ables a depositor to know definitely
that what he puts in a bank he will
get out, has been one of the remark
able features of the campaign.
The poll taken by the bankers
committee has had the effect of
bringing about a meeting of bankers
in Iowa at a state conference to be
held in Des Moines October 22, when
the matter of presenting to the peo-
pie this question of insuring bank
deposits will be considered
John P. O'Malley. president of the
Peoples Saving bank at Perry, Iowa.
has taken up the matter. In a letter
to Judge Wade he says:
After comforting with numerous
bankers of Iowa, it has been thought
advisable to hold a conference of the
Democratic bankers of the state of
Iowa, at the Savery house clubrooms
in Des Moines, Iowa, on October %,
1908, at 1 o'clock p. M. to formulate
plans for the successful presentation
to the people of Iowa the question of
insuring bank deposits, that the
question of insuring bank deposits
is one that is receiving careful atten-
tion by the people is without ques-
ton.
"As you are aware, il is a ques-
tion of the postal savings bank or
the insurance of bank deposits, and
which is preferable. 1t is without
question that the insurance of bank
deposits by the banks is far prefer
able to the postal savings PROPOSE
ton.
That the matter may be properly
presented and that the Democratic
bankers of the state may give ex-
preston as to their idea, it was deem
ed advisable to have conference. $"

Shortly after The Sentinel went to
press yesterday afternoon he foilow-
ing message was received:
"Green River, Utah, Oct. 24, pm.
"The Daily sentinel:
Charles w. abine, brakeman on
extra freight train No. 11S6, west
bound, was killed at Descret switch,
twelve miles west of here at LAS
O'Clock this morning. He threw the
switch for the train to enter and then
Jumped on the pilot of the engine.
His foot slipped and he fell under the
wheels of the engine. Both legs were
crushed off and an arm was mangled
and crushed almost to pieces. Death
was almost instantaneous. Sabine
was well known on the road. The
remains left here this afternoon on
No. g for Grand Junction. The train
was in charge of Conductor Phalen
and Engineer Lopaz."
The victim of the horrible accident
had been employed on the Rio Grande
Western but a few months yet was
well known among the railroad men
and had many friends outside of rail-
road circles in Grand Junction, where
he made his home He was mem-
ber of the order of Railway Train
men. Prior to coming to Grand
Junction he was employed on Cali
fOrnia road. He was AZ years of age.
His wife died number of years ago.
He is survived by one daughter who
resides in Los Angeles.
The remains are in charge of I'm

relatives are heard from.
The accident is one of the most
terrible that has occurred on this end
of the Rio Grande Western in many

VOTE IS TAKEN
AMONG BANKERS
Out Of Total Of 2,229 National and State Bankers
Over 1900 Express Favor For and Confidence
in the Bank Guaranty

The Democratic national commit
tee, through its bankers committee,
has taken a poll of bankers in the
Middle West, who, by a surprisingly
large majority, declare in favor of
the Democratic plan for the guaranty
of bank deposits in preference to the
Republican plan adopted by the Re-
publican national convention favor
ing postal savings banks.
The poll was made without regard
to the political affiliations of bank
ers, whose names were taken from
the National Bankers Directory, and
who are both state and national
bankers. The replies represent the
preferences OF Republicans as well
as Democrats.
The result of the poll, as announc-
ed by Judge Martin j. Wade, who re-
ceived the replies, was as follows:
For the guaranty of bank
deposits -. ,345
For postal savings banks. 551
Non-committal ...... 1888
Total number of replies rec
ceived from bankers 2,229
The replies show that the majority
of bankers favor the guaranty of
bank deposits. This Democratic plank
for bank regulation has already been
approved by the Republicans in their
state conventions in Kansas and
South Dakota, and is favored by the
rank and file of the party through
out the West. 1t follows that it is
equally popular among the men who
manage and direct banks.
The effort of Republican managers
to check the tide in favor of the
guaranty of bank deposits has failed

ment in favor of this plan, which en-

WILL GATHER DATA
ON FLOW OF RIVERS
Railroads Will Unite With the
United States Geological
Survey
Compilation of Readings Of
Gauges VIII Be of Vast Value
to the Public Carriers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-Director
George Otis Smith of the United States
geological survey has invited officers of
the leading railroads of the country to
conference on a cooperative plan by
which it is expected the railroads will
be able to save thousands of dollars a
year. The plan also contemplateS most
effective assistance to the government
on the part of railroads. The time and
the place of the proposed conference
are to be agreed on later.
The scheme, which has already been
approved by number of the engineers
of the big lines. is one for the gather
ing of facts as to the amount of water
flowing in the rivers of the country
under certain conditions and in differ
ent periods of the year Naturally the
railroads have been chief sufferers
from floods in the basins where their
tracks lie. They have suffered not only
from damage to their own property,
but they have been sued by other corr
porations and private citizens on the
ground that their bridges and cufverts
were the causes of food damage.
The railroad authorities have felt
that many judgments against the roads
might not have been rendered if they
had been able to produce authentic fig
ures on floods. But they have not been
able to do this The national conserva-
tion commission has been advised of
the proposed plan and whatever results
come from it viii undoubtedly be con-
Sidered by the commission at its Joint
meeting with the governors of the
states, or their representatives, here
next December. {.

road companies establish gauges on

their bridges and culverts and appoint
some of their employees to take daily
readings. The survey agrees to have
its experts make frequent visits to
these stations and take actual current
meter measurements so that O rating
table of each channel will be available.
For many years the survey has been
studying the difference in the flow of
rivers in various basins in the country
AT present it is engaged in putting the
information gained by it's study into
shape for the use of the national con-
servation commission, together with
other information which it is gathering
especially for the inventory of the
country.s natural resources that the
commission is preparing.
The survey has been unable to exend
it's observations to many regions where
the information would be of vital inn
portance because it lacks funds. The
cooperation of the railroads would
permit the survey to cover many other
regions.
The expense the railroads under
this arrangement would be trifiing. the
survey authorities say, because the
roads could designate men already on
their pay rolls, such as draw tenders.
tankmen or water station engineers to
take the daily readings On the other
the cost of daily supervision of the
gauges. it would be able TO carry on
the more technical parts of the under
taking. =
The information which the railroads
will obtain if this plan is put into op-
Grafton is of immense value to them
The surveys figures on floods have
always been accepted by the courts as
prima facie evidence. If the belief of
the railroad authorities is well founded
their cooperation with the survey
enabling it to extend its operations to
their fields will result in big savings to
them.
The idea of cooperation as to floods
originated with the engineering depart
merits of the railroads themselves. Rep
resentatives of these departments of a
number of roads held a conference with
representatives of the survey in Chi
cago last June, and at that time the
survey agreed to interview the proper
railroad authorities concerning a basis
of co-opera ton.
The survey has further suggested to
the railroads that they supply it with
all information they may have on hand
concerning the character of the various
drainage areas above their bridges
Some of the roads have collected. at
great expense, a large amount of val
made of high value to all the railroads

piled. This material would also con-
