BANKERS OPPOSE
POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK PROPOSAL
State Laws, Stringently Regu-
lating Savings Banks, Find
Much Favor.

Chicago, Sept. 18.-"Our years ex-
p~erienee has proved clearly that the
bankers of the country are united in
that they do not regard a postal a
inss bank system necessary; in fact,
hold that such legislation would result
in injury to the American people,"
This is the substance Of the report of
the postal savings bank committee,
presented by it's chairman, Lucius
Ieter, at the meeting today Of the saw
ings bank section Of the American
Banking association.
The statement follows a review OF
the work accomplished by the com
mittee since the convention at Denver
last September. The report continues:
W. find that the bankers are en-
tirely alive to their responsibilities,
and while condemninG the idea OF
postal savings banks, they are willing
to cooperate actively in the enact
ment of laws. both national and state,
that shall make for better savings ia
~cilities and for better banking methods.
See Change in Sentiment.
THE members OF your committee are
inclined to think that at this date we
can say that there has apparently been
a great change in sentiment through
out the country in reference to the ad-
visibility of passing postal savings
banks legislation. In other words, the
campaign of education which we
started has to a considerable extent
had the desired effect in that it has
caused multitudes of people to study
carefully a question to which they had
heretofore given only a superficial at
tention.
w are hoping that the question will
be turned over to the monetary COM
mission, and fully believe that in the
final pnnnrf pf shat cn,nrnfccinu Mill
come promises for a future develop
ment of American banking that will
assure all the people hat legislators
and bankers, working together, can
take care of the banking needs OF the
American people,"
The report suggested that so long as
the question of postal savings banks is
in h public mind, a committee should
be Kept in charge of his work.
Savings Bank Day.
Problems which confront savings
banks the country over were considered
today by the delegates of the savings
bank section Of the association.
This section is considered to be one
of the most important of the divisions,
and its session, in addition to listening
to the welcoming addresses and the an
nual address of the section president,
H. Johnson, took up the report
OL SldilulnS committees on savings Ddlk
laws and postal savings banks.
Outside of the business sessions OF the
preparation was made by
the delegates to attend the chief social
of the gathering, the presiden-
tial reception and ball tonight.
Coincident with the meeting of the
bank section of the Bankers
association, the annual meeting of the
secretaries of state bankers associa-

brick. The horses became frightened
and reared in front OF the machine. but
the chauffeur avoided a disastrous col
lision by swinging his car into a ditch.

against the front of the seat. She sus-
tanned injuries to the abdomen, which
brought about the crisis of a disease
from which she was a sufferer.
Mrs. Morris was the only member
of the party injured. The machine
vas only slightly damaged.

WOMEN ENGAGE
IN FATAL COMBAT

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Mrs. Julia Tripp
was killed and Mrs. Jacob SilVers, of
New York, received wounds which later
proved fatal as the result of a pistol
and knife battle between the two wom-
en- in Mrs. Trips apartments at 5609
Prairie ave-, a fashionable residence
district of this city. Mrs. Silvers was
q sisterinlaw of Mrs. Trip. 1t is said
her husband left her about three
months 6 because of her curious &C
tons. Mrs. Trip is the wife of a SUI
pcrintendent of a manufacturing firm
of this city. There were 10 bullet
wounds and one cut on the body OF
Mrs. Trip, while Mrs. Silvers suffered
from a bullet wound in the chest and
several knife slashes. Only n re-
volVer was found in the apartments
n eight empty shells and two car
tridges were found. showing that the
revolver was emptied and reloaded dur
ing the fierce struggle. The furnishings
Of the apartments were in disorder n
in every room were evidences Of the
desperate struggle waged between the
two women.
Mrs. Tripp was fully dressed, but
Mrs. SilVers was in her underClothins
and night gown. Mrs. Silvers had been
staying at the Trip home for about a
month and the two women are said TO
have had frequent quarrels, principally
over the division of the household du-
ties. They a gone out about l o'clock
in the afternoon and returned shortly
afterward. Tt had been Mrs. SilverS'
custom to take a nap in the afternoon,
and it is evident she had prepared for
this as usual. The appearance almost
simultaneously of the two women from
different entrances TO the apartment,
each screaming for help and the knife
wounds suffered by both, FASTENED the
DOlice to advance the theory that there
was a third person in the tragedy in
stead of its being simply between the
two women or a murderer and suicide.
This Was later diSnrOYen-
