Queer Legal Tangle.

The will Of Henry Yocum, who own
ed the yacht Paul Jones, and was on
it when it was lost in the Gulf OF
Mexico, left all his estate to his daugh-
ter, and should she have died before
he did the estate would have gone to
his heirs. The daughter was also on
the boat, and because she, too. has
heirs, the case makes a curious legal
tangle. The old Roman law held tina,
in case of shipwreck person below
the age of Is was presumed to die be-
fore an older person who persisted in
the same wreck. Above the age OF II
it is presumed that the elder of two
persons died first. The daughter was
20 years old, but the heirs of the father
propose to have a fight for the estate

Faith the nnsis of Banking,

Faith is, after all, the basis of bank
ing, and if there be no faith there can
be no banking For that reason it is
possible for those who are skilled in
bookkeeping, but who are dishonest, to
carry on, sometimes for q series of
months or even years, dishonest methods
by which even the most expert account
ants are deceived and can be deceived
as long as this dishonest man can have
access to the books.
The record of embarrassments or fail
ures has, in almost every instance, made
clear, upon examination. that dishon-
est methods of this kind were carried
on by those who had daily access to the
books, in one case for period covering
at least 10 years. In that case the dis
honest employee, knowing that his safe
ty depended upon his ability to reach
the books, refused to take a vacation.
If the officers of the bank are unable to
detect dishonesty of this kind-even if
they adopted the most approved and
scientific method of bookkeeping-it is
beyond reason to expect that a national
bank examiner can do it.--Hon. Thomas
l.. Jones, President OF Lincoln National
Bank, New York, in North American
Review
