VOL. LXXXVI1- TRUST COMPANIES ARE CONSIDERED Important Section of Amer can Bankers' Association at Los Angelis. MORE RIGID EXAMINATION i Such Was Gist of President's Recom mendations Their Soundness V During Stringency Theme ' of Committee's Report. - .. Los Angeles, Call., October 5. The selection of Charles H. Hutting, presi dent of th -had National Bank, of St. Louis, as the next chairman! of the executive council of.thew American Bankers' Association was made al most a certainty, today by the " with drawal of William George, of Aurora, 111. The formal election does not take place until Friday. ' ; , ; ' i ' F. 0. Watts, president of the First National Bank, of Nashville, and vice president of the aossociation, is sched uled to succeed 10 the, pi'es.o.ency; ac cording to the custom oft the associa tion. -v ' . 'j San Antonio, NewJDrleansAtlantic City and Richmond, Va.',.want the con venuon next year and a hard fight is on between these cities. Interest in the work of the bankers centered today in the business session of the trust company section, and in the annual meeting of the secretaries of the State bankers' associations. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. . 5. The Trust Company jsection of the Ameri can Bankers' Association met in busi ness session today.'. In the absence' of President H. "P. Mcintosh, Vice, r resi dent Oliver C. Fuller called the meet ing to order and read the address of the president. '. , " The address urges a more frequent and rigid bank examination of -the State. The report says: .-..,, f "The question of bank examinations is one of which a great; deal has been said and written In recent years, r4 puling in the enactment - of laws 1$ some of .the State; proxMinr forhs ex aminations' Mid regulation otlhese institutions,-which has already had . a beneficent effect on the general situa tion, as well as beneficial to both the bni's and the public. .' . "If may be (pertinent to inquire to what extent, the examination of banks should go? ' It would' seem in this matter that the 'more frequent and tho rough such examinations are malie the better. . '. ' . "If it were possible; for a banking department to make at least three ex aminations a year at irregular times, of every bank within Its jurisdiction, the examiners spending sufficient time to make a thorough audit and to be come familiar with the affairs of such banks, checking over every item of their assets, investigating the paper and ravesttnentscarrled, and fee. able' to intelligently advise-where mistakes had been made, and firmly Insist up on the' laws under-which such banks are acting to be observed, that would be a coT'Jitloh to be desired. - "No bank operating under State or United States laws, if it is conducting1: its business as required by the laws of such State or the United States, need fear examinations, however frequent or thorough, but, on the contrary, will welcome such examinations and lend its aid to the agents , appointed to mav-p the same. I believe that all leg islation providing for the general bet tering of the banking" situation and tendine to give more frequent and rig-, id bnnk examination , should receive the hearty support of every bank offi- fial. so that the day may come when oh a thing as a ;bank failure shall b n mpmnrv nf thA nasi artd all banks shall be safe and sound. "It v'll add to the credit of trust companies to seek-i such legislation rather than to bve It forced 'upon them. Let us continue to harn on this Rubiect until every State has State ex- aminatinn of trust companies. "Another law that should vbe enact ed in many States is one providing that an insolvent trust company be Hr,H0fod hv th State Superintendent of Banks instead of the usual way of bv a receiver appointed by , a court, v'hirh in too many .cases results in the appointment, of a party moredis tinguished in politics than in finances, resulting usually in a very expensive lioiiidation. while the expenses of liqul cittiops by state Bankinsr Departments have demonstrated that tfiAPe are very nwh less than the former." The report of the executive commit itep wa rpa(1 by Lawrence L. Gilles pie, chairman.

Russia is far f behind other civilized countries of the official world in the matter of decreas ing me numner ox aeatn; sentences ac cording to statistics given to the In ternational Prison Congress at its ses sion today, by Dr. Frederic H. Wines of Philadelphia. -. "In no country does the frequency and enormous number ! of executions excite such horror as in Russia,", said Pr. Wines. "Nowhere else is there waged so determined and unceasing war against ' the employment of capi tal punishment ior-the suppression of prime, This is the more worthy of re mark in view of the fact that the penal .code, limit Us application to political offenders. . And yet,' in virtue, of the system by which offenses not poetical caBijepUnlBhed by "maraai.law, even in time of peace, the. number of execu tions is truly extraordinary. . i ' "The official statistics show' that in 1906-1908, 2,108 persons were legally executed.

