WOMEN DEPOSITORS IN BIG
BANKS.

The large extra dividend an
nounced blythe Fifth Avenue Bank
q week ago drew attention to the
very profitable business built up by
that bank and to the fact that
large proportion of its depOsitOrs
are women. That women deposit
ors are good customers for bank
is evidenced by the success of the
Fifth Avenue Bank, but in the
Wall Street district there appears
TO be no love lost by bank officials
on their women depositOrs. They
have long had the reputation of
giving a bank as much trouble as
their accounts were worth, but that
it is true only exceptionally and not
as a rule there is enough evidence
at hand to demonstrate. 1t is
nevertheless fact that the expert
ence of some banks with their
women depOsitors had been such to
lead the officers to avoid, if pos
sible, the acceptance of accounts
from women. Many amusing stories
have been told of the petty diff
culties banks have encountered in
dealing with women, some of the
stories so far fetched apparently
that it is only'when told at first
hand that one is inclined to accept
them as true. The story of the
woman, the daughter of a very
wealthy man, who was indignant
when informed that she had over
drawn her account, and to prove
that she had not done so went to
the bank with her check book to
show that she still had many checks
left, is no more impossible than
some of the actual experiences of
one of the large banks down town.
One of the banks depOsitOrs was
a woman who had large allow
ance, but who spent it rather freely.
On one occasion she Overdrew her
account by considerable amount.
She was informed of the fact by
the bank and apologized for her
oversight. She would correct it
Immediately, she said. She sat
down at her desk and drew a check
on the same bank for the amount
of the overdraft and complacently
handed it to the astOnished clerk
who had come to settle the matter
with her.
On another occasion the bank had
difficulty with woman depositor
for the reason that the signature to
her checks were so irregular that
the paying teller was frequently in
doubt about their genuineness. On
each occasion the checks were sent
up to the residence of the depositOr
for verificatiOn. On the first Occa-
sion the explanation was offered
that the check had been drawn in
hurry, but that the signature was
correct. The next time the de-
positor had drawn the check with
her gloves on, and so had distorted
her signature. On the third Occa-
sion when the bank sent up on a
similar errand the depOsitor was
much annoyed. after first Tefus-
ing to look at the check at all she
consented TO do so, and again as
sured the clerk that the check was
in every respect correct, and she
would thank the bank to pay it.
"Of course the signature is mlne,"
she said. II was busy when |
drew that check and had my maid
sign it for me-
The bank did not close the ac-
count that day, but it found a.
roundabout and diplomatic way of
leading up to it's withdrawal

M4DOO ON TAC4TION.
Takes Licensing authority from the
Boiler Squad Before Starting.

Commissioner McAdoo surprised headquar-
ters by appearing at his office yesterday morn
ing something he has not been known to do on
Saturday for long time. He also created ad-
ditional surprise by taking the granting of
licenses to mechanical engineers from the boiler
squad into his own hands. The Commissioner
in announcing the change said that while it
was well known fact that the granting OF
gineers licenses had been made a source of
graft In times past his decision not based
upon any recent occurrences in that line, but
had been under contemplation by him for
months.

more or less of the star chamber order. The
change means that henceforth engineers Il
censes will be granted merit only.
Commissioner McAdoo also announced that,
as matters in the department were quiet he
had decided 10 start on his summer vacation.
and not wait until the return of Deputy Com
missioner McAvoy, he had originally in

TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Interb0rough Builds Platform at
149th-st. Station.

Because OF lie transfer system and the rapid
increase of the population in The Bronx, the
congestion at the station at 149th-st. has been
a source of complaint. The Interborough Rapid
Transit Company has solved the problem SO as
to prevent jamming Of passengers at that point.
This mation, in the form of official state
ment, was issued yesterday from General Man
ager Hedey's Office.
The statement is follows:
temporary station platform and exit stair
ways leading TO the street. have been con,
structed at the 149th-st. and 3d-ave. elevated
station for the purpose of relieving the conses-
ton at this point caused by large numbers OF
people that desire to avail themselves OF the
privileges of transfer from the elevated to the
subway.
The InterSorough Rapid Transit Company, by
its endeavor to accommodate its patrons. has
voluntarily extended transfer privileges from the
subway To the elevated at l49th-st and 5d-aVe"
and the construction of this new temporary pat
form has been made necessary on account OF the
volume OF business. While this is a season or
the year when travel is comparatively light, the
elevated structures south of 149th-st., I'd and Sd
aves.. are taxed practically to the train move
ment.
The growth OF the north section Of the city, in
The Bronx is very pronounced. for there are
several sections through which the elevated and
subway lines run where block after block OF new
nat and apartment houses are being constructed,
Next fall and winter the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company. via the elevated south or
149th-st will certainly have difficulty with the
Der OF via the elevated south of l49th-st to
properly accommodate the people.
The temporary station platform and extra
stairWays at 149th-st above referred to are for
the accommodation of passengers disemb mbarking
from northbound I'd and Sd ave. trains who de-
sire TO continue their journey via the subway or
terminate their journey at 149th-st. and 3d-ave-
General Manager Hedley supplemented the
statement, which is practically a warning, by
saying that II will take years to build the pro
posed new subways, and long before they are
finished the East Side subway and elevated
roads will be choked by the increasing traffic
He said also that if the request 10 lay third
track on the 2d-ave. elevated was granted that
would afford relief, and that the extra
track could be built within a year. This PROPOSE
tion has been held up by the authorities. al
though it is the only plan that would afford any
practical relief
Aware of the situation and the transportatton
trouble that is to arise in the near future
Mr.. Hediey admitted that he has changed MS
residence from The Bronx to section Of the
| city where there is likelihood of congestion
and trouble in reaching.
