One day last week Mr. Leach was travelling over

In making his escape the bear ran directly past

got away. Mr. Leach dressed the bear and hung
the carcass in tree, returning then to camp.
Next morning, when he went back for the bear,
there were fresh deer tracks around the tree, and
he sat down log and waited. In the course

MAJORITY AGAINST BRANCH BANKING.
THE SENTIMENT AT THE BANKERS
CONVENTION.

Cleveland, Nov u.-Colonel Myron T. Herriek,
retiring president of the American Bankers Asso-
citation returned home to-day from the convention
OF that organization at New-Orleans. In discussing
the work of the meeting and proposed plans look
ing TO an expansion OF the currency. Colonel Her
rick said:
II was evident that the majority Of those attend
ing the convention were against branch banking
and asset currency. 1t was also evident that the
convention In favor OF more elastic and
emergency currency. In my opinion. the bankers,
a class, favor in the interest OF emergency cur
rency an expansion Of the present bond system, so
10 include State and municipal bonds
Among the many plans suggested, the one that
appears TO the most advisable to advocate.
especially when considering our present system
OF paper currency, is that the government should
be placed in a position whereby 1t may issue emer-
and municipal bonds For such currency a liberal
rate OF interest should be charged not under 8.
or perhaps 6, per cent. Possibly this rate should
not be definitely fixed by legislation. but arranged
from time to time, the exigency might demand,
by the Secretary Of the Treasury and the Con-
ton of which they would be members.
The security would be beyond question, as the
restrictions upon eligible bonds could be so made
10 satisfy the most conservative. For example,
the Indebtedness fer village, say, from LOCO 20
5000 would be limited 20 per cent OF its tax
largest cities 10 per OF their duplicate the
cities between the largest and the villages TO be
rated scientific basis, based upon their
wants according TO population Another restriction
that might be added in this should not be
considered ample would be that no bonds should

per cent.
