I Expert Accountants Secured for the
 Task--Watchers to be Present to I Challenge Votes--Scrugham of Pol 1 icyh0lders' Committee Says Adminis-
 tration Claim of 130,O0O to 1JO,0oO k 1 Ridiculous.
 New York, Dec. 19.-The task of counting 7S5OOO votes cast at the elec- tions for trustees held yesterday by
 the New York and Mutual Life Insur- ance companies will begin probably early next week.
 The board of inspectors of each com pany has secured the services of ex- Eert accountants who will have charge of the counting and tabulating of the votes. Separate accounting firms have been employed by the two companies. Before the actual work begins repre- sentatives of each of these firms will consult together with view of per fecting a system for canvassing the votaa.
 To-day conference was held be- tween a representative of the New York Life and George scrugham of the international Iolicyholders committee at which the system of canvassing the votes of the New York Life was con- sidered. This plan formulated will be laid before the inspectors of that com- pany on Friday.
 The five inspectons of the New York Life conferred to-day with the repre- sentatives of the administration tick ct and the international committee ticket for the purpose of considering matters relating to the canvassing of the votes. Nothing definite was done.
 The inspectors of the Mutual Life also met to-day and conferred with a representative of the accountants em- ployed by the company. The plan of counting the ballots was talked over. Tomorrow representatives of the three tickets voted will consult with the inspectors of the Mutual.
 When the count begins both sides will have regularly commissioned watchers present and ballots and prox- ies which are considered fraudulent or ,rrin I>r 1,,I, al,
 The result of the elections still seem to be in doubt. Both the -administra- ton forces and the international poli- cyholders committee are confident ly declaring that they have been vic torious in the two companies. The of- ficers of the New York Life have not reduced their estimate of a victory for the present management by a plurality of 150,0OO, and the administration of the Mutual estimates its plurality at 150, 900. The International policyhold- CTS committee, however still lay claim to having carried the Mutuals cleo ton by from 7,5OO to 19,OOO votes and the New York Life by from 5000 to F, ,O00.
 The result of the election in both companies hinges upon the proportion of votes for the opposition tickets in the sealed ballots, which have been in the custody of the insurance depart ment representatives.
 George R, Schrugham of the interna- tional p]licyholders' committee, said to-day that 1t is ridiculous for the of fcers of the mutual and New York Life to say that the administration tickets have been elected by 100000 to 10000 ballots. He declared that it was n mere guess on his part that a large percentage of the sealed ballots turn ed in by officers of the two companies were for the united committees candf- dates,

Local Bankers Reasonable.

One OF the phases OF the money situa-
ton IN this city which excites cOnsid-
cradle favorable comment Is that al
though most OF the banks here have
raised the rate OF interest TO per cent,
there are several which have not ad-
vanced II above per cent And they ex-
plain this by saying that the stringency
OF money Is only temporary, and that
they do not consider II just the proper
thing to make the broker pay more.
Some argue that If the New York bank
ers have money TO loan at . per cent
they must also have II to loan at g. Ger
tainly the manner in which money rates
have been maintained here since autumn
has been 10 the advantage OF the banks.
as shown by the figures disclosed by the
call OF the Comptroller OF the Currency,
which reveal large increases IN the earn
ings OF almost sn those institutSns- AS
the loans In the banks OF this city are
generally free from securities OF a spec
ulative character, the necessity for a
shifting scale OF interest charge IS not
so important as at other centers.

Appreciated by It's Friends.

The wonderful increase in the price
obtained in the recent sales of the stock
of the Home Savings Bank and the fur
ther fact that not more than a half
dozen lots have come upon the market
since II was listed in the summer of 1903
have given rise to some inquiry as to
the reason for the rapid advances and
the very limited amount OF stock offered
for sale even at prices that would seem
to be so attractive.
Although the bank was established in
1892 the capital, which was but $50, 600.
prevented listing on the exchange as it
was not equal to the requirements OF the
rule naming $4,000 as the minimum
amount. In June. 1903, the capital was
doubled by the issue of SO, 900 additional
stock at $50 per share and application
made to the Stock Exchange for listing.
At the time II was stated the deposits
were not quite half a million dollars.
Later IN the year the handsome new
building at the corner OF Seventh street,
New York avenue and K street, erected
for its use. was taken possession of and
Immediately the wisdom OF the move
was shown in the rapidly increasing
business until at the present time the
deposits have reached the magnificent
sum of nearly one and One-half million
dollars and are steadily increasing.
The first public transactions IN the
stock occurred in June and October OF
1904, when two small lots were sold at
145 and $50 respectively. The bank pays
a dividend Of per cent per annum and
the officers state that although the re-
turn is not large on the quoted market
price the holders OF stock embrace a
class of people who subscribed for II
originally and are well satisfied with the
return on their investment.
The establishment of two branches has
been a good move and has brought &c
the bank a large additional amount OF
patronage from very desirable class OF

Looks Like a Building Now.

Again the subject OF a building for
the Exchange is being agitated. and
with a reasonable probability that some
thing may como out Of IL. One OF the
members who has recently purchased a
valuable property in the new financial
center on Fifteenth street has offered 10
erect a handsome structure, naming il

ing" If that body will vote 10 make
use Of IT. The proposition has met
with a generous response from those to
whom It has been presented. and it looks
now as If there would be something
doing In that line.
In the public press just one year ago
il was stated that an executive meeting
had been held TO take up the subject OF
a new building. and after some discus
sion the matter had been referred to a
committee That committee Will now
have an opportunity to get busy.

Merit Rewarded.

The feeling that faithful employees
should be rewarded by promotion when
opportunity offered was strongly ex-
en- plified during the past week when it
came 10 fill the vacancy In the cashier
ship OF the Traders National Bank,
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Athey
from That position. Next in line was J.
FendaTi Cain, who had been connected
with the Institution since 1898. occupy
ing the positions OF paying teller and
assistant cashier during that time. TO
the entire satisfaction of the president
and mis- associates Gn the board. What
more natural then, that when an Open
ing was made the board of directors
should promptly decide to show their
appreciation by calling Mr.. Cain to the
higher and more responsible position.
and AZ the same time advance all the
subordinates a step along the line.
Born in this city in 1859, and educated
at the Christian Brothers School,
known as old st. Matthew Institute. on

Republic, remaining with Il until its
final liquidation in 1897. For a short
time he was connected with the Lincoln
Bank. going to his present location at
the earnest request of President Hen
ming, who recognized his abilities, and
wished 70 have the advantage of them.
With an experience Of nearly a
quarter of a century in the various
departments OF the banking business il
may well be expected that in his new
and more responsible position he will
show the same strong personality that

Does it Pay Banks to Advertise?

The question as to whether bank ad-
vertising pays has recently received
considerable discussion through the
press, and the conclusions are that such
advertising yields liberal returns In
one OF the largest Industrial cities Of
;he world the matter has been tested
TO the entire satisfaction Of the banks.
Data were produced to show that the
banks that advertised showed I'D with
rapid gains in deposits. while those that
did not advertise showed an actual loss.
1t is possible, OF course. that there were
other reasons accounting FOR these dis
crepancies, but the general consensus
Of opinion was that the banks advertis-
ing were alive TO the needs Of the COM
munity and thereby gained the business.
The columns Of The Times show that
the banks Of this city are keenly alive
10 their opportunities and the rapid
strides made by several Of those who
have used this vehicle TO keep them
selves before the public is the best evil
dence that advertising pays-banks. as
