PRELIMINARY WORK FOR FIN
ANGLERS MEETING ENDED

TENDERED TAFT
Federal Legislative Committee Re-
ports Adversely on Matter of Guar
antee Banks-Uniform Bills
of Ladng Recommended
IBy Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Kings of finance
and heads of trust and savings lnstl-
tutions by hundreds rubbed elbows To-
day with minor officials from the Varl-
Gus banks in the preliminaries Tor the
convention OF the American Bankers
association, which Will convene oIlileeA
ly tomorrow.
One of the principal meetings TO-DAY
was a conference on the question OF
uniform bills of lading, subject OF
deep import to the bankers.
Bills of lading are often used as
basis of credit by the customers OF tlle
banks, and the bankers are anxious
that they be placed on safe basis, so
that as negotiable instruments they
NAV be handled by banks without RISK.
The bankers already have approved
of bills of lading authorized by the IN
terstate commerce commission anu
seek to establish it by law in the diff
ferent states.
A resolution calling on the delegates
to urge in their several states the pass
age of a uniform bill of lading was
adopted.
Another resolution adopted recon-
nlended to the main convention tnat
congress be petitioned to pass a federaI
uniform bill of lading act.
Disapproves Guarantee Banks
The federal legislative committee de-
cided to report adversely on guaranty
banks and against postal savings
banks substituting in place Of these
measures a recommendation for the
adoption of a savings bank department
in national banks.
The savings bank plan for national
banks contains proposition for tne
segregation of the assets of the lnstl-
tutions and limiting investment for the
savings bank to the highest grade OF
securities, including farm loans.
The idea also Is to reduce the reserve
which must be held by national banks
so that the savings banks would be on
equality with state savings banks.
Members Of the committee believe
that should this action be taken by the
committee the federal currency com
mission would adopt the plan.
Plans of the convention include a
hall and a reception In honor of Presi-
dent Taft.
The annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Supervisors of
state Banks was held today. Pierre
Jay. president, delivered his annual ad-
dress.
THE committee recommended that a
standing law committee be created to
assist in carrying out the legislative
policies of the association.
Banquet Is rendered
The bankers of Chicago rendered a
BANQUET to the executive council Of the
American Bankers association tonight.
Speaker Cannon in an informal talk
said
.''rhis is a government by the people.
The people have their chance to speak
every two years. The government is
no better nor no worse than the peo-
pIe demand There must always be a
large number of people who follow a
certain leadership, yet disagree with 1t
in order to make the present-day form
of civilization"

SAYS WHITNEY HAS
NO ARCTIC RECORDS

NEW YORK, Sept. 18th following
received in this city:
Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Cape
Ray, N. F., Sept. 12.-'T have no
knowledge of Cooks having given
Whitney any records. There are no
Cook records on the Roosevelt.
(Signed) 'PEARY.'
In Copenhagen DR.. Frederick A.
Cook declared he had given to Harry
Whitney, the wealthy young big game
hunter, part of the records of his OBJ
.servations on his return from the north
pole to Etah, Greenland.
"Dr. Cook assumed that Whitney
would bring his records to this coun-
try. Commander Peary on his return
from the pole, year after Dr. Cook,
picked up Whitney at Etah and was
bringing him south on the Roosevelt
when they met the relief ship JEANNE,
to which Whitney was transferred to
continue his hunting for few weeks
in Baffin bay"
1t was confidently expected by DR..
Cooks supporters here that Mr.. Whit
ney had turned these records over to
Commander Peary and that the latter
would bring them to this country with
him.
WIN DC EShCO
While it is certain that Commander
Peary will receive a notable reception
on his arrival in this city, all plans
are merely tentative as yet, as nothing
definite is known as to when he will
reach here.
One report states that the Roosevelt
will be ready to leave Battle Harbor
before the end of this week, while
another states that it can hardly de-
part from there before the end of the
week.
In any event New York expects the
liveliest weeks in many years when
the rival explorers come. DR.. Cook is
due September 81 and four days later
the Hudson-F Fulton celebration, and in
this II is expected the polar argument
will be forced to a conspicuous position.
The i'll feeling between the more ar
dent Supporters of Commander Peary
and DR.. Cook is characterized by much
bitterness and harshness.
Many of them are urging the pubica-
ton of accusations and recriminations
and the sight promises to create much
enduring unpleasantness.
