vERIFIcATIoN OF AssEsTs.
Personal Inspection by Bank Exam
liners Discontinued by Controller.

The controller of the currency is today
sending letters to national bank ex-
aminers advising them that the vertical
ton of assets or collateral OF a national
bank held on deposit elsewhere must be
made by correspondence.
Heretofore the local examiner in each
case has been asked to verify the bonds
or securities deposited with "A bank in HIS
district. and has been allowed a fee for
so doing. 1t would appear, however, that
there Is no more necessity for personal
verifcation of these securities. than Of
bank balances, and the collection of this
fee has always been annoying to the
banks.
The controller has therefore decided to
change the method and require verifica-
ton by correspondence only. and has &C
cordingly issued instructions to the ex-
aminers.

CURTAILING THE OUTPUT.
German Spinners to Prevent Rise in
Price of Raw Cotton.

BERLIN, November 9.-The Association
of German Cotton spinners today issued a
circular to the mills urging the curtail-
ment on yarn production as an absolute
necessity I'm order to prevent the further
rise in the price of raw cotton and the
exhaustion of supplies of raw cotton to-
ward the end of the cotton year. A GER
tain curtailment will occur in January
through the enforcement of the new law
restricting the hours of labor for women
in the factories, but the association re-
CARDS this inadequate to meet with the
requirements. The spinners also must
agree to systematic restriction Of the
production of yarn similar to the method
employed in. the United States, England
and other countries.

MAX BASS DEAD


Nas Immigration Man. For DakOtas

Sioux Falls-The news Of the death
If Hon. Max Bass, which occurred at

Throughout South Dakota, where Mr..
Bass had many warm personal frienis
and thousands Of settlers who rem m
Der him as the guiding spirit In direct
ing their destinies on the boundless
prairies Of the Dakotas in the eaily
eighties. Mr.. Bass was practically the
commissioner Of immigration for Da-
kota Territory for several years
When the two states were carved Gu,
he came to South Dakota with the
then Commissioner of Immigrant n.
Hon. p. F. Mcclure, and became a
citizen of Pierre, from which point
during Mr.. McClure's administi at on
Of the Office, he directed affairs When
the Hon. Frank Haggerty. then of
Aberdeen, was made ccmmiss oner,
the Office was moved to that city with
Mr.. Bass In charge. and some OF the
most effective work ever done for the
development OF new state, was d.
rected by Mr.. Bass. At the time Of b S
death he was the commissioner OF i'm
migration for the Great Northern rail-
road, and in that capacity 1t may be
truthfully said, was able to give North
Dakota, through the aid Of the rail-
road he represented, the great inf x
Of immigration the state has enjoyed
during the past fifteen years. 1t Is in
Iced a calamity to the western states

his particular line of work stricken in
The prime OF life, for there are yet
vast sections to be peopled in the west,
and he, above all others, had his pans
fully matured to bring out the peo-
pie and to demonstrate to them their
ability to make money and to secure
'or themselves and their famil'es a
competence. Speaking Of TIE funeral

Dakota. the general passenger agent of
the Great Northern railroad says: Il
never say such a gathering at any
similar occasion. 1t seemed as n each

But there seemed to be deeDer feeling

not only good fellow, but he was
