80 MORE BUILDING LOAN
ASSOCIATIONS ORGANIZED
All the Nationals" Forced Out of Business and the
Locals" Have Been Gradually Taking
Possession of the Field

total of 81, 1909 is but 200 per cent. of
the whole gross assets, and nearly one
half of the amount is reported as sold
under contract. II foreclosures dur
ing the year were fifty-one In number,
or ~thirty-three less than the year be-
fore.
The dues or subscriptions on out
standing shares are reported at $5O,f64,-
249. This Is an Increase of $4,13S, 312.
The profits, apportioned n unappor-
toned, amount to $1l, IA, ZIG, which is an
increase of 1897 1871. The total net as
sets or net worth of the associations is
obtained by adding the stock dues or
subscriptions to the accumulated
profits, which gives $62. sos, 467.
In 36l, or 81 per cent, Of the insti-
tutions shares are issued in series,

scheme; thirty-three are conducted
upon the perpetual or permanent
plan, and is a terminating or one

premium bid is deducted from the
amount of the loan and the balance
advanced TO the borrower, the prem

paid until the shares pledged are

words, have matured; 173, or Al per
cent. collect the premium in INSTALL
ments; eight have both plans, and in

The amount of prepaid or paid-up
shares outstanding shows an increase
Of S461, 404, or nearly 30 per cent. for
the year. the aggregate being $685.
276. The issuance of this kind of
stock has never been regarded with
favor by the great majority of local
associations. although it has always
been a feature of the State and ma
tional' concerns. IL appears, however,
to have recently become popular
among some Of the local societies in
the larger cities.
THE subscribers 10 sllch shares pay
the full par value thereof in advance
and receive a fixed rate of interest, in
stead OF sharing equally with the in
stallment shareholders in the total
profits earned. BY means of such pay
ment the association is placed In imme-
date possession of funds for making
loans, which otherwise would have to
be accumulated gradually from the in
stallment dues. The scheme has its
limitations, however, and, 10 O~verdone,
may cause embarrassment to an asso-
citation, as would result Ia ease any
large number of shares noticed for
withdrawal at one time, thereby neces-
stating heavy cash payments: The

TRENTON, Nov. 29.-According to
the annual report of State Banking and
Insurance Commissioners David O. Wat
kins, on the subject of building and
loan association, the total number
in operation on October 81 was 461, an
increase for the year of thirty-threc.
In the last year forty-two associations
have been incorporated and nine have
discontinued business.
In the report Commissioner Watkins
states that with the winding up of the
affairs of the State Mutual Building
and Loan Association of Camden. there
remains but one of the state institu-
tons in New Jersey. All of the ma
tional" associations have been forced
out of business, and the local associa-
tions have been gradually securing the
field to themselves. Commenting on the
Camden association, the report says.
This institution was the oldest and
largest Of the class known as State
which differ from the regular or
local associations In that the business
is conducted at a much greater ex-
pense. Agents are employed to solicit
members, branch offices are maintained
and loans are made throughout the
State instead of being confined to par
ticular localities. The elimination of
LAAAE dEEg9AhAAOAA 49, ~
survivor of the kind In the State, and
that that one is still In existence Is
mainly due to the changes in its meth
DDS necessitated by the building loan
law of 1903.
''The history Of this class of building
and loan associations is one of failure
and disappointment and loss to their
members, and it is a matter for con-
graduation that the restrictions and
limitations are such as to preclude the
organization of any more of them
Concerning the general condition of all
the associations now In existence, Commits
sioner Watkins says:

tions Indicate prosperous conditions.
There was q gain in number of mem
bers of 12,668, the total now being 49,

the preceding year by 2.646. The Dor

NEGRO SHOT
AFTER CAFE
QUARREL
Liebling, Charged With
Crime, Says It Was
Accident tai.

In the saloon of Lewis Liebling, of
1873 Broome street, late last night,
Thomas johnson. 20 years old, a negro,
of III Broome street, was shot in the
left thigh, below the groin, by the pro-
prietor, after a wordy quarrel.
The shot was heard by Deputy Sheriff
Richard Herman, who hurried to the
place. He found Johnson seated on a
chair and in agony, and Liebling stand
ing in an excited manner behind the
bar. Herman commanded those in the
place to remain and then telephoned to
Sergeant Suchard, of the Fourth Pre-
cinct police station.
In the meantime Policeman Mcguire
arrived. and he was followed by
Roundsman Frey and Policeman
Kenny. LiebIing and four negroes in
the place were taken into custody, ahd
johnson was hurried to the City Hos
pital. His injury is not serious.
Liebling claims that Johnson n
several others entered his place about
midnight and bought a number OF
drinks, and later denied h a they
owed the amount charged against
them. An argument followed, and
Ijebling claims johnson drew a knife
and he drew his revolver. He says
that the trigger snapped accidentally
and the bullet struck Johnson.
Judge Herr fixed Liebling's bail at
$500.
Former Sheriff William G. Nicol rep
resented the s~aloonkeeper.
The witnesses were paroled. All said
h a they lived in his city for long
periods, and promised that they would
be ready at any time to go on the
stand as witnesses. One of the wit
nesses, Thomas Arnold, IS years old,
of 165 Broome street, when his
occupation by the court answered, I'm
a boss laundryman.
How many have you got working
for your asked the court.
Jest me and my wife.

