DR.. Forbes Winslow, the great Eng.

Pile on this earth. The question natu-

relative. All people are only approx

HUNDREDS Of BANKS TO EACH MAN.

There are IS bank examiners to examine
1866 national banks. Last year these examiners
made a total of 11,716 examinations. Anybody
will see from these figures that an examiner does
not linger 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-
ton is, in fact more check on the officers way
of doing business than precaution against actual
dishonesty.
National banks are not supposed to be ex-
amined oftener than twice year. And tlfen all
that Is necessary, in most cases, Is that the rec

ancient body it did not come off 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
ment's side. In the course Of his argument he
had occasion to refer to long quotation in his
brief from a decision of the court rendered some
years ago by Justice Bradley, in which the word
through spelled thru.
Chief Justice Fuller held a copy of the brief
in his hand, and when the word was reached in
terrupted Mr. Hoyt with question to whether
the extract intended to be quotation from
Justice Bradleys official opinion.

This is in accordance with an order
issued by George B. Cortelyou, post

special rules to be observed at the post

which must be followed by those aHlict-
ed with the disease. Where there is
question as to whether or not an EN-
ployee is afflicted with tuberculosis, the
order demands that such person shall
present himself at the nearest govern
ment laboratory and undergo an ex-
animation.
The new regulations call for, first, an
inspection of the federal building with
a report as to whether unsanitary
conditions exist and if they do, whether
structural changes are necessary before
the faults can be remedied. Splitting

DR.. PINAULT's ABSENCE MAY
MAKE CONVICTION DIFFICULT.

nue., the detectives, who had charge Of
the case, say they may have some diff

DR.. Pinault left Minneapolis last
week and did not tell the police when
he would return or that he would return
at all. He intimated that he was 60
ing to New York, but Superintendent
Doyle of the police department has
received no word from there about him
and it is thought that. he. is at his
home in Pass Christian, Miss.
The entire responsibility Of the cQse
seems to rest with the police, and they
fear that DR.. Pinault will not appear
against Wainwright. In that case
Wainwright could plead not guilty and
much of the strongest testimony, would
have to be omitted Wainwright, how
ever, still tells the detectives that he
will admit the whole thing and ask for
short term. He doesn't appear to
mind the confinement, but says he is
anxious to begin serving his sentence.
