Cambridge, Mass. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge died at the Charles Gats
hospital Sunday night. He suffered
a stroke on Wednesday, November 5
Mr. Lodge was born at Boston, May
12, 1850
The illness that led to death was
similar to that of President Wilson,
the original complaint being similar,
and the stroke that brought on the
ond much the same.
Senator Lodge had four years atil
to serve in the United States senate
where he had represented his state
continuously for 31 years. His plac
will be filled by appointment, Gov

legislative act passed two years age

Washington, U. C. With total re
sources On October 10 of ?23,323,061,
000, the national banks of the country '
on that date reached the highest point
in resources since November 15, 1920,1
it was announced by Controller oi ,
Currency Dawes. The banks includ
ed in the total numbered 8074.
The results of the bank call of
October 10 showed an increase of
three-quarters of a billion dollars in
the banks' total resources since the
call of June 30, and an increase of
$1,610,185,000 since the call of Sep
tember 15, 1923. The figures, in the
opinion of the controller, reflect in '
a measure the prosperity of the coun
try as well as the natural growth of
its wealth, since there has been no
slackening of the increase in resources!
at any time in the last year.
Between the dates of the last two
calls, loans and discounts by the na
tional banks were increased by J231,
420,000 and the amount October 10, j
$12,210,148,000, was greater by 17t,-
092,000.

were reported October 10 at $19,108,
