of his car Monday night while it was
travelling around the curve at Nine

at st. Vincent's hospital. While his
injuries are not serious they are very
painful and it will probably be several
days before he will be able to get

CONSERVATION MOVEMENT.

1t is announced that a more or less
complete inventory of the nations re-
sources has been taken and that the
national conservation commission will
meet in Washington Dec. 1 to consider
the material gathered during the past
six months. After the results have been
put in tangible shape the commission
will hold a joint meeting with the gov
ernors of states and territories, during
which the inventory will be discussed
and the report to the president formu-
lated.
Interest in the work of the conserva-
ton commission has been growing ever
since the meeting last May, and the
various committees are said to have
brought together the most useful col
lection of facts about the material
things on which the national Industry
and progress are based that has ever
been assembled at any one time
II has always seemed to the people of
this country that the resources of the
United States are limitless, but the re-
port of the commission will doubtless
show that the end of some of them is in
sight unless they are husbanded. There
has been ruthless slaughter of timber
for many years past, but the waste can
be stopped and trees planted to make
good the loss. With coal it is different.
When the mines are worked out the
fuel question will become intensely
acute. Fortunately it will be a good
many years hence before this happens.
Yet it is well to know how much is in
sight and how long it will probably last.
The report of the commission will en-
brace everything upon which data could
be secured and viii suggest possible
measures of reform. The time is ripe
for movement Of this kind.

EARLY SACRAMENTAN
WOULD BE AMERICAN
RATHER THAN LORD
Sacramento Beef

A dispatch comes from London with the
rews that the committee of privileges of
the house of lords has admitted the claim
of Albert Kirby Fairfax, Nirginian, to
the title and estates of Lord Fairfax of
Cameron. which may bring to the mind of
many early CalifornianS the history Of
Charles F. Fairfax.
He came to California in 1S49. and for
several years was a prominent figure in
public life in Sacramento. He stood in
direct line of succession as the tenth Lord
Fairfax.
When the title became a derelict with
the death of its holder and the absence
of an heir, representatives of the family
and of tn peers sought Charles F. Fairfax.
They found him here and told him of the
great name and estate which had de-
seconded to him. Fairfax gave the answer
that he was an American citizen. and
would rather remain one than become
Scottish lord.
Unlocked for as such a decision might
be. and as disturbing to British ideas. it
was FairfaX's deliberate choice to re-
nounce his birthright altogether and to
remain an American and nothing could
move him to change his determination.
In 1854 Fairfax was speaker of the as
sembly in this state. After that he was
clerk of the supreme court for five years
In 1868 he was chairman of the California
delegation TO the Democratic national con-
vention in New York
He is described in the "reminiscences

pRODDING THE DIRECTORS.

Comptroller Of the Currency Murray
has sent out a set of questions to ma
tional bank directors in an endeavor to
find out how much they know about
the business of the bank with which
they are connected. There has been
considerable criticism of the comptroller
by bankers all over the country. but
that his position is correct cannot be
doubted, in view of the following Wash
ington dispatch:
That there are fully l,OOO banks where
irregularities, not Isolated, but extending
over long periods, exist is the startling
statement that is made at the treasury
and in order to hammer these institu-
tons into shape il is believed that in
sisterce upon the duties of directors is in
diSpenSable. The COMPTROLLER does not
hesitate to assert that in almost innumer-
able instances evil in national bank man
aSement has been due 10 the complaisance
OF directors who paid no attention TO the
affairs OF the bank or who confesSedlV had
no intelligent understanding of banking
having been placed on the board to which
they being either at the instance of ex-
ecutiVe otficers who wanted lay figures
they could manipulate or because their
names carried weight in the community
where the given bank was situated. There
is on file in the bureau of currency an
immense NUMBER OF cases Of the sort IL
is alleged that had the comptroller had
Information as to the exact relation of
directors TO their institutions II would
have been possible for him to choose his
course with much greater wisdom in de-
termining whether 10 allow given instI-
tudons to continue or to compel them to
close.
If we are not TO have bank deposits
guaranteed, the next best thing is for
the proper officials to see that the law
is enforced to the letter. and public SEN
timent will probably be found on the
side of the comptroller 10 make the bank
directors do their whole duty. II is fair
TO presume that the Irregularities
mentioned in the Washington dispatch
are comparatively trifling. otherwise
the usual notices would be posted on the
doors and the institutions closed.
