WATCH OF BANKS Committee on Banking Laws Appointed During Panic Makes Its Report. RESERVE OF STATE BANKS YOLANDE VICTIMS ARE 61 Rescuers Overcome by Stifling Air of Wrecked Mine. 'VOLANDE., Ala.; Dec. 47. At 8 o'clork tonight 42 bodies had been taken from the ill-fated Tolande mines, in which an j explosion occurred yesterday.' Nineteen i more are reported in me mines, making a total or 61 victims. All day long the rescue parties have toiled In the mines here against fearful odds. The hot air and smoke from the explosion have made it difficult to get into the low entries, and several of the rescue party have been overcome at dif ferent times and have had to be brought to the surface for fresh air. Thinks It Should Be the Same as That of Xational Bank:! Advises More Power Given to the State Superintendent. ALBANY, N. T., Dec. 17. The commit tee of bankers appointed by Governor Hughes during the monetary panic to recommend modifications of the New Tork banking 'laws reported to the Gov ernor today measures which would tend to prevent the development of such pan ics. , The report In general expressed the view that in New Tork City state banks should maintain the same cash reserves as National banks, namely, 35 per cent, and that trust companies should main fain also a 25 per cent reserve, not nec essarily all In cash, in their own vaults. A strong presentment is made against the practice of promoters obtaining con trol of a chain of banks to further their own ends. The report says that as New York City Is the financial and commer cial center of this country, her cash bank reserves must not be permitted to become impaired. The committee recommends that tha Plate Superintendent of Banks be em powered to veto the establishment of a bank or trust company or a branch or the purchase of control of one banking Institution by another. Limit Establishing Branches. The committee believes that banks In New York City should not hereafter be permitted to have branches unless they possess a capital of J500.000; and the mem hor think that the banks and trust companies should be made to furnish an additional J100.000 capital for each branch opened. In general, the committee would Increase and make more direct and inti mate the supervisory control of the State Superintendent over all moneyed insti tutions. In the matter of Investment and loans, the committee recommends that It be made compulsory "that all loans discounts and purchases of commercial paper shall be. read to the directors or submitted In written form at the week next succeeding the meeting of the name, and the intentional concealment of the making of such loans, discounts or purchases should be made a misde meanor." and would penalize the inter change of deposits by which directors and officers or others loan indirectly to themselves, or are enabled to obtain control of a chain of banks. Loans on Capital Stock. Pointing out that "the capital stock of all banks and trost companies do ing business in the state of New York amounts In round numbers to $'Jt3,700, 000, and that the market value thereof Is several times larger," the commit tee says that "it would be clearly an Invidious and unjust discrimination against banking Investments to pro hibit the use of such stock as collater al for loans." It Is suggested, how ever, that loans upon such capital stock be limited to 10 per cent qf the capital of the corporation whose stock is offered as collateral. Of so-called "underwritlngs," the committee declares that while individu als and private' banking houses may legitimately participate In such ven tures, "an incorporated bank, or a trust company assuming to discharge trusts of the fidelity nature, has no right to be engaged, through the in strumentality of a syndicate in the construction of trolley lines, power plants or other enterprises of like character." It would also forbid any loan or advance where the institution itself is liable in any event for Its re payment. It is recommended that trust' com panies in New York City be required to maintain a reserve of 25 per cent, of which 15 per cent should be in cash on hand and 10 per cent in some bank or trust company. MAKE CIRREXCY ELASTIC Civic Federation Recommends Ac tion, but Offers No Plan. NEW YORK, Dec. 17.

