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

On the subject of credit currency,
which had been favored by some speakers
during the various meetings, the com
mission said:

. 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

of this Congressional committee and the
vigorous iy in which It has entered upon

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

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.

FORGERY BY WHOLESALE

IX LOS ANGELES.
Whole Pages of Directory Copied on
Petition for Popular Vote on
Dancehall Ordinance.
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."

ADVANCE RATES IN WEST
Railroad Officials Say It's Either
That or Bankruptcy.
ST. IjOUI3. Cct 1. C. C. Halle, vice

souri. Kansas & Texas Railroad, testified
before the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion here today that freight rates will be
advanced on all lines tn the territory of
the western trunk lines committee and on
all roads in the territory of the trans-Missouri
committee. The former embraces

Rivers and the latter embraces the coun
try west of the Missouri River as far as
Vtah.
An increase in freight rates, said Mr.
Haiie. la imperative. If the railroads are
to escape bankruptcy. The amount of the
approaching advance has not been settled,
though the general understanding seems to
be that it ill not exceed 10 per cent.
When the advance Is to bjcome effec
tive was not brought out In the testimony
today.

WANTS PUBLICITY
BEFORE ELECTION
Bryan" Answers Taft's State
ment About Campaign
Expenses.
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.

So far there has been no inclination to

the accident was not avoidable. How
