SAW CONGRESSMAN TAKE MONEY

The Hon. Warren f. Daniel. the
.wealthiest man in the vicinity of Frank
lin. \. H. is exceedingly democratic in
manner. according 10 the Boston Her
aid. Some years ago he represented
this district in Congress.
one day as Congressman Daniel was
standing ih one of the corridors Of the
Capitol a New York millionaire, think
ing he was an attache OF the building,
asked in rather a brusque manner 10
be directed 10 the room of well-known
House leader.
Congressman Daniel conducted him
tu the place desired. and as ne was
leaving the New York millionaire
pressed a 25-cent piece in to his hand.
Mr.. Daniel noticed that a newspaper
man had witnessed the transaction. and,
sliding over toward him, said: Don't
give this away: that IS the first money
I have we're earned since / have been In
Congress"
The next day the millionaire was in
the visitors gallery and saw Daniel oc-
cupyins a scat in the House. After
the session he hunted Mr.. Daniel out.
and the two took supper together at the
New York mans expense.

BANK EXCHANGES EFFECTED
BY COMING ELECTION

g, ,6z3, OH 979. n loss OF 3.5 per cent COM
pareo with last year. and % per cent
compared with the corresponding week
OF 1904 but the loss is mainly at New
York city. and in part is due 10 smaller
transactions in the stock market this
year than IN either of the two preceding
years with which comparison is made;
also in part due TO the fact that the
week this year includes only one day In
November against two days in the cor
responding week of last year and three
days in 1894, and settlements falling due
the first Of each month always Increase
bank exchanges during the first three
days of the month 10 the disadvantage
OF this years figures at all cities. There
are some small losses at cities outside

cities show an increase Of 2.7 per cent

Handsome Bank Booklet.

The American Security and Trust
Company has just issued one OF ths
most elegant little booklets that has
been seen in this city. II is descriptive
of the institution and under various
headings describes the functions Of
trust companies. the banking depart
ment. trust department. safe deposit
vaults, the manner Of investments, and
the method OF making loans on real es-
tate and collateral securities
The cover shows a handsome view Of
the exterior Of the banking house, while
through the book are shown equally
handsome pictures OF the interior, ac-
cOmpanied by descriptive material OF
an unusually high order Of excellence.
Regarding the site the statement Is
made that the new banking house of
the American Security AMI Trust Com
pany is built on ground OF considerable
historic interest. As far as can be as
certained this particular SITE has had
no associations that are not financial
since the first building was erected on
1t In 1923. This first structure was one
built hy the United States Bank during
the Presidency OF James Monroe), for
the use of its branch In this city IN
1s45 the property was sold to the firm
OF COrcOran & Riggs. who established
there a private banking house, which
became famous in the financial history
OF the time"
In describing the Functions Of Trust
Companies" the publication states that
the trust company is a bank and much
more. IL il the trusted and Confiden-
tial agent In all forms Of business and
relations OF life where an individual
cannot or does not wish TO act for him
self"
The statement : further made in an
other section that this building has
been called the finest banking house
in the United States. Certainly it can
have few superiors in respect to COM
pleteness and convenience of equip
ment"
1t is claimed that ''the capital and
surplus of S4,6OOO OOO and the stockhold-
ers' liability of 50, 600, 600 In addition. pro-
vide an absolute guarantee of the safe
~ OF funds deposited with it,"
The book is intended for general cir
culation, and represents the advanced
idea of furnishing the most artistic ef-
forts of the printer and engraver to hold
the attention of the reader.

The Philadelphia Ledger says:
Congressman ]. Van Vechten Olcott
tells a story of "A member of the House
from Missouri whose economical habits

district. some of his fellow members

JERMAN'S SUCCESS
WITH FARM LANDS
Seasons Sales and Trans
ferS Passed Hundred
Mark Saturday.

John F. Jerman. the Fairfax. Va.
real estate broker, has just rounded out
a notable season Of suburban and coun-
try realty transactions. his record up
TO Saturday having passed the 100 mark
in the sale and transfer of some Of the
most desirable farm property IN the
Old Dominion. Mr.. Jerman. who is rs-
garded as one OF the most experienced
and capable realty operators IN the
State OF Virginia. during this time has
handled property Of all descriptions.
from farms worth less than Sl,000 10
country estates running into high fig
ures One OF his most notable OF his
recent deals was the sale OF the estate
OF Egberth Thompson. at Belmont. Va .
10 Colonel Smith, a wealthy New York
er. The estate, which Is considered one
OF the beauty spots OF the section in
which il is located. comprises 296 acres
Of remarkably fertile land. II sold for
$40 80.
Perhaps no real estate operator In the
vicinity OF Washington is better ac-
quainted with country land values than
Mr. Jerman. This may be said TO be
especially so regarding property IN the
neighborhood OF Fa.-fax and Vienna,
Falls Church. and Virginia suburbs ad-
jacent 20 this city.
Mr., Jerman prides himself on the fact
that he gives his business transactions
his personal attention. preferring not tC
trust a client 10 the hands Of some in
experienced person, To DO this properly
he provides his own carriage in which
TO convey his clients over the country
when engaged in an inspection Of q
property.
Mr. herman has within the last yea,
received many testimonials from buyers
who have expressed entire satisfaction
not only with the fairness of his deal,
I ings. but also with the delights and
{ general healthfulness of the climatic
conditions throughout the Old Dominion

called he failed to respond promptly
with his bid. II was not until several
trades had been made that he suddenly
aroused himself only to find that he had

and il continued throughout the call
and was said TO have extended even 10

fOrcibly became his guests.

Stock Exchange RetOrt Courteous.

The retort courteous was in evidence
yesterday at the close OF the call of the
Washington Stock Exchange and was
hugely enjoyed by all the members.
The victim Of the joke took il good na-
turedly as he always does.
Secretary Hume was busy giving out
cards OF invitation 10 the anniversary
celebration on Tuesday night. The daily
press had been remembered and appl-
cation had also been made by a repre-
sentative Of the Financial Review. The
particular member who on several oc-
casions had published an excellent
weekly letter. presented his claim that
he wanted one ticket. He was quickly
silenced by President Hibbs. who stated
with much JUNCTION that you will get
six months for that letter" The joke
was promptly appreciated and by no
one more than the victim e il.
