NOT TO BECOME STATE BANKS,
Report About Oklahoma Institutions Denied
by Deputy Controller of Currency.

Washington. Aug. 2.-T. P. Kane. Deputy Con-
troer of the Currency, said to-day that the state
ment that large number of national banks IN
Oklahoma had informed the Controller of their in
tention surrender their national charters and
enter the state banking system, because of the
opinion rendered by the Attorney General that they
lawfully avail themselves of the state guar
antee law, IN accord with the facts.
There about $40 national banks in the State
of Oklahoma said Mr. Kane, "oniy fffty-seven of
whom entered into the guarantee scheme. On Au-
gust last these 1f:y-seven banks notified
that they must withdraw from the agreement So
far replies have been received from thrty-three Of
them. Twenty-seven have Informed the Controller
that they have notified the State Banking Board
of their desire to withdraw from the guarantee
agreement. and have indicated their inten-
tion to surrender their national charters and re-
organize as state banks and two only have thus
far actually gone into voluntary liquidation for
that purpose
Replies have been received from 1S4 OF the 253
banks that have not entered into the agreement
4 majority of them state that they had no inten-
ton of doing SO, they were not in sympathy
with the movement. One national bank recently
chartered stated that its purpose in converting from
state bank 10 the national system was to escape
the requirements OF the guarantee law.

WANTS L. 1. R. R. TO CONTINUE BOAT.
P. S. C. Asked to Have Service Between
Long Island City and Pier 8.

The statement of President Ralph Peters Of the
Long Island Railroad that the Annex ferry service
between Long Island City and Pier 8, East River,
would be discontinued October ] has brought
forth a protest from Louis Windmdller. who has
asked the Public Service Commission to induce Mr..
Peters continue the service. In his letter the
commission MIR. Windmiler SAYS:
When the Annex boat stops running there will
be longer any means for passengers reac
any point in Manhattan south of 14th street. and
the Long Island people will be placed at a disad-
vantage against persons in New Jersey who live
on the lines of the Erie, Lackawanna. PENNSYLVANIA
and New Jersey Central railroads which all con
meet by downtown ferries with the southern end of
Manhattan That the Annex boat does not paw as
Mr. Peters says correctly. is largely due the in
frequency and uncertainty of the service. Only a
single boat the Sycamore, makes the trip now
twice in the morning and three times In the after
noon intervals of hour. We should not be
compelled to resort to the 34th street ferryboats
which during rush hours already indecently
crowded
At its meeting yesterday the commission issued
a complaint order addressed TO President Peters d-
rscting MIN to answer within ten days.
