Tardy ear<Es to be Fined.-The work
Of abstracting the reports Of the con-
dition Of national banks, it is stated,
is delayed several days at each call
by the tardineSs of a dozen or more
banks in forwarding their reports.
Section 5211, United States Revised
Statutes, requires reports Of condition
within five days from the date of re-
ceipt by the bank of the notice of a
10 be forwarded 10 the comptroller
call, and Section 5213 provides a pen
atty OF 800 for each days delay over
the allotted time for failure to make
report. With a view 10 correcting this
tardiness the comptroller has notified
all the delinquent banks under the
last call that they are subject to the
penalty referred to, and unless some
satisfactory excuse can be furnished
for failure to promptly transmit the re-
port, the fine will be imposed and col

To Inspect Stes-Col. James p.
Low, Of the supervising architects
office, has just left to complete the in
spection of public building sites offer
ed the government in several cities OF
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Col.
Low had expected 10 do this on his re-
cent trip to New England, but was

other New England cities provided for

cept Boston, Pittsfeld and North Ad-
ans. Special Agent Field is expected
to return from the last two places soon
and report upon sites there.
A Unique Figure Dead.-Col. Isaac
r. Hill, for many years connected in
some Official capacity with the house
of representatives, died recently of
heart and kidney trouble. Col. Hill
had been known to every member of
congress for a generation as Ike Hill
of Ohio" Away back in the 70's he
came TO Washington as dOorkeeper in
the house. Gradually he became a
fixture in the house. No matter which
party was in power, Ike remained on
the payroll When the Democrats were
in power Ike had a job as assistant
dCorkoeper When the Republicans
were in charge Ike Hill was the
Democratic whip. He has seen speak
er after speaker come and go, and
nearly every speaker under whom he
served is dead. Gen. Keifer is the
Oldest eX-sucaker living and Ike Hill
served under him 2S years ago Later
he served under Carlisle, and years
before he served under Blaine.
Moody Relentless-The antitrust
activities of the administration are 10
be renewed Immediately. The assis-
tant to the attorney general Milton
ID. Purdy, to whom the work of trust
busting" is especially assigned, has re-
turned from a European vacation.
Only Gen. Moodys final word is now
awaited as to how, where and when
several new actions shall be brought.
Special Attorneys Frank b. Kellogg
and Charles B. Morrison, whom Mr..
Moody selected early in the summer
to examine evidence against the STAN
dard Oil company, have been very en-
ergetic. They have sifted and sys-
tematized lot of material, calculated
TO help in prosecutions under the Ell
kins law, for which several indict-
ments have already been returned,
but especially 10 help in actions TO be
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law. Ii is the latter class Of cases
which Mr.. Moody will take mp at once.

in its attitude toward the Standard
Oil company. It hopes 10 dissolve the
combination of corporations bF which
the prices of oil have been maintain
ed. Numerous other trust suits viii
he pressed, but at present the stan
dard Oil suits will monopolize much
of the departments attention.
A New Citrange.-Durins the course
of their Investigations in the last
fruit season. the experts of the Bureau
of Plant Industry developed new cit
range. or hardy orange, two new lines
and five new pineapples. Ii is clearly
impossible or at l~st impracticable
for the department TO test these plants
commercially, and il is possible that
some Of these new varieties may prove
disappointing. The department. there

inc ppw varieties extensively until
