RABBIT DRIVE
IS PLANNED
Local Sportsmen Talking Of Get.
ting Up Big HINT In Which
Many Would Engage.

If the plans of local sportsmen are
carried out within the next few days
a rabbit drive of large proportions
will be organized and a day of real
sport be enjoyed by those taking part.
While the matter has gone no far
Their than talk at present, it is prob
able that some move to make 1t a
reality will soon be made.
A few days ago several local men
went hunting for the Dummies and re-
turned with several. The number OF
rabbits reported in the section, to-
gether with the stories of good sport
to be had in a drive, are together
working the popular favor much in
the direction of big hunt day.
The plan of action, now being dis
cussed, is for a band of some 100
men and boys to be organized and a
good part of them armed with shot
guns. Dividing forces they would
drive in V shaped form down the
valley. In this manner, hundreds OF
Dummies will be driven out into the
open and a proportionate slaughter
result.
While the plan is at present only
in the embryo state it is very proba-
BILE that something will come of 1t
and the valley be rid of some of the
thousands of rabbits which infest 1t.
The day would furnish great sport as

IN FINE
CONDITION
Are New York Banks Ac-
cOrdinStO Report Filed
With State Department
CASH IN QUANTITIES
Twenty-Five Institutions Have a
Total of $225, 100000 on Hand
Met Loss Of Money Small.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Under call
of the state banking department fol
reports of condition on December 10,
81 trust companies and 20 state
banks of Greater New York have filed
their formal statements. While the
effects of the recent storm are plainly
evident, especially in regard to those
few institutions against which the at
tack seemed most direct, the sta T.
ment as a whole bears testimony to
the quick recovery generally made
and the unwavering confidence of the
great body of depositors. The reports
also show that certain of the state
banks of New York City did their
share toward relieving the financial
situation in other cities. They ac-
complished this by accepting form
the local banks a large quantity OF
clearing house certificates, leaving
the national banks in position to en-
ploy their cash in relief of customers
and corporations in the interior.
The 30 state banks of New York
Brooklyn and the other boroughs of
Greater New York which have so far
reported, show aggregate deposits of
1925, 900, 900.
OF this enormous sum the net loss
in Withdrawals since August % last,
amounted to only $2,056,117. The
losses were distributed among 8 OF
the banks, with total Withdrawals of
S13,925,761, while II banks showed
an aggregate gain of $10,S69, ga.
Allowing for all Withdrawals and
the purchase of clearing house certi-
ficates which are now held as collat-
eral, the state banks indicated their
prosperous condition by maintaining
cash reserves in some instances far
in excess of the 1 5 per cent required
by state laws. One of the largest
holders of the certificates shows a re-
serve of "a per cent.
Only one state bank took advan-
tage of it's membership in the clearing
house association to issue certificates,
which are now outstanding as a liza
bility item of $500, 900. Nine of the
state banks hold clearing house GER
tificates to the extent of $7,10O, 600.
Loans and DISCOUNTS show a decrease
in the statements of 10 of the banks,
while the values of stocks, bonds,
mortgages, etc, as an item of re-
source also show general shrinkage.
A majority of the banks show an in
crease of cash on hand.
The official statements of the trust
companies of Greater New York are
perhaps fraught with the greatest in
terest The institutions were forced
to bear the brunt of the financial
storm which broke with the suspen-
sion of the Knickerbocker Trust COM
pany The 81 companies which have
thus far reported show falling Off
of deposits from $27S,O56,3OO on
August % last, to $190,256, 500 on
December 10. The loss of deposits
was accompanied by calling in of
loans, the reduction in the latter
item amounting to 100000. The
market values of stocks, etc, show a
decline of about 500, 100000. In
specie the 81 trust companies show
loss of less than $2,000,000, while
in legal tender and bank notes held
as reserve, they show an increase of

ernoon at Columbia University lee
lure on THE Stock Exchange and the
Money Market
Mr.. Woodlock spoke of these out
of-town loans as of no benefit to New
York bankers and condemned the
practice of making them as part
of the lack of system and concerted
action that mark the borrowing and
lending of money on American eX-
changes. He said:
Instead of county banks leaving
their money on deposit with the New
York institutions, allowing the latter
to lend this money for their own ac-
count. the out-of-town banks conclud-
ed to make direct loans themselves
to get the benefit of the high call
money rates ruling at the exchange
This practice first attracted attention
as a dangerous element in the situ7
alton in the summer of 1902. At
that time quiet investigation de-
veloped the fact that something over
500. 100000 was being lent in this
way by out-of-town institutions sub
iect to their call
THE loans do not figure il, the
weekly hank statement and, of
course, are supported by the New
York cash reserve. 1t is not gen.
orally known that year ago the
same condition existed, but to much
greater extent. In December of last
year it WAS estimated that more than
100000 was being loaned in
New York city for account of out-of-
town banks, over which loans the
New York banks had no control what
ever
In view of what has happened in
the last three months we may be tru-
ly grateful that the storm did not
break as it might have broken 49,
months ago, instead of coming as it
did after many months of very severe
liquidation, during which these di-
rect loans by country banks were
enormously reduced"
Mr.. Woodlock explained the sys-
TEN of call loans and also described
the workings of the stock exchange.

nearly $1,000,0OO The trust COM
panies all were put to severe test,
but their business affairs, according
TO the reports now submitted, have
been so adjusted that many of the
officers declare that they are in a bet
ter position today than ever before.
The report of the Trust Company
of America, which withstood a run of
many days, was awaited with much
interest. 1t shows a net decline in
cash reserve of less than | pc recent
since August 1. The cash reserve of
the company now on hand is $3,354,-
223, a percentage of 1917, as against
the legal Is per cent requirement.
The reserve of the company last Au-
gust was something more than Sill
1000, or 1852 per cent of the de-
posits. The cash of the Trust Com
pany of America, as with all the
other companies submitting reports,
remains unimpaired. This showing
of the company is made despite the
fact that during the run it paid out
more than $50, 100000.
Part of this came from the 500.

amount of deposits now on the COM
pany's books is $20,193, 402, as
shown by the December statement.
The company surplus on December
10 was $7,169,134. The amount due
to other trust companies was re-
duced during the run from the Au
gust figures of nearly $4,00O,000 to
less than 100000.

months ago amounted to $4,000 600,

WALSH CASE MUST
BE GIVEN TO JURY

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Judge Ander-

court here, overruled a motion to
take the case of John r. Walsh from
the jury.
Attorney Miller was interrupted
during his argument for the defense
by Judge Anderson, who said it was
unnecessary for the attorney to talk
longer.
From the evidence presented it
does not appear wise for me to de-
eide this case myself" said Judge An
derson. 1T is useless for you to talk
further. The more you discuss this
thing the worse it looks to me. The
motion is overruled.
