Banks Get
A Warning
THE WEST VIRGINIA NATIONAL
BANKS GET LETTER FROM
COMPTROLLER OF CUR
RENCY.

West Virginia National banks have
received a letter of warning from
Comptroller of the Currency Rilecl.s
calling attention to the fact that the
law recently passed by Congress per-
mitting National hanks to loan ten
per cent. OF the capital and unfmpatr-
ed surplus OF one borrower, does not
include undivided profits as part o.
the surplus. In his letter Comptroller
Ridgely says:
%Undivided profits cannot be cor
sidered in this connection until car
ried to surplus account on the books
of the bank, under. authority OF the
board of directors" /"
The comptroller further says:
"The National bank officials
are admonfshed that all excessive
loans must ,be collected or reduced tc
the limit at the earliest possible dats
and that it will be the policy of this
office to enforce the law by requiring
every bank, without exception, to
keep its loans, and discounts within
the statutory. When he urged the new
LEGISLATION upon Congress Comptroller
Rideely explained that he had found
is Impossible to enforce the limit OF
loans to ten per cent. OF the capital
alone. but he promised that IL the
proposed legislation were enacted he
would enforce 1t strictly. A loan in
excess of the limit is not treated as
an act of insolvency, but as viola-
.tion of the letter of the banking act,
the penalty of which Is forfeiture o.
the banks charter.
The letter is not peculiar to West
Virginia but is in one sent to all the
National banks in the country.

WHEELING, July 1S-Three faces
covered with handkerchiefs in which
holes had been cut and with drawn re.
volvers in their hands; two men en-
tered the saloon of Henry Kraft, In
North Bellaire, shortly before mid
night and covering the proprietor and
his bartender. Eteves, better known
as Mike Maxson, ordered them to
throw up their hands. Before the two
men in the saloon could comply with
the request of the robbers the latter
opened fire, each Of them shooting
once, the bullets finding lodgment, one
in the bartender aud the other in the
proprietor OF the saloon.
After shooting, the two robbers did
not stop to get the cash drawer which
they had demanded from the two men
in the saloon, but becoming scared,
and expecting that the whole neigh
borhood would be aroused by the
sound of the shooting, rushed out of
the saloon and toward the street car
tracks. At about this time one of the
late cars coming from Bellaire to the
barn was passing and it IS believed
the two desperadoeB boarded the car
and came in this direction.

the injuries of Kraft and Maxson were
temporarily looked after. Later the
injured men were removed to the
Boone hospital at BelIaire where they
were attended by Drs. Boone and
Heath, who reported at a late hour
this morning that the injuries Of
Kraft were such that they did not
expect him to live many hours. The
injuries to the bartender did not APP

hope expressed that he would be

a dramatic story of the killing. She

gun and shot without taking aim He
fell and l went into the house.
There has been much evidence that
Deever had threatened Mrs. White:
mans life repeatedly and had de-
fed her warnings not to come on the
property. There was also testimony
to show that his intentions toward
Alice Whiteman were not honorable
and that Mrs. Whiteman knew 1t. Her
husband has been advised by the pros
ecuting attorney that he had right
to protect his home and property. An
acquittal is expected.

A FAIR EXCHANGE,

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
joy the confidence Of the public
and command class Of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat OF
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with q noise like
the blowing Of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers Of
