TRCST CONTROLLED BANKS
Five Men Control lVnosita Aggre
gating $100,000,000.
Washington. I). C-The first tcsti
mony as to concentration of money
and credit" was heard Wednesday by
the house banking ami currency com
mittee in iU investigation of the
called money trust.
W. B. Frew, president of the Corn
Exchange bank, of New York, and
chairman of the New York Clearing
house committee, occupied the stand
throughout the day and tu put
through a grilling examination by
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee.
Through Mr. Frew Mr. Untermyer
put into the record evidence of trust
agreements by which five men control
two of New York's greatest financial
institutions, the Bankers' Trust com
puny and the Guaranty Trust com
puny, with aggregate deposits of near
ly $400,000,0110. The Bankers' Trust,
Mr. Frew said, was corttrolledby II. P.
Davison, George 15. Case and Daniel
G. Ried, the Guaranty company by II.
P. Davidson, George F. Zakor and
William P. Porter.
These men hold and vote the stock
of the comttames, except enough to
allow a board of directors to qualify.
and under the trust agreements have
authority over the affairs of the com
panies. even to the acquistion of other
institutions.
Mr. I'ntermver secured from Mr,
Frew a description of the methods by
which money is attracted to New York
when small country merchants and
farmers demand funds for the move
ment of crops or the accommodation of
their business affairs. Mr. Frew said
that the money was needed on the
New York Exchange for speculative
purposes; that country banks kept
large sums on deposit in New York ;
that thus fthe "home" demand for
money became strong, the New York
price for money rose and the New
York banks, in order to gain the big
interest charges, put their money out
on call loans on the New York Stock
Exchange. All these loans are based
on Mock Exchange collateral, .Mr.
L'ntermyer elicited.
TOLLS BELIEVED TOO HIGH
John Barrett Sees Great Future
From Panama Business.
Atlanta. Ga. John Barrett, direc
tor of the Pan-American Bureau, ad
dressing the Southern commercial
conference here expressed the opinion
that President Taft had made a
mistake in fixing canal tolls at the
high rate of $1.20 a ton.
Mr. Barrett declared the United
States would gain far more than it
would lose by exacting the minimum
toll of "5 cents a ton, which would
permit small shipowners to compete
with large companies by use of the
canal.
What the opening of the transcon
tinental railroad meant to the Pacific
Coast states, the opening of the Pan
ama canal will mean to the fertile Pa
cific Coast states of South and Central
America, said Mr. Barrett.
It is time now for the United
States to get ready for the opening of
the canal, he declared, and to
awaken to the wonderful trade possi
bilities of the near future."
MAN FINDS TOIL IS SWEET
Court Thanked For Permitting Hus-
bund to End Idleness.
Chicago The unique sentence of 30
davs of idleness imposed on Josenh
Girsch by Judge Newcome' came V
an end Wednesday, and the court vl
emnly assured the culfrit that he
might resume his bread-winning occu
pation. Girsch thanked the court profusely.
His sentence was inflicted a month
ago at the requset of his wife, who
complained that when her husband
worked he earned money; when he
had money he spent it for drink, and
when he drank he was too irritable to
live with.
Cash Registers "Junk."
Cincinnati Nine witnesses occupied
the stand Wednesday during the trial
of President Patterson and 29 other
officials or former officials of the Na
tional Cash Register company, charged
by the government with having vio
lated the criminal section of the Sher
man anti-trust act. Eugene Clem, of
Los Angeles, a former National Cash
Register salesman, testified that he
had helped smash several II all wood
machines that were later exhibited
in a display window of a National
store as "junk.
War Insurance Extensive.
London An enormous amount of
insurance covering risks of war and
civil commotion has been effected dur
ing the past few days on property on
the Galician frontier, dividing Russia
from Austria-Hungary. Underwrit
ers in Lmdon are astonished at the
flow of business, which they describe
as the most extensive ever placed in
connection with any crisis. Buildings
connected with the oil, lumber and
brewery trades in Austria-Hungary
have been insured for large amounts
and orders are still pouring in.
Taft May Be Professor.
