INCREASES REPORTED.
Conditions in the New York Associated Banks Indicate Early Relief-Enor-
 nous Loans Contracted.

New York, June 2e.-The New York Fi- naneier says this week The statement of the associated banks of New York cityfor the week ending June 26 is favor able in a s far as the expansion in loaEs is concerned, but with the drain Of cash to Europe and the employment of funds in other directions idle money is still ac- eumulating in New York The total sur plus cash is now close to s5OOOOOO0. an increase of about S4,Oo0, coo in the last month. With the same time loans have expanded no less than $12.000. coo, while deposits have inereased nearly $25, GOO, 900. This Is an extraordinary movement. That there is some relief in store for this eengested condition the statement clearly indicates that the increase in loans re- ported. The gain was made by no less than 42 of the 66 banks and deposit in efeases were evenly distributed Two of the banks the Western National and the tourth National, appear to have bsen re- sponsible for one-half of the increase in loans, but the remainder has gone uni formly to swell the totals of other banks.
 An encouraging feature of the situa- tion not shown in this statement is the faet that the banks are doing a lategly increased business in commercial paper, a canvass of some of the institutions showing that the greater part of their new loans were of this character Re discounts are also reported by many of the banks in larger volume and prepara- tions are being made for heavy de- mand in anticipation of the excellent crops. As was pointed out in this analy- sis last week, loans are ~Sroaching a record breaking feature anu bid fair to exceed anything ever known in the his tory of the clearing house. The money now floating to New York is said to be from the larger banking centers rather than from small places.
 The other items of the statement are in keeping with the increases reported although the deposits does seem smaller than other changes call for. The with drawal of legal tenders for gold export purposes the latter part of the week is not shown in the statement.

OFFICERS IMPOSED UPON.
Young White Boys Use Deception to Call Them to the Woods and to Arouse
 Peaceable Citizens.

What proved to be one of the meanest pieces of deception ever chronicled in this city was perpetrated by six young white boys of this city last night. They not only called officers on duty in the city away from their dstai's but caused sher- fir o'Brien and his trusted deputies a long and hard ride in search of phan- tom.
 A son of Pr. Eugene Enslen ran to the home of s.r. 4argstpr, a well known con- duetof of the Central of Geors a, on fwenty-fourth street near the end of the electric car line, about 9 o'clock last night, and il gaspirg breaths informed him that while he eEnslen) and com paElon, Jack Cooper, were hunting in the woods near the North Birmingham dummy line, four men came up on them and without cause opened on them with shot guns. EnslSn ran, but Cooper fell, exclaIming that he was fatally wounded
 MT. Langston aroused the neighbors and lsphoned to polio headcuarters f6r the mounted men and asked fo.- Sheriff O'Brien to come and bring his dogs. The mounted men repaired ct once to the scene and Sheriff O'Rrien summoned Chief Deputy Warnocl5 and Deputies Waldrop, Jones and Hillhouse, and they mounted swift horses and with the dogs hastened to the reputed scene of the out rages. Arriving there they found the mounted men and many angry citizens who informed the alert sheriff that the whole thing was hoax perpetrated by the boys.
 The sheriff, mounted officers and citi- zens condemned the action of the boys in no uncertain terms and justly So, as such things should not be allowed to go un- investigated.

The style of the new temple will be

Above the facade will be three pictur-

to the building without interfering
with the general artistic effect. The
interior will be finished in oak. At

Some Of Their Peculiar Rixhts Are
stil Being Exercised.
Among the powers still exercised
Is the right Of members OF the Winters
company to sell foreign wine and spir-
Its without a license. says the St.
James Gazette. There are still many
free winters" throughout the country
who do not come under the jurisdic-
ton Of the licensing authorities. From
time immemorial this company also
enjoyed the exclusive right Of loading
and landing, pitching and turning"
wines and spirits imported to and ex-
ported from the city of London. Its
franchise 10 still exercised by its tackle
porters. The gunmakers, too, have
kept their right to test and approve
guns at their proof house. They for
merly had the right to punish any man
who made gun without having been
apprenticed to the trade and to prevent
persons hawking guns for sale. An.
other company exercising important
powers Is the Scriveners', which pre-
vents any man practicing as notary
In the city unless he is a member Of
the company and duly qualified. The
Fishmongers' company has always had
the control Of the fish trade, and q
reminder to this effect came in the
form Of a notice recently issued. adj
dressed to fishermen, fshmongers,
dealers in fish and Others warning
them against the capture of unseason-
able and unclean salmon, and Of mi
gratory fish Of the genus salmon, and
its sale either in London or the prov
ipces. They do not, however, as N
olden times, impose fines "of their own
right" but initiate prosecutions before
the legal tribunals. Their functions in
the matter of the seizure Of unsound
fish are also largely undertaken now
by the inspectors and officers of local
authorities. One of the latest powers
exercised was by the Butchers COM
pany, which in the reign of George Ill.
got an act passed which was known as
the flying act" by which, in concert
with the cordwainers and curriers', they
had the power to levy fines on persons
"willfully, negligently or carelessly"
gashing the skins Of animals when
f1aying them. This act was repealed
in 1924. Before the commission of sew
ers took over the duty, this company
used to search for and seize bad meat
but they found little difficulty in re-
covering their costs. But still more
curious powers Of this company were
those for preventing "forestalling, dis
commencing other mems meat" and
"conspiring not to sell meat except at
a certain price," They had further
the power to tax butchers for the re-
moval Of the general offal. The cord
wainers regulated the sale of boots and
shoes up to the time of George w.,
when the power ceased to be exercised,
