OFFICE OF THE HERALD.


The rules and regulations lately adopted
by the Los Angeles clearing house IN requir-
ing Its members to charge for exchange. and
also to make a specific charge on country
checks, have stirred up good deal OF feel
ing among some OF the country bankers.
who feel that the movement may be
prejudicial to their business, for the reason
that country customers may feel disposed
to open accounts in Los Angeles banks, and
thus avoid paying the charges now made
for collection on country checks.
One or two meetings have been had and
correspondence has been invited with the
object of getting the rules adjusted SO as to
give satisfaction to the outside banks.
In the first place, 1t seems likely that an
exception may be made in favor of banks at
Pasadena and Alhambra, which are really
Los Angeles city suburbs, and the charges
In the case of those places might properly
be RENTED. Then 1t has been proposed
that country residents might mark their
checks drawn on their local banks "Pay-
able in Los Angeles Exchange" when they
are required to be used for that purpose, and
they could be charged accordingly.
But the amendment that would undoubt-
eddy give the most satisfaction and entirely
remove any opposition on the part Of the
country banks would be for the Los Angeles
city banks to give their country bank GUS
toners credit for the amount now charged
for exchange on outside checks. 1t is
understood that this was once proposed, but
failed to carry
The object Of making a charge on tie
collection Of country checks Is to prevent
merchants and others from using them In
lieu of bank exchange. which is also
charged for. As the city banks are thus
protected In the selling Of exchange 1t does
seem as II they could afford to let their
country brethren have credit for the col
lection charges on their own checks.

Taxation Of Banks

1t Is said that the laws OF Kentucky re-
lating to the increased taxation Of banks
have failed Of their purpose. The auditor
Of banking, In speaking Of the matter a
short time ago, said Qhat, whereas the
banks paid to the state bast year over $780,

SECOND GEORGIA OFF FOR CHICK

Light Battery A and One Battalion

Two other BattaIiOns Over the

Not to Leave Until TO-mOrrOw
The Regiment to Go to Porto Rico.
Griffin, Ca. June Interpretations for
the moving of the troops from Camp
Northen t. Chlckamauga Park have been
completed, and at an early hour tomorrow
morning tents will be struck, everything
packed ready for shipping and cars loaded.
Col. La%ton has been worried no little
to-day with the railroads, as he could hear
nothing in regard to the transportation
until after o'clock. Since that hour he
has received notice that the necessary
trains viii be on hand ready to move the
troops by noon tomorrow.
Light Battery A and one battalion will
go over the Southern, while the remaining
two battalions will be carried to their new
camping grounds over the Central.
The soldiers will travel in heavy march
ing order. as a sufficient number of cars
have been secured to make each one COM
Portable after removing his luggage.
Capt. Walker of Battery B will probably
remain here until Saturday. This was the
request of Capt. Walker as his company
is receiving every day equipments which
viii not all arrive until Saturday.
At 4:30 o'clock this Afternoon there was
an inspection of the troops in heavy
marching order Each battalion was in
spected by its respective major and a gen
eral inspection by Col Lawton. commander
of the camp followed. 1t was a grand
sight to see the long lines of men formed
with their blankets and articles of cloth
+ ing rolled up in half shelter tent tied at
each end and thrown across their left
shoulder, their guns and knapsacks and
cups.
The first dress parade of the encampment
was had at $50, and the men never showed
off to better advantage. Each company
seemed to try its best, which resulted In
the success Of all
A private letter, received In camp to-day
from the war department. stated it was
the intention of the department at first to
let this regiment do coast duty, but as this
was recognized as the best volunteer reg
iment in the army, they would be sent TO
Chickamauga to join the brigade, and
thence to Porto Rico. This is a deserved
compliment to Col. Lawton, who has Nlin-
ed the love and confidence of every
man in camp. 1t also proves to the war
department that a green regiment, prop
erly trained, may soon be classed among
the regulars when II comes to knowledge
of duty. The regiment will gain the ad-
miration of the entire volunteer army
when brought before it.
Their departure tomorrow will be a
source of much regret to Griffin, for they
are the most orderly set of men ever
camped at Camp Northen.

FERNANDINA IN A FERMENT
CITY PREPARING ron A CAMP OF
10000 TROOPS.

