HIS LIST OF BANKS
Campaign Following Charge
of Exacting Excessive In
, terest Goes On.
RESERVE CITIES ACCUSED
Secretary Says He Is Informed New
York Banks Make Money Cost
Correspondents Eight Per
Cent or More.
WASHINGTON, Sept. a5. Continuing
his campaign against high interest
rates ana the hoarding' of money by
banks. Secretary McAdoo made public
tonight a lint of nearly 250 National
banks, in all sections ot the country,
outside reserve and central reserve
titles, which are carrying reserve in
exress of legal requirements.
The list is based on reports to the
Controller of the Currency in answer
to his call of September 12. It shows
that the reserves in these banks run
Iroin 25 per i'ent to 74 per cent, the
leiil minimum being 15 per cent.
"If," K:iid Mr. McAdoo, in a state
ment Riven out with the list, "the large
amount of loanable funds that are kept
from active employment, as indicated
by these figures, were invested In com
mercial or agricultural paper, or lent
on iMoper security the present situa
tion would bo greatly relieved."
The Secretary's . statement, referred
to the list as showing "some" of the
National bunks carrying excessive re
fcives and It was understood that fur
ther, lists would follow iu accordance
with his recent announcement.
Included in Secretary. McAdoo's list
Ihowing the percentage of reserves car
ried by each bank are the following:
Montana F'irst National, Butte, 41
per rent; Yellowstone National, Bil
linprs. per cent; Kirst National, Great
Falls. 35 per cent; First National, Olas
gow, "!i per cent.
Washington First National, Belling
ham. 87 per cent: Yakima National,
North Ynkima. 3!) per cent: Capital Na
tional. Olympia, 41 per cent.
Oregon First National, Vale, 35 per
C(nl.
Kxcesssive Interest Alleged.
Secretary McAdoo today sent a tele
gram to the New York, Boston, Chi
cago and St. Louis clearing-house
chairman, saying:
"I have received complaints about
hi.h rates of interest which are being
charged by the National banks of New
York, Boston, Chicago and other re
serve cities. It is alleged that the
New York banks are requiring their
correspondent banks throughout the
country to pay 7 per cent for loans
and to maintain a balance with the
New York banks, which makes the
money cost the correspondent banks
the equivalent of 8 per cent or more.
Specific cases have been brought to my
attention where banks in cities of the
South have been required to pay these
high Interest rates. If New York
charges the equivalent of 8 per cent
interest to the correspondent banks, the
money cost to the ultimate borrower is
made high, if not exorbitant.
'From all the evidence before me T
cannot feel that the charge of 7 to 8
per cent interest by the New York
banks is justified, under the circum-
stancee.
Withdrawals Are Threatened.
"I have taken the position with all
the banks of the conutry that I will
not knowingly issue additional National
bank currency to or deposit Govern
ment funds with banks which charge
excessive rates of Interest or which
are refusing to meet legitimate de
mands for reasonable credits. I have
also taken the position that I will with
draw Government funds from National
banks which are hoarding money and
restricting credits through the, main
tenance of excessive reserves. The
New York banks generally have not
been hoarding money or maintaining
excessive reserves, but they appear to
be charging higher rates of interest
than the conditions seem to justify.
"I am using every just effort to per
suade the banks throughout the coun
try to extend reasonable credits and at
reasonable rates of Interest to meet the
existing unusual conditions created by
the European war, and which, if dealt
with in a helpful spirit by all con
cerned, should quickly ameliorate.
Eumiile of Liberality Desired.
"I should like to see the New York
-banks take the lead in establishing and
maintaining moderate rates of interest
for accommodations, as their example
always has a large influence upon
banking action and sentiment In the
country. If this course Is pursued by
the leading bankers in New York and
other money centers, a real public serv
ice will be rendered and a return to
normal conditions of business will be
quickened.
"I have been using to the utmost
every power of this Department to as
sist the general business situation and
the banks and I ask only for co-opera
tion on the part of the banks in an
unselfish and patriotic spirit."
