Clearing House Monograph
BY Well Known Banker

Washington, May IA monograph,
having special interest to those bank
ers and merchants who were compell-
ed to avail themselves of clearing
house certificates during the panic of
1907. has just been made public by
the National Monetary Commission. It
is entitled Clearing Houses and is
written by Mr. James G. Cannon, vice
president of the Fourth National Bank
Of New York, and chairman of the
committee on finance Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. The work is a
continuation of one published by Mr..
Cannon some ten years ago, and con-
tains much new material in regard to
clearing houses; and it derives special
interest from the careful summary of
the devices adopted during the panic
of 1907 to tide over the deficiencies in
our currency system, Mr. Cannon be-
gins by some. careful and interesting
definitions of clearing houses, ex-
change. bills, drafts, checks, and other
terms used in clearings Some of
these definitions represent conclusions
thrashed out in court, as well as in
banking practice. and have distinct
practical value. When the object of
clearing houses is taken up, Mr.. Can
non presents some facts which are
likely to be a revelation even to many
practical bankers. He declared that
the tendency has been marked, es-
peciaIly in recent years, to include
within the legitimate field Of clearing
houses all questions affecting the mu-
tual welfare of the banks and the COM
munity as whole.
The bankers west of the Mississippi
river have given to the country the
most striking examples Of the possi-
Utilities of clearing houses exercising
various special functions, while the
great associations of the east, and es-
lpecially that of New York, have ex-
emplified the utility and value of
clearing house loan certificates. Among
other functions Of the clearing houses

|elnment; mutual assistance OF mems
bers; fixing uniform rates Of interest
on deposits; and several cases of

SAYS PRESIDENT
NEGLECTED FACTS
Asserts He Exonorased saIIInser And
Dismissed CLAWS Without Ju-
diciaI investigation.

Washington, May 7.--Keeping Sec
retary Ballinger ION the grill" in the
Ballinger-Pincbot inquiry Friday At
torney Brandies, counsel for L. R.
CLAWS, sprang a sensation by intimat-
ing that the exoneration of BaIlinger
and the dismissal Of CLAWS by the
president was not the result of judi
cial weighing of the facts by President
Tart in person, as has been generally
supposed.
Attorney Brandies indicated by his
questions to Mr.. Ballinger his conten-
ton that it would have been a physical
impossibility for the president to have
digested the great mass of matter
bearing on the Alaska coal cases, MAX
ing more than 500 pages in the record,
In the week which elapsed between
the time he received 1t at Beverly on
September 6, last, and the making
public OF his letter Of exoneration on
September 1s.
Mr. Brandeis said the week in ques-
tion was crowded with engagements
for the president, including golf
games, yacht races and automobile
rides He cited the probability that
the president also was engaged in the
|prepafation OF his important Boston
speech.
The letter, said Mr. Brandeis. If the
president did prepare it, was based on
an incomplete record OF the Cunning
ham cases. He called the secretary's
attention to letters written by Special
Agent Jones prior to the clear listing
of the Cunningham cases by Mr. Bal
linger, in which Jones urged full In
vestigation of the Alaska coal cases
before allowing any Of them to 60 to
patent He asked Mr. Ballinger If he
did not think the president should
have had these letters Mr. Ballingar
would not admit their Importance
Mr.. Ballinger probably will be on
the stand for several days yet. He is
beginning to show the strain he has
been under and appeared irritable
through Mr. Brandeis' cross-examina-
tion.
