RENEWED SELLING ON CHANGE.
Most of the Active Stocks Fell Below
Saturdays Closing.

NEW YORK, September 21.-The stock
market started in unsettled today as a
consequence of the weakness last week
Selling orders from outside sources came
into the market over Sunday and caused
declines in the first transactions of l to
IL points in the market leaders. The
rally which followed caused a belief that
important banking and financial interests
are determined to protect prices agans:
further inroads.
The recovery only invited renewed SELL
ing. and acute weakness followed in~tfe
course of the first hour, most of the active
stocks falling 1h to 21a below Saturday S
last prices.
The turn taken by the political canvass
toward increased prominence of the anti
corporation Issue was not relished by the
element active in stock speculation.

service some time have actually failed to
read the book of instructions which is
furnished by this office. And not only
that. but they have failed to read the
printed matter on the blank forms on
which they make their reports and, as
consequence. omit to furnish the essen
tial information which these specific in
StructiOnS call for.
Frequently letters are received from
examiners making inquiries on certain
points. In most cases the information in
detail is given IN plain print on the blanks
which they use in making the reports.
Can you imagine anything more ridicu-
lous than that?
The time for such careless methods has
gone by. 1t should have gone by long
ago. For in the government service l do
not know of a single branch where the
responsibilities are as great and some
times rest so lightly as they do on the
shoulders of national bank examiners.
Very often the reports are submitted
here with nothing but the bare figures
given. In all affairs of life the personal
equation is important. You should take
time to a write letter discussing fully
and frankly the affairs of the bank as
stated in your report If the situation re-
quires such course.
You are on the ground, you are In a
position to find out exactly what the stu
alton is: and you should find 1t out and
give the COnlTOlleT lile
You should furnish full description
of the larger and more important loans
and discounts and the nature and value OF
the collateral securing them. and not rest
satisfied by simply stating. as many OF
the reports do. amply secured
do not let me give the impression that
I believe the system of bank examinations
is failure. We have some men VINO are
doing work equal to any work that Is
being done in any branch of the govern
ment service. Great help has been gwen
to banks by the splendid efforts which
they have made and are making at the
present time.
What say this morning is not meant
for these men. 1t is directed to those of
YOU who are not up to that standard and
are making no effort to reach 1t.
Men, Not System, at Fault.

ALLEGED INSURANCE FAKE
CHICAGO MAN HELD FOR HEAD
OF CONFIDENCE SCHEME.
Plan of Home and Fireside Protec-
tive League of America Unique.
Premium on Children.

CHICAGO, September 21--Jules +.
Keeling charged by Harmon Stolzenau
with being the general manager of the
Home and Fireside Protective League of
America. was arrested yesterday on COM
plant made by Stolzenau. The complaint
says that Koeling is running fake
insurance game and a confidence scheme.
Keeling was released on 81 900 bonds.
The scheme of insurance put forth by
the Home and Fireside Protective League
of America is unique. Membership in the
league according to Stolzenau, costs So.
The dues are - cents a week. Here are
some of the promises which are made to
prospective members:
If after one years membership in the
league a member is married he is to be
paid $500.
For the first three children born of
such a marriage, provided dues are kept
up. the parents are to receive $500.
If twins are born the couple is to get
$50.
If tripIets are born the parents are to
get 5000.
If quadruplets are born the parents are
to get 5000
On the death of a member in good
standing his heirs are to receive $500.
Many Inducements.
Many other inducements were helu out
to prospective members, it is said.
The Home and Fireside Protective
League of America was organized in
January last. Koeling. who is the father
of triplets himself, and who organized
the league, says it has gone out of the
business and that no business was done
after he was informed by an attorney
that the buiness was not in the pale of
the Illinois statute.
StolZenau. who makes the complaint,
alleged that he was engaged by Koelng
to act as general agent for the league in
Iowa He says he deposited $50 in cash
with Koeling as a guaranty for the faith
full performance of his duties.
Koeling's alleged refusal to return this
deposit when Stolzenau was weary of the
work caused the arrest.
