AGAINST GUARANTEE PLAN iAMociation Also Condemns Postal 6Tln Banks Hopes for Good Rffiults From Monetary Com mlMtlon Reynolds President. prAVER. Oct. l.-The Wth annual con ation of the. American Banker.' Associ ation came to an end this afternoon lth the election of George M- f Chlcairo. president, and H of New York, nrst vice-president. Thlrty-ig-ht new members were announced and a vice-president representing each of trie rtRtes having representatives in the as sociation was named. The convent ion also placed Itseir iuarely on record as against both the proposition to guarantee bank deposits and to establish postal savings banks. Nearly two hours were consumed with the reports of vice-presidents from the several states, the consensus of which was that the effects of the recent panic .re rapidly passing away throughout the country. Step Toward Asset Currency. In the report of the currency commis sion, which was adopted at the morning session, the chairman used the?e words In referring to the Aldrich-Vreeland measure: In the Aldrich-Vreeland menmre, how evr open to iwvere crlt!'lm. Concrete by law h-t roocnJd the normal mini legiti mate mmst ot a bank a th natural and proper bsta nf credit extended to the fan In th form of circulating notes. The principal for which we have mn tone con tnded haa thus recHved .esiaiativa sanc tion. To thia extent the labors of th mfiran Bankers' Association have been crowned with aucceaa On the subject of credit currency, which had been favored by some speakers during the various meetings, the com mission said: Th credit currency recommended In your fTtimli!r,n'i first- report and approved by thta association at Its lat convention had further proof of Its soundness In principle and efficiency in f pnvtim In thos wMintnn having; such a currency, during the world wide crisis of lat Fall. While maintaining open minds as to the wisest method of Us Incorporation Into our own banking system. It is our belief that a enrrency based on this prlntpi. so sa and efficient in the experience of other nations, will be found essential In our own system. Relies on Monetary Commission. . The Commission's report also said: It was sounht to Impress upon i"ons;reas t!iat. If no possp:i to enact Immediately such laws as would give us a thoroughly lertinc banking- and currency system. It would be aisest to defer all action on the subject except for the appointment of an able committee Instructed to make a thor ough Inrestlgat'on and submit Its resolutions t a subsequent Congress. Although this view wss not adopted in full, the come m fusion fels that Us -efforts were not In aln. Inasmuch as the committee? desired was appointed by t'ongress. The high stand ing and recogntxed ability of the members of this Congressional committee and the vigorous iy in which It has entered upon titt Important -work warrant the confident expectation that Us report and recommen dations mill form the basis of such actions as will give u a banking and currency sys tem such as our yam commercial Interests so urgently need, and such as will mske this country the greatest financial power In the world. Ajtalnst Deposit Guaranty. The question of guaranteeing bank de posit was brought m.uarely before the convention at Its afternoon session In a report by the association's Federal legis lative committee, which takes a decided stand In opposition to sneh action by either the Feedral or state governments. The report in part Is as follows: Tour committee Is crpeed to the guaran teeing cf deposits by either state or Federal (oterniuents. or the spuming of a tr.iTe hip by either of a guarantee fund, believ ing that It W'Mtli be a function wholly out eioe of any pur(xe for which elate or Fed-r-al Governments were organized, and for the further fact that the a&aunUtig of a trustee ship would be misleading to the general pub lic, a It Is not a guarantee by either stale cr Federal Government, and that such a law would work t th detrlitient. not only of the banks, but to the depositing public as WtU.

AiexanJer Gifbert. president ol the New Tork CIarinn-Hou and president of ths Market and Fulton National Bank In New York City, replied to the charge that New Tork banks suspended cash payments and refused accommodation to out-of-town correspondents so as to ob tain a hlKh interest In Wall street, and told of conditions in New Tork at the time of the panic of 107 and what the Clearing-House did to alleviate those con dition. Eastern bankers, he said, foresaw the panic The great amount of speculation that bad been carried on in 190 and i sot and th abnormal interest rates had developed a feeling of caution and of ap prehension. Interior banks naa seni 10 v York a lanre amount of money to be loaned In Wall street at the prevailing high rates of Interest. The first sign 01 a flurry would result m the recall of this money. Money had been borrowed abroad and the burden of providing for a re newal of these loans at maturity would fall on New Tork. The trust companies carried a heavy rolume of deposits with a very small percentage of cash reserve. Beside this the Clearing-House feared that some of the large Institutions had been weakened by unwise speculation. When the panic occurred the storm center was in New Tork. The Clearlng House acted as the bulwark of the finan cial world to withstand the strain of the panic. It acted at all times, said Mr. Gil bert. In a way that would protect the weak places. It kept the door of its treasure-houses partly open, and sent out coin shipments as long as it could before issuing Clearing-House certificates. In commenting upon the criticism that had been made that the New Tork banks loaned large sums ot money in Wall street during the panic, Mr. Gilbert said that it was done with the Intention of protecting the weak places and not to ob tain the high rate of Interest.

LOS ANGEJES. Oct. 1. An alleged at tempt to perpetrate a fraud on the City Council by means of wholesale forgery of the names of the prominent men of Los Angeles was discovered today by deputies of Hanvr J. Leland. City Clerk, while en gaged in comparing with the great regis ter the names contained in the referendum petition demanding that the Council sub mit the dancehall ordinance to the people. The evidence was laid before the City Clerk today, after a careful examination had established the fact that names had been clumsily forged. Whole pages had been obviously copied direct from the city directory without any attempt to veri fy the names. The petition fairly teems with for geries." Mr. Iceland said. "My deputies tell me that of the JOOO names submitted. It does not seem now likely that enough genuine signatures will be found to make the petition effective. About 3000 names are needed."

