PRACTICAL EFFECT
FACTS AND FIGURES ON FOWLER
 CURRENCY BILL. &
Mir. Bush Sets Forth Status of National Banks in New York If Fowler
 Bill WereS in Actual
 Operation. st

New York, April 9-Irving T. Bush, vice chairman of the Committee on Commercial Law. of the Merchants As sociation, today made statement on the practical effect of the Fowler cur rency bill on the balance sheets of the banks.
 MT Bush set forth in figures. the status of the national banks of the City of New York, If the bill were in act ual operation. He said:
 There seems to be many, even among leading bankers, who have not had brought fully to their attention the benefits which they would derive from Comment has been made on the large amount which the banks would be required to transfer to the Treasury to make up the five per cent guaranty fund, which is to be deposited against both deposits and notes. This re- quirement is really much less radical than has been represented. The last report of the Comptroller Of the Cur rency, showing the condition of the na- tional banks of New York City on February 14. last. showed deposits sub ject to reserve requirements to the amount of s02.1ss.75s, and outstand- ing bank notes to the amount of $6S,- SSs.105, making a total amount sub ject to the guaranty fund requirements of the Fowler bill of $971 OFT 800. The amount required for the guaranty fund would be five per cent of this amount or $4s.533.Ss5.
 This looks at first blush like a form idable amount to withdraw from the cash resources of the banks, but when 1t is considered that 1t is counted as part of their required reserves, the question is reduced simply to one local ity. where the money is kept. Reserve requirements would be raised from $225.547.19s, under the existing law. to $242. 2.76S.475. of which S4S553,S95 would be in Washington and s91942lb,- 5S0 would be in cash in the custody ot the banks. The New York banks had more cash on February IA thap would be required by tho Fowler bill. and not be changed to their disadvantage One of the greatest advantages to the banks under the proposed now system would be the free control of their own resources. Instead of keeping in the treasury as was the case on Feb ruary fl, United States bonds to se- cure circulation to the amount of $7O.- 7s2.1O0, United States bonds to secure certain public deposits to the amount of $4S91.000 and other bonds to se- cure public deposits to the amount Of $67,243.912. all would be returned to them and they would he able to con vert them at will into cash.
 The United States two per cent bonds would be purchased by the GUS. todians of the guaranty fund, with the purpose of withdrawing thcm from the market and maintaining their valua the Fowler bill provides that thev should be purchasedtat the price of 1oA in order to guard against any loss re- sultinE from their abandonment as 6

Mrs. Smith is suing the company for the death of Julius c. Smith. her son. at Pratt City last fall. Mir. Smith was a brother of the late Eli P. Smith. managing editor of The Birmingham News. It will be ra- called that he was killed in collision be- tween passenger train of the Frisco and while employed as a Pullman car conduct or.
 After all the pleading had been settled when the case was called the first thing this morning the first witness placed on the stand A. W. Smith, q brother of the deceased, who testified as to Mir Smiths death.
 A number of passengers on the Frisco train were placed on the stand. the most of them residing at Jasper. They told of how the passenger train was slowly moving across the crossing and of seeing . freight train coming toward them. The yttnesses from ten to twenty miles an hour
 Just before the recess was taken for lunch J. A. Matthias. foreman of the car depart. ment of the Frisco and who had charge of the wreeking crew who cleared away the debris: J. C. Potts, Frisco car inspector, and W. W Claypool. another inspector, tes- tified as to the condition of the air brakes of the freight train. They declared that something like twenty-five cars had defect- i've air brakes Mir. Claypool was the last to testify before court took recess for lunch.

 The other victims Ot the hfkhwsvmen n who identified Tomasino did not visit the Hillman Hospital. where the injured man was reported to be resting very well this morning. They are James Goolsby aud Albert Hogan. The fourth victim Monroe Young was shot and has not seen either man.
 Just sN soon as Mr Lever. who has charge of rural free delivery No 1 at En- siev took a look at both men today and declared they were the ones. 1t is under stood that the entire matter was placed in the hands of the grand jury MT Lever being the first witness called MT. Lever in- formed the sheriff that the dead man did most of the talking while the man in the hospital kept him covered with gun.
 T had purse in my hip pocket" said Mir Lever and a small purse in front trouser pocket. When the two men. who were seated near the road. each armed with a gun arose and covered me, l knew tt was useless to resist and in order to throw them off their guard I pitched them my small purse containing about S4. s0.

basis of circulation. Under this ar rangement. $70.7s2.100 of United States bonds would be handed back to- the national banks of New York, to be dis posed of to the government for cash to about an equal amount. which cash could be lent in the market at current rates. while the privilege of issuing notes would remain unimpaired
 "A little computation will show that the ability to lend the proceeds of the bonds at the current rate of interest would be an advantage to the banks. They would be required to pay two per cent upon their circulation, which Is one and one-half per cent higher than they now pay and they would lose the interest on the two per cent bonds. but with the money at i've per cent, they would still make a profit above what they now make by tieing up their capital in two per cent bonds"

 Baxter, he predicts. will be in the big league company before there have been many months gone by. Perry, he Is sure. will do better at second even than third which Greminger will hold down handily. Perry's especial strength. he says. Is his remarkable speed on either side of his position and his natural underhand throw. Pope will be the real thing at short.
