'New York, Oct. . There Is still
hope thnX the list . of the probably
drowned, from the swamping or the
battleship New Hampshire's barge In
the Hudson Saturday night, may be
further reduced, by reports from men
set down as dead or missing who may
still be alive ' but unlocated. Mean
while the task of dragging the river
continues.' The list "as given out by
fleet officials' stands 'at 23 probably
dead and eight missing. -. t
The board of Inquiry today Is ex
pected to t take testimony. Godfrey
Chevailler; who was In charge of the
wrecked boat, has Just been released
from the care of surgeons, He nearly
perished from exhaustion after rescu
ing a doxen or more of the imperilled
sailors.
One striking feature -of the tragedy
Is the revelation of the fact that so
many sailors, men who live upon the
water, are unable to swim. A recent
census of the iluo showed that more
than J00 were unable to swim. - '
In the face of these cheerful de
velopments two " other drownings
among sailors of. the fleet occurred
yesterday. One of the crew of the
Kansas, believed to have been Re
gent Audit, gave his life In saving a
young woman visitor to the battle
ship.
Last night a sailor, cleaning the side
of the hospital ship Solace, lost his
balance and was swept under .the
essel' by the swift tide. A compan
ion dived to the rescue but without
avail. The name of the victim was
not learned. '
Grappling for the lost New Hamp
shire men-' brought no results. One
sailor's bod was found, but exami
nation showed It to be that of Joseph
Dudley, a coal passer from the re
pair ship Panther. He had been mis
sing since September 28. The police
theory is that many. If not all of the
bodies have been swept either into
the lower bay or else far op the river
by the swift current.
Memorial services for the dead
were held on the -New Hampshire

Investigating the disaster, has not
finished its work.
Midshipman Crevalier's heroic res
cue of men under him, after the ac
cident' occurred was heartily com
mended by navy officials. It Is pos
sible that some of the splendid hero-

Lewis E. Plerson of . New York,
president of ' the sasooiattori, delivered
his annual address, saying in part:
"Th past year ha been an active
one for our association. , Your postal

opposed the adoption of the law es
tablishing such institutions, f but In
spite of its efrortt and the active
work of Its Indefatigable chairman,
Mr.' Lucius Teter, president of the
Chicago Savings bank, congress enac
ted such a law June 25. 1910. through
the Insistence - of the Administration
that" the party's pledge in Its cam
paign platform should be carried out
"The opposition of ' our : association
was based upon the principle that It is
as improper for the government to ex
tend its paternalism and enter the
banking business as It would be to
enter the grocery or any other busi
ness;' that there would always be a
temptation on the part of succeeding
administrations to1 regard the deposit!
so received as revenue rather than ob
ligations; that such deposits. If ac
cumulated to a vast amount and pay-
able on demand, would in any future
war crisis, weaken the nations credit
when that credit should be strongest;
that, while adopted In other, coun
tries, It la rt" -us question whether

erated nnder State laws and supervls
Ion of unquestioned stability, and In
the West by savings departments in
National and State banks thus of
fering every facility and. protection,
such a departure ' by the , National
Government Is entirely unnecessary.
While the law,, as passed places
its operations In the hands of a com
mittee somewhat .as an experiment it
Is reported that there Is being exerted
the political pressure for individual
benefit predicted by our members 'and
so repugnant to all principles of good
government
"The attitude of our association nas
been Justified In Its opposition to the
bank guarantee heresy by the report
ed failure of that proposition In the
State of Oklahoma where It originat
ed, and it can only be hoped that
Congress will heed the unanimous
w-irnlngs of our members as to tne
ultimate consequences or a Postal
Savings Bank system and at an early
date reDeal th present law.
During th year the failure 01
two cotton house and on grain con
cern revealed Bill of Lading frauds
totalllna) nearly 110.000.000.
This condition, long predicted by
your Bill of Lading Committee, pre
cipitated a loss of confidence In this
document as an Instrument of value
to the extent of foreign bankers,
laraely affected through these frauds,
naaand resolutions announcing tnoir
determination to . withhold accept
ancs of drafts drawn against Cotton
ExDort Bills of Lading after October
II, 110, unless the American banks
through whose hands tney passea
would guarantee both the genuineness
of the signature of pe railroad agent
on the bill and th ruelpt of the cot
ton by the railroad. '
This stand no doubt was influenc
ed by th failure of our senate to en
act Into law the Stevens bill, drawn
to hold Issuing carriers liable tor dims
of lading signed by authorised agents
whether or not th goods naa Deen
received, which bill, by a vote sus
pending th rule of th Houe, was
