husband and wife which crept out in the gossip of neighbors, who asserted that Mrs. Hjardemaal was jealous of the doctor's women patients. That there was any foundation for these stories was denied by Mrs. Hjardemaal at the town house.

According to Mrs. Hjardemaal, her husband's father, a Dane who owned a big plantation In the Danish West Indies, died in an insane asylum In the' city of Aar-hus, Denmark, at about the same age at which the doctor elected to end his life and the son had of late shown a pronounced morbid streak. Dr. Hjardeinaal's practice was good and no other reason can be assigned for his act, says the widow, other than the mental taint, which was handed down from father to son. He was an agnostic, although his wife was a Unitarian, and in a letter, which he wrote to Peter Aitken of Brooklyn, his closest friend, he spoke of his desire to have his body cremated without any services being held over tho remains.

His wishes will be carried out tomorrow, when the body will be Incinerator at the Fresh Pond, L. crematory. Dr. Hjardemaal wrote two letters bo-fore he killed himself. One was to his wife and was very brief.

In it he wrote "May tltc God you believe in comfort adding that he had a great deal more to say, but that all he would set down was his love. The other letter, the one to Aitken, referred to several conversations the two had engaged in on the subject of the-osophy. Mr. Aitken had read a book written by an author who Identified himself on with the initials and entitled "The Great Work." The book deals with immortality. In the letter to Aitken the doctor had written: "I hardly think that T.

K. will be far ahead of me. I shall soon know.1' This was taken to mean thnt he expected to learn what there is beyond life. In Huntington It has been common talk that the doctor and his wife disagreed over his women patients. A report that Dr.

Hjardemaal had a quarrel tvhen they were last together on tho trip to Hunt ington, on Monday evening, was denied by Mrs. Hjardemaal. The deserted automobile was found on Tuesday morning at daybreak. The Secretary of State's office at Albany was communicated with, and it was learned that the car was the property of Dr. Hjardemaal.

Then Mrs. Hjardemaal was called up on the telephone in Brooklyn, and she begged that aeareh be made for her husband at once, as she feared that he might have ended his life. The door of the Hjardemaal cottage was forced, and the doctor was found seated on a mattress against the wall. He had taken a dose of morphine first ana tnon xurneu on tne gas. we naa Deen dead about twenty-four hours.

He had removed the photographs of his father and mother and himsolf from the family album In Brooklyn, and they were found in an envelope on the bureau near the body. He had written on the envelope that he had intended to destroy them, but he had changed his mind. $275,000 APARTMENT. Will Be One of the Largest Structures of Kind on Park Elope. A six-story elevator apartment house to cost upward of $275,000 Is to be erected on 'the southeast corner of Eighth avenue and Third streot.

Tlje structure will occupy a plot of ground 95x147 feet and be the largest pnrtment building in Park Slope section. The property on which the building will be erected is part of the old Litchfield estate, which originally extended from the Oowanua Canal to a point about half a mile south of the Litchfield Man-rion, now occupied by the Park Department. The land was sold to the Cranston Construction Company of this borough some time ago. The apartment is to be built by this company from plans being drawn by Shampan Shampan, architects. According to the plans which were shown to an Eagle representative today the structure will be one of the finest types of apartment buildings In the city.

It will be designed in French Renaissance style and constructed of Indiana limestone, granite and marble. The lobby, foyer hall and reception hall wilt be finished in marble. There is to be a courtyard at the rear of the entrance in the center of which will be a bronze and marble fountnin. While the building is to bo six stories high, it will accommodate only twenty-four families. W0MANAND SHOE STOCK GONE Petition in Bankruptcy Filed Against Mrs.

"Kate'' Ungerleider. Unable to tiud Mis. "Kate" Ungerleider or any of her property since she ceased conducting a retail shoe store at 35 Sumner avenue, Louis M. Taylor, as assignee of a claim for $500 today filed an Involuntary petition in bankruptcy against her in the United States Court. Taylor, who owns the claim of the W.