THREE MORE ARE MISSING

TRUST AND HARBOR BILLS.
Scnator Overman Announces Probabil
ity of Investigations by Spe
cial Committee. ;
"WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. Frequent
charges and insinuations that insidious
Influences have been at work in Wash
ington in connection with anti-trust
and rivers and harbors legislation have
prompted Senator Overman, chairman
of the special lobby investigating com
mittee, to consider calling his commit
tee to complete its inquiry begun more
than a year ago. -
Senator Overman said today that the
committee probably . would resume its
work as soon as its members could
find time to devote to. the work. It
would then consider the advisability
of extending its inquisition into the
activities of individuals and organiza
tions alleged to have been urgng river
and harbor appropriations and oppos
ing the Federal trade commission and
Clayton anti-trust bills. It also would
complete inquiries begun several
months ago into influences alleged to
have operated here against repeal of
the Panama tolls exemption for Ameri
can ships.
"As soon as possible," said Senator
Overman, "the committee will complete
its investigation and make a report on
all phases of the inquiry, including the
exhaustive investigation of the tariff
lobby. When that is done I propose to
press my bill for the prohibition of in
sidious lobbying and regulation of
legitimate lobbying before Congress."
Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is a
member of the special committee, de
clared today that he would insist upon
inquiry into the operations of certain
individuals' in connection with the
anti-trust legislation.
CANADA LACKS GENERAL
KlTCHKMSR TO NO M I X ATE, DOMIN
ION ASKED TO RATIFY.
Artillery May Be Sent to Front Almost
at Once. Because of Allies
Need of Guns.
- -
OTTAWA, Sept. 25. The commander
of the Canadian expeditionary force
will be designated by. Lord Kitchener
after the troops reach England, the
War Office"- will disclose . the name of
the General who has been selected to
lead in battle and the Canadian gov
ernment will be asked to ratify the
uominatlon. This method of choosing
a commander has been adopted because
of a feeling that there is no man in
Canada to whom the leadership of an
army of 30,000 men could fairly be in
trusted.
The Canadian artillery, it is thought,
may be sent to the fVont almost imme
diately, as the allies need guns. The
medical corps also' may have an early
call for active service. It had been
expected that all branches of the Cana
dian forces would receive considerable
further training in England, but the
artillery is said already to be well up
to tne standard of the regular army.
Some of the infantry regiments which
show exceptional proficiency also may
be sent to the front in advance of the
division as a whole. .
If it is decided to give the entire
force final training, the infantry prob
ably will go to Aldershot and the ar
tillery to Salisbury Plain.
INDIAN WITNESSES IN JAIL

Jury in connection with an alleged at

Chlloquin, another Klamath Indian,
are in jail as a result of being drunk
when they were brought into the grand
jury room to testify Thursday.
Finding that both Indians were un

discovered that George Brown and Cain
Conchin had purchased two quarts of
"boose," probably at the Manhattan
Cafe on First street. When Brown and
Conchin identified John Erlckson as
the bartender who sold them the liquor,
Erlckson was arrested, yesterday, for
violating the law in selling liquor to
Indians. The entire matter Is now be

(Continued From First Page.)
their consort and remained with
engines stopped, endeavoring to save
life, thus presenting an easy and cer
tain target to further submarine at
tacks. Rescue Work Forbidden.
"The natural promptings of humanity
have in this case led to heavy losses
which would have been avoided by
strict adherence to military consider
ations. Modern naval war is presenting
us with so many new and strange situ
ations that an error of Judgment of this
character is pardonable.- But it has
been necessary to point out for the
further guidance of His Majesty"s ships
that conditions which prevail when a
vessel of a squadron is Injured in a
mine field' or is exposed to submarine
attack are analogous to those which
occur in action and that the rule ot
leaving disabled ships to their own re
sources Is applicable so far. at any rate,
aa large vessels are concerned.
