BILL TO AMEND BANKING LAW.
Would Put Wall Street Firms Under State
Superintendent.

Albany, April 4.-The Assembly Commttee on
Banks, of which J. T. Smith, of Dutchess
County is chairman, is receiving many letters
about a bill of Assemblyman Cowan' which
amends the banking law so as to subject prl-
vate banks to the requirements and eXamlna-
tions of the State Banking Department. MI
Cowan. who is president Of the National Bank
of Hobart Delaware County explains that the
hill was introduced at the instance or DelaWaIe e
County men who had lost largely through the
trrag1iar rites of a private banker IN thal
cau9tv and who felt that like experiences in
other places might be averted by placing all
nriyate bankers under the jurisdiction OF the
Superintendent of Banks.
The opposition to the bill arises from the 1act
that II would affect not only the smaller private
banks in minor cities and towns ana l!Ise J + ueoi
;y Nth foreign spea king people, but the great
wall Street firms. such as J. P. Morgan q Co.
the Seligmans Kuhn. Loeb & Co ana spencer

Mr. cowan and is still in the hands OF the COM
rnittee on Banks.

NAY TRY TO BREAK Law.
Possible attitude of SaIoonkeepers
May Be Shoacn To-day.
BREWERS AND BONDING COMPANY.

One effect of the new law increasing the liquor
tax 80 per cent may be shown to-day In the de-
termination of many saoonkeepers to sell IN
violation of the Sunday law. They talked pit
terly yesterday about the increase in the tax,
saying that they would be driven out of business
after May 1 If they were not allowed TO keep
their places open on Sundays and they might
well try to make something out of their
business in the few Sundays remaining before
the law goes into effect Some of the
saloonkeepers declared that many as five
thousand of the smaller dealers in the city
would be unable to pay the $1,000 license fee
Some of them, 1t was said, would try to sell
without license, but most of them would nave
to close up their stores. discharge their bar
tenders and sell out their fixtures.
Captain OConnor, of the West Thirtieth-st-
station took another view Of it. He said last
night that he had received information from a
trustworthy source that the saloonkeepers all
over the city had agreed among themselves here
after to obey all the rules of the excise law TO
the letter. The cautain said that this meant that
the side door method OF serving drinks on Sun
days 10 persons known to the saloonkeepers
would be discontinued at once. This, the cap
tain sal YOU'D b done in order to cause the
liquor drinking pU1,,..2 to become disgusted with
the excise law, and was purely political move
on the part of the saiconkeepers.
Captain O'Connor said that all the saloons in
his precinct. so far he knew, had closed up
tight at l o'clock this morning.
The liquor dealers do not believe that the
legislature will pass District Attorney Jerome S
bill to permit the opening of saloons after
p. m. Sundays. They say that the refusal
to pass liberal Sunday law, as well as the IN
crease in the liquor tax, is due to the influence
of the farmers Many saloonkeepers have been
removing cheese from their free lunch counters,
with the idea of Furnishing the farmers
Ut said yesterday that the big brewers,
who control many liquor stores in the city, are
planning to form a bonding company to take
away from the companies in which some promi.
nent politicians are interested the business of
bonding the liquor dealers. The profits of the
bonding company, ii was said, would be divided
with the liquor dealers.
The police are expected to be active in en-
forcing the Sunday law at the saloons to-day
because the talk of saloonkeepers about doing
business has been reported at Police Headquar-
ters.
1t was said yesterday that several of the COM
panies which furnish bonds for the liquor deal
ers have greatly increased the premiums TO be
paid by applicants. One Of the well known
companies it was rumored. had practically de-
cided to withdraw from the field entirely
