CRITIClsE NORMAL
Committee Which Investigated the
Educational Board of Control Plan
Said to Have Made Severe criti-
cism Of Entrance Requirements at
State Normal.

Des Moines, Dec. 30.-The most se-
we're criticism embodied in the report
of the educational board of control
commission, agreed to yesterday. is
said to he directed toward the State
Normal School at Cedar Falls, while
least criticism is directed toward the
State university at Iowa City.
The commission has refused to give
out the findings of fact until the legis-
lature meets, but it has leaked out
that the committee has been impressed
by the Implications, and that the very
high grade of work attempted at Cedaf
Falls at a large expense is not entirely
authorized by the law. 1t is said that
admission to the normal school Is only
possible to those already holding two+
year certificates to teach or graduates
of accredited high schools, but under
the law it's function is defined to be to
instruct persons to teach the common
branches.
That the expenses of the mathemat-
ical and Latin departments at the
normal school are as high If not higher
than at the university, for instance,
is said to be referred to by the COM
mission.
On the other hand the university and
the agricultural college come in for
criticism, 1t is said, because they are
doing work that should be done by the
high schools of the state. That is the
agricultural college admits unprepared
students who are permitted to prepare
for the college work within the co.'s
lege. and to meet this competition the
university has followed the policy Of
admitting persons having three years
work in the accredited schools This
policy is said to meet with the disap-
proval of the commission.
These things have merely leaked
from the commissions conferences and
are indicative Of the extent of the in
quiry into which the board has gone
in studying the question.
! It's Work Done.
The commission was in session yes
teriay at the capitol and agreed to tll&'
findings of fact and endations
to the Legislature which has been pre-
pared in conformity with the agree
ment reached at former meeting; the
document as prepared is very short
Dut Iull OF meat. IL WEI 'pe slSHeu sal
another meeting of the commission
here next Saturday, and will be filed
in the legislature at the first session.
The commission held long confer
ence with Governor Cummins yester-
day afternoon and 1T is said that at
this meeting the plan proposed by the
committee was fully discussed. Neith-
er the commission nor the executive
would give out information respecting
the matter, last night.

CURTIS ATTACKS
TRUST COMPANIES
President of New York Bankers
Association Causes Sensation
In Bank Circles
TRUST CONCERNS CRITICIZED
Declares They are Doing Banking
Business With Billion Deposits and
Practically No Cash Reserve-Reso-
Iutions Asking Amendment to the
Law are Adopted.

Buffalo, N. z, Dec 30.-Alfred N.
Curtis, president of the New York
State Banks association. created a
mild sensation at the annual meeting
of Group No. 1 of the New York State
Bankers association here last night.
by his criticism of the operations Of
trust companies in the banking busi-
ness with practically no reserves. In
New York City, he declared, the trust
companies have over billion of dol
lars on deposit with less than two per
cent cash in their vaults. The last re-
port Of the superintendent Of banking,
he said, showed one large trust COM
pany in New York had nearly $6O,OO0,-
900 deposits and did not have one dol
lar cash in its vaults, although it had
a bank account. Resolutions were
adopted urging amendments to the
state laws relative to suitable reserves.

basket, made by his own hands Each
fall, from force of habit, he makes
trip to the timber in order to gather
willow branches for his baskets.
y In 1854 when William Huen was
young man he moved to a farm IN IL
linois through which a beautiful creek
coursed. On it's banks were growing
many willows and in the winter, IN
place of spending the long evening
idly, he formed willow twigs and
branches into baskets. Before the
snow came he cut and hauled several
wagon loads to the yard. The making
of baskets from these was long task
for every piece used must first be boil
ed and barked. Other members OF his
family assisted him in this stage of the
basketry Mr.. Huen made all kinds OF
baskets from the tiniest work basket TO
the market and clothes baskets. Now
that he has become a man of seventy
eight years he has not made baskets
as means of livelihood, as in the ear
ly days, for he is a retired farmer.
Still he enjoys making few each year
and often relates how at one time he
cut, prepared and made enough bask-
cts in those earlier days in two months
to bring $4,000.

Charlton, Dec 30.-The second dis
astrous within year broke out in
Charlton shortly before midnight last
night and caused loss estimated at
over 100000. Osceola and Abba were
called upon for help and special
train brought their fire departments to
the scene, but not until half a dozen
business firms had been practically
ruined, and six two-story buildings
were destroyed. Owing to the high
rates on insurance, due to the lack OF
proper fire protection, the amount OF
insurance carried by the merchants
who suffered losses was small, being
only about one third of the loss.
The fire started in Swifts restaur-
ant, presumably from defective f1ue,
and when discovered was eating its
way thru the walls to the adjoining
business houses. The fire company
was summoned and under the leader
ship of Mayor Alexander made a be-
roic effort to stay the flames which
were soon beyond control. Abba and
Osceola were wired for help and a
special train over the Burlington
brought the companies to the scene.
The city has had poor fire protection
and one result of the fire will be i'm
mediate steps to secure for the city a
modern water W ks system. 1t is said
that all the buildings destroyed will be
rebuilt.

DOUBT BANK CASHIER
Strong Suspicious Directed Toward
Alleged Burglary Of Farmers Bark
at EIIston-LiabiIities $4,000, Assets
Nothina-started Bank With ilo
CAPITAL.

Special to Times Republican.
Mount Ayr, Dec. 30.-The Farmers
Bank of Ellston, which was burglarized
on November 20, has liabilities of AZ
most $4,000, and assets of not one cent
in cash. Luckily, as the bank lad
been running only two months, rhe
creditors are few, and they, hoping
that their claims would be paid by the
father Of Cashier Frank Shaughntisy,
have assiduously guarded the secret OF
the banks condition until within the
past few days. 1t was thought at first
that the liabilities would not exceed
81. 100, and the elder Mr.. Shaughr esy
stood ready to make the amount god,
but later it was discovered that the
banks hooks were no guide to its con-
dition, and sthe liabilities have grown
beyond his ability to pay. The amount
is made up. of $4,000 deposits AMI Of
drafts which the cashier induced per-
sons to accept in payment of checks.
The assets are the furniture and Ak
lures.
When the safe was blown open a
month ago the vault was not reached.
and the cashier said $3.50 in silver was
about the amount in the cash DRIVER.
He now admits that there was no cash
in either receptacle, and strong sus-
picions are directed toward the alleged
burglary. The insane commission was
called to consider his case shorty af-
ter the burglary, but pronounced him
sane. Cashier Shaughnesy is about
25 years old. He started the banl: with
no capital, paying off 500 in debts with
the deposits in the bank. He had no
backing, although at first he claimed
heavy capitalists were with him.