."No act of humanity, whether to
friend or foe, should lead to neglect of
the proper precautions and dispositions
of war and no measures can bo taken
to save life which prejudice the mili
tary situation. Small crafts of all
kinds should, however, be directed by
war to close on the damaged ship at all
speed.
Character of Attack Deplored.
"The loss of nearly 60 officers and
1400 men would have not been grudged
If it had been brought about by gun
fire in an open action. But it Is pecu
liarly distressing under the conditions
which prevailed. The absence of any
of the ardor and excitement of an en
gagement did not. however, prevent
the display of discipline, cheerful cour
age and ready self-sacrifice among all
ranks and ratings exposed to the
ordeal.
"The duty on which these vessels
were engaged was an essential part of
the arrangements by which the control
of the seas and the safety of the
country are maintained and the lives
lost are as usefully, aa necessarily and
as gloriously devoted to the require
ments of His Majesty's service as if
the loss bad been incurred in a gen
eral action.
Lout Shins Obsolete.
"In view or - the , certainty of a
proportion of misfortunes of this char
acter occurring from time to time, it
is important that this point of view
should be thoroughly appreciated. The
loss or these three cruisers, apart from
the loss of life. is of small naval
signiifcance. Although they were large
and powerful ships, they belonged to a
class of cruisers whose speed has been
surpassed by many of the enemy's
battleships. .-
"Before the war it had -been decided
that no more money should be spent
in repairing any of this class and
that they should make their way to
the sale list as soon as defects became
manifest."
"The report on the sinking of the
Cressy signed by 'Bertram W. L.
Nicholson, commander of the late H.
W. S. Cressy, follows:
"Sir: I have the honor to submit
the following report in connection with
the sinking o H. M. S, Cressy in com
pany with H. II. S. Aboukir and Hogue
on the morning of the 22d of Septem
ber while on patrol duty:
Boats Are Sent Oat.
"The Aboukir was struck at about
6:25 A. M. on the starboard beam. The
Hogue and Cressy closed and took up
a position, the Hogue ahead of the
Aboukir and the Cressy about 400 yards
on her port beam. As soon as it was
seen that the Abkouir was in danger
of soon sinking, all the boats were sent
away from the Cressy and a picket
boat was hoisted out without steam up.
When boats full of the Aboukir's men
were returning to the Cressy the Hogue
was struck, apparently under the aft
9.27 magazine, as a heavy explosion
took place immediately. Almost di
rectly after the Hogue was hit we ob
served a periscope on our port bow,
about 300 yards off.
" 'Fire was immediately opened and
the engines were put full speed ahead
with the Intention of running her down.
Our gunner, Mr. Doughert. positively
asserts that he hit the periscope and
that the submarine sank. An officer
who was standing alongside the gunner
thinks that the shell struck only float
ing timber, of which there was much
about, but it was evidently the im
pression of the men on deck, who
cheered and clapped heartily, that the
submarine had been hit. This sub
marine did . not tire a torpedo at the
Cressy.
Another Periscope Seen.
" 'Captain Johnson then maneuvered
the ship so as to render assistance to
the crews of the Hogue and Aboukir.
About live minutes later another peri
scope was seen on our starboard quar
ter, and fire was opened. The track of
the torpedo she tired at a range of
500 to 600 yards was plainly visible,
and it struck us on the starboard side
just before the aft bridge.
'The ship listed about 10 degrees
to the starboard and remained steady.
The time was 7:15 A. M. All the water
tight doors, deadlights and scuttles had
been securely closed before the torpedo
struck the ship. All the mess stools
and all available timber below and on
deck had been previously got up and
thrown over side for the saving of life.
" 'A second torpedo fired by the same
sub marine missed and passed about
10 feet astern. About a quarter of
an hour after the first torpedo had hit,
a third torpedo, fired from a subma
rine Just before the starboard beam, bit
us under the No. 5 boiler-room. The
time was 7:30 A. M. The ship then
began to heel rapidly and finally turned
keel-up, remaining so for about 20
minutes before she finally sank at 7:55
A. M.' "
Sinking; Hull Narrowly Aliased. :
" 'A large number of men were saved
by casting- adrift on pattern three tar-,
get. The steam pinnacle floated out of
her crutches, but filled and sank.