1 H. McEhvain Company for merchandise. states in his petition that on November the entire stock of Mrs. Ungerlelder'a shoe shop was sold to an auctioneer and that neither she nor tho goods she has not paid for can be located. The woman's first name may not be "Kate," but Mr.

Taylor doesn't know what It Is and so ho gave her a "legal name" to make his petition perfect. "HAM SALE" FOB, HOSPITAL. A novel feature in tho work of the Woman's Auxullary In the rasing of money ill aid of the Bushwick Hospital Fund is what Is caned "a ham sale," which will take place at 1(140 Fulton street, near Ralph avenue, on Saturday. Through the generous offer of Albert Rosen and Herman Relsa, about 1,000 hams and shoulders will be placed oil sale at a reasonable price In comparison with market rates. The profits of the sale will be donated to the fund.

Members of the auxiliary will take person.il charge of the rale nnd hope to kept busy waiting upon a large number of Justice Seabury. in the Supreme Court. Manhattan, this afternoon, listened to arguments as to why, and why he should uot, grant a writ of mandamus to restore to her position Mrs. Bridget C. Peixotto, jrmer teacher iu charge of Public School Xo.

14, Troggs Neck, the Bronx, who was dismissed from tho service a month ago. because, as was stated at a meeting of the Board of Education, she had given birth to child. Tlfred J. Talley represented Mrs. Pelxotto, and Charles Mclu-tyre, Asslstunt Corporation Counsel, rep resented the Board.

In the course of the argument Mr. Mc-lutyre staled positively that Mrs. Pelx-otto was dismissed, not because she had become a mother, but because of absence without leave, refusing to be committed to the charge made by Mr. Talley that it was not on acjount of absence, but on account of having become a mother, that brought about her dismissal. Mr.

Talley in opening his argument said that it was a clean-cut question as to whether the Board of ESducation had a right to remove a teacher on the sole ground thut she had while in tho service become a mother. Ho attempted to show that Mrs. Pcixotto was dismissed on that ground, and that alone. He quoted the two specifications of charges which had been served on his client the first stating plainly that she had been absent without leave because she was- pregnant, and the later specification which simply stated that she had been absent without leove. Justice Seabury inquired whether Mr.

Talley had exhausted all his remedies before coming to the Supreme Court. Mr. renlied that he had not. but had considered it proper under the terms of the decision of the Board of Education to apply to the court instead of to the Commissioner of Education. Mr.

Mclntyre objected to Mr. aueys reading of the report of the High School Committee's action in the case of Mrs. Edgell, although Mr. Talley contended that that case was similar to that of his client. In order to show that his contention was correct, that Mrs.

Peixotto was dismissed because she had become a mother, Mr. Tallev proceeded to read the ma jority and minority reports of the Com mittee on Elementary Schools, oeiore which Mrs. Peixotto had been tried. He was interrupted by Justice Seabury, who said he knew the circumstances. It was then that Mr.

Mclntyre asserted that Mrs. Peixotto was dismissed because she was absent without leave and that the question of her motherhood did not enter into the case. The disposal of the case of Mrs. Kath-erlne C. Edgell of Erasmus Hall High School, which has been declared by the Board of Education to be "similar to the case of Mrs.

Peixotto," each of whom was absent for the purpose of giving birth to a child, hinges on the decision of Justice Seabury. At Its meeting yes-, terday afternoon the high school committee of the Board of Education adopted a resolution, which stated: "Inasmuch as the Peixotto case comes before tho Supreme Court shortly, it would be inadvisable to take any action in the case now before the board that would lend to the dismissal of the teacher, as that would necessitate the engagement of a substitute, and the subsequent payment of two salaries for one employment should the decision of the court be against the board." This resolution will be referred to the Board of Educatiou at its next meeting on Wednesday, November 12. That board may decide to reverse it. At the meeting of the committee yesterday there were present Arthur S. Som-ers, chairman; John Greene, Egerton L.

