BANKS TO BE EXAMINED
OFTENER IN THE FUTURE

Washington, Oct. 14.-Comptroller OF
the Currency Murray has decided to
increase the number of national bank
examinations. in many cases from twice
to three or four times a year. 1t is
not his purpose, however, he says, to
examine all national banks four or ever
three times a year, but the new rule
will be made to apply to all national
banks that have in the past shown a
DISPOSITION to violate or evade any of
the provisions of the national banking
laws or the regulations prescribed by
the comptroller of the currency. It is
stated tina a considerable numbe of
national banks have heretofore seemed
to consider violations of some of the
less important provisions of h ma
tional banking laws as matters of small
onseduen and have treated the or
ders of the comptroller on the subject
with apparent indifference. Practtc-
ally the only remedy in such cases is
TO declare the banks charter forfeited.
but this action in nearly every cas6
would be regarded as entirely too dras-
tic. considering the character of the
~offense.
Comptroller Murray's purpose, how
ever. is to keep in closer touch with
those banks whose management is ur-
der more or less constant suspicion.
Reckless and speculative banking will
be discouraged to the limit of the comp
troller'S ability.

grain rates from trans-Missouri river

f~erential Of 2R cents over Omalaa to
st Louis and 3 cents on grain for

differential is 1 cent. st. Louis filed an

tials. st. Louis would have to go out

GIRL MURDERED
ON WEDDING EVE
Suspect Groom, Because Of q
Clew Furnished by a
Broken Horseshoe.

Wadsworth. Ont, Oct. 13.-With un-
usual energy the police authorities are
en~deavoring to unravel the mystery Of
the murder of Ora Lee, 81 years old, q
handsome factory girl, whose body,
pierced by two bullets, was found early
yesterday on the road between Wads-
worth and the hamlet of Custard Hook.
Guy Rasor, the mar whom Miss Lee
was to have married this week, is de-
tanned by the sheriff pending devel-
opments of h police Investigation. RAJ
sor denies all knowledge of the tragedy,
and In support of his denial exhibits q
marriage license procured at Wooster.
The body of the young oma was
found by Chas. Rasor, a cousin of
Guy Rasor, as he passed along the
o in the early hours OF this day.
The principal clew that led to the
detention OF Guy Rasor is the fact
that along the road wheNe the murder
was committed are plainly seen the
tracks of a horse with one shoe missing.
An examination Of the stables at Rasor
home disclosed the fact that one Of
Rasor's horses has a shoe missing.
Rasor refuses any explanation concern
Ing this feature of the ease. He de-
clares he al prove an alibi.
Another police theory is that a rival
for the affections Of Miss Lee may have
shot the girl on learning of her APP
preaching marriage to Rasor.
Miss Lee left Wadsworth last night
~ostensibly to prepare for her wedding.
When the body was found the hands
were folded yer the breast and the
limbs Strengthened out as IL the corpse
had been carefully arranged after
death.
The girls suitcase was on the ground
beside her. Her handbag was still on
her right wrist, and in her left hand
h clutched a handkerchief. There
was no evidence of q struggle. Rasor
apparently is bowed with grief.

CoRsETS WIN OUT IN
SUIT OF SALES GIRL

New Yrk, Oct. R--Attorney Chauncey
H. Beasley raised the always interesting
question of the effect of corsets on the
charming being who wears them. Mr..
seemed to have gained the idea
somewhe that corsets weaken a young
woman's vitality and decrease her apihty
to work.
Miss Katherine McKenna, OF No. 200
Runyon ST., Newark, sued the North Jer-
sey Railway for $4,000 damages
for injuries she sustained in a trolley col
lision at Clinton avenue and Spruce street.
about two years ago. Miss Mckenna tes-
titled that her hurts had compelled her to
give up her occupation as saleswoman and
even now prevent her from sleeping we'll.
She described other lamentable results to
her health.
Mr.. Beasley, counsel for the company,
called DIR. John B. Gale, yesterday, and
started out to put a long hypothetical
question to him.
IF q young saleswoman squeezes her
waist"
she doesn't have to-" m a
youthful lawyer, associated In the case.
Mr.. Beasley's question, In brief, was:
"If a young saleswoman, who has to
stand for hours at a time behind a coun-
ter, squeezes her waist and internal or
gans with tightly laced corsets will she
not be incapacitated for such work."
deneFdly speaking, yes, saio Dr'
Gale, but he would not say that her cor
sets had caused the ills Of which Miss
McKenna complained.
To go further into the subject. Mr.. Beas
ley called Dr.. John D. McGill, of Jersey
| City. The doctor would not say, either,
that Miss McKenna's corsets had given
her insomnia. But, apparently, he thought
that the Venus de Milo, who never wore
| stays, would make a fine s-aleswoman II
she had arms.
Then Franklin W. Fort called DR.. VIII.
liam Quimby, DR., Edward Seely and DR.
Albert B. Nash, and they agreed that
Miss McKenna's corsets had not incap-
a~citated her as a saleswoman: rather, she
had been compelled to lace tighter after
the collision that her corsets might brace
her weakened form.
The jury gave Miss McKenna $.W
damages, a distinct triumph for corsets.