" 'The second torpedo which struck
the Cressy passed over the sinking hull
of the Aboukir, narrowly missing it. It
is possible that the same submarine
fired all the three torpedoes at the
Cressy.
" 'The conduct of the crew was ex
cellent throughout. I have already re
marked on the bravery displayed by
Captain Phillips, master of the trawler
L. T. Coriander", and his . crew, who
picked up 156 officers and men.' "
The report of Commander Reginald
A. Norton, late of H. M. S.- Hogue. fol
lows: "I have the honor to report as follows
concerning the sinking of the Hog-ue,
Aboukir and Cressy: Between 6:15 and
6:30 A. M. II. M. S. Aboukir was struck
by a torpedo. The Hogue closed -on
the Aboukir and I received orders to
hoist out the launch, turn out and
prepare all timber. Two lifeboats were
sent to the Aboukir, but before the
launch could get away the Hogue was
struck on the starboard side amidships
by two torpedoes at intervals of 10 to
20 seconds.
" Water Bursts Open Doors.
"The ship at once began to heel to
starboard. After ordering the men to
get into the boats on the booms and
take off their clothes, I went, by Cap
tain Nicholson's directions, to ascertain
the damage in the engine-room. The
artificer engineer informed me that the
water was over the engine-room grat
ings. "While I was endeavoring to return
to the bridge the water burst open
the starboard entry port doors and the
ship heeled rapidly. I told the men in
the port battery to Jump overboard, as
the launch was close alongside, and
soon afterward the ship lurched heavily
to starboard.
"I clung to a ring bolt for some time,
but finally dropped on to the deck and
a huge wave washed me away. I
climbed up the ship's side and was
again washed off. Eventually, after
swimming about from various over
laden pieces of wreckage, I was picked
up by a cutter from the Hogue,
Coxswain L. S. Marks, which pulled
about for some hours picking up men
and discharging them to our picket
boats and steam pinnace, and to the
Dutch steamers Flora and Titan, and
rescued in this way Commander Sells
(of the Aboukir), Engineer Commander
Stokes, with legs broken; Fleet Pay
master Eldred, and about 120 others.
Twenty Too III to Be Moved.
"Finally, about 11 A. M-, when we
could find no more men in the water,
we were picked up by the Lucifer,
which proceeded to the Titan and took
off from her all our men except about
20, who were too ill to be moved.
"A Lowestoft trawler and the two
Dutch ships Flora and Titan were ex
traordinarily kind; clothing and feeding
our men. My boat's crew, consisting
mainly of royal navy reserve men,
pulled and behaved remarkably well.
I particularly wish to mention Petty
Officer Halton. who, by encouraging
the men In the water near me, undoubt
edly saved many lives.
"Lieutenant - Commander Phlllips
Wooley, after hoisting out the launch,
asked me if we should try to hoist
out another boat, and endeavored to do
so. The last I saw of him was on- the
aft-brldge, doing well.
"Lieutenant-Commander Tlllard was
plcKed up by a launch. He got up a
cutter's crew and saved many lives,
as did Midshipman Cazalet in the Cres
sy's gig. Lieutenant Chichester turned
out the whaler very quickly."
Dutch Trawler Sails Away.
"A Dutch mailing trawler sailed close
by but went off without rendering any
assistance, although we signalled to her
from the Hogue to come close after we
were struck.
"The Aboukir appeared to me to take
about 35 minutes to sink, floating bottom-up
for about five minutes. The
Hogue turned turtle quickly, in about
five minutes, and floated bottom-up for
several minutes. A dense black smoke
was seen in the starboard battery,
whether from coal or torpedo cordite,
I could not say. The upper deck was
not blown up, and only one other small
explosion when we heeled over.
