FOR POSTAL BANKS
PRESIDENT TAFT's NEXT MEs- SAGE WILL ASK cGNoREss
 TO KEEP PARyY PLEDGE.
MONEY WOULD AID GOVERNMENT
By Placing the Interest at Less Than Two Per Cent, Mir. Taft Believes That No Harm Would Be Done to the Ordinary Banks.

Beverley, Mass. Aug. 27.--President Taft indicated in talks with callers that in his message to congress next December, he will strongly urge the early establishment of a postals say ings bank system. He will ask that the platform declaration of the Re publican party in favor of postal banks be fulfilled as speedily as possible.
 President Taft believes that several hundreds millions of dollars would be placed at the disposal of the govern ment through postal saving banks. It Is suggested that this money might well be employed in taking up the 00.0o0 900 or s700.00O, ,000 of govern ment two per cent bonds. which are outstanding and which have given much concern to the treasury depart ment officials. Already the two per cent bonds are selling below par and there Is fear of further depreciation in view of the three per cent issues which have been authorized and which soon may be placed on the market. The president believes that the postal banks would appeal to those timid persons who are afraid to trust the or dinary banks and who would rather get the two per cent or less interest, which the government would give, than to place the money in the regular savings banks where 1t would draw from three to four per cent interest each year.
 By placing the interest to be allowed by the postal banks at less than two per cent, Mir. Taft is convinced that no harm would be done to the ordinary banks of commerce, for discriminat- ing persons who now place their money in these banks and are appre- ciative of what these banks are doing for the community would not with draw money drawing high rate and place 1t under government care at half the interest offered by the ordinary savings banks.
 Secretary Meyer of the navy, for merly postmaster general, Is strong ly in favor of postal banks. He has given much thought and study to the subject and is convinced of it's i'm portance to the government. Idle funds would be placed at the disposal of the government at an exceedingly low rate of interest.

RETURNS
WIZARD OF FINANCE FAILS TO RECOVER HEALTH HY 4
 TRIP ABROAD.
HE IS STILL A VERY SICK MAN
Taken From Atlantic liner to He Home at Arden In His Private Car --Wlli Not Resume Work for Some Time Yet.

New York, Aug. 26.-Edward H.. HarrimaI., genius of finance, leader ot men and master builder of ra'fsads, came back to the United States while the financial world stood on it's tip toes in anxiety and expectancy. He came back as he left, on June l, lastr-- a sick. tired man, seeking health. Surrounded by his family and physi- clans at his magnificent, though un- completed summer home at Arden on the Hudson, he has begun the "after CUTS" which he needs after the ener- vating baths and dietetic treatment he underwent at the Austrian resort Bad Gastein. How long he will re- main in seclusion, how long 1t wiH be before he resumes the active direction of his vast railroad interests, depends solely upon his health. He arrived feeble, face gaunt and voice weak And have come home" he said. flor cure and not for work"
 Many great Americans have return ed to their country under exfraordi nary circumstances, but never has there been more remarkable home coming of private citizen than R. II Harriman's. Great stock market oper ators paused as his ship drew near, the stock market itself marked time. and the industrial world turned its eyes seaward, as 1t wore, eager for glimpse of the man whose Illness abroad has furnished much material for stock market rumors.
 Contrary to expectations. the finan, cler did not leave the Kaiser Wilhelm II down the bay, but remained on board until the vessel docked at Ho. boken.
 Then, after being assisted ashore, he boarded a Southern Pacific tug and was taken to Jersey City where he was again assisted to his private car. From there the trip was quickly made up to Hudson to his mountain home at Arden.
 Although he flashed ashore brief message of optimism at the request of the Associated Press and conversed for time with interviewers after the Kaiser's arrival at Quarantine. 1t was not until he had come ashore. been transferred from Hoboken to Jersey City, and placed comfortably iii his private car that MT. Hartman talked freely about himself-his health and his hopes of early recovery. Then. reclining on couch, pale and enfe- bled. but with his usual optimism and tenancity of mind, he talked to an audience of more than score of newspaper men before leaving for Arden.
 Leaving the train beyond Arden, MT. Hartman was taken by automobile to the foot of the incline which leads up to his mountain home. There he boarded a specially constructed car and was drawn up to his residence.
 A drop of over five points in Union Pacific. three points in Southern Pa cific, three and one-half in New York Central and losses of two or more In numerous other active stocks reflected Wall Streets solicitude over E H. Harriman's physical condition on his return from Europe yesterday, and It's disappointment over his declaration that he proposes that the prof. of the railroads that he controls shall be used for extensions and betterments. rather than for increased dividends.
