CORTELYOU MEN
SO OVER TO
TAFT FORCES

Washington, Jan. 2.--Frank Hitchcock,
first assistant postmaster-general. and
john Capers. commissioner OF internal
revenue. have climbed into the front
seats OF the Taft band wagon.
This is not only a boost for Mr.. Taft
but It is tho unveiling OF the monument
on the grave OF the Cortelyou boom
There have been those who charged
that Mr. Hitchcock went through the
south. where federal office-holders con-
stitute the Republican party, and lined
up delegates for President Roosevelt
for third term. These delegates were
10 be delivered to Secretary Cortelyou. as
the president would not accept a third
term.
The president has come out for Secre-
tary Taft as his successor and would not,
for a time. believe that Hitchcock was
using federal patronage against the
White House plans. Then the story
goes that when he was convinced ne
notified federal officc-holders by letter
that he did not want to hear of any
further activity in his behalf on their
part.
Mr.. Hitchcock has denied all this en-
phatically, and is entitled To have this
also set down. but it doesn't stop. the
story.
Mr.. Capers. who holds the is delegates
OF South Carolina at his disposal, and
who has considerable influence In other
southern states. said. for publication,
that he had not sieard OF such letter
and did not believe that one existed.
Tire next day he was invited TO the
White House and the president In per-
son showed the letter TO him.
The treasury department closed yester-
day at noon. 1t being a half-hoIiday. Two
hours later Mr.. Hitchcock met Mr.. Capers
in tho latter's office. When the confer
ence had ended both had decided that
they were for Taft.
This means the delivery OF delegates
gathered by Hitchcock for Cortelyou TO
Taft. Also means that the assistance
in the south of Mr.. Capers will be added
to the Hitchcock organizing ability.
To Mr.. Hitchcock 1t is not improbable
that the move may mean that he will be
the Hanna TO Taft
To Mr.. Capers 1t means holding a place,
not for the financial returns, as he can
make more money practicing law, but for
the political and social standing II gives
him.
To the friends OF Taft II means that
he will have the advantage OF having
added brains In his boom.

BANKS FAILED BECAUSE
NOT WELL SUPERVISED

Albany. N. Y. Jan. 2.--After thor
ough review of the general conditions
responsible for the panic of 1907, Clark
Williams, superintendent of the New
York state Banking Department In bis
annual report, submitted 10 the iegis-
lature yesterday. says the par icular
causes contributing largely TO the fall
uro OF the 10 financial institutions OF
New York city were "A lack OF proper
supervisory powers. too great inde-
pendence between corporations, lack
OF association for mutual assistance
and corporate abuse.
The forms of corporate abuse princi-
pally contributing TO these failure, he
says. were; A general disregard OF
law; lack OF conservatism In manage
ment. in attention to and disregard OF
duties of directors, and improper use
OF corporate credit for personal ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Williams recommends numerous
changes In the banking laws or the
state TO remedy these abuses. to anord