Winthrop Miss Olivia Leventritt. Dr. Ira S. Wile. Prank D.

Wilsey. AH of these members were opposed to the dismissal of Mrs. Peixoto, except Mr. Wilsey. The action yesterday, however, was unanimous.

The committee also decided that Mr3. Edgell's name bo restored to the payroll, from which it was stricken at the time ehe absented herself from school, although she had not been suspended. She will receive all her back pay, for the Saturdays and Sundays and holidays during her absence, according to the rules of the board, nnd for the time she has served since September 8. The committee received Information from the auditor of the board by whose instruction he had stricken her name from the payroll, but tho name of his authority was not divulged, the meeting being held in secret. WHOLESALE KILLING FOILED.

Plot to Murder President Diaz of Nicaragua and His Cabinet Frustrated. Managua, Nicaragua, November 6 The frustrated plot to assassinate President Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua and all his cabinet ministers on October 29 was laid by the conspirators with remarkablo care, according to details published here today. The plotters, it appears, were members of the Liberal party, and they had divided themselves into three groups. Tho llrst of these was charged with the work of killing the President and two cabinet ministers while they were driving together in a carriage in Managua; the second was to assassinate Vice-President Fernando Solorzano and the Minister of Foreign Affairs; nnl the third was to throw dynamite bombs among the members of the Chamber of Deputies while they were gathered in session on tho afternoon of October 29. The discovery of the conspirators while they were holding a meeting to arrange the final details of the plot was purely accidental, and nearly all of those connected with tho affair have been lodged In jail.

BROWNS MAY GET CADY. Chicago, November 6 Except for a rumor that St. Louis wanted Catcher Cady of Boston, no trade talk reac'ied the ears of the public when American magnates gathered today for their annual meeting here. The purchase of Cady was suggested to Robert McRoy of the Boston club in an Informal way, It was said, and there was little chance of Its going through. Owner Farrell, of the New York club, was late In reporting for the meeting of the board of directors.

Though he centered with several other club owners he announced no deals as he joined the other directors in the gathering that proceded tho session ot the league. SIR W. H. PREECE DEAD. Loudon.

These modest reports showed much accomplished in clothing the needy, feeding tne poor, visiting the sick and sending flowers i.o the sorrowful.

One branch after doing all it could iind to do for the living took upon itself the care of the village graveyard, trimming hedges and cutting grass and making God's Acre a place of order and of peace. The Home for Women and Girls in Brooklyn supported by the order, profited by the work of every circle, nnd ilie seamen were not forgotten, nor the Fresh Air Fund.

At today's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, resolutions were introduced with a view toward establishing In the City of New York a College of Commerce and a Museum of Commerce and Civics. The committee In charge reports that it is the consensus of opinion of some of the most prominent educators in the country that there is much need in this city, of an institution where young men may prepare for business, just as they may now prepare for other professions The school proposed is intended to have entrance requirements similar to those of the City College. It would bo conducted upon the same lines as a college of arts and sciences and would afford the same mental discipline and culture-training and would lead to a baccalaureate degree.

Provision would he made for both four and three-year courses, but facilities should be extended so thut even those who attend only one or two years can take advantage of complete courses. Continuation and evening classes are proposed for young men who are employed, but who desire to extend their knowledge and training. It was proposed that a fund be secured for this purpose by the Chamber of Commerce and that the building be erected under Us auspices and presented to the city, on condition that ihe city assume tho maintenance expense. Toward this fund four subscrip tions of $50,000 each have been secured, and a member who desired for tho present to remain unknown offered to provide on condition that the $200,000 already subscribed be devoted to tho eBtabllsnment ot a commercial and Civic Museum. The proposed location for the new college is on the old site of the City College, Lexington avenue and Twenty-third street, which is now available.

The present building Is not BUitable, and a building offering necessary facilities and including the proposed museum would cost at leasf fSOO.000. The management Is to be placed under tne joint administration of the College of the City of New York and of the Chamber of Commerce. BANKING CO. IN TROUBLE.