Incidentally They' Will Test Brawn of Multnomah Men. At the meeting of the directors of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club-held last night It was decided to accept the terms of the University of St. Louis, of St. Louis, Mo., for the New Year's foot ball game. By the terms of the agreement, the St. Louis varsity ream, which is scheduled to play the Washington State College eleven at Spokane on Christmas day, , will come to Portland for New Year's and en gage the crack team of the Multnomah Club in the last game of the footbalrea son of 1907-8. Negotiations for this feat ure for New Year's, have been carried on through President McMillan of the Mult nomah Club and the faculty of the Uni versity of St. Louis for some weeks, and at the meeting of the club directorate last night it was agreed to accept the terms asked by the Eastern varsity. By the terms of the agreement Multnomah guar antees the St. Louis team $1000, with the option of accepting 50 per cent of the gross receipts at the game Instead, and the local club to pay all advertising expenses. In order to secure this game the com mercial bodies of Portland came forward and volunteered financial support to the Multnomah CI rib. but at last night's meet ing It was decided to thank the commer cial bodies for their interest and to refuse the financial support, but request of them to simply use their moral support toward Increasing the attendance at the big game. Multnomah has been assured of the support of the Missouri Society and also that of the Knights of Columbus. Both of these organizations are planning to hold receptions in honor of the visiting players and in addition have promised that everything possible will be done toward promoting the widespread adver tisement of the. coming game. The Unlversy of St. Louis is one of the oldest educational Institutions In the United States, having been founded by the early Catholic missionaries, who traversed the Mississippi Valley years before some of the big cities along the "Father of Waters'1 were established. During the past season the football oleven representing St. Louis has made a splendid record. It has defeated the uni versities of Kansas and Nebraska and several athletic clubs In Its home town. That Multnomah has secured this game is welcome news to football admirers of Portland, for it assures a fitting climax to the football season. In addition, it will form a medium of comparison be- Colonel Crooks' Father Among the First of the Plainsmen Prominently Mentioned by Washington Irving in Hia Book "Astoria" as Hero of Famous Hunt Expedition Son Years Later Built Railroads Along Its Route. THE death of Colonel William Crooks yesterday in this city recalls the fact that the father of this gallant Civil War commander and pioneer railroad builder played an Important part in the very early history of the Oregon country. It was eminently fitting that tire son of Ramsay Crooks, one of the pioneers of pioneers in the Northwest, should com plete his career, which was an important one to the Northwest, In the vicinity of his father's early venturing ground. ' Much concerning the life of Ramsay Crooks is told by Washington Irving in his "Astoria." The first mention of Mr. Crook's by Irving Is when Crooks joined the Hunt exposition, at Mackinaw, on its way across the continent to Astoria. "While thus recruiting the rank and file," writes Irving, "Mr. Hunt was joined by a person whom he had invited by letter to engage as a partner in the expedition. This was Mr. Ramsay Crooks, a young man, a native of Scot land, who had served under the North west Company, and been , engaged in trading expeditions upon his individual account among the tribes of the Missouri. Mr. Hunt knew him personally and had conceived a high and merited opinion of his judgment, enterprise and integrity: he was rejoiced, therefore, when the lat ter consented to accompany him. Mr. Crooks, however, drew from experience a picture of the dangers to 'Which thefr would be subjected, and urged the im portance of going with a . considerable force. "About two years before the time of which we are treating." continues Irving, farther on, "Crooks and McLellan were ascending the river iMissouri) in boats with a party of about 40 men, bound on one of their trading expeditions to the upper tribes. In one of the bends of the river, where the channel made a deep curve under the Impending banks, they suddenly heard yells and shouts above them, and beheld the cliffs over head covered with armed savages. It was a band of Sioux warriors, upwards of six hundred strong." Then Irving goes on to. relate how Crooks turned back, landed, held a parley with his roes, and apparently started a trading post, but really secretly and by night, sent a smaller party on up the river. When these had got beyond the power of the Sioux, Crooks abandoned his supposed post and went down the river, to return later. All this was the result of plotting by another white man and rival trader named Manuel Lisa, the leading partner and agent of the Missouri Fur Company. Armed with such ex perience. Crooks was warmly welcomed into the Hunt Party for its help In cross- lng the country to the mouth of the Co lumbia. Fate had it that this man Lisa should cross 'Crook's path many times before the Journey was done. Irving goes on to tell the history of the Hunt expedition, mentioning Crooks here and there in such a way as to show that Hunt prob ably regarded him as h,ls ablest lieuten ant. As the Hunt expedition traveled up the Missouri It was overtaken by an other under the lead of this same man Lisa. Bad blood existed between the two forces, and especially between Lisa and Crooks and McLellan, because of Lisa's treachery two years ago over the affair with the Sioux. Lisa was try ing to get ahead of the Hunt party, to stir up the Indians and have his en emies massacred. But Irving, in his delightful way, relates how, after a serious row, a peace was patched up, and the two parties became fairly friendly. In all this Crooks was closely con cerned. Only meager quotations can be given here, but perhaps one-eighth of the book, "Astoria." Is given up to adventures and incidents with which Ramsay Crooks was more or less close ly connected. Every few pages his name appears. I John-Day, whose name also i famous in Oregon