NEW BANKS SHOW CITY IN EXCEL
 LENT CONDITION.
Victor M. Hanson Of The Advertiser Accounts Some Of The Adance- ment Of Montgomery To The
 Atlanta Georgian.

Montgomery is going ahead and es- tablishing new banks in spite of Wall street troubles" said Victor H. Han son, of The Montgomery Advertiser. who Is in Atlanta Monday. according to The Atlanta Georgia. Her new est bank was opened this morning. with a capital stock of saoo,ooo. and a sur plus of s30.0o0.
 "An Atiantan, c. A. wickersham. presndent of the A. & W. F.. is one director of the new Alabama bank and Trust Company. which was thrown open for business this morning: Its president Is J. L. Hall, leading finan- cier. w. F. vandiver, a foremost citi- zen, Is the first vice president. The directors and officials are drawn from the best people in Montgomery"
 MT. Hanson Is advertising manager for The Montgomery Advertiser, and is on his way to Augusta to attend a director of the Fourth National Bank in Montgomery. In Atlanta he spoke of Montgomery's growth and the activity there in financial and building circles. His statements showed that Montgomery, always most conservative among Southern cities, is forging ahead and that the financial disturbances are not worrying that city.
 Take the past eighteen months" he continued: "See how things have grown. In March, 1906, the Montgom- cry Bank and Trust Company was or ganized with capital of s25o,o0o. and is doing well. In December the new Farley National Bank was organ ized with S200,000 capital and $20,000 surplus. It is in splenidd shape. In July, 1906. the Exchange National Bank was organized with a capital of $300,- 900 and surplus of $75.00o. It is pro- gressing splendid1y. The First Na- oxH ha os o,.A 0lo nfa us Ne tional have consolidated with a capital increased to s1.000,000 and a surplus of $250,000. July, 1906, the Fourth Ma tional increased its stock from $300.000 to s500,0o0. and now has a sudplus of $275 900.
 This shows a million and a quar- ter of new bank stock in the year, nearly all paid for by Montgomery people. and this is in the face of the threading conditions. A point worth remarking, too. is that these banks have four times the reserve of fifteen per cent required by the national bank ing laws.
 "Bniiding conditions are as good in Montgomery as is the financial situa- ton. The First National has just moved into it's magnificent new twelve story office building. The new Gay Teague Hotel ten stories high. is be- ing erected. The N. J. Bell off1ce build | Ing, tWeIVe storleS, is unuer way. Tne new Fair building, with 100 feet front | and 200 feet depth, and four stories, | is under way and will be a big depart l ment store. t.tbE
 "The bank deposits have increased | during the past week instead of de- | creasing. The Montgomery clearing | house issued s400.o00 of certificates last "Wednesday, and they are being ac- cepted readily. Oh, Montgomery has no cause for complaint. She is pros- porous and happy"

WOULD CURB TRUST
EFFORTS TO REGULATE PAPER
 MANUFACTHRIEs.
President Roosevelt Promises the COn- mittee of Publishers that He
 Will Make Recommenda-
 tfons to the Congress.

Washington, Nov. 7-President Roosevelt today indicated to members of the Committee on Paper of the Amer ican= Newspapers Publishers -Associa- tion. that he will recommend to Con- kress the abolition of the tariff on prese paper:3 also that he will make Recommendations to the Department of Justice that it take immediate steps to ascertain whether the antitrust laws are being disobeyed by the manu- lecturers of paper.
 The promise of the recommendations by the President was obtained after he had heard the representations of the members of the committee and a petition from the national organization of printers, stereotypers, pressmen and others, all of which set forth the evil dence of a combination on the part of the manufacturers of paper for the purpose of controlling the output, reg ulating and greatly increasing the price or otherwise making regulations governing the source 0f supply ana delivery of paper.
 The call upon the President was made in pursuance of the following resolution adopted by the American Newspaper Publishers Association at a special meeting held in New York, Sep- tember 19:
 Tn view of information submitted to the American Newspaper Publishers Association by its Committee on Pa- per, indicating that unlawful combina- tions of paper makers had been accom- plished and that judicial prohibition of such efforts has been disobeyed, the American Newspaper Publishers Asso- citation hereby instructs its Committee on Paped to invite the attention of the President and Department of Justice to this movement which we regard as conspiracies in restraint of trade, and we give this instruction to the com mittee in order:
 "First-That the authority of exist ing statutes for repression of trade combinations may be invoked.
 "Second-That the defiance of recent judicial action prohibiting participa- tion in such combination by certain Western mills may be punished. "Third-That the President may be put into possession of information which shall equip him to notify Con- gross of the abuse of tariff favors by paper makers. Resolved. That it is the sense Of this meeting that the duty on papers. wood pulp and all material entering | the manufacture of printing paper should be immediately repealed"

