| At the annual meeting of the Credit Mems
Association last night John A. Lewis of the
Continental National Bank was elected
| president, J. b. hambers of the n. O. Mel
son Manufacturing Company vice president
and Charles O. Austin of the Mechanics
National Bank treasurer. President Lewis
announced that he would reappoint A. h.
Foote secretary.
About 100 members were present at the
meeting at the Mercantile Club, and heard
encouraging reports from the retiring pres
ident, Niles H. Foster, and the former treas
urer. B.. F. Edwards. The secretary's re-
port, among other things, stated that as
a result of a plan agreed on to raise a fund
for the investigation and prosecution of
those who defraud creditors. about $1,000
has been secured.
In regard to laws to regulate the sale of
merchandise in bulk so that creditors may
be protected from fraud, the association
has had effective statutes passed in ten
States, and they will be pushed in other
States. The st. Louis branch is active in
agitating the matter.
The local association is assisting in the
work of extending activities into the South
for the good of St. Louis. Several recon-
mendations were made affecting credit mat
tiers. One was that the Bankers Clearing
house should place a few more cities on the
free list, as the expense OF collecting coun-
try items is greater here than in many
cities. The abolition of receipts in acknowl-
edgement of certain forms of remittances
was urged as being in the line of economy,
and has been adopted by many large
houses. The proposed post check now
under consideration in Congress was ap-
proved. .

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
PLEDGES MEANINGLESS.
Congress Has the Word of Governor
for It-Admission Made While
Opposing Statehood Bill.
The Republic Bureau.

III 80 anu 4 14AAhSFA Nhaa' 'S
Washington, NAV S.-The House will vote
on the omnibus statehood bill Friday.
The advocates of statehood claim that
they nave a safe majority in the House and
they are beginning to feel more hopeful of
success in the Senate. This confidence is not
shared generally, however.
The expectation is that. in spite of plat
form pledges. the Republicans will let the
statehood bill sleep to death in the Senate
The proposition to make but one State of
Arizona and New Mexico jointly is growing
in favor.
The feature of to-day's debate was the bit
ter opposition of Grosvenor of Ohio to
statehood for these territories. When he
Eas reminded that the Republican party for
twenty years has proclaimed its advocacy
of statehood in the party's platform, Gros-
venor said these pledges meant nothing. The
platform declaration of 1900. he said. was
put in by Lemuel Quig of New York, and
practically none Of the delegates knew 1t
was in, or believed in 1t. When reminded
that previous platforms also pledged state
hood. Grosvenor said this amounted to Moth
ing: and that the party leaders meant moth
ing by the declaration.
Grosvenor was President McKinley's chief
spokesman and lieutenant in Congress and
his candid Interpretation of Republican plat
form pledges was heard with interest by the
Democrats and dissatisfaction by the Repub-
licans.
Delegates Smith Of Arizona, Flynn of Ok
lahoma and Rodey of New Mexico made
strong speeches in favor of statehood for
these Territories. They replied pointedly to
G~rosvenor's assertions and charged him
with manufacturing statistics and history to
fit his argument. Smith said Grosvenor at
least maintained his consistency by being
always wrong. and the evenness of his tenn
per by being always excited"