history. Is frequently men tioned by Irving, and in many places with that of Ramsay Crooks. After the expedition had reached the head of navigation on the Atlantic side, crossed the great divide and was com ing down the Snake River in canoes, Ramsay Crooks' greatest hardships be gan. Tha whole party came to a stand still at what Irving calls "The Caldron Linn." or "The Devil's -Scuttle-Hole." Here the expedition faced starvation, and broke up Into several parties. That under Crooks attempted to go back up the river to a post called Henry's Fort for help, but were obliged to turn back and rejoin the main party. Again the party was divided and started overland In search of the main stream, the Co lumbia, with Astoria, at the mouth, as the final meeting-place. If any of them should live to get there. Irving goes to say: "The wanderers had now accom plished 472 miles of their dreary jour ney, since leaving the Caldron Linn. How much furtner they had yet to travel, and what hardships to encounter no one knew. One the morning of De cember S (1811), they left their dismal encampment, but had scarcely begun their march when. to their surprise, they beheld a party of white men coming up the opposite bank of the river. As they drew nearer they were recognized for Mr. Crooks and his companions. When they came opposite and could make.themselves heard across the mur muring of the river, their first cry rraa iui iuuu, in tact, tney were almost starved." Hunt had a canoe made out of a horse hide and filled It with horse meat. He paddled over to Crooks and his party. Their appearance Is described thus: "The forlorn and wasted looks, and starving condition of these two men struck dis may to the hearts of Mr. Hunt's follow ers. . . They now began to indulge in the horrible presentment that they would all starve together or be reduced to the direful alternative of casting lots. "For the first 18 days after leaving the Caldron Linn he and his men had been confined to half a meal in 24 hours -for three days following they had sub sisted on a single beaver, a few wild cherries and the soles of old moccasins, and for the past six days their only animal food had been the carcass of a dog. But the Hunt division was nearly as bad off as the Crooks' party, so all turned back toward some Indian villages where they hoped- to beg, buy or steal some horse meat. In the end they were compelled to steal several horses by main force, as the Indians themselves were too near starvation to sell the animals at any price. . On the march Crooks and Le Clere were too weak to keep up. so in the hope or saving even a few of his party, Hunt had to abandon them to their fate and leave them behind. Three beaver skins were all the provisions left with which to feed the starving men. Two of these were left with Crooks and his companion. Hunt party later arrived in Astoria In divisions, but Crooks and his com panion were still in the wilderness in midwinter, sick and without food, so they were given up for dead. Irving speaks of how the party cele brated New Year's day, 1812, somewhere among the mountains along the Columbia over "a sumptuous New Year's banquet of dog's meat and horse flesh." And Crooks had not even that. Later another party of white men under a Mr. Stuart, "when below the forks of the Columbia were hailed from the shore in English. Looking around they de scried two wretched men, entirely naked. They pulled ashore. The men came up and made themselves known. They proved to be Mr. Crooks and his faithful fol lower, John Day." In a few days the two reached Astoria, safety, friends and fame.

In spite of the prowess attained by the University of St Louis, there are a. number of enthusiastic clubmen who an ticipate a close game between rhe Multno mah boys and the husky visitors. Multnomah is determined to wipe out the defeats of the present season by mak ing a grandstand finish of the two re maining games. The Spokane Athletic Club on Christmas day will be treated to a most surprising improvement in the class and ability of the local clubmen, for It Is the expressed determination of all the Multnomah squad to wipe out tne disgrace of defeat at Spokane early In November, and should the boys prove victorious in this game It will add all i. e more zest to their efforts against the crack institution from old Missouri. Dudley Clark, "Weary" Bill Chandler, "Stump" Stott, George Carlson, Martin Pratt, Don Walker, Bert Pilkington, Puul Rader and Klrby, tinder the guidance of President George McMillan and Captain Frank Lonergan, are players who form a nucleus of one of the very best football teams that ever represented the Multno mah Club, and from now on until New Year's day these players, as well as an equal number of others, will be found hard at work practicing for the big game against the Easterners on the wlndup date of the football season. GAME FOR THE SEATTLE HIGH Team May Be Picked Vp to Meet Famous Eleven In Portland. Unless present plans, miscarry Portland will be treated to a visit by the crack Seattle High School football team, for it Is now proposed to arrange a meeting between that team and a picked eleven from among the players of tne Hill Mili tary Academy, Portland High School and Portland Academy players of the past season. .The Seattle High School team is really one of the very best Interscholastic teams In the' country. On the day when the University of Oregon met the Uni versity of Washington on the latter'a campus, the Seattle High School was pitted against the Tacoma High School at the downtown park, and the battle be tween the youngsters attracted the larger crowd by fully 1000 paid admissions. The Seattle boys made themselves fa mous during the season of 1906 when they toured the East and won a large num ber of victories, and also when they held their own most decisively against the Chicago team sent to Seattle to meet them in a championship, game. Over In Seattle the High School boys are easily the most popular of the foot ball exponents of the Washington me tropolis, and their approaching visit to Portland is likely to prove a most inter esting treat for the gridiron fans. The present plans are to have the game played on Multnomah Field on Saturday, December 28, Just between the dates of the club's Christmas ' and New Year's games. Bowlers Play Exciting Match.
