Leavitt commented.
Palmer made appeal that savings
banks, which pay 25 per cent of the
taxes, be permitted to become deposit
tories of state or municipal funds, as
commercial banks can be under recent
enactment The legislators thought
favorably of the point.
White was then asked to tell of the
conditions of local savings banks. He
told of the financial policy of the banks
after the fire, when loans were made
for building purposes in the burned dis
trict. He spoke of the destruction of
$500, ,000,0 of capital in the fire of
1906, and. in his opinion, said that San
FranciscS would be poor until that was
replaced.
TIME TO RENEW LOANS
Palmer MADE his reply quickly.
II don't agree with Mr.. White" he
said earnestly %He is not speaking for
the savings banks association. The
present condition is forced by the
stringency. We met all demands at the
time of the fire, and continued to do so
until October % last, when the clearing
house association decided to go on a
clearing house basis. Then we en-
forced the notice of withdrawal provi-
sion. Now we are going along nicely.

with a commercial bank. At least %
per cent of the withdrawal notices fled
with banks have been cancelled. 1t
looks to me that in a short time we can
do away with the withdrawal notices
and start again to make loans
'Depositors are withdrawing money
from the banks and loaning it out at
rates of interest of Z per cent, at least
in az nf ha

not loan while withdrawal notices are
required said Story. taking up Palm

give up withdrawal notices and make

Last week we failed to make

boil of the 1908 crop of this Sec

one of large size and fully opened.
Mrs. Mcdaniel stated that there
were several other bolls Of like
size and maturity.
We were treated to a pleasant
drive WEDNESDAY evening to the
farm of W. B. Fakes just north of
town, by the owner, to look at
some cotton being raised under the
direction of the government. The
cotton was planted May, 20, with
the rows three feet nine inches
apart and it now has on a nice
crop. The hollis do not number
as many to the stalk as the com
mon cotton but one boil of the
specially cultivated cotton will
weigh just double that of two bolls
from the other. Mr.. Fakes has
two acres from which he expects
to harvest at least two and one half
bales. A sample of the cotton is
now on display at the Fakes Mer-
camille Company and if the seed
had been planted earlier Mr.. Fakes
says that larger crop would have
been made.

FORT AND COLBY
To DINE WITH TAFT
AND ROOSEVELT
Politicians Await White House
Visit with Interest-Se=
lection Of Big Four.

TRENTON, Feb. 1S.-New Jersey
politicians here and in Washington are
interested in the statement that Gov
ernor Fort and Senator Colby are to
dine with the President at the White
House tomorrow. It is stated that
the Governor and Senator will confer
with the President and with Secretary
Taft, and on Thursday, at luncheon,
continue the discussion.
There is added interest to the incl
dent because of the rumor that Gov
ernor Fort might be chosen as Vice
Presidential candidate. His term as
Governor expires simultaneously with
that of United States Senator Kean,
and this fact brings up the question
of the selection of the Senator's sue
cessor.
The attitude of former Governor
Franklin Murphy, of Newark, as to the
Presidential nominee, as well as to the
Senatorship, is giving the politicians
considerable concern.
Then there is the unsettled question
of who will be the big four in the
next national convention from New
Jersey. Tt is understood that the New
Jersey Senators are perfectly willing
that the usual custom of allowing tht
Governor and the two Senators to &c
as delegates-atIarge should be fol
| lowed.
| 1t is believed the Senators prefer
David Baird as the fourth member o.
the elegation-at-large. But num-
ber of things have been happening il
New Jersey which has created an inn
preston among the Washington politi
clans that Governor Fort has decided
to upset this program and organize al
open fight for Secretary Taft.
In the event that Governor For
should refuse to be a candidate for th'
second place on the national ticket, {
way would be open for ex-Governo
Stokes to accept the Endorsement o
New Jersey for the place.

CLIMB 80 STORIES

HIGHEST FIRE
Many New Jersey Commuters
Watch Spectacular Singer
Building Blaze.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Crowds of
New Jersey men and women com
muters on their way across the ferries
late yesterday afternoon had new
| spectacle added to the bank of lights
the Manhattan shore usually presents
at night, when the carelessness of a
plumber caused fire in the tallest
office building in the world.
The fire originated in melting pot
on the fortieth floor. A swinging shut
ter banged against the brazier and be-
came ignited. In a few moments
volumes of smoke belched forth.
Thousands of persons crossing the
bay, the East and North Rivers and
the Brooklyn bridge witnessed a spec
tacle never before seen in the town,
and although the fire did no damage,
it stands out as one unique in the
records.
Firemen were rushed to the thirty
fifth floor in an elevator, and then had
to climb narrow ladders to the fortieth.
There they went through the swirling
sparks, and in five minutes had flooded
the furnace and removed all danger of
sparks being flung to the roofs of the
buildings which loomed darlxly down
below them.

HORSE To FIGHT
TROLLEY CAR FOR
RIGHTS OF STREET
Essex Equine Associations Will
Not Surrender to Devil
Wagon"
CLEAR BLOCKADES, CHIEF
CORBITT COMMANDS MEN
Police Take Up Board of Works
Battle on Congestion of the
City's Highways.

Essex County horse associations do
not intend to submit all their street
rights to the trolley company, and they
are preparing to show battle. This an
nouncement comes simultaneously with
the report that Chief of Police Michael
Corbitt has issued orders to his pre-
cinct captains to instruct their men
to see that street blockades are not
caused by careless driving of vehicles,
and to place under arrest any driver
who does not comply with the rules
of the road.
The Board of Works has been study
ing the congestion problem for some
time, and the cooperation of the police
was welcomed.
At the "Four Corners" the regulation
of vehicle traffic has been difficult. the
trolley crossing on Broad and Market
streets delaying wagons, and the cars
taking the "curve" rail from Broad
street into Market, and Wee versa,
have caused serious blockades on both
the main arteries of the city.
While in the less congested portions
drivers, 1t is said, are careless, the
police have to go slow at the -Four
Corners" because most of the conges-
ton is caused by the trolley cars, and
the various horse associations of the
county are preparing to nsske a hight
to see that "King Horse" does not
lose his rights to the devil wagon or
trolley cars on the public highways.

POLICE BOARD KEEPS
ON WEDDING SPECIALS
One Had a "GOld" Badge Made
When He Lost Regu=
lar One.

Efforts by the Police Board to weed
out the force of special policemen in
the city were continued yesterday
afternoon, when 100 holders of badges
were summoned to appear. Twelve on
the list failed to appear. When they
do go before the departments govern
ing body, they will have to explain why
they did not answer the call or have
their badges taken away.
Antonio Cerrato, of 2S Fourteenth
avenue, turned over his authority in
the shape of ''near" gold badge, sim
liar to those worn by police sergeants,
but marked Especial officer and when
asked why all the magnificence, an
swered that he broke the badge re-
ceived from the Police Board and had
the gold" one made in New York.
The board charges 81 when the spe-
cial badges are issued, and wher
turned in refund 81. On the sugges-
ton of Secretary Cox the commission
ers will take under consideration the
advisability of charging an annual fee
for the badges, the surplus money re-
ceived to be turned into the retire
ment fund.
Commissioned William Bennett ex-
planned that his ''hall of fame" resolu.
tion, providing for the posting of th'
names of officers on bulletins for meri'
torious work was intended to dat'
from the first of the year. If any po
liceman had done a specially merito-
rious deed since that date his nam'
should be placed on the bulletin.
