BANKS SEND s2a, ,7os, ,421 TO TREASURY
Many Large Institutions Anticipated Call
Working Balance, 100000.

washington, July 16.-The funds so far received
at the Treasury from national deposltary banks
under the Secretary's call of July 20 amount 10
500 700 421 and no doubt is expressed that the full
amount called for will be received within two or
three days 1t at first estimated that the
amount of this call would approximate S4o'U"Wh
but a close calculation reduces this sum to VS.
go 2o Tho difference is accounted for by the fact
that a number OF the larger depositary banks had
anticipated the Secretary's call by two or three
davs and had sent in upward OF Souo" lor
which they received credit when the call was issued
If also anneared that considerable number OF
depositaries having active accounts subject to ds-
bursting officers checks had only the minimum
amounts allowed by law and therefore the balances
were not subject TO the call
The working balance to-day is something over
s67 100000 and this will be materially strengthened
by the called deposits route to the Treasury
The disbursements however, as is always the case
at the beginning of the fiscal year, far exceed the
REGENTS In the sixteen days cf this month the ex-
pendtures exceed the receipts by $15,NolS5.

SOME TRAFFIC RULINGS.
Commerce Commission Decides I'm
DOrtant Questions.

Washington July 1s-That a household servant
when travelling with q member of the family en-
titled a pass, is lawfully included within the
term family used in the act to regulate COM
merce. is OF several interesting conference ru-
ings made public to-day by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The rulings upon questions
raised submitted to the commission in corre-
spondence. This decision is modification OF
previous ruling which held that the word family,
used in the anti-pass provision OF the act dld
not include servants
In another ruling the commission holds that COM
mon carriers may provide at points along thelr
lines eating houses for passengers and employees OF
such carriers, and that property for use or the
eating houses may properly be regarded as heCes-
sary and intended for Of the carriers IN the
conduct OF their business. II is provided that these
eating houses. however, must not serve the gen
eral public any portion thereof, with food pre-
pared from commodities which have been carried
at less than the full published rate and no utensils
fuel or servants at all employed IN serving oteIS
than passengers and employees of the carrier as
such should be carried at less than tariff rates.
1t is held in another decision that a belt ilne
owned by municipality which participates IN IN
terstate movements is subject TO the jurisdiction
os the act to regulate commerce and of the COM
mission. In still another decision the commission
holds that msrouting carrier may be authorized
make a refund account of its error In mis-
routing shipment. and that the carrier when par
ficipated in the transporta ton without lawful
tariff applicable thereto should be dealt with
through the department Of prosecutions In TINS
shipment was misrouted and passed over d
route by a part of which rate was filed with
the commission and was thus subjected TO higher
charge than the through rate by the proper route
A decision of peculiar interest is that in the
case Of a shipment which rendered destined to
a certain point the direct route to which was over
+he lines of two carriers distance of 55S miles
the rate by that route being 2 cents 1t was
possible to send the shipment around over the
lines Of three carriers distance Of 617 miles, and
get a combination rate of only IS cents. Appllca-
do for
difference between the rates, but the commission
held that the claim for a refund should be denied
On the ground that the much longer and indirect
route was not a reasonable route.

Tor separate receiverships for the two companies.
On the motion OF the Morton Trust Company and

directed 10 file with the court by August l sum

out that conditions had been radically altered since
Messrs Joline and Robinson were made receivers
OF the two systems.
Considerable progress" he said, has been made
In liquidating claims of outsiders against the New

expect that by this coming fall the great bulk OF

time has now when steps should be taken for
an accounting between that company and its lessor
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company"
Judge Jacombe is of the opinion that the income
of each concern will be sufficient to pay its own
expenses, but gives that all creditors of
and claimants against the courts officers may be
satisfied that whatever may be found to be right
fully due them will be paid" In case OF disputed
ownership of property, Messrs. Joline and Robinson
instructed to turn such property to the
receiver of the New York City Railway Com
