Of the questionable cards are withheld
for investigation.
Prosecution Difficult.
It is stated BY officials OF the depart
ment that there have been a number OF
prosecutions since the post card craze
has been in vogue. but that IL is gen.
orally a difficult matter TO secure SUI
icient evidence upon which to base
prosecutions, as but few of those who
send such cards through the mails are
unwise enough 20 put anything on them
by which the senders thereof might be
traced.
Postal officials point out the fact that
a severe penalty Is provided for the
sending OF obnoxious matter through
the malls. Section 497 of the postal laws
and regulations states that every OBJ
scene, lewd. or laseivious book pam
phlet. picture, paper, letter. writing,
print. or other publication OF an indie
cent character. is declared to be unmail-
able
Onenses OF this character are punish
able by a fine of not more than S5,00C. or
Imprisonment at hard labor not more
than five years, or both.

WILL AID BANKS
New York Clearing House to
Assist Weak Ones.
WILL PREVENT A CRISIS

Heinze, Morse and Thomas Interests
Have Been Eliminated From All
New York Banks-AIl of Them Are
Solvent
New York. Oct. 21-The clearing
house committee announce that the
F. Augustus HeinZe, Carries w. Morse
and o. F. Thomas interests had been
eliminated from the banking organiza-
lions of New York city, and in the
light of this fact the Clearing House
Association announced its readiness
to lend all necessary aid to any OF
the banks which have been under sus-
picion, the clearing house lnVestlsa
ton having established their SOL
vency.
1t is believed that this action will
prevent any crisis in New York bank
ing circles.
William H. Havemeyer, one OF It's
directors. was elected to the presl-
dency OF the National Bank OF North
America, succeeding Alfred H. Curtis,
resigned.
It is understood that the Mercantile
National bank will undergo a process
of slow liquidation.
At a special meeting of the board
of directors of the Mercantile National
bank, Seth M. Milliken was elected
president of the bank, to succeed r.
Augustus Heinze, resigned. At the
same time William Skinner and Gerish
H. Milliken were elected additional
vice presidents, Gerish M. Milliken
being added to the board of directors.
The clearing house committee met
with the directors of the bank. and
the two boards were in session for
about four hours. Later William
Sherer, manager of the Clearing House
association. on behalf of the assocla-
ton. gave out the following state
ment:
"a committee of the clearing house
has examined the several banks of the
association that have been under crlti-
cism and find them solvent The
clearing house committee have decld-
ed to render them such assistance to
meet their deposits as the committee
may think necessary"
Neither the members of the board
of the Mercantile National nor Il e
clearing house committee would adj
to these announcements. The stat
ment of Mr.. Sherer. however. is TAX n
to mean that the clearing house com
mittee is perfectly satisfied with the
reorganization of the Mercantile M
tional and will see that the bank is
enabled to meet any crisis that the
widely published stories about i S
condition. following the collapse O.
the Heinze corner in United Copper.
may force 1t to face
While none of those connected with
the Mercantile National or the clear
ing house would discuss any phase of
the matter, it is known that it is the
belief of the clearing house commit
tee that the election of Mr.. Mi liken
al head of the bank will remove the
uneasiness in the financial district.
Charles w. Morse announced his
resignation from the directorate of
every local bank with which he was
connected.