SAYS HE INSULTS VOTERS Inslrta That Official Will Be In fluenced by Gratitude to Sub scribers and Says Suspicion of Voters' Intelligence Unjust. UNCOLX.. Xeb.. Oct. 1. Declaring that ''every disinterested voter knows that large contribution have been used to secure mortgages upon officials," W. J. Bryan tonight Issued at Fairview a state ment criticising the adoption by W. H. Taft. his Republican opponent for Presi dent, of president Roosevelt's announced view on the subject of publicity of cam paign contributions. "Mr. Taft,'' says Mr. Bryan, "now makes the flame charge the President does, the astounding charge that the voters are so liable to be misled that the knowledge (as to the amounts and sources of campaign contributions) must be kept from them." Mr. Bryan then adds: 4,I insist that this Is an insult to the intelligence of the voter and it does little credit to Mr. Taft'a Judgment of the men to whom he is making hi ap peal." Points Out Difference. In his statement Mr. Bryan said: I am urpri?ed to And that Mr. Taft in dorses the President's views on the sub ject of publicity as to campaign contri butions, but since he holds these views I am glad that he makes them known now. We have now publicity before the elec tion as to his opinion, even if he does not believe in publicity of contributions unti1 after the election. He fails to see the dif ference between the publication of contri butions before election and the publication, of expenditures before election. The publi cation of expenditures is required to show whether corrupt methods have been em ployed In the election, and as the expendi tures continue up to the close of the polls it would be impossible to make a complete publication until after election. The publication of contributions ought to be before election ; the main cause is to show the main sources from which the con tributions come in order that the public may know which party predatory interests are supporting. Every one who knows human nature knows that the element of gratitude must always be considered In human affairs. Ingratitude has been de scribed as a worse sin than revenge, for In gratitude repays good with evil, while re venge only repays evil with evil. Every disinterested voter knows that large con tributions have been used to secure mort gages upon officials. The publication of contributions throws a great deal more light upon the Influence at work in politics than the publication of expenditures, for the publication of contributions shows to whom the party Is indebted and to whom repay ment Is likely to be made, while the pub lication of expenditures shows what has been paid out and disbursements do not create obligations that affect the course of the administration. Quotes Taft on Publicity. Mr. Taft says that "the proper object, of a publicity law is to prevent the use of money for bribery and other Improper pur poses in elections and to enable the law officers of the Government and the public to determine whether the contributions made were properly expended for legitimate purposes." And he adds: "The requirement that the names and amounts of the persons contributing should also be shown is for the purpose of enabling the public and the prosecuting officers of the Government to Judge whether subsequent official action has been improperly anecwa in in"' contributors by the successful candidates." This, he says, can all be accomplished by publication after the election. He then proceeds to indorse the position taken by the President, declaring that "the chief ob jection to the publication of contributions before the election is that It makes certain i l list in in neai "c J (Ives of those who contribute to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign win be misconstrued, perverted and misrepre sented. The candidates." he also insists, "In whose behalf the contributions are made, will be charged in the most unfair way as being completely under the control of those who make the contributions." Insult to Voters, Bays Bryan. Here he makes the same charge that the President does the astounding charge that the voters are so liable to be misled that the knowledge must be kept from them. I tnsist that It Lb an Insult to the Intelligence of the voters, and It does little credit to Mr. Taft's Judgment of the men to whom he Is making his appeal. Mr. Roosevelt may have made this statement thoughtlessly and on the Impulse of the moment, but Mr. Taft brings the same In dictment agntnst the voters with delibera tion and after he has read a criticism of the President's views. It Is fair to charge, therefroe, that Mr. Taft la either expecting to receive contributions which would arouse suspicion among Intelligent people or contributions which, if known, would arouse an unjust suspicion among a people too ignorant to form a correct Judg ment upon the facts. Bryan's Wedding Anniversary. UXCDIsX, Xeb.. Oct. 1. William J. Bryan arrived in Lincoln at 4 o'clock this morning, after campaigning nearly a month in the Bast, the Middle West and the Northwest. As the train bearing him home pulled Into the station, the Taft special was on a sidetrack, ready to continue Its Journey a couple of hours later. Mr. Bryan today celebrated the twenty fourth anniversary of hia marriage, and all the members of the family joined with him In receiving the congratulations of friends and neighbors.

The men were placed aboard this train and brought to the city. Ambulances were telegraphed for ahead and there was no delay in getting the Injured to the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Berman. Petit.

He died at 7 o"clock, two hours after reaching the hospital. Inquest to Be Held at Scnppoose. The bodies of the dead were left at Scappoose. wliere an Inquest will be held. So far there has been no inclination to blame the Chapman Lumber Company, it being generally said by eyewitnesses that the accident was not avoidable. How ever, a thorougti investigation is to be made, so it was announced at Scappoose last night, to determine whether or not anvone micht be found to blame. Great difficulty was experienced in identifying desd and injured. The men were "all . foreigners. French, Italians. Finns and Swedes. There is no record at this time as to their homes or relatives. The majority, if not all arS believed to be single men. Most of them were sup plied by Portland employment agencies. Others were hired on application at the Chapman camp. The books give all as coming from Portland. Seappoose is a town on the Northern Pacific Railway about 10 miles north of Portland. -Iila.ti2lS w""1"" rT- fhge killed and Injured was a most difficult one to unravel and not until late last night were the names of all the vic tims available. The camp has 200 men and their names appear only on time books at the camp. Identifica tion Is not needed except In paying off the force and only by checking over the time books and taking gang fore men and employes to the Scappoose morgue could the dead be Identifled. Names of the Injured were learned from Andrew Lund, one of the seyerely Injured, at the hospital. Of the six men now being attended at the hospital, all are expected to re cover. Two of them. Tony De Grado and David Davidson. are merely bruised. The others have - broken limbs and will sot be able to get about for months.
