BANKERS OPPOSE 1T
Object to Both Guaranty and
Postal Savings Banks
MEETING OF MANY FINANCIERS
By an Overwhelming Majority the
Trust Company Section of the
American Bankers Association
Pass Resolution, Introduced by Col.
F. q. Fries, of Winston-Salem,
. Against the Guarantee of Bank De-
posits.

Denver, Col, Special.-TheS trust
company section of the American
Bankers Association went on record
IN opposition to the bank deposit
guarantee proposition, making the
third subsidiary association of the
American bankers to declare itself
thus. A motion to vote on postal
savings banks was defeated. All the
speeches made were against the pos
tai savings bank plan.
The resolution against the guaran-
tee of bank deposits was offered by
Col. F. H. Fries, of Winston-Salem,
N. c., who acted for the legislative
committee. This introduction Of the
resolution precipitated a debate, led
by Breckenridge Jones, of st. Louis,
in the negative, as to whether the sec
hon had a constitutional right to con-
slider any p oposition not of exclusive
interest to trust companies. The res
Dlution was carried "a to 5.
In the election of officers A. Jack
son, of Philadelphia, was chosen
president. Col. F. H. Fries was elect.
ed one of the new members of the
executive committee. v
Among a dozen called On for re-
marks was Carl Williams, of New
York, formerly president of the trust t
COM pany section. He said that 20
per cent. of the banking power Of the
United States was in New York and
that it was unanimously against the
guarantee of bank deposits.
Col. F. H. Fries, president of the
Wachovia Loan and Trust Company,
Of Winston-Salem, N. c., spoke be-
fore the trust company section Of the
American Bankers Association on
"Radicalism and Conservatism in Fl
nancial Measures and Legislation. "
He devoted a considerable part OF
his address to the proposition of a
postal savings bank and the present
much-discussed principle Of guaran-
ty of bank deposits. He said in part:
"Grave dangers are looming upon
our horizon, evidences of an ap-
preaching storm that may be quite
beyond our control. The gravity of
these dangers lies in the fact that ar
unenlightened public is largely in
Auenced, if not controlled, by active
and energetic politicians, who them
selves are either deceived or who
are seeking their own advantage re-
gardlss Of the consequence.
"The gravest danger lies in the
present tendency to put the govern
ment in the banking business for the
supposed good of the people. For the
want of better name we designate
it 'radicalisnl', meaning thereby the
embodiment of the radical ideas con-
cerning financial matters that have
been advanced by politicians and
that are now presented to the peo
ple.'

MEXICAN CARRIES HIS MONEY.
He Dislikes Checks and Doesn't I'm
derstand Bank Books.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald
Almost any Mexican in professional or
business life carries on his person any
where between 500 and $500. Even the
poor Indian in his blanket can more than
likely produce more than many foreign
ers.
The ordinary Mexican professional man
will be found to carry sums of money on
his person that would surprise the ordi-
nary travele- and even cause him worry
We're he forced to carry il with him, yet
the Mexican never even thinks of it,
Ii was but a few days ago that an
instance of this kind was brought to at
tention. One Mexican of the middle class
asked another in a casual way If he could
change a thousand dollar bill. The othe:
pulled out wallet from his inside pocket
and counted out nearly $1,000. Time
after time this has happened and it seems
no uncommon thing for Mexican of the
middle class to carry between 1000 and
1000 pesos on his person.
The check idea seems to have taken but
small hold as yet upon the citizens Of
Mexico, especially when small amounts
of less than $1,000 are concerned. They
consider it much easier to pay spot cash
than to give a check for amounts of $50
and 500, and they claim with some
amount of reason that business deal can
be put through with better advantage
when the cash is in sight.
Even the Indian in the street carries
amounts of cash that would never be sup
posed to be in mis- possession. They carry
their money in a leather belt. fastened
around their bodies inside Their trousers.
These belts are hollow and are open at
one end. Into the open end the Indian
slips his pesos or bills until he has the
whole full The belt then Is either taken
OF and hidden away or the bills ara
changed for larger denominations and still
carried around the body. But the Indian
is stickler for pesos duros" and pre-
fe-s them to any other class of money
except gold.
To the Indian money is money and a
bank book stands for nothing in his way
of reckoning. A check he will not ac-
cept under any circumstances. because he
does not understand it. A coin or paper
currency is what he is after, and that is
what he keeps his hands on when he
gets 1t.

Cat Fear.
From the New York World.

From the New York v World
The report from Gladstone, Mich. OF a
tramp cat discovered sucking the breath
Of a farmers infant child points to the
survival of superstition which has en-
dured as persistently as the belief that
the moons rays cause lunacy. Not un-
likely the cat, seeking refuge on the
chiids breast. interfered by its weight
with the infants breathing.
The superstition is no doubt a form of
the temperamentai antipathy TO cats which
exists with hysterical manifestations in
many persons. DR.. Weir Mitchell in his
investigation of cat fear found whole
families subject to il. In its more Sc
rious attacks cat fear causes nausea. lock-
law and nervous collapse. 1t is accom-
panied by q supersensitiveness which
makes the presence of a cat known to
the sufferer when unseen and tInheard
In contrast with the affection of many
celebrated persons for cats-Dr john
son. Victor Hugo, Ruskin, Thaephiie eau
tier-Napoleon disfiked them. as. Lord ROB
erts is said to do. Henry III Of France
could not stay IN a room with a eat.
What the pathological causes of cat an
tipathy are science confesses its inability
TO say Whatever first gave pussy her
reputation for treachery il has never been
outgrown. Certainly few maternal minds

olent designs of cats OH sleeping babies.