Municipality Agrees to Lay six and
Eight-Inch Water Pipes Through
Encampme Central and
PeninsuIar TO Double Its Tracks
Through the GrOunds-GOvern-
ment Obtains an Option on Ware
houses and Calls for Bids for
Erecting Additional Ones.
Fernandina. Fla, June 16.-Aithough this
IS only the first day after the decision
of the war department to make Fernan-
dina the point Of concentration for large
bodies of troops, the work Of preparation
has already commenced.
The city has agreed 10 lay eight and six
inch water pipes out and through the en-
campnlent grounds, which have been Sc
lected only half mile from the city, and
only mile from the beach.
These grounds are connected with the
city and beach by shell roads.
The Florida Central and Peninsular Rail
road tracks run right through the camp
10 the beach, and another track is being
laid 10 make it double. Long switch
tracks are also to be laid TO afford ample
for the governments use.
1t has been decided in case additional
water is needed beyond what the city can
supply that additional wells viii be bored
but this is only in case the city supply
runs short, which is hardly possible. How
ever. the government has asked for bids
for the digging of these wells as other
bids have been made guaranteeing a good
flow in ten days.
Bids have also been asked for the build
ing Of large storehouses for the storing of
supplies, as well as other buildings prob
ably to be used as hospitals and head
quarters.
The government has also obtained an OPP
ton on a number of warehouses and paint
stores which will be used in one way or an
other.
One building has been engaged for tele-
graph offices, and lines Will be put In at
once.
The Edgemont Hotel, which has been
closed during the last two years, is to be
refitted and repaired. and put in shape to
be re-opened as soon as possible.
The city has had a large force Of labor
ers clearing up the encampment grounds
and every precauton has been taken to
have all work pushed forward as rapidly
as possible.
kilograms have been flying thick and
fast between Washington and Fernandina
all day and the city officials viii not leave
a stone unturned in order that they may
nave everything in readiness for the re-
ception of the first government officials
and soldiers that arrive.
The encampment grounds are as fine as
any that could have been selected in the
South. They lay between Fernandina and
the Atlantic ocean and with a continuous
row of the small grassy hills and pretty
trees and there is ample room for camping
20000 or more troops, with shell roads and
railroad tracks running through the
grounds.

ATLANTA's POLICE MATRoN.
Women of the City Demand That PO-
sitiOn BE Recreated.

Atlanta. Ga, June 1s.-The good women
of this city are indignant at the action
of the Board of Police Commissioners at
their last weekly meeting in abolishing
the position of police matron.
The position has been filled for some
months past by Miss Sue Holloway, who
has for years been prominent in philan-
thropio work, the police board paying her
SIS per month.
Prior to the creation of the position Miss
Holloway's expenses were paid by organ
lied charities of the city.
The chief of police stated to the board
that there was no need for matron in
the department, and upon this Miss Hollo-
ways official head was chopped off.
To-day mass meeting of prominent
ladies' was held and the action of the
board denounced. Resolutions were pass
ed requesting that the position be re-es-
tablished, and committee was appoint
ed to urge the matter
If the board does not accede TO the
requests of the women a committee will
go before the City Council and ask that

DEFEAT FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Convention of the w. c. t. U. Refuses
to Advocate 1t.

Atlanta, Ga, June 16.-Under the leader
ship of Mrs. W. c. Sibley president of
the organization in Georgia, the Women 5
Christian Temperance Union convention
to-day, by a vote of 80 to IS put the seal
of its condemnation upon woman suffrage
The question has been agitaung the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union for
some time, in fact, it has been the only
live issue in the ranks since the opening
of the present convention, and while those
opposed to the innovation won easily, there
was good deal of talking done, all in or
derby fashion and good natured, however
The issue was made directly to-day by
the introduction of a resolution by Mrs.
McLendOn of Atlanta, providing that wo-
man suffrage should be made a regular
department of the work in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Mrs. McLendon, who is a sister of Mrs
DR.. w. II. FELTON, of Gainesville made a
strong plea for the adoption of her
pet innovation, claiming that the
absence of such a department of
work was responsible for the small num-
Der of delegates in attendance at the con
venuon, and the general apathy in the
ranks of the order throughout the state
as the good women believe that the only
way they can defeat abe sale of whisky is
by their votes.
Mrs. Sibley, the president, and other
ladies' opposed the resolution, because they
said, the Womans Christian Temperance
Union was a Christian and not a political
organization, and they did not want it to
get mixed up in politics. She said that the
creation of such a department would re-
tard the work for temperance, which was
the chief object of the association, and,
anyway. the women of Georgia do not
want the ballot
