he and tax him to make them so.
In short, the reckless and inCompr-
tent people who arc now either cx-
cludcd from the banking business, or
held in check by the distrust which a
discriminating public feels towards
them, would make the pace to which
everybody else N the banking bnsi-
ness would be Obliged to conform.
$40 the objection that his climina-
ton Of character as a factor in the
acquisition OF deposits must tend to
promote a reckless banking, the re-
piy II made that the bankers will be
deferred from rccklcSsn, IS by fear OF
losing their money. This reply miss
cs the point. All men arc not de-
tered from rccklcssncss from fear Of
losing their money, but reckless men
are now, as a rule, kept ont Of the
banking business by the unwilling
ness Of the public to cn,ruSt money to
their care.
''Ihc hardest competitor in any
line Of business is the incompetent or
dishonest nan who does anything to
get business. Such people get into
the banking business even now, but
their number and influence iur mis-
chief would be great; Increased if
they were backed by unlimited credit.
In other lines there may be SOME

Defects OF the Deposit Guaranty
Schemei

The most logical and incisive
analysis OF n phase Of the Bryan
Haskell scheme for making everybody
happy and contentcd by an enforced
guaranty oi bank deposits. comes
from the pen Of George T.. Roberts,
formerly director of the New York
mint, and now president Of the Com
mcrcial Bank Of Chicago.
Following are some Of Mr.. Roberts
comment on the subject:
The guaranty Of deposits i, a crude

SOMEONE DONE
ON GRANITE DEAL
BUT WHETHER CITY, OR RAIL
WAY WHICH HAULED STUFF,
ISN'T PLAIN.

That someone has been given q poor
accounting In regard to the crushed
stone and granite delivered to the
park department on Belle Isle was
emphaucally brought out in the hear
Ing OF the claims and accounts and
parks committees OF the council, Tues
day afternoon. But who got the worst
OF 1t was as great mystery at the
end OF the session as at the start.
Ten perspiring aldermen In their
shirt sleeves listened TO conflicting
testimony for an hour and a half, and
then adjourned to await further tes-
timony which Is expected TO be sim
ilarly conflicting. The only joyful in
cident was the posting of the figures
on baseball score board opposite.
which showed that Detroit was win
ming.
Park Commissioner Breitmeyer's
assistants swore that they had meas
ured the crushed stone and granite as
1t came in from the Michigan Port
land Cement Paving Co.'s quarries In
Charleston, and had allowed bills only
for the yardage as shown by their
wagons.
John d. Mckay, OF the Grand Trunk,
stated that the cars could not hold as
much stone as the bills showed.
Paul G. Heinze, of the stone COM
pany, said that he had managed to
beat the railroad company on freight
bills.
The freight bills showed that the
railroad had charged the same car as
being of various sizes when billing
for different shipments. 1t was also
shown that the measurements of the
cars as to yardage varied with the
weights. Aid Freiwald explained this
by saying that the stone probably
packed and settled in course OF travel
and then took up more room when re-
loaded into wagons.
Monday afternoon the various men
who have measured the cars will be
called in to testify.
The claims and accounts committee
also heard ID. j. Campau, who wants
$1,60876 for payments on the Fair
view pumping station contract. None
OF the special assessments made In the
territory benefited to pay for the sta
ton have been collected. but Campau
wants his money from the city Just
the same. The corporation counsel
will give his opinion on 1t.

The Man and the Lion.

Mr.. Roosevelt was out lion-hunting
with Barooba. a great hunter OF the
region about Lake Nyanza.
"Hist," whispered the native.
They dropped into the grass and a
big lion approached.
Shall shoot?" Mr.. Roosevelt whis-
pered.
Barooba looked around at him with
amazement and scorn.
Shoot" he asked. 'Heem be
alone!"
Mr.. Roosevelt did not understand
at the time what difference IL made
whether there was one lion or twenty;
but he tumbled a moment later when
Barooba darted from hiding, grabbed
the lion by the under jaw with his
left hand, tripped him up with his
right foot and hog-tied him In seven
seconds.
The former president removed his
cap.

