~ A SAVER.
In this case, then, the main thing is to GET STARTED.
A penny or a nickel will do for a sart-provded you do not rob
the little home bank before you get a dollar in small coins together
and get these out Of your own hands and into the hands Of the saw
ings bank.
The best savers are often those who have the smallest resources
from which to practice their art. And they score ahead Of the others
because they are quick to learn two things: First-not to wat}D r
too big a sum before depoSting; second, not to fall back" on the
bank and use its accumulation under any kind of compulsion short
of starvation.
under way. BUT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SAVE TILL
1T HURTS-who cut into selfindulgence right down to the bone.
There is many a story Of heroic fortitude and unAinching determine
ton written between the entries in the pass books Of savings banls-
and many a line Of romance, tool
Few persons have any conception Of the vast volumes Of these
small savings. Here are a few facts that are more expressive and
interesting than SO many adjectives. if they do contain figures:
May of 1901 the savings banks Of the world contained $685.
$4,000 Even a Rc.hschi,.. a Rockefeller or a Morgan would admit
this to be a tidy sum.
This tremendous volume Of money was saved by 6~3so7oooo de-
positors, making an average of SI4I24 for each savings depostor the
world over.
OF course the United States led the list in the amount of de-
posts. Our savers put away S2.5o7oooooo against a rainy day.
Then, too, we touch the top notch in the matter OF the highest
average amount Of the individual accompanying this up to S4o8 3d.
To say that the small savings accounts in this country amount
to S2,so7oooooo sounds big, but it doesn't mean much to the aver
age man. Perhaps we can better grasp the significance Of it by put
ting it this way: 1T is MORE BY 0 $42ooooooo HAN
H HOLE VOLUME O MONEY IN ACTUAL CIRCULA-
TON IN UNITED STATES-which is estimated to be ST.,
IH,oOoOO
W. don't hear very much about savings banks, as compared with
other banks-those of a commercial character. But the books show
that the individual deposits of the national banks Of this country
July, 1901, were only S63I 100000 more than the savings deposits.
In other words, the deposits OF the savings banks were found
to be about one-third those Of all other kinds Of banks.
1t may be that one reason we hear so little talk about savings
banks is because they fail SO seldom as compared with other banks
This, Of course, is because in nearly all states they are subject to
especial restrictions to guard against poor investment Of their funds
and against runs and pancs.
But, to resume the moral pointed by all these figures:
BEGIN THE SAVING HABIT. IT WILL STICK TO
YOU and give you thrift in the place Of want. And when you get a
thousand dollars invest it in some bond or security that is as solid
as the Sphinx

WASHINGTON LETTER.
washington, october 8, 1909.

washington, october 6, 1909.
Intense interest, followed by bitter dis
appointment, has attended the conference
Of railway presidents interested In the an
thracite coal mines and President Mitch
ell of the Mine Workers Union, called by
President Roosevelt. When the presi-
dents eloquent appeal to the interested
parties was first made public there was a
general impression that the conference
would prove successful. The concluding
words of that appeal were: 81 do not
invite discussion of your respective
claims and positions. appeal to your
patriotism, to the spirit that sinks per-
sonal considerations and makes individ-
ual sacrifices for the general goodn In
response to this appeal Pres. Mitchell Of
fered to order the strikers to return to
work Immediately, and leave all differ
ences to be subsequently adjudicated by a
tribunal which should be entirely appoint
ed by the president. The railway presi-
dents refused to consider the offer. They
painted In glowing colors the failure Of
the state authorities to preserve law and
order, and appealed to the president to
protect their property and those workmen
who were willing to enter the mines on
the old terms from the lawlessness and
violence Of the strikers. The president
doubtless fully appreciated that In their
representations lay the weak spot in his
contention. Nevertheless he again urged
upon them full consideration of the suffer-
ing which must inevitably come to the
general public as result of their persist
eDt maintenance of their rights. Further
than that he did not argue the case and
the meeting dispersed.
The only apparent result of the con-
ference was to demonstrate that the oper-
ators were unqualifiedly unwilling to,
in the remotest degree, recognize the
union, and the miners were unwilling to
abandon their union In the interest Of a
suffering public. 1t Is freely predicted
that the president Is determined that the
strike shall end, and that he has further
measures In contemplation. By some 1t
is alleged that he will convene congress
In special session, by others that he will
appeal to Gov. Stone to restore order, or,
in the event of his inability to do so, to
call for regular troops. What the presi-
dent really intends to do probably no man
knows, but there is general feeling that
he will find some way OF protecting the
interest of the American people in this
serious crisis.
William Nelson Cromwell, general
counsel for the Panama Canal Co., Is au-
thority for the statement that the French
courts have taken the necessary steps to
render satisfactory the title offered to At
torney General Knox by his company, and
he predicts that Mr.. Knox will report to
tho prosIuent that there Is no flaw. Mr..
Knox refuses to make public any state
ment In regard to his findings until his
report shall have been submitted to the
president, and, as his attention is now de.
voted almost entirely to the subject of the
coal strike, his report may be deferred
for some time.

BRIEF FOR
NEW TRIAL
Pearl Harbor Case
Again Before
EStee.

United States Attorney Breckons sub
mitted the brief upon the motion for d
new trial in the Honolulu Plantation
Co. case to Judge Estee yesterday. The
argument was prepared by Assistant
United States Attorney Dunno. who
has been the principal in all the Pearl
Harbor cases so far. The defendant
has five days from yesterday in which
to file n reply brief. II is hardly 20
be expected that the court Will grant
new trial. and the United States At
torney has received instructions to ap-
peal TO the Circuit Court of Appeals
| in case the motion is denied. The
| higher court can do no more than or
der a new trial. though the question of
trial by jury may then be raised. II
viii be remembered that at the begin
ming OF the Pearl Harbor suits. this
question was raised by the respondents.
the United states contendinE that the
| court had the power itself 10 fix the
| amount OF damages. In the Bishop es-
tate matter Judge Estee allowed jury
trial. but distinctly stated that such
ruling could not be taken as a prece-
dent in the remaining CaStS. II might
now be possible II an appeal is carried
90 tire higher court that Il trial without
jury b. ordered.
Air. Dunno. IN his argument for n
new trial. relies principally upon the
alleged eXc"ssivcuess of the award by

OF the Injunction would permit the public
to get the advantage Of having another
great iaAroaH system constructed into
the community. The tracks thus author
lied to bh aid. 1t would appear. would
be ample to meet the requirements Of the
respondent. The respondent could have
access to that portion of First avenue
where It owns abut1ing property and
where 1t proposes to construct some of
Its terminal works; and 1t further ap-
pears that the construction OF one track
aleng Thirty second street and Tenth
avenue, especially in view of the fact that
the respondent states that It does not
intend to do belt line business such as
is done by the complainant, will be ann
PIE fo~ the purpose Of making eonnec-
lions with other railroads and for obtain
ing an outlet westward from the city Of
Birmingham. In constructing the track,
however, the respondent would necessar-
ily take property OF complainant where
1T crossed tracks OF complainant or its
rights of way, and for such taking 1t
must, VI der the constitution of the state
and under numerous decisions Of the SUI
pfeme Court, fust make compensation.
I think that the construction of the
four tracks, as authorized by the city of
Birmingham, slong a portion of First
avenue, in said city, would not constitute
a public Nuisance, and hence would not
operate to prevent a modification OF the
injunction. The court considered the az
fidavits en- file only for the purpose of
aiding and influencing the court in the
exercise of the discretion herein referred
to, and for such purpose the affidavits
are admissible.
