GERMAN RULER

Expresses Congratulations to
President Diaz on Cele
bration of Centennial

Berlin. Sept 17.-Emperor William

The Builders Are Exonerated
From Liability in North
Dakota Accident
NAVY DEPARTMENT ANSWER
CRITICISMS OF THE PRESS
Says Design for Installation Of the
Burners Was Approved by Govern.
ment and Only Defect Could be in
Faulty Installation.

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE striking
ind of naval court which investigat-
ed the recent oil explosion and fire
on the battleship North Dakota, to the
effect that the accident was due to
faulty design and installation appears
to have led to a great deal of COM
ment in the press. This fact has
caused the navy department to make
public today the following statement.
Prom the published reports of the
accident on the North Dakota the inn
preston seems to have gone forth
that the builders were wholly re-
sponsible from it. In fact the install
lation of the oil burners is after de-
signs that have been used in other
vessels for long time with great
success. Furthermore all the de-
tailed plans were approved by the
navy department. Under the cir
cumstances no one can be held ac-
countable unless it is the navy de-
partment, provided the installation
was in accord with the approved de-
signs. AS matter of fact, owing to
the nature of the accident and the
extreme rapidity with which the ter
rife heat was evolved, the evidence
as to the cause of the accident is not
very clear"

WANT SURPLUS
IN NEW BANKS
New National Law May Be
Passed Providing for Addi-
tional Security

Washington. Sept. 17.-Some i'm.
portant changes in the national law
may be proposed to the next con-
gress.
One proposed change is to compel
newly organized national banks to
provide surplus and an absolutely
unimpaired capital the day they begin
business. Under the present system
a national bank with paid in capital
of $25.000 will spend probably $4,000
at the start for fixtures, books and
other necessities. That impairs its
capital.
The idea is to compel the organizers
of bank to provide twenty per
cent surplus at the start.
There is some talk of trying to in.
crease the efficiency of the national
bank examiners by asking congress to
create places for supervisory exam
iners who can superintend the work
of the men in the field. Other plans
for the better regulation of National
banks, intended to reduce the possi-
bilities Of failure. are being consider
ed and probably will find their way
to congress either through the none
tary commission or officials of the
treasury department.