Asylum Burns and Crazy Persons Hide

Chicago. Nov. lone hundred and fifty inmates of tho Kane County aims house near Batavia. most of them in sane. were driven in panic from the main building of the institution last night by fire.
 Many of the insane patients escaped while the attendants were fighting the fire. scattering about the County and hiding in the fields, in barns and the cellars of houses.
 The reports of the escape of the i'm sane patients. many of whom were re- garded as dangerous, spread about the country and after the fire had been eX- tinguished posses were formed to hunt for and return the fugitives to the asylum. The hunt continued until late last night. All who had escaped with the exception of one woman, were captured The missing woman is be- lieved to have set fire to the building in order to escape.
 Aid was asked from Batavia and Ge- ueva, both about two miles distant from the asylum, and the fire depart ments of these towns responded. The

DISCREDITS REPORTS
MINISTER HAYAsHI BREAKS JA-
 PANS LONG SILENCE.
Says Situation With United states is Miarepresented and is Positive That Immigration Question
 win be Settled Amicably.

ToIxio. Nov. 7.-The official silence so long consistently maintained by Japan on the subject of the United States and Japan in connection with the per- sistsnt reports of friction. was broken today by an Associated Press inter- view with Minister of Foreign Affairs Hayashi.
 He prefaced his statement by express ing the hope that sincere pronounce ment by the Foreign Minister of Japan and it's publication through the Asso- y.4isrenresentation and finally result in discrediting those who are constantly circulating harmful reports. He spoke moi only as a Foreign Minister. but as representing the sentiment of the en- tire Cabinet and the public. Minister Hayashi then said that the relations between Japan and America were as smooth and cordial as ever. and the cause of civilization as we'll as commit nity of interest demanded lasting peace and friendship.
 That full weight may be given the interview, it is proper to state that 1t was granted by the Foreign Minister only after lengthy consideration or the propriety of an official statement at this IlT1es 11AS QAOhOAhScANOttS wa f7rra the views expressed to the As- sociated Press on every hand by poli- ticians, newspaper men and others.
 Minister Hayashi admitted that the immigration question was the most se- rotus matter and was uppermost Tn the nubIic minds, but he was positive that if would be settled without friction. Already 1t practically has been decid- ed. The Japanese Government pro- poses to control immigration in such a manner as to benefit Japan and at tbe same time conform to the wishes of the American Government. and is taking active steps in this direction.
 The Foreign Minister says that Ja- pan will be able to solve the question in this manner. it requiring only the natience of the peoples of both coun- tres. One thing certain is that the Japan Government is not soi1 itous for Immigration of it's people into any country.

The Powder Trust Gathers Millions

Protected by a Tariff II Grows opu-
> lent off Federal Patronage--Its
Latest Conspiracy Described.

New York, Jan. 5.-The powder
J trust, protected by prohibitive tariff
and rolling up millions in profit in
| its supply to the United States gov.
ernment alone, will on January 9 en-
ploy every possible means to gain
control Of the National Rifle asso-
ciation and If successful can dictate
the character of the ammunition for
every state military organization in
the union. The occasion will be the
election OF president of the associa-
ton, to be held in the Seventy-first
regiment armory.
Gen. Bird w. Spencer Of Passaic,
general inspector of rifle practice in
the state of New Jersey and the In.
cumbent, is candidate for re-elec-
ton. James A. Drain, of Olympia,
Wash, his opponent is TIC candidate
CT tte trust.
Spencer's election meaus the throt-
Ting of what has been pronounced by
an Independent powder manufacturer
to be an infamous conspiracy which
makes commerce of patriotism and
sells its product abroad for its sole
profit.
From July l, 1906, to July l, 1906,
the trust sold to the government, S.
947,S2O pounds Of smokeless ordnance
powder. The cost of manufacture at
the mill was 80 cents a pound. The
price charged to the government was
70 cents a pound, so in that one item
alone the Approximate profit was 3S
cents a pound. Deducting freight
charges, this aggregated $2,215,562.95.
Three hundred thousand pounds of
powder for 80 calibre weapons were
produced at a net cost of A cents
a pound and sold at S41a cents; 20
900 blank fire cartridges, costing Al |
cents at 92 20 cents, and 1860 pounds |
for the 3S calibre, costing SO cents,
at "a IL cents.
The total profit, approximately
footed up s2,34S,364 which is greater
than any profit ever derived by any
seller Of any product or staple sold
In one year to the government in the
history of the republic, and the mo-
lopoly carrying on this business was
1t the same time contracting with
oreign nations to furnish ammunition
With which they could attack Amer
can merchantmen on the high seas.
