SECURITY COMPANY.
To be Organized by First National
Bank of New York.
NEW YORK, May 19-The plans
of the First National Bank for the
organization of a $10,000,000 security
company which will have power to
carry on banking operations other
than those specifically provided for in
national bank charters, will be put in
to practicaf effect following a meeting
to be held today at which it is expect
ed the directors of the new company
will be chosen. The first security
company which he names chosen for
the new corporation .yesterday filed
with the secretary of state of New
York, a certificate of increase in its
capital from $10,000 to $10,000,000 and
its charter provisions were also
changed to raise the number of direc
tors from 3 to 12.
The First National's plan is similar
in many respects to similar arrange
ments made by several other well
known national banks, among them
the First National Bank of Chicago,
The organization of this new $10,
000,000 corporation here is regarded
as the outcome of the very large in
crease in recent years in the security
holdings of the bank. Under the re
lation made to the controller of the
currency as of February 14, last, the
First National reported stocks and
lh"s? t0, t0t
$60,696,651. The great volume of the
bank's assets are paid under this head
has been one of the distinguishing
features of the First National's state
ment for a long time. The second
bank in this city to these holdings is
the National City bank, which at the
last call reported $33,741,000 of stocks,
bonds., and mortgages against the
First National's $60,000,000.

STATE SCHOOL BOOKS.
AUSTIN, Texas, May 19. At a
meeting of the State Text Book Com
mission yesterday resolutions were
adopted considering the work of the
commission in awarding considerable
contracts to the American Book Co,
for school books for the state's schools
and provides for advertising for new
books. This action follows an opinion
submitted by the attorney-generals in
the proclamation to Governor Camp

concern was a member of a trust. The
attention of the attorney-general to
other concerns is directed by the text
book commission.
FREIGHT RATES.
Commercial, Industrial and Railroad
Interests to Meet.
CHICAGO, May 19.-A joint con
ference between the Commercial and
industrial interests of the country and
the railroads of the east to consider
the whole question of advanced
freight rates from all points of view
is assured. That this conference pos
sibly will lead to submitting the is
sue cither to President Roosevelt, the
interstate commerce commission or
an impartial board of arbitration for
a final decision also is likely according
to the opinion of railroad men ex
pressed yesterday.
When it is probable the necessity
of the railroads
for more revenue
either through advanced' freight rates
or reduced employes wages, will be
my!
considered in a conference with all
phases of the problem, it i not pos
sible that a contingent reduction of
wages will be conisdered if the issue
is lelt for arbitration or a binding
decision with the interstate commerce
commission, The cotnnmsion has no
power to fix or determine any phase
of the wage qucstin, and therefore can
only consider whether an advance in
rates is just and reasonable, The
threat of reduced wages is regarded
by manufacturers and shippers as a
measure more easily threatened than
put into effect.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
SPOKANE, May 19.-The platform
adopted ny the democratic convention
of the State of Washington demoji
strates an immediate revision of the
tariff and pledges that if the demo
cratic party is restored to power it
will speedily enact such legislation "on
lines of justice to all and special fa
vors to none."
It demands a non partisan tariff re
vision. The platform also demands regula
tion of trusts engaged in interstate
business through the licensing plan
outlined in the democratic platform of
1900; that the interstate commerce
commission be given power to deter
mine and fix reasonable rates, and 'to
enforce the safety appliance law; the
guaranteeing of deposits in national
banks by the national government and
in state banks by the state govern
ments sufficient guarantee funds to
be provided by assessments on guar
anteed banks.
The platform contains the resolu
tion urging congress to enact an
amendment to the interstate com
merce act whereby the commission
may investigate advances in trade
rates as to their reasonableness be-
