HUNDREDS OF BANKS TO EACH MAN.

There are IS bank examiners to examine
1856 national banks. Last year these examiners
made total of Hits examinations. Anybody
will see from these figures that examiner does
not lnger long over any one bank.
What the examiner does Is to look over the
securities check up the amount of loans and dis
counts, see what proportion they bear to the cap
ital and assets, and generally to make sure that
the books of the bank do not show anything con.
trary to the national banking act The examine
ton is, In fact, more check on the officers way
of doing business than precaution against actual
dishonesty.
National banks not supposed to be ex
amined oftener than twice year. And then all
that is necessary, in most cases, is that the rec
ords may appear all right. Among the assets

sIMPLIFIED SPELLING GETS A REBUFF.

Roosevelt spelling" was up before the sU
preme court Of the United States the other day,
and in an encounter with the traditions of that
ancient body 1t did not come of the victor.
The case under consideration was that Of Dali
cour against the United States, and Solicitor Cen
eral Hoyt was engaged in presenting the govern

had occasion to refer to a long quotation in his
brief from decision of the court rendered soma
years ago by Justice Bradley, in which the word
through" was spelled thru"
Chief Justice Fuller held a copy of the brief
in his hand, and when the word was reached in

Justice Bradley's official opinion.

BANK EXAMINATIONS ARE NOT THOROUGH.

- Do bank examiners examine? Is their exam
nation worth anything? Is the public protected
against loss by their work?
Such questions as these are inevitably sug-
gested to the average man by disclosures like
those in Chicago recently, in connection with the
failure Of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank; in
connection with the Philadelphia failure, and the
Pittsburg bank thefts.
mo bank inspection will protect the public
against downright dishonesty on the part OF the
banks officers"
This may be taken as the official and final
statement Of the comptroller's office. Banking
always has been and always will be a business in
which the head Of the bank must be trusted and
trustworthy

between two officials in a bank Tor sometimes

MANY INJURED CANNOT LIVE
FRENZY OF THE UNFORTUNATE
INMATES.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-The Light
house hotel, a three-story structure on
the northeast corner of Ninth and Mar
ket streets, utilized as a Salvation
Army barracks, was damaged by fire
early today when prota bly, 800 homeless
men were lodged within it. Six lost
their lives and probably thirty-five were
injured. about half that number being
seriously injured, some not being eX-
Iected to live. Four were burned to
ceived in jumping from upper windows.
Six others of those who jumped are
lying unconscious at the City hospital
and are not expected to recover.
Burned Rapidly.
The fire started on the first floor and
swept through the old building rapidly.
Men fought at the windows to secure
the lifelines and slide to the streets,
but so great was the frenzy with which
the ropes were seized and held that they
were of little avail, and those who could
rot escape by the stairway leaped from
the windows. A large number of those
who jumped were caught in nets, but
many jumped before the nets were
stretched and were injured. There was
but one stairway and the panic-stricken

street door locked. A jam resulted and
probably greater loss of life would have
occurred had not firemen promptly
burst the door open, permitting the
frenzied men to pour out into the street.
Three months ago the Salvation Army
barracks a the corner of Eighth and
Walnut streets was completely de-
stroyed by fire and one man was killed.
Cigar or Cigarette Stub.
The Lighthouse hotel has been used
by the Salvation Army as a home for
the homeless during the past twelve
years. Steam heat and electric lights
were used. AS 10 lamps or other burn
ing lights were permitted it is now be-
lieved that the fire originated from a
lighted cigar or cigarette stub care
leSsly cast aside by one of the inmates.
Building Commissioner Smith stated
today that since March, 1905. he had
been trying to have fire escapes put on
the building. in compliance with the
law. The building is owned by the
Laura =. Hilton estate, and he said he
had been unable 10 fix the exact respon-
sibility for the failure to comply with
the law and his efforts had not been
successful.
The representative of the Hilton es-
tate insists that the duty of complying
with the fire escape law rests with the
Salvation Army.
