25,OOO,OOO DEP0SITORS
IN BANKS OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 10-More
than %, 0000 900 deposit accounts are carried
on the books of the banks of all classes
of the United States and it's insular pos
sessions, according to statements con-
tanned in the annual report of Lawrence
o. Murray, comptroller of the currency,
laid before congress To-Day. The aggre-
gate deposits on April rs last were about
$14, 425, 523, 165 The sum of S5,67S 735, 379
represented savings deposited by 1884, SOS
depositors. The average rate of interest
paid by national banks on savings &C
counts was 3.34;. by state banks 81; mu-
tual savings 1856; stock savings 800; pri-
vate banks and loan ana trust companies
paying the same average rate, 3.4S per
cent.
Loans and discounts, United States
bonds and lawful money represented ap-
proximately 20 per cent of the aggregate
resources of national banks and like
proportion of liabilities is represented by
capital, surplus and profits and individual
deposits. The comptroller figures out
that assuming the character. of bonds
owned by national banks is in accordance
with the requirements or the act of May
80, 1908. The amount is more than sufti-
cient as security for the aggregate emer-
gency currency, $500, 100000 authorized by
IndL law. Oh DOuOS anu OttlCl
similar securities by national banks Sep
TENDER 1 showed investments of this
character amounting to SS9S, 3SS, $40. The
interesting fact is DISCLOSED that $2OOVv,-
600 is in foreign government and other
bonds and securities.
Based on the latest returns, the comp
troller says the loaning power of the ma
tional banks has been increased as a re-
suit of the law of June 1906, to the extent
of g. per cent, although with surplus
twice as great as the eapitai or the banks
the authorized increase is 200 per cent.
Last April in round amounts the ma
tional banks held $4,S26, 10000 individual
deposits, savings banks So, 713.000,000 loar
and trust companies s.. $50, 100000, state
banks 81, 466, 900. 900 and private banks $143,-

posits reported by banks in the eastern

nearly famished for water. Sometimes.
in forced marches we were obliged 70
obey orders-haJ nothing at all. In
which to cook our raw rations.
We wet up a little in a pocket
handkerchief. then rolled it around a
gun stick and cooked fl that way
boiling the meat on the Goals.
We stayed in Kentucky until about

came back BY way OF Cumberland Gap.

him at a place called Bankers Creek,
on Nay IL. 1868.
Grant had been successful in bat

WITHOUT HOME OR MONEY
GIRL VISITS BARRACKS

Because she lost her job in an overall
factory, Bessie Underwood, an 1S-year-
old girl is now homeless.
According to the story she told the
matron at the police station Friday
night when she applied for shelter, she
has been living for the past year with
a married sister on Mills street.
On account of the fact that her eye
sight was bad and for that reason she
couldn't continue her work in the fac
tory to the satisfaction of her employers,
and she had no money to give her sister
she was turned out into the street Fri
day.
The girl spent the night at the police
station but left early in the morning to
see a doctor, so she said. When she left
the matron informed her that if she did
not get another position by night she
could return to the station house until
home for her could be found.

The other two, George w. Wickersham,
the attorney general, and Philander G.
Knox, secretary of state, spoke along
more general lines. the former. however,
emphasizing the necessity of federal pow
er, the increase of which has been so
much criticised. Secretary Knox confined
himself largely to the ever-increasing CO.

The dinner tonight was a brilliant af-
fair. Seated under the time-honored por-
trait of William Penn, and the emblazon-
ed coat of arms. of the state of Penn
sylvania, was the society's president. An
drew Carnegie. Next to him were Secre-
tary Knox, Secretary MacVeagh,s Attor-
ney General Wickersham and Gov. Edwin
