NEW BANKING LAWS.

On May 10Th, when the new laws 60
into effect, West Virginia viii be
abreast Of any other state in the mat
ter safeguarding the depositors and
patrons of state banking institutions
Bank Commissioner Mathews has re-
ceived numerous inquiries about the
new feature of the law and has for.
warded TO his correspondents copies
of the act printed in phamphlet form.
After May 10th it will, be unlawful
for any individual doing business in
this state to use in connection with
such business the term bank" bank
err" banking company" or trust
company until he shall have taken
cut charter and compiled with the
statutes governing banks and trust
companies.
One of the most important changes
in the law requires that at least so
per cent of the capital stock of every
banking institution organized under
the state laws shall be paid in before
it can transact business. and that the
remainder OF the capital stock shall
be paid in instruments of at least 10
per cent each, 10 per cent on the resi-
due of the capital stock each sue
ceeding three months from the time
the bank is authorized to commence
business. All banks organized under
former laws and now doing business
in the state where capital stock Is not
fully paid up are required to collect
the full amount of the subscribed capt.
tai within two years from the date
the law goes into effect.
Under the section relating to the
limit on loans it is provided that the
total liabilities of any person to a
bank or trust company shall not ex-
coed 90 per cent of the banks capital
stock. plus the surplus and undivided
profits. Eg~--r~
~TBanks are required to keep on hand
as reserve, lawful money of the
United States to the amount equal to
at least Is per cent of aggregate of
all its deposits which are subject to
withdrawal or demand.
In the event that any bank fails to
make the required reports or is found
to be in an insolvent condition by the
banking commissioner, a receiver win
be named by the banking commits
sioner, with the approval Of the gov
ernor.

GOVERNOR AND STAFF
HELD UP AT THE EXPO

Though they are called elephants
in West Virginia politics, neither Sec
rotary of State Swisher nor Hon. Ell
lott Northcott is expected to cary his
own trunk when he goes visiting. But
that is what they did. Auditor Arnold
C. Scherr didn't but he is said to have
wished he had. 1t cost the rotund A.
S. because he failed to do so. Thereby
hangs a tale. 1t may be said to either
the credit or discredit of the mem,
bers of the administration who at
tended the opening ceremonies at the
jamestown exposition that they were
not in the best of humor when they
arrived at Old Point, and the trip
across the Roads. did not add much to
their feeling of gladness.
When the aristocracy of West Vir-
ginia republicanism arrived at the ex-
position grounds, they still had their
steamer trunks and their bad tempers,
so Mr.. Scherr was not blamed much
when he kicked on not having any
soap in his room at the Inside Inn
He kicked much and long, but falling
to get the soap. he took a personally
applied massage bath and went to
bed-not, however, until he had given
real expression to his feelings.
Just after Mr. Swisher and Mr.
Northcott had taken their respective
steamer trunks from their shoulders
and sat them on the veranda of the
Inn, some man who was in Stew
asked Mr. Northcott to go over and
get his trunk. To his discredit, Mr..
Northcott failed to do as he was ask
ed. Mr.. Swsher was tired and he
also refused. If Mr.. Scherr had been
asked, there would have been a fight,
some members of the party say.
General Boggs was assigned to a
room near the roof. 1t rained that
night but the discreet general didn't
kick. for fear he would be charged
with a shower bath.
Whether it was the looks of the
party or not, that brought it about, ev-
eryone had to pay in advance, Govern
or Dawson and all, and instead Of pay
/ ing Sc, as per agreement, some OF
them We're compelled to come across

be flush at the time, and there was nc
financial embarrassment, though soE4
of them may have been a little shy
on coin before they got back. 1t is
quite likely that members Of the of
fetal party will not go back to James
town this year.

JUDGE SAUNDERS OUT
EOR GOVERNOR.

Huntington, May 1.-During the
past thirty days almost as many men
have been declared candidates for the
republican gubernatorial honors.
Some of these have denied outright
the soft impeachment, others have
maintained passive indifference.
none hitherto having made an open
confession of active candidacy Last
night, however, Huntington had the
honor of being at home to very dis
tinguished republican who plainly and
unequivocally declares that he is a
candidate, moreover, that he is can
didate to win, and that he means to
enter upon an aggressive campaign
for the nomination. This is none
other than Judge J. M. Saunders, of
WEIGH. Judge Saunders was en- route
home from Charleston, where he was
very busily engaged during the three
weeks just ended, sitting in the ca
pacity of Judge of the supreme
court of appeals. being one of the
ablest members of that distinguished
body of lawyers.
When seen at the Frederick, Judge
Saunders did not hesitate to avow his
candidacy, and gave assurance that he
was in the fight to stay to the end and
to win in the end.
Admirers of Judge Saunders started
a gubernatorial boom in his behalf
while the legislature was in session
last winter, but since that time little
had been said on the subject by the
newspapers and politicians, although
it is known that Judge Saunders has
kept in close touch with his active
friends and advisers.
1t has been declared that Judge
Saunders will resign from the bench
in order to push his candidacy and
that he will have immediate and for
midable strength throughout the state.
The statement that Judge Saunders
coptemplates retiring could not be
verified, though it is by no means I'M
likely to be an early occurrence. The
claim of strength for the popular jul
rist, however. there is no mistaking,
and he will, if he enters the fight in
earnest be a most interesting PROPOSE
ton for those who have other views
with reference to the governorship.
Judge Saunders is an intellectual
man, immensely popular, conservative
and aligned with no faction.

DERlNG CHANGES.
Leaves Office Of Secretary of State for
That of Tax Commissioner.

Charleston, w. Va, May 1.-Mr.
C. w Dering, former chief clerk in
the secretary of states office, has ac-
ceptsd an important position in the
Office of the tax commissioner. 1t is
alleged that the trouble between Mr..
Derirg and Secretary Swisner, which
resulted in Mr.. Behring'S resignation,
was resented by other state house Of
ficials and it was predicted that Mr..
Dering's valuable services would not
be long lost to the state.
His recent appointment is taken to
mean that his welfare is still a mat.
ter Of interest to Governor Dawson.
Il Is understood that Mr. behring's
duties win be to look after the col
lection Of the collateral inheritance
tax. Last year the revenue from this
source amounted to more than s26,-
900 and would have been more had
there been any provision for the en-
forcement vi the law
