BANKERS OPPOSE GUARANTEE
Federal Committee Declares Strongly
Against Plan.
REPORT MADE AT LAST SESSION
Final Day of Denver Meeting Given
over 10 Discussion and the
Selection of New Omcers
for Year.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. l.-Tne question Of
guaranteeing bank deposits was brought
squarely before the annual convention of
the American Bankers association at its
afternoon session today in a report of the
associations federal legislative committee,
which takes a decided stand in opposition
to such action by either the federal or the
state governments. The report in part is
as follows:
"Your committee is opposed to the guar
anteeing OF deposits by either state or
federal governments. or the assuming OF
trusteeship by either, OF a guarantee
fund. believing that 1t would be a func-
tion wholly outside of any purpose for
which state or federal governments were
organized, and for the further fact that
the assuming of a trusteeship would be
misleading to the general public. as it is
not a guarantee by either state or federal
government, and that such law would
work to the detriment, not only of the
banks, but to the deposlting public as well.
II one class of bank creditors is to be
insured against the usual mischance OF
business, why not all classes, and where is
the Justice of levying a depOsitor's loss,
for which he is not responsible. on other
banks, who also are not responsible for
selection OF where he shall keep his ac-
count?
Bank stands for Deposits.
"Depositors OF a bank are guaranteed
primarily by the character of the assets
in which the depositors money is in
vested and fortified by the banks capital

say its investments. are good. II it's credits

tended. depositors are amply protected
and need no other guaranty. Why should
not the banks assets be guaranteed? Why
not guarantee payment 10 the banks OF

This would guarantee deposits. Both prop
ositions are alike Illogical and alike alb

MYSTERY AT
UNIVERSITY
Steel Casket Containing Woman's
Body ON Stanford Campus
Exhumed.

Stanford University, CAL, April %.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the exhuming by unknown persons Of
steel casket containing the body OF
a woman buried, apparently, for many
years in a little graveyard on the
Stanford campus.
The reason for the desecration of
the grave and the identity of the de-
ceased remain a mystery. Before
Stanford University was founded an
eccentric Frenchman, Peter Coutts,
made his home on the Stanford
estate. This man was political
exile from his native land. He ap-
parently had plenty of money and he
used strange and unusual means OF
getting rid of 1t. The name of the
romantic Frenchman has been con,
nected with the strange woman in the
steel coffin, although 1t is said there
is hardly any tangible reason.

Votes Favorable to the Presidents
Demands-His staunchest Friends
Have Deserted Him.
Associated Press.

Washington. April 22.-President
Roosevelt announced positively today
that he would veto the naval appro-
priation bill should the senate, as did
the house, authorize the construction
of two battleships instead of four as
urged in his special message.
Those close to the president say
that there is not the slightest indi.
cation that he has relinquished his
fight for the construction of four
new battleships.
Senators who are with the presi.
dent in his fight on the proposition
admit tonight that a careful survey
of their strength in the senate gives
but 26 votes in favor of the four
ships. Especial significance is at
tached to this poll from the fact thai
it shows a loss to the presidents
side, some of his staunchest sup
porters having decided to sustain the
action of the lower house.
