That Both Cook and Peary Reached
the North PoIs-Refusss to Add to
Previous Statements.

Washington, Oct. lin view of the
polar controversy, the board of direct
ors of the National Geographic Society
today held a special meeting to deter
mine the attitude it should assume
toward Cook upon the occasion of his
visit here next Sunday when he will
deliver lecture on his arctic exper-
fences. The decision was reached that
Cook, under the circumstances, could
not be recognized in an official way.
The decision applies also to Peary.
The conclusions of the board were
stated in an announcement by Prof
Willis Moore, president of the society,
in which 1t was urged that both Peary
and Cook lose no time in submitting
their observations, notes and data to a
competent scientific commission in the
United States The announcement
states:
Before the society can accept the
conclusions Of either Peary or Cook
that the north pole has been attained,
it will be necessary that the scientific
records and data of each explorer be
on research or by some body or COM
mission acceptable to the board. The
society takes this position not from
any distrust of the personal integrity
of either explorer, but because of the
many calculations that enter into de-
termination of the pole The National
Geographic Society urges Peary and
Cook to speedily submit all their OBJ
servations, notes and data to a COM
petent scientific commission in the I'm
tied States"

TARDY STATES MUST HUSTLE.
Otherwise They Will Lose Out on Con.
sus Bureau Appointments.

Washington, Oct. 1-Unless more
residents from the states in the far
west make application to the United
States civil service commission for the
examination to be held Oct. % for po-
sitions in the census bureau, those
states probably will fail to receive their
full share of the appointments, so it
was stated at the civil service commits
sion today.
AS the census act provides for the
distribution OF appointments among
the states and territories, in accord
ance with the law Of apportionment,
the civil service commission is anxious
to have applications from persons in
western states desiring appointments
in the census bureau, It is expected
that about 5000 appointments viii be
made from the examination to be held
in all the states and territories. These
appointments will be for terms of six
months to two years and will average
about one year in length.

MURRAY HAS A PLAN
Comptroller of Currency Would Secure
Cooperation Among Banks = Pro-
poses Standard Form Of Examina-
ton,
Especial correspondence.]

Especial Correspondence
Washington, Oct. 1.-Careful and de-
tailed cooperation between the federal
and state bank supervisory authorities
is proposed by Comptroller of the
Currency Lawrence O. Murray in a
letter which he has addressed to the
state authorities in charge of the
matter. For a long time Mr.. Murray
has had in mind the perfection of such
a project, and he believed, from his
studies Of the experience of the past,
that great benefits may be secured thru
it.
The fact that two classes of banking
institutions operate side by side in the
same settles, some under federal and
some under the state supervision. and
ion, has made it extremely difficult in
many cases to get at the truth about
the condition of institutions. The
same person or firm may be a
borrower at a state institution and a
national. The national bank examiner,
unable to determine the extent of the
liability to the state bank, may be mis-
led into supposing that paper is per-
fectly safe. when if he knew the aggre-
gate of the borrowers obligations he
would be moved to insist on steps
toward liquidation
More Accurate Check.
Therefore the comptroller has pro
posed to the state authorities, that If
they have no means for detailed study
of lists Of borrowers in various locali-
ties, they proceed to acquire them. In
this cooperation between the state and
national authorities would be of es-
pecial value. Only by such joint action
would 1T be possible to get at the ac-
curate facts about borrowers financial
conditions. But with complete lists of
borrowers in each district, from both
state and national banks, available for
the use of both classes of examiners
accurate conclusion could be reached
concerning the reliability of all bor-
rowers. With such co operation, more
over, the possibility of shifting funds
and securities among banks, in antici-
patton of examination. would be les
sened, balances due back and forth
among banks could be compared and
analyzed, and in general much more
accurate check could be maintained
against any possible collusion of execu-
tives to mislead the examiners.
Conference Would be Beneficial.
There have been good many dem
onstrations, in actual experience, of the
need of such cooperation So far as
possible the state authorities. in vari-
Gus states have co-operated with the
national supervisory authorities III
adopting Identical dates for examine
tion of banks; but this frequently inn
possible because some of the states
provide for different number of ex-
aIninations per annum sometimes
greater and sometimes lesser-than the
federal authorities impose.
The comptroller believes that if al
the state supervisory authoritie:
would come to Washington for confer.
ence with the national department
much benefit would result from the ex.
change of ideas. He has in mind the
development, if possible, of a standard
form of examination and report for al
banks, under whatever supervision
may later be worked out.