COMPETITORS IN CHINESE
TRADE BESTED BY JAPS.
Now Planning to outdistance United
States in Struggle for Commerce
of Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2s.-That
Japan is not only planning to outdis-
lance the United States in the struggle
for the commerce of the Pacific, but
has already driven the steamship lines
of every other nation out of the Chi
nese trade is the statement of Harry l..
Paddock. United States Consul at Annoy,
China. Mr.. Paddock arrived here yes
terday on the Pacific Mail steamship
Korea on his a to Washington.
The Japanese have captured the en-
tire oce~an-carrying trade of China
from Hong Kong to Shanghai" he said.
THE British lines. which some years
ago monopolized this business, are do
ing nothing. The same is true of the
German lines. All have succumbed to
the competition of the japanese, aided
by their large subsidies and the low
pay of their crews"

COMMITTEE GOES BROKE.
School Repair Fund administrations
Gil Cut Down Sum Requested.

The $1,000 extra appropriation allowed
the repairs committee of the Board Of
Education by the finance committee of the
Common Council is exhausted, according
to the report made at the regular monthly
meeting Of the committee Wednesday
night, the last regular meeting of the
committee prior to the meeting of the
board tonight.
Some time ago Commissioners J. Edward
Smith, chairman of the committee, went
before the Common Council finance COM
mittee and asked for additional funds to
carry on the work Of repairs In the schools,
and was allowed the $1,000, with the invi-
tation to come for $4,000 more If the com
mittee needed 1t. Chairman Smith de-
clared that, while he regretted the fact that
the usefulness of the committee was at an
end, he would have to refuse to go before
the finance committee for additional funds.
So for the remainder of the term of office
of the committee 1t will be ornamental.

NO SALOON FOR
UNION PARK

There will be no saloon in Union
park. as projected by j. Kronen-
berg, If the citizens of that section
of the city have anything to say
about it. Kronenberg's application
for a liquor license at E1508
Sprague av., resulted in protest
mass meeting at the M. e. church
last night and the organization OF
the objecters for the purpose of de-
feating the saloon promoters de-
signs on the sobriety Of the COM
munity.
Rev. M. R. Brown is the leading
figure in the movement and he has
the assistance of the Anti-SalOon
league. DIR. G. T. Penn presided
over the meeting last night and APP
pointed Rev. Brown, George Der
man and A. M. Salnave a commit
tee to canvass the park addition
and report results at a meeting to
be held Monday evening at I'm
provement hall, Napa and Sprague.
Union park il populated largely
by working people and there is no
desire for q saloon there. 1t Is a
pretty and prosperous part of town
and has so far successfully resisted
the attempts of saloon men to get
a foothold.
Neither Councilmen Funk nor
Brown, from the First ward, would
say anything about the matter to-
day, preferring to wait until it
came up, in council from the license
committee.
On account of the sentiment op-
posed to the saloon there is not
much fear that the council will at
tempt to force 1t on the commun-
ity, but the opposition will take no
chances and the committee Is busy
today canvassing for signatures to
protests against granting the IL
cense.

ORCHARD LIED ABOUT
JOINING MAS0NS
tHcripps News Association,

DETROIT, July 11.-Some mem.
bers of the Masonic fraternity in
Detroit are working hard in an eff.
fort to discover whether there is
any truth in the claim of Harry
Orchard, principal witness for the
prosecution In the Haywood trial
at Boise, that he Joined Masonic
lodge in this city a number OF
years ago,
Up to this time the investigation
has revealed no trace of any local
Masonic affiliations on the part OF
the confessed dynamiter. There
seems to be reason to believe that
he lived for time eithr in Dtroit
or in; Royal Oak, but even that Is
not easily to be reduced to a mat.
ter OF dates and evidence.
Orchard himself asserts that
while In this city he was known as
A. A. Moule, and that under that
name he was made a Mason by q
local lodge, but no trace Of the
membership Of such a man can be
found.
Detectives sent by the defense
In the Haywood case have beaten
up Orchard's alleged career in De.
troit and vicinity. and have found
facts which will be used later on In
the trial to help impeach Orchard s
veracity.
