Mr.. Branches Report.
Interest was manifested to-day in the
annual report of Secretary James r.
ltrancll, in which he said:
5 For two years the work Of the Pro-
$tectlve Committee has been conducted
through the secretary's office with a re-
duction OF expenses. During the past
fiscal year, ending August 81 1905. the
Pinkerton National Detective Agency has
obtained splendid results towards sup
pressing crime for the association. They
have captured si&ty-two professional
bank criminals, thrty-five Of whom have
been convicted. The total amount of
their sentences aggregate eghty-four
wears. This does not include nine in
Discriminate terms, and nineteen of those
arrested are now waiting trial. William
Rudolph, who, with Geo. Collins, robbed
3the Bank of Union, Union, Mo-, and later
OH killed Detective Schumacher was exc
cuted May s, 1906 at Union, Mo. The pro-
stective work Of the association last year
cost $26,0al.Gl. while for the year ending
August 81 1904, it cost $34,2S2.44, a de-
crease of sS,25O.S3. although the member
ship is larger now than ever before.
The committee adopted this year plan
of issuing monthly reports to members
and the press of the country, thus call
ing the attention of criminals to the fact
that the committee is relentless In Its
pursuit of depredators who operate
against members. The Protective Com
mittee Is a secret one, and Il large part
OF the growth, prestige and Importance
of the association is due to It's labors.
The Committee on Education has or
Eanized thirty-sev"n chapters, an addi-
tion OF twelve during the last year. The
efforts of this committee have been to-
wards elevating. the standard of cduca-
tional work to eVen.Ti higher plane than
It has occupied. The total membership
Of tho chapters Is $3.50. being an increase
of over 1000 in twelve months. Fifty
che students have already passed pre-
e!minary examinations In practical bank
Ing, eight in commercial law and thirty
six on political economy. There arc 29J
applications for preliminary examina-
ton In practical banking, IT'S In CONNER
c!al law. and 1870 in political economy.
THE promotion in the banks in which
the are employed OF many clerks who
have taken an active interest In the
work of these chapters, shows that they
nre not only improving themselves hut
K that the work of the Committee on Ed
ucatlon is being recognized by the banks
of the country.
Negotiable Insurance.
The Committee on Uniform Law, has
helped towards the adoption OF the nego-
table insurance law by States who nPrr
rot already taken it up. Kansas, THch-
igan Missouri, and Nebraska, have adopt
ed It during the past year, making
total OF twenty-nine States now having
this law on their statutes.
