Lee and piped to the Chas. Estel farm

mode of lighting and heating their
apartments, and hence prospecting be-
gan and supplies OF gas were found at
a number of farms lying east of where
it was found. After one or more fruit

Dubuque, Nov. 1.-The Telegraph
Herald publishes the following alleged
correspondence by telegraph between
Julian Richards, Speaker Henderson's
private secretary. and the speaker:
ITO D. b. Henderson, Atlantic City,
N. j.: The republicans of this district
demand that you return to Iowa and
make few speeches for Birdsall. He is
In danger of defeat. Answer (SigneD
Julian Richards"
ITO j. w. Richards Waterloo Ia:
must positively decline to make any
speeches for man who ignored me by
refusing to reply to my telegram and
letter of congratulations upon his nom
nation. (Signed) D. b. Henderson"
When asked about this matter Chair
man Wright of the congressional COM
nittee said: Il have read the story, and
while hardly necessary to notice, l VIII
say that Judge Birdsall did answer the
speakers letter. He received number
Of congratulatory kilograms and letters
and answered most of them by dictation
TO q stenographer, but he answered the
letter of Colonel Henderson with his
own hand within thirty minutes after
he received 1t and mailed his letter to
the speaker at Atlantic City. AS to
Judge Birdsall's not. inviting Colonel
Henderson to make speeches in the dis
trict. that is easily understood by tho
fact that Judge Birdsall thought Col
onel Henderson was not in position
to make speeches in this campaign, that
he was certainly not situated so he
could talk for Judge Birdsall If he could
not make a campaign for himself. Be-
sides the speaker was with his sick
daughter at Atlantic City.

Des Moines, Nov. 1.-There are in
dications here that the liveliest KIND
of a fight is going to be put UP against
the new law, sometimes called the
Griswold bill, which has for its pur-
pose to put stop to that form of
irregular speculation coupled with an
element of chance and closely akin
to lotteries, which has come to be
known as the "home cooperative" bus
mess. The best example of these COM
panies or associations or firms was
one in Minneapolis which engaged in
selling diamonds and jewelry on the
plan Of compelling the late members
to pay for the diamonds of those who
got in first The attention of the leg
islature and the governor was called
to this scheme and the fact that these
companies, chiefly in Minneapolis, KAN
sas City and Omaha, We're doing an
enormous business in Iowa. A law was
passed which compels them to come in
under the building and loan law, not
because they are building and loan
concerns. but because under that law
there is a provision which requires
that the plan of business be submitted
to competent officials and passed on,
SO that there can be no scheme which
in effect accomplishes fraud. During
the present year number of companies
have started up to do business on this
plan or something similar. They are
Incorporated under the general moor
poration laws because it is not yet
determined how far the state officials
may go in enforcing this new law. I'm
der the guise of legality thus con-
ferred these companies are making
great Roadway in the state. But the
secretary of state has refused to issue
charters to some of the newer ones, ana
one formed here has commenced suit
in court to compel the secretary OF
state to issue the charter This is re-
garded as test suit and If 1t is decided
in favor of the company the whole law
falls to the ground and companies
may be legalized in Iowa to do almost
any kind of business. 1t is learned
that a determined effort will be made
to get this case as well as one brought
by a Kansas City company into the
courts in a manner most favorable TO
companies and favorable to the law.
In the end the supreme court will hare
to pass on the law.

IMPORTANT TO BANKS.
Attorney General Says Savings De-
partment is Legal.


partment is Legal.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. IAN important
opinion affecting banks has been given
Auditor Merriam by Attorney General
Mullan He holds that national. state
and private banks may lawfully or
game and conduct savings depart
ments in connection with their general
banking business. He also holds that
individuals, partnerships and private
corporations may carry on savings
bank business. The only restrictions
under which savings departments so
organized are placed are those impos-
ed by section 1859 of the code, prohib-
iting the use of the words, savings
bank" and Savings institution" in adj
vertising their business to the public.
The question is one that has been
agitating banking circles Of Iowa 1t
became acute at Shenandoah recently
Some of the national banks in Iowa
have lately, 1t appears, been organic
ing savings departments. This was done
at Shenandoah. County Attorney
Sutherland took up the matter and
threatened action against President
Reed, OF the shenandoah Ndtlona1 bsHh
for taking such a step. He advised
with Attorney General Mullan, who
counseled against precipitate action
and advised investigation of the ques-
ton of the rights of national banks to
organize savings departments. Audit
or Merriam has also been beset with
queries on the same proposition and
when he requested the attorney gen
eral for an opinion that officer under
took a thorough investigation of the
question which has not been adjudi-
Gated by the courts.