Not only was the council session
of Tuesday evening the shortest Of
the year SO far. but 1t was the quiet
est. all the storm being outside.
An amendment to the districting or
dinance was passed by which new
precincts were added In the Fourth,

Of the Fourth ward lies north OF Eu-

A penalty clause was added to the
electric wiring ordinance.
A bill was received from the three
men who conducted the boiler inspec-
torship examination, charging 1925

than the aldermen looked for, and
II probably will not be paid until the
commission divulges the standings Of

ANNIE SMITHS STORY THAT

There are no new developments.
announced Justice JefrIes. Tuesday
afternoon, after a grand jury session
lasting less than an hour, with Annie
Smith as the only witness. II Is un-
derstood that Annie's testimony had
to do with the causes leading to her
flight from the city month ago and
the alleged efforts Of certain parties
to secure from her affidavits TO the ef-
feet that she was promised immunity
by Justice Jeffries II she would TESTIFY
against Smith, Hibbler and Newber-
ry. Assistant Prosecutor Louis w.
McClear was present on behalf or the
prosecuting attorney. while Matthew
Carney acted as official stenographer.
From the attitude Of Justice Jeffries
and Mr.. McClear II was apparent that
the session was not productive or any
great result. II was admitted that,
as yet, Annie's declaration that -FOUR
business men induced her to leave
the city, is unsupported. and unless
some corroborative evidence can be
secured, the investigation will hzzle
out.
Justice Jeffries and / are going to
hold a conference Friday and Will de-
eide then whether to go on with this
inquiry" said Mr.. McClear. In the
meantime the matter will rest"

Immediately after her arrest Few
days ago, McClear replied:

What are your intentions with re-
gard to Newberry and Hibbler?' was
asked.

the emphatic reply Il believe they
are guilty and they will be prosecuted

NOR SLAM HIM HANDSOME IN.
cipENTs or HIS RULE.

That the American soldiers who
were In the Philippines during the ad-
ministration OF William Howard Taft
as governor retain no love for their
former chief Is the assertion OF Phil
ippfne veterans In Detroit There are
quite number OF young men In the
city who were In the islands half
dosen years ago when Taft was in
charge. and the feeling among them
ID such az to indicate that he will get
rev votes from among them.
Taft never had any use for the sol
diers." says one returned veteran.
and he issued an order that soldiers
be barred from the Luneta. the fash
ionable parade and park of Manila.
There was nothing for Gen. Chat
fee. then In command, to do but to
carry out the order. But Chance was
a popular man with his army because
he always stood up for his men and
ne got around the order by calling
on the concert. When Gov. Taft drove
around In his carriage In the evening.
there were no soldiers on the Luneta.
but also. there were no bands.
When he called upon Gen. Chaffee
for an explanation. the latter merely
informed him that bandsmen are en-
listed men and were included In the
order. Taft was furious but took his
order back and the soldiers heard the
bands play after that"
Another matter which stirred the
soldiers was the Grafton case. The
troops always considered Taft q poll
ucian who played for the applause of
the F1liptnos and gave HIS countrymen
the worst Of II, and this case was TAX.

stance.

OF No. 226 Church-st., Highland Park
He had given an order to halt but
they came at him In the dark and,
knowing the danger from bolomen, he
shot and killed one.
The military officials offered to
turn him over to the civil authorities
for trial. but the civil Judge said It
was not necessary. Then Grafton was
given a military courtmartial and ac-
quilted. In spite Of this, the civil
Judge who had at first refused the
case. took 1t up again. presumably at
the order of the governor. and Graft
on was tried and convicted Of murder.
He was tried without a Jury and
given IL years imprisonment. The
soldiers raised funds and carried the
case to the United States supreme
court which freed him. 1t having been
shown that he was placed twice in
jeopardy for the same offenBe."
Burgeson was q soldier In the Twen-
ty-sixth infantry and served in the ISL
ands two years during the Taft re-
gime.
