ready to begin business tomorrow. The
scene at general headquarters yesterday af-
ternoon when Secretary Branche opened the
office and began the registration of dele
gates was animated one. Long before
the registration began a line had been
formed to the secretary's desk and by the
time the books were open the line extended
through the long ball room and into the
hall AT no time in the afternoon did the
line decrease in length. The beginning of
registration was signalized by humorous

fication of legal decisions relating to safe
deposit companies, ETC., was presented In
printed form and was not read, The pres-
ertation of the report having finished the
business program Mr.. L. e. Anderson of
the Mercantile Trust Company of ST. Louis
was introduced to read a paper on the
BENEFIT of Real Estate Department to a
Trust Company" Mr.. Anderson said a real
estate department of trust company is
not only OF benefit to all the other depart
ments of the trust company but is a pay-
ing business of itself. No trust COMPANY
should be without u real estate department.
he said.
and present status of trust companies in
the United States was then presented by
Mr.. Edward II. Perrine, general manager
OF the Audit Company of New York The
paper OF Mr.. Perrtne contained an ex-
haustive statement of the expansion of the
business of trust companies as compared
with the growth of business in other lines
of commercial endeavor. The figures show
ed that the trust companies have grown to
an enormous extent. In concluding his
statement he said:
viii you, in conclusion, and with thanks
for your kind attention to all of these re-
marks upon the growth and status of
american trust companies, permit, as a final
thought regarding these thirty-three billions
or banking power, that our trust companies
with their present liabilities of over three
and three-quarters of billions of dollars
comparatively little of which is of the ma
ture of moneys due other banks-ofrer as
their contribution to the vast total of bank
Ing power, volume of credits which may
be fairly said to constitute one-tenth, and
even upward of one-tenth. of the aggregate
banking power of this and other countries,
the world over"
The last address on the program was de-
voted to statement of the purposes and
scope of the Banking Publicity Association
of the United States, by Mr.. Frederick
Phillips, secretary of the Lincoln Trust

For SI0.0Oe.
SUIT GREW OUT OF ARREST OF
DOUGLAS CAUSED BY MALEY
ON CHARGE OF MURDER.

A. B. Douglas, through his attorneys,
Frank Moore and Hon. Reed Green,
Saturday filed suit with Circuit Clerk
Lee b. Davis against Edward j. Maley
asking $4,000 damages for causing
his arrest on false charge.
As may be seen from the clause on
whica the suit is based I is an after
math OF the affidavit sworn TO some
time ago by Maley charging Douglas
with the murder Of his bartender. vii
liam Parr. Douglas was arrested on
the charge AMI was acquitted at his
preliminary trial, no; enough evidence
being occurred 10 warrant h 5 being
bound over to the grand Jury.
AT the time when the warrant was
sworn oat Maley was confident that a
case conld be made, he having been
told by aeQuaiutances thar evidence
OF q nature necessary TO convict could
be secured from woman still Twins
in the civ and also from an old
steamboat man who was sleeping in

murder was committed st the hear
