BANK BILLS BY COL. PEARRE
Allow Tenth Of Surplus TO Be Loaned
60 One Person and Prevent Cam
paign Gifts.

Representative Pearre, of Maryland,
introduced in the House bill to amend
Section 20 of Chapter 1O6 of the Acts
of the Thirty-eighth Congress, entitled
"An Act to Provide National Cur
rency, Secured by a Pledge of the Unit
ed States Bonds and to Provide for the
Circulation and Redemption Thereof, ;"
approved June 80, 1864.
The purpose Of this measure is to
amend the existing law so as to allow
one person, firm or company to borrow
from the national banks not only one
tenth part of the total amount of CAPT
tai of said banks, but also tenth
part of their surplus The matter was
brought to the attention of Congress-
man Pearre by number of prominent
bankers and financiers, and the general
object of the proposed legislation is in
tended to enlarge the loan capacity of
national banks without impairing their
stability, The measure, if adopted
will, it is commended, also enlarge the ca
pacity of the citizen to borrow from the
national banks.
Mr.. Pearre has also introduced an
amendment to the National Bank act of
June 80, 1864, requiring bank examiners
to make special inquiry of the officers
of national banks, under oath, as to
IUbatba,, +ba haul ,,,b;ob 80 +l,o, l,o;,,o.
examined or any of it's officials has or
have, directly or indirectly, contributed
during the past year any of the funds,
moneys, securities or evidences of debt
of the bank to any political committee
or to any person for political purposes.
The purpose Of the act is to prevent
national banks from contributing to
campaign funds, and it will, in Mr..
Pearre's opinion, reach the subject in a
direct and practical way He is of the
opinion that bank examiners have the
power to make such inquiry under the
existing law, but has learned from in
quiry of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency that questions that would develop
contributions by banks for campaign
funds are seldom asked of bank officials.
The Pearre bill will definitely require
that this be done, and thus meet strong
demand by the people of the United
States, since the insurance investiga-
ton in New York, that the money of
stockholders must not be improperly
employed in carrying on political cam
paigns. One section of the bill provides
a penalty of not less than 500 fine, or
Imprisonment for not less than one nor
more than five years, and dismissal
from Office for any bank examiner who
fails to perform his duty under the pro-
posed amendment.
The Pearre amendment also applies
the penalties of the National Banking
act to any other than national bank
who shall fail to comply with the pro-
visions of the Pearre amendment.

Narrow Escape From Serious Injury.

What might have resulted in serious
accident occurred Wednesday evening,
when Mr.. Albert Fraley and friend
were driving through Fetterman. Mr..
Fraley, one Of the successful statesmen
OF the Grafton Grocery Co., hired one
of Warthen's and Sons trusty driving
horses for the purpose of driving his
friend through the city. They made a
quick run over the railroad crossing
to escape an approaching train. When
a short distance from the crossing, the
king bolt broke, suddenly freeing the
horse from the buggy and throwing the
occupants distance of several feet to
the roadway, Fortunately neither of
the men were seriously injured. Mr..
Fraley was so stunned by the fall that
he was unable to speak for several mo
ments. The horse did not become
frightened and only walked few steps
from the scene. Mr.. Fraley's many
friends rejoice with him that he escaped
50 fortunately, but they could not re-
frain from laughing when they saw
him, covered with mud, leading his horse
through the city with one arm so heav-
lily burdened with a portion of the earth
that it hung helpless at his side. Graf

WHAT "LLoYD's" REALLY IS

in Insurance Business--Dspen-
ses Marine Information.

How many newspaper readers who
find daily references in the news dis
patches to "Lloyd's" have any clsaI
idea as to the exact nature
famous British institution?
the most of them have, a vague
preston that it is a huge mariner
surance concern, having a large md
ure of control-unofficiaI, but rel
over the shipping regulations OF TN
world. The great corporation whlc
still retains the name of its founde
of E~lizabethan days, n which has
had its headquarters in the Royal Ex-
change in London since l714, has
nothing to do as such with marine IN
surance or the taking of risks and
paying of losses, but its members
have. 1t is, in fact a great marltlmf
exchange. incorporated in recent yeafS
by parliament, and it is to the w1rld
of shipping and through its members
of marine insurance what the house
of Rothschild is to the banking world.
Aside from the fact that Lloyd's af-
fords marine insurance brokers' a place
of meeting with their clients, its
great function is the collection. publ
cation and diffusion of information
with respect to shipping. 1t is the
direct outcome of the enterprise of the
keeper of a London coffee house. Ed
ward Lloyd was brought much IN con-
tact with ~seafaring men n mer-
chants, and his foresight and enter
prise led to the development of a sys-
tenn which has become world famous.
