The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-01-19

The bank breaker is no novelty.
He is in the newspapers all the time.
But the bank saver, the broken bank
mender, is something new in finance.
In fact quite unique, for the the pres
ent time there is only one, George H.
Earle, Jr., Of Philadelphia, who scored
perhaps the greatest triumph of his
successful life when the Real Estate
Trust Company Of Philadelphia elected
Mr.. Earle president, and opened it's
doors a solvent institution, only two
months after a failure SO bad that it
seemed absolute.
No fnancier ever scored more no.
table personal triumph. The Real
Estate Trust went down in the midst
of general execration. 1t had failed
through the criminality of it's presl-
dent, the criminal completely of its
treasurer and the gross negligence OF
its directors.
The first hasty examination of its as.
sets showed only utter ruin.
The president Of the institution, un-
der the influence of the extraordinary
Austrian, Adolph Segal, dreamer and
promoter, had advanced money on the
most worthless wildcat securities.
Hundreds of thousands were put out
in sugar refneries that never had a
chance to operate, million in hotel
that, it is claimed, had never paid a
dollar on the original investment, and
on which even the taxes for six years
stood unpaid.
TO balance against seven-million-
dollar failure, the assets did not look
to be worth two millions
Many poor people had their all tied
up in the real estate trust, and popular
rage turned against the directors, men
of wealth and standing in the commu-
nifty, whose names had been the bait
that attracted millions of deposits to
the bank.
Indignant depositors, represented by
able counsel, Immediately arranged
suits to force the directors to make
atonement, financially, for the neglect
of solemn trust. The contemplated
litigation would have tied up the
money for years, put an end to what
ever credit the institution might have,
and probably end in complete failure.
At this junction Receiver Earle, who
had been appointed by the court, said
to the depositors:
stop all these suits. Leave every
thing to me and will save your
money"
The same appeal from probably any
other man would have met only, with
scorn and laughter, but it came from a
man that Philadelphia new. George
H. Earle, Jr., had made the same
speech before and had made good.
The angry depositors, although a
few were slow in cooling off, finally
stopped their suits, and told Mr.. Earle
to go ahead, they would give him a
free foot to pursue any plan of reor-
ganization he might see fit, and they
would back him up.
Thus empowered this is what the
exponent of the new science of bank
saving did.
He first asked all the depositors to
give him their proxies, so that he
could have power to represent and act
for them officially. This was quickly
done, and every mail brought in hun
dreds of proxies, until finally the re-

Bottled Dollar Fished From Sea.

Schmid of Clayton wrote an offer of

Buse of Wadebridge, Cornwall, Eng

harbor, near Bristol channel.
Mr.. Schmid is cashier of the st.
Louis County bank at Clayton. With
others he went to Germany last

PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN.
CaIumnies Concerning Them Which
Men of All Nations Utter.

CaIumnies Concerning Them Which
Men of All Nations Utter
The Germans say: Listen to a
woman's first opinion, but not her
second" This proverb embodies the
world-old theory that woman's intu-
ition is better than her reason.
The French say: "a wife is a per-
petual torment and "A man of straw
is worth a woman of gold" The
absurd French cynicism, the French
distrust of womankind, is as well por-
trayed in those two proverbs as in one
of Guy de Maupassant's stories.
The Spanish love their women, but
in light and jesting way. Their prov
cribs make sport of her. For instance:
Women, wind and fortune are change
able" IF you have anything to pro-
claim in the open market you need
only to whisper it to a woman" BE
on your guard against bad woman
and never trust good one. . There is
only one bad wife, but every husband
thinks he has got her"
Bitter and contemptuous is the Ital-
ian idea of woman. They say in Italy
as they suck desperately on their mis-
erably made government cigars: HE
who loses his wife and a brass farth-
ing has only lost the latter"
The Chinese objection to woman is
that she talks too much. A woman's
tongue is her sword and she never
permits it to rest"
The American proverbs are kinder:
Women can keep secret, but it
takes lot Of them to do it," and
Women paint to hide their bushes"
The society reporters always speak
of a bride being "led to the altar" just
as though a bride couldn't find her
own way there lind-folded.

Passage of immigration Bill BY
House Clears Way to Jap
Settlement
ALIENS MAY ATTEND SCHOOL
Frisco School Authorities Will Ad-
NIT Foreign Pupils Under Is Years of
Age Who Arc Able to Speak English
Formal Agreement With Mikado
Will Now be Sought.

Washington, Feb. 19-The passage
of the immigration bill by the house
clears the decks so that the administra-
ton will at once proceed to negotiate
with Japan for new treaty controll-
ing the immigration of coolie laborers
into the United States.
BY the agreement made between the
president, Secretary Root Mayor
Sehmitz and the San Francisco school
authorities all children of alien races
who can speak the English language
and who are under l6 years Of age will
be admitted to the white schools and
all others will be compelled to attend
special schools.
1t is expected that the negotiations
will result in an agreement between
the government of Japan and that of
the United States for the Withholding
by the former Of passports to Japanese
of the laboring classes seeking to en-
ter the United States For several
year past the Japanese government has
declined to Issue any such passports,
but the intention Is to make this a
matter Of formal agreement II posi-
BILE.
In the short time remaining of the
present session of congress it is not
POSSIBLE, it is said. to frame anything
in the nature OF treaty which would
require the action of the senate. In
fact, it is by no means certain that a
formal convention is necessary to in
sure the continuance of the present
Japanese policy OF refusing passports
TO the United States to coolies, so 1t
may be decided to give this agreement
another form than treaty.
The department of commerce and
labor, being in charge OF immigration
will at once upon the signature OF the
immigration bill proceed to instruct the
collectors at Hhe various ports of entry
of the restrictions placed upon the ad-
mission of immigrants by the new act.
No mention is. to be made of Japanese
laborers, but the collectors will be en-
joined to enforce the passport pro-
visions of the new act which will meet
the needs Of the Pacific coast.
Skilled and unskilled laborers COM
ing from Japan are to be barred from
the main land of the United States and
American laborers, skilled and UNI
skilled, are to be excluded from Japan.