Dr. Wines gave an interesting reDort on other countries but explained that Statistics of homicide for the United States were unavailable at present. He declared. however, that inspite of 'statements to" the contrary.' there wa strong7 evidence that cringes in jlthf country was on the decrease. : Accepting the principle of condition al release on parole as indispensable, t.h Congress approved of these resolu tions:,- .;, ' . - -K- .

Mr. Yoakum those "Farmet's Day" to deliver his speech. I That "New Nationalism" is not needed to deal wth the "New' Indus trialism," was , his (iecJaration He said that the founders of this govern ment n aturally" could lhave " no concep tion of the vast! intel-state com mefee which would move 6yer 235,000 miles of railroad, instead of .the little which then dragged ever a . f Jew miles of bad wagon roads,- bof he Insisted' that this was no reason why. this new develop ment should be treated invany; sense lawless, nor is" there. any. reason for attempting to arrest It because it: re quires a readjustment of 'Federal and State jurifcdictkra. As the commerce between States expanded : and ' as transportation was extended, a far reaching, connected nd interdep nd ent industrial system, was created, and this must be subjected to. some sys tem of law. 8 i- "But after all," said. Mr. Yoakum, "this thing called - in terestate ' com merce and; these j Instrumentalities called railroads represent theveryivi tals of our national progress, and the very health and wealth oi our whole people; and the people of the coun try, instead of being, aroused by In flammatory appeals to; adopt measures to destroy them, should be taught by enlightened discussidn to find .some way to promote them rand at the same time fairly regulate them. - -. "Te states and the people, under the resistless force of this development, uniting the states and the; people of the states in one bond of f mutual in terest, have been .welded into-an in dustrial wholes and a crusade against one class is a crusade against all classes.

If, In order to properly regulate the growth of New Industrialism, It ii necessary for the Federal Government to have more power than was originally granted,' let that proposal of ncwpower be drawn Up and submitted and let the power of government, . in keeping pace with the commerce of the soil, the, mer chant and the factory, increase in as orderly a manner as the agricultural and .industrial development This new Industrialism must, and will, conform itself to the new laws of the country, but it protests . that these new laws should not "proceed 'from the hot zeal of the over-wrought political econo mists. If in the course of time this New Industrialism, on account of its wide-spread and far-reaching growth, should find itself under Federal con trol let it be so; but let that Federal control be extended in suck an order ly way and by ' spch constitutional methods as will, -onf the one hand, in sure the stability of our government, as well as, on the other hand, pro mote the progress of o-r country." Mr. Yoakum told the farmers that while in the past they had been dis posed to bitterly antagonize the trade organizations, waich control, or nearly control, many of the branches of com merce, they were beginning. to adopt trust methods to work out the-economies of their business. He said: ' "Now the i farmers themselves are properly buildrng. up large trade or ganizations which, they mal call co operative associations, pools Or selling agencies, but under whatever name they are operated, the"? have the same object in view as other commercial al liances.

In directing a new trial In thfe case of Joseph Ste? vens, under sentence in New Hanover for killing a man named Shields, the Supreme Court today declares that of 78 exceptions on which the appeal came up, many were well taken, but that' the principal errpi1 of - the trial judge was . ;In. holding that in no view of the eyidence, could the"! prisoner be acquitted ' upon the grounds, of self defense and in excluding, pertinent evi dence competent to support that plea.' . Evidence of the prisoner himself was sufficient to support that plea in having it submitted to the jury with proper instructions, the urt says, Justice Brown writing thcT'opinion. Af ter reciting the testimony of the pris oner as to the attack made on nim by Shields after they had had a difficulty earlier in the day the court says that under such circumstances, Whether the prisoner used excessive, force In repelling the assault with his pistol was one peculiarly for the jury.. The innocence of the prisoner, . the . 5Qurt ;says, depends upon whether. ffomj(ll4 whole testimony, or from that l)!
