Engineers Position of Commits
sioner General of Immigration.

Washington, March 1.-THE position
of commissioner general of immigra-
ton has been rendered by the presi-
dent to Frank P. Sargent, chief of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
to succeed T. V. Powderly, the present

string to relieve Mr.. Powderly is be-
cause he has not worked in harmony
with the higher officials of the treas
ury department, which has resulted in
more or less friction. 1t also has been
determined to relieve Thomas Fitchie,
commissioner at New York, and his as
sistant, Edward F. McSweeney. The
changes, it is said, will take effect April
1, although it is not given out who will
succeed theslatter officials.
Washington, March TIT is under
stood that Mr.. Frank P. Sargent, the
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, will accept the Office of
commissioner of immigration in the
treasury department when it is for
mally offered him, which, it is said,
will be shortly.

DISCUSS THE PLANS.
Bankers Talk of Movement to Issue
National Money Orders.

New York, March 1.-THE Bankers
Money Order association held a meet
ing Saturday afternoon at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. The object of the asso-
citation, which was established some
time ago, is to enable banks through
out the country to issue interchange
able money orders in competition with
the United States post Office At its
inception the association had only GER
tain banks in various parts of the coun-
try that honored the money order
drafts, but since then the advantages
of the scheme, which is similar to the
money order system of the United
States postal service, so appealed to
the banks in general that to-day al
most all the banks in the country and
the smaller cities are members OF the
association. The present interchange
able system of money orders, while
seemingly working satisfactorily IN
the opinion of the officers of the asso-
citation, is open for improvement, and
to discuss this was the purpose OF the
meeting.
Percival Kuhne, of the banking
house of Knauth, Nachod q kuhne, Is
president of the association. Speak
ing of the meeting, he said that 1t had
been a satisfactory one and that sew
eral improvements had been suggest
ed. He declined, however, to discuss
the suggestions on the ground that
they should be adopted and tried first.
According to the present system of the
association, a person can obtain
money order from bank in any part
of the country without being depos-
itor at the bank and for sum not less
than five dollars and not exceeding $50,
and wherever presented banks and
bankers are requested to pay it. This
Is an advantage over the postal money
order methods, which make an order
payable only at specific post Office.
The connection of the association in
Canada is the Imperial Bank of Can
ada, which has branches at Toronto,
Winnipeg, Vancouver and Montreal.
In Mexico the Banco Nacional de Mex
leo is the correspondent:
scope OF the movement.
indianapolis, Ind, March 17.-Of
the movement by the bankers of the
country for a universal money order
system, which was decided upon in
detail at the meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the bankers associa-
tions of the different states in New
York Saturday, President Medford B.
Wilson, of the Capitol national bank,
said Saturday night:
1.-The object of the money order associa-
ton is TO GONE in competition with the ex-
press companies in carrying small money
orders which tend to take the business
away from the banks, where II properly
belongs, instead Of giving It to them
ASSOCIATIONS plan Will restore TO the bank
ers much OF the business in this line which
Is now being done by the government
through the post office. The general scheme
Is to have a universal money order issued
by bankers which will be honored at any
bank where the order may be presented.
For instance. If you want TO carry or send
money, all you have to Go is TO get bank
ers' money order. take il with you or send
II in the mail and II will be honored any
place in the country without cost or incon-
yenience"
