NEW BANKS TO BE STARTED.
Many National Institutions VIII BE Set
Up on Very Small Capital.

New YORK, March S.-Advices re-
ceived by local banking interests from
small towns throughout the United
States indicate that state banks in all
sections of the country are preparing to
take out charters under the national sys-
tenn as soon as the currosty bill becomes
law.
One man from western town told a
bank officer that he expected to start
eight banks, with capital of $25, 900.
Reports of similar preparations in other
sections of the country led to a predic-
yion by an officer of one of the best
known banks that fully 1000 national
charters would be applied for after ex-
listing restrictions were modified.

NEW YORK, March S,--Professional

In consequence, dealing on the Ex-

this retraction of an article which re-
Gently was published in its columns
about Professor Swithin G. Shortlidge.
brother of Former Mayor Evan G..
Shortlidge:
1t is the well-known policy OF the
Record to treat all men with fairness,
and to correct amy hurt Inadvertently
inflicted on the innocent. We therefore
unreservedly retract the article which
was published in the Record on We'd
nesday. October 10, under a misappre-
hension of the facts in regard to am
alleged insurance on the life Of Pro
fessor Swithin c. Shortlidges dead
wife. We have never had any reason
to doubt that Professor Shortlidge was
insane in 1898. at the time his wife
was killed, and that the trial at Me-
dia was fair and thorough, and thu
acquittal perfectly just.
We are glad to make this correc
ton, which is due to Professor Short
lidge, who, during a long and usefu
career as the head of great school
had maintained a character for thu
strictest Christian integrity and tn
highest honor.
This policy on Professor Shortlidge'
own life could have no bearing Oi
nor connection with his devoted wife
sad and untimely death. Moreover
the financial disasters which ha
broken his health and dethroned hi

10 every reasonable Republican, but
DR.. Layton and his committee practi-
cally demanded that the Republicans
withdraw their entire county ticket
and swing in and support the Union
Republican ticket on which they had
no representation whatever. Quite nat
urally, the Republicans refused to dc
it, and the result is that two tickets
have been filed.
