Truth Kept From Mrs. Sutton.


Truth Kept From Mrs. Sutton.
81 have the deepest sympathy for Mrs.
Sutton. as have all of US here. 1t is per-
haps this regard for her feelings which
has made some of those concerned timid
about commenting to her about her sons
standing while at school and his actions
on the night in question.
a very important incident happened
only few weeks before the shooting At
that time Maj Fuller who was tempo
rarily in command. being Ill in the hos
pital, was aroused from his sleep by pistol
shots. Dressing hurriedly, he traced them
to the camp and found Lieut.. Sutton
standing with a revolver in his hand
which he had been firing into the ground
at the feet of some of the other student
officers trying to make them dance in
! cowboy fashion. Maj. Fuller took the
revolver away and Lieut.. Sutton was
officially placed under arrest for ten days.
He was quoted by his student officers
as having said that some time he was
going out in hurry and that when he
did he would take sombody with him.
THE day after Sutton's death Maj.
Fuller, in discussing the affair, told me
that Sutton had made a remark at the
dinner table to young lady that it was
the height of his ambition to kill man
some day."

HEALTH THE MAIN TOPIC.
Bethesda Citizens Association DaN
cusses Drainage and tuberculosis.


That the Bethesda Citizens Association
is determined to preserve the reputation
for health and low mortality rate of that
section Of Maryland was evidenced last
night at the regular monthly meeting of
the body when the subject of drainage
was discussed at length. 1t was deter
mined to have all stagnant pools in the
district drained and a committee was
appointed to confer with the Washington
Railway and Electric Company regard
ing the crossing Of the old Glen Echo line
near Somerset. which. it is said. inter-
feres with the proper drainage of the road
at that point. The railway company Will
be requested to remove it's tracks if there
is no intention to resume the operation
of the line.
The isolation of INDECENT TUBERCULOSIS
patients at the county almshouse was
also discussed. DIR. L. w. Glazebrook ana
DIR. John L. Lewis gave the ASSOCIATION
some interesting and startling facts
about the danger of tubercular ln1ectloh.
The county commissioners notified the
association. through s. D. Caldwell tnal
the Metropolitan Southern Railway, now
constructing a line from Chevy Chase
Lake to Georgetown, had agreed 10 cross
the River road at proper and safe grace
and to macadamize the highway for loo
feet on either side of the crossing.

Glasgow's Population Decreasing.

From the westminster Gazette.
The chief sanitary inspector of Glas-
gov says in his annual report that there
was decrease of 1.132 in the number of
occupied houses in 1908 as compared with
the total in 1907. representing a popula-
ton of 5.551 persons. They had for the
first time in Glasgow's recent history
taken a step backward with regard to
their total population. Since 1s73-when
the increase Of population was only
twenty-three over the number OF persons
residing in the city in 1S72-Glasgow had
steadily forged ahead at the average rate
of $3.50 persons added to the population
annually until this last year. No ade-
quate answer could be given as to
whittier the people had gone. The total
actual loss for the year 1905 seems to
have been over $500 persons.

NatinnaI a savinrs Banks.

/ The American bankers association
win 10 doubt adopt tire report Of I'll
federal legislative committee in favor
Of law permitting national banks 10
organize savings departments with seq
regated capital N other words, the
federal government should prohibit ma
tional banks from conducting savings
bank business except in manner to
make in independent Of the commercial
business Of the bank. This Is good as
fsr az 1t goes. ANY federal legislation
on the subject should 90 further and
provide for an investment Of the say
ngs IN accordance with the laws az the
several states relating to the invest
ments of state savings banks. The plan
presented by Pierre JAY as president Of
sthe national association Of state bank
supervisors further provides that. in
case Of the failure of a national bank
having savings department, the saw
ings department, the savings depositors
shall have equal claim with other eredi-
tors of the bank to its commercial as
sets if the assets Of the savings depart
ment are not equal to their claims.
This also seems TO be reasonable pro-
vision, and 1t IL to be hoped that the
plan as thus outlined will be approved
by the bankers association and sent on
to Washington with the active inlu-
ence of the association behind IL.
1t was never the intention Of the
Washington government to authorize
national banks To engage IN THE col
lection and administration Of small saw
ings. The purpose was to make them
commercial banks exclusively. But the
terms of the law are very general in re-
gard to deposits, and many national
banks have recently taken advantage az
the fact to open departments for small
time or sarings deposits. They have
been doing this not only IN states um.
provided with savings bank systems.
but III states like Connecticut which
do provide ample savings systems,
Their savings deposits are now running
into the hundreds of millions az dollars.
This Is all right enough from one
standpoint; anything that achieves

ness to established state savings svs.
TENS It ID All wrong. The savings de-.
posits are thrown into the general bank
ing fund and used In commercial dis
counts and otherwise as commercial de-
posts are used, and are Thus subjected
to the risks Of commercial banking,
which should not be allowed. States
that have no savings systems ought To
insist upon the proposed plan Of federal
restriction merely for the proper protec-
lion Of savings depostors; and states
that have such systems should insist
upon IL in fairness 10 their own savings
banks, which have been and should be
placed under close restriction in the
matter Of investment If under The cen
ditions proposed national banks want
to 50 into the savings business, well
and good. They may thus be the means
of establishing ample savings facilities
