IT WINS n Game After All.

Yesterday afternoon some 5000 people. the
great majority Of them wearing the red fez
of the order of the Mystic Shrine. gathered
at the grounds of the Washington Base
Ball Club to witness a game Of ball be-
tween the team of the Boumi Temple OF
Baltimore and the nine of the Lu Ilu
Temple Of Philadelphia. Each team had
when they met yesterday. one game to its
credit, and at the invitation of Almas
Temple Of this city, the third and deciding
contest was played here on neutral ground.
About 800 Shriners and ladies accompanied
the Philadelphia team and brought over
their band of twenty-five pieces. while less
Monumental city. The visitors reached here
about II 80 yesterday morning and were
escorted up the avenue to the Ebbitt House.
where dinner was served them After a
short time spent in sightseeing, the whole
party made their way to the ball grounds.
The two teams were escorted upon the
grounds by the band. and after perform
ing several marching evolutions took the
dent Nick Young Of the National Base Ball
League officiated as umpire. and II Is pre-
sumed that only the presence of a large
force of policemen. which had been thought
fully provided. saved him from violence.
But six innings were played, yet they were
quite enough to make the crowd feel per-
fectly at home. for 1t was throughout the
entire game more like witnessing contest
between local leaguers and some slightly
better club than anything that could well
have been imagined. The bleachers, how
ever. kindly refrained from yelling every
now and then: Play ball! Play BALI" for
they realized that neither team was there
FOR that purpose They were there simply
for the amusement Of the throng, and 10
their credit 1t can be said that they fully
succeeded in their efforts. OF course, once
IN a while one Of the alleged players did
manage to come in contact with the ball
either through the medi,on Of their bat or
person. and in that way reached the initial
bag. and then through misplays which
tailenders in the league race sometimes sue
ceeded IN reaching home Thus the contest
ran until darkness and the umpire's tired

NATIONAL hank DEPOsIrORs.
Bill Framed to Prevent Bank Of

n Bill Framed to Prevent Bank Of
hcers From borrowing Too Freely.
The House committee on banking and
currency today authorized Mr.. Cox Of Ten
nessee to report favorably to the House the
bill introduced by him to promote the safety
OF funds and deposits of national banks.
The bill prohibits the officers and other
employees Of banks, except directors who
are not otherwise officers or employees to
become borrowers or to become liable to
the bank by reason of overdrawn account.
otns as nao ssn, gusr s security or
approved by q majority Of the directors or
executive committee.
In the opinion Of the majority Of the COM
mtttee the result sought to be reached-the
preventing Of the Misrepresentation of the
| funds Of the bank by the officers actually
engaged in handling them-can be secured
through this bill.
1t Is believed that the mischiefs to be pre-
vented have arisen mainly, II not entirely.
in cases where the loans made to the d.
rectors, officers and employees Of the bank
have been systematically concealed from
the board of directors, and that there ex-
| lists no case in which the majority of the
board Of directors have Intentionally per
mitted any loans to or use OF the moneys
of the bank by its directors or officers In
amounts sufficient to render the bank in
solvent.
The committee believe that the act goes
as far as ii Is prudent In restricting the
directors III dValuuS tueAiscisSo Va oN>oAAA
moda alton from the banks. and that IT par
ticularly affords to the depositors ana
stockholders all the protection necessary
for their interests without deprfving them
of the services of the men In each COM
| munity best qualified and most useful as
directors of the bank.
Violation of the act is made punishable
by a fine Of not more than 5000. or I'M
prisonment for not more than nVe years
or both.
Views Of the Majority.
Mr.. Warner OF New York sympathizes
with the object Of the bill. but holds that 1t
attempts to perform duties Of a most
minute character in matters Of detail and
formally as well as in substance, and he
questions whether an attempt to regulate 1t
by law to the extent contemplated will not
result In serious embarrassment as unfore-
seen con tingencies arise.
Moreover he holds, when II is recalled that
the essential Office Of federal law In refer
ence to national banks Is in connection
with their circulating notes and that this
act Is so exclusively for the protection OF
stockholders and depositors as to be based
only upon incidental purpose and powers.
1t seems clear that the proposed extension
of federal interference with the banking
business should not be enacted into law.
Mr.. Warner will take this ground In a
minority report he will make.
Chairman Springer was authorized to
| appoint a subcommittee Of three to consider
measures increasing the circulation Of
national banks and a subcommittee Of 1--WE
| to consider the proposition to repeal the tax
on state banks circulation.