New York President Taft will not
go to Cincinnati and practice law
when he leaves the White House, but
has about accepted a professorship in
Yale law school. This statement was
made by a close friend of Taft, who
said he was acquainted with the presi
dent's plans. The information said
that President Taft would accept
the Kent professorship of law, whi h
has been unfilled since the death of
Edward J. Phelps in 1900.
Couple Mutilate Child.
Cerlere, Franre A man and wife
living in the village of Gave, in Cata
lonia, were recently caught while
gouging out the eyes of their G-year-old
child with the object of rendering it
more pitiable and thus able to obtain
as a beggar more sympathy from the
public. The child was made blind be
fore the two could be arrested.
FEW OF THE ARISTOCRATS WHO OPENED Till. M M

POULTRY SHOW
DRAWS CROWD
Fourth Annual
Successful of Any
Poultry, Guinea Pigs. Pigeons, Bel
gian Hares, Etc., Make Most
Interesting Variety.
Class! That is the word. The
Fourth Annual Poultry show of the
Oregon Poultry and Pet Stock associa
tion, held in Portland, December 9-14,
was the best Jet. It was the most in
teresting and most successful ever held
in the state.
The entries were very large. A Unit
1500 birds were shown, and nearly 2.)
individual exhibitors had birds for
scoring and prizes. Beisdes chickens.
which were shown in 33 classes, there
were some fancy stock, Guinea pigs,
pigeons, Belgian hares, etc. The ap
pliances exhibits were also exceptional
ly good and a study of them was well
worth while to poultrj'fnen and those
interested in the business. Modem
coops, up to date feeding apparatus
and all sorts of foods and remedies
were shown.
The Plymouth Rocks were most nu
merous of any single class. In the
Rock section there was a really remark
able collection of cockerels the larg
est and best ever gathered in the
west, and the birds were particularly
fine. Entries were made from every
part of Oregon and Washington was
well represented. Birds from Idaho
were also present, anil California,
too, had representatives. Following
the Rocks, the Wyandotte were per
haps next in number. Then crone
the Leghorns, and then the Rlnle
Island Reds and Orpingtons. The
showing of games was not as heavy as
in some past years, but the represen
tatives of both pit games and the big
Cornish birds was fair. There was not
a large representation of Minorca
either, but excellent birds, both black
and white were on exhibition. Among
the Mediterranean group the Anconas
and Andaluians were noted. A g'x!
showing of Hamburgs, too, was noted.
For the first time in a Portland show
the Sicillian Buttercups have been
entered. This is a new breed. The
combs are cuped, and supjiosi-d to re
semble the flower for which the . birds
are named. . These birds are Mediter
raneans, and appear to be larger than
most of this group. They are of gold
en plumage with a peculiar dark mot
tling,. Their owners claim a heavier
bird, a betu-r meat and quicker growth
than any other fowl in the group, and
a very large egg production. They
are attracting no little attention
among the lovers of new breeds, and
they are handsome in bearing and
plumage.
H. H. Collier, of Tacoma. has the
scoring of the American breeds, in
cluding the Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, etc.
Judge MiHer Purvis, of Windle,
Ha ho, scores the Mediterranean birds.
Many fine birds were entered in the
show a year ago, and it is a matter of
doubt if this year shows any finer
birds from an individual standpoint;
but, on the other hand, the entries were
Itain and Snow Aid Wheat.
Davenport, Wash. Novemlwr, as
observe by the station at Davenport,
had a mean temperature of 3C.9 de
grees, which is five and a half degrees
warmer than the mean for the same
month in 1911. Rain or light snow
fall on 13 days of the month netted
2.42 inches of water, every particle of j
which went into the ground ami aided
greatly in bolstering the winter wheat
already sprouted. In November of
1911 the rainfall was 1.8 inches,
brought on by the heavy snows of
that month. '
Farmer Want New Line.
Colfax, Wash. Representatives
from the Northern Pacific, Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company, and Inland Empire Elirctric
line, met with the Colfax Commercial
club and farmers of Western Whitman
county. The farmers are asking that
a road be built through a district West
of Colfax through a rich farming re
gion, where farmers are now hauling
their grain 10 miles to the nearest
market. The proposed railway would
extend 40 mile down Akli flat and
Union flat.

Attendance was very gid, and a
