Merrill Horse.

Editor National Tribune: VIII YOU
kindly publish the following notice to
the old boys who are left. Scattered as
they are all thru the country, 1T would
probably be impossible to hold any,
thing like satisfactory Reunion at
the National Encampment. the regi-
ment being formed of troops from four
different States, and none but the
Michigan battalion, I think, have kept
up an organization, holding Annual Re-
unions for the past 25 years. That we
may know the Ohio, Missouri and In
diana boys at the National Encamp-
ment, / would suggest that every COM
rade attending the National Encamp-
ment wear a Merrill Horse badge. If he
has one: or, If not that, something con-
spicuous. to let others know to what
regiment he belonged.-Geo. II. Rowell,
Secretary, Michigan Battalion Associa-
ton, Battle Creek, Mich.

at Hotel Astor.

New York Times" and c. II. Crosby, vice-pres-
dent and general manager Of the United States Ex-
press Company. the speakers at a monthly
meeting of the Traffic Club last night at the Hotel
Astor. Mr.. Cannon took as his subject Railways
and the Financial Situation, and Mr.. Crosby spoke
on The Fastest Freight.
After the speeches the three hundred members
present disposed themselves for informal varde-
VILE entertainment. IL announced that Gov
ernor Hughes would be the guest Of honor at the
clubs dinner on March s. Mr.. Cannon said in
part:
The railways are facing period Of lessened
earnings and dividend rates, made high to sell
securities are in many cases too high for present
conditions What need is some form of check
valve on money to prevent its diversion to any
particular of business at the expense Of other
lines Some central organization, whether cen
tral bank or an aggregation OF clearing houses.
should receive power to check this diversion and
make an equitable distribution of money"
Mr.. Crosby said in part: The increased speed OF
all freight lines has deprived the express business
OF the former great advantage of speed. and the
business must rely on its terminal and acces-
sionaI advantages and the commission and c. O. D.
business It is permitted to do But the express
companies will always have something to do

INSuRiNG BANK DEPOSITS.

I . me ECitor
Sir. In a recent issue. under the heading DR..
Bryans Penacea.' you say. Why has no insur-
company entered into the field of guarantee
ing bank deposits? On practically everything IN
which there sufficiently large risk for the pub
lie to desire insurance against it policy may be
obtained. The fact is that the chance of ultimate
loss through bank failure is negligible, and de-
positors realize that it is.
The formation of company for such purpose
was attempted about twenty years ago by Mr..
Ewing editor and publisher Of The Financier and
Capitalist He engaged on the formation
Of such a company, with capital Of S5,0oo,oN 1
think for about years, and he spent much
time travelling through the country seeking 10
promote It. After ne gavc il up he said that II
he had proposed so large capital it would prob
ably have gone through. j I. w.
