About thirty petitions and communi-

Jectlons to the proposed transfer of
Moseheim F. f. SwartzeH from the prin-

that Of Central High and the conse-

The greater part of these letters were
written and signed by individuals and
come from the Central High School s
adherents. A few are from Eastern g

ers in large numbers from all parts of
the State are here today in attendance
at the twelfth annual convention OF
the New York State Bankers Associa-
ton, in session at the Hotel Frontenac.
Charles H. Sabin, vice president of

bany, and president of the association,
delivered the annual address. Mr.. Sabin
said in part:
Public confidence in financial institu-
items has been rudely shaken by the ex-
posture of the internal affairs OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society This
has been essentially true in the smaller
cities and towns, where we are not
familiar with such enormous trusts,
and certainly not accustomed to such
enormous salaries. Happily, the deci-
sive action of the authorities promises
to save the great corporation from In
nvitable ruin, which an uninterrupted
continuance of reckless and extravaSant
administration must have brought upon
it.
The incident ought also to prove Of
advantage to all OF the financial insti-
tutions of the State, for il must remind
all that sound and economical admins

Beck Talks of "Moneyphobia."

Mr.. Sabin was followed by former At

address was entitled "Moneyphobia
He said in part:
Tho signs Of the times indicate a
growing feeling OF social discomfort.
which finds its chief expression in the
indiseriminate abuse or wealth. Apart
from the base passion Of class hatred
there is now in progress searching in
quiry in the gerat court OF public opin-
ion as TO the ethical significance of
money making. The presses are groan,
ing under the weight OF books and
periodicals whose chief purpose is to
discuss the ethics Of the dollar.

a new crusade against property. one

..Primar.ly-at least among the con-
scientious critics Of the tines-the pres
ent discomfort io due TO a profound dis
satisfaction with the code Of commercial
morals Abuses of trust have run riot.
They are not as l believe due TO the
fact that men are ESSENTIALLY less honest
than previous generations, but in part
to the intoxication that inevitably mark
ed the most rapid and extraordinary pc
r.od of commercial expansion that the
world has ever known, and also to the
artificial character Of our commercial
machinery. The complex subdivision of
social office has caused a certain diffu-
sion, and. therefore, weakening of mo-
ton of the iaw-the corporation-with
the legal fiction that it Is a moral per-
sonality. has been a pandora box, -
from which infinite good and evil has
proceeded.
A corporation Wit hmany thousand
stockholders does an act, which benefits
itself while injuring the public, but the
sense of Individual responsibility Of each
stockholder for the wrong done because
bic existence, while it's officers, who
in whole or part or directly responsible,
are too apt to feel that as trustzNs for
the stockholders they must subordinate
their personal views of what is right
or wrong to the welfare Of the corpora

THE entire edfice of the commercial
world rests upon fair dealing. The true
capital of the banker is confidence His
nominal capital is a mere concession