"The Cressy I watched heel over from
the cutter. She heeled over to star
board slowly, dense black smoke Is
suing from her when she attained an
angle of about 90 degrees, and she took
a long time from this angle till she
floated bottom-up with the starboard
screw slightly out of the water, which
I consider. it was 30 to 35 minutes from
the time she was struck until she was
bottom-up.
Men In Water Obey Orders.
"All the men on the Hogue behaved
extraordinarily well, obeying orders
even when in the water swimming for
their lives, and I witnessed many cases
of great self-sacrifice and gallantry.
Farmstone. able seaman of the Hogue.
jumped overboard from the launch to
make room for others, and would not
avail himself of the assistance until
all the men nearby were picked up.
He was in the water about half an
hour.
"There was no panic of any sort, the
men taking oft their clothes, as
ordered, and falling- in with hammock
or wood. Captain Nicholson, in our
other cutter, as usual, was perfectly
cool, and rescued large numbers of
men. I last saw him alongside the
Flora. Engineer Commander Stokes, I
believe, was in the engine-room to the
last, and Engineer Lieutenant-Commander
Fendrlck srot steam an the hnal
hoist and worked It in five minutes.
"I have the honor to submit that I
may be appointed to another ship as
soon as I can get a kit"
EXPORT LOSS IS HEAVY
EUROPEAN WAR IS COSTLY TO
AMERICAN TRADE.
August, 1914, Figures 977,000,000 Leas
Than Same Month In I913
Manufactures Hardest Hit.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. Tremen
dous decreases in American export
trade during August, resulting from
war in Europe, were shown in detail
today by comparisons of the depart
ment of commerce with the business
of one year ago. Export trade to Ger
many practically came to a standstill
while that to France and England,
whose shipping has not been so
seriously interrupted, showed only a
comparatively small decrease. Trade
to Belgium and that to Argentina,
which depends largely on foreign ship
ping, suffered heavily.
The decrease in August's export
trade to Europe as a whole amounted
to 58.32),619. That represented in a
large measure the decrease in credit
abroad as employed to offset American
obligations. The falling oft reached
more than $77,000,000. One year ago
the total was $187,909,020, compared
with $110,369,240 last month.
The effect of the war upon Ameri
can import trade last month amounted
to i23,-( tx.sau, compared with $137
651.553 in August 1913.
Manufactures showed the largest de
crease in exports among the various
groups. Food stuffs almost maintained
their level of one year ago.

HEALTH I5IPAIKED BY FALL
North Idaho Man Expected to Get
Judge Stewart's Place.
BOISK. Idaho. Sept. 25 (Special)
The death of Justice Stewart, of the
Supreme Court of this state, at Dr.
Williamson's sanitarium in Portland at
an early hour this morning, creates an
other vacancy on the Supreme bench of
Idaho which Governor Haines will be
required to fill by appointment until
a successor can be elected at the next
general election. Death was due to a
general breakdown in health following
a stroke of paralysis during the Coeur
d'Alene term of court last Spring. He
had been in the Portland sanitarium
for four months.
Justice Stewart's death Is the first
vacancy on the Supreme bench so cre
ated since territorial days. He was
born at Connersvllle, Ind., February 26,
1858. and was graduated from the law
department of the North Indiana Nor
mal School in 1886. Until 1890 he prac
ticed law In Nebraska and In that year
moved to Idaho, forming a partnership
here with William E. Borah. In 1893
he was elected to the State Legislature
as Senator and In 1896 was appointed
judge of the District Court for Ada
County. In 1906 be was elected justice
of the Supreme Court and re-elected
two years ago to succeed himself, hold
ing his seat on the bench until his
death. Last "Winter he suffered a se
vere fall which weakened him. Two
years ago he was operated on twice for
muscular trouble of the neck.
The death o Justice Stewart calls
upon Governor Haines to appoint a
majority of the members of the Su
preme Court. The Governor recently
appointed Judge Warren Truitt to suc
ceed James F. Atlshie. resigned, to hold
office until his successor is elected in
November. It is probable a Northern
man will succeed Justice Stewart.
