NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Comptroller Eckels Not Appre-
II hensive Over the Recent
Bank Failures.
Purely Local Conditions Re-
sponsible for the Differ
ent CoIlapses.
Van EortWick Bros. of Batavia
Ills, Assign Their Vast
Interests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Comptroller
Eckles said during the afternoon that
be feels no apprehension over the bank
failures which have occurred of late.
Mr.. Eckels, when asked as to to the
general situation, said
''Those failures which have occurred
lately have little or no significance at.
tached to them. They were due largely
to local causes, wholly unconnected
with the general condition of the banks
throughout the country at large. The
two failures Tuesday are of minor i'm.
portance, in each case the bank S CAPT
tai being only 100000. AS against
these few failures, based OH local
causes, the general condition of the
banks is excellent. On the whole it is
evident that the national banks today
are as stable as they ever were, and the
sparodic failure of bank here and
there through defects peculiar to the
failing bank is Of small importance,
wholly without significance am ad-
vised from Minneapolis that the failure
there has occasioned no disturbance
beyond the institution concerned

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 30.-The annual
meeting of the Minnesota Educational
association opened at Plymouth church
with large attendance. The county
superintendent section, having much
work before it, held a session previous
to the opening of the regular conven-
ton. The superlntendents dev oted
themselves to discussion Of the best
methods Of improving the schools.
President Olsen, in his address, said
the greatest question in this connee.
tion was how to interest the parents.
as well as the school officers, in COM
mon school education. The efforts OF
the superintendents, he said, were
largely lost, because the public did not
appreciate the necessity for efficient
teachers. Then again, in some of the
best country districts, the school houses
were allowed to remain small, lily ven.
tilated, viciously heated and badly
equipped, not at all in keeping with t,.c
progress of the state.

Useless Detail in AID justing Claims Abol-
jRhed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-TwO radical
changes in the procedure of the pension
office have been made. All claims for
increase, save in extraordinary cases,
hereafter will be. sent direct to the
medical division of the bureau without
having to be passed upon by the board
OF review as has been the custom for
years. This action is taken on the
ground that the bulk of increase cases
involve only the medical act and that
much routine detail in going through
other channels of review will be saved.
Another step in the simplifcation and
quicker adjudication of claims is that
hereafter there will be no necessity for
cases before the board of review being
passed upon by three or four examiners
This has been the practice, but Com
missioner Murphy has fixed the num-
Der of the examiners who must review
each claim at two.
