New York, Dec. s.-The annual ban- quet of the New York city group of the New York State Bankers Associa- tion was held tonight at the waldorf Astoria, Nearly 900 bankers :, were present Among the guests were Jos eph H. Choate, Alfred H. Curtis, presi. dent of the New York atate Bankers Associations; James 5Eckeis, Haxnnton Fish. J. L. Hamilton. N. K Jessup, D. F. Kilburn. State teysuperintsndent of banking; J. P. Morgan and William B RidgeIy,. comptroller of the currency.
 The speakers and the toasts were:
 International Exchange." Joseph H. Choate; What We Owe the Bankers" ing, by the Right Rev. Dr. Courtney.
 James H. Eckels, former comptroller of the currency. responded to the toast. The Legislative. Be It Enacted" He reviewed the recent tendency to regu- late business by statute and said that lawmakers no longer rest content in the discharge of legitimate functions. but have entered upon the S''more haz- ardous and seemingly more inviting field of enacting a multiplicity of so- called business statutes and the crea- ton of innumerable commissions"
 These statutes, he declared, make the municipal, State or national, gov ernment a partner in almost every mans business without dollar of investment therein and not ipfrequent- ly with "iil adjusted and wholly inc competent directing agencies." These statutes. sad Mir. Eckeis, are founded upon the curiously contradictory theo- ry that demonstrated success in the business world. large investment and risk of personal capital and reputation and wide experience not only unfit an individual for the proper and wise con- duct of his own business but deadens his sense of patriotism and makes him an enemy of the republic.
 Tt will not do," the speaker con. tead sd. to say hecausa now and then extraordinary powers are exercised by corporations, that therefore they must be unduly regulated or unnecessarily harrassed.
 Those who are at heart advocates of Socialism," Mir. Eckels continued, will accept further concessions along this line In the knowledge that their powers are strengthened. They will not, how ever, be content with this. Each con- cession now granted mems a harder and more threatening struggle when the final demand for that which Is their ultimate desire Is reached
 am not unmindful that during a period of great excitement and open abuses, when unrest Is everywhere manifest. there are more demands for reform through legislative action than during periods of extreme quiet. I take 1t that ID one will dispute the fact that we are in such a period now. There Is underneath all Of this un- doubtedly much of Justification. But even such Justification only makes more essential the exercise of wisdom and prudence and self contro'. No people was ever educated into honesty through the mere enactment of statutory meas ures and no people ever will be-"

 The telegraphers tried to meet this afternoon It the nall of the Technical Society to discuss the ways and means to keep up the strike but they were compelled to disperse by a police cap- tain backed by 8 squadron of CoSsacks on the ground that they were violating the regulations
 The League of Leagues has called on the workmen and on all friends of freedom to donate days wages 10 the cause of the telegraphers and has warn ed the railroad telegraph operators that they must cease to transmit any except service messages. Father Gapon is continuing to preach to the worEmen against revolution. saying that the strike tactics are sure to eventuate in reaction and teopardize the freedom purchased by blood He warns the revolutionists and socialists that they cannot arouse the peasants by their political demands, but are more likely to raise up counter rev olutfon.

 The decision as to the time and place for the next Congress was reached without much diffieuity by the Execu- tive Board of the Bureau of American Republics upon a presentation. of the facrs that the, first preceding confer ences had been held in the United States, the second in Mexico and coTee- quentIy the third should go to Brasil by seniority. ~ = ~ The time selected Is that of mid winter in the subtropics. closely corre- spending in season to rlorida during the winter While Rio de Janeiro Is nominally the place for the meeting. 1t is probable that the third conference will be assembled at Metropolis. which is the dipionatic suburb of the Bra gillian capital.
 Secretary Root, who presided over the meeting today. reiterated, his purpose of attending this third Congress at the head of, the American delegation, the other members of which have not yet been elected It Is probable ia order to emphasize the interest this Government feels In the appros hing Congress with its probable important effect upon the relations of various nations of North.
