of $4,000 for vehicles, stables, etc.,
was $4,000 too much, that one-third
of $4,000 was enough for the care of

for all purposes could be reduced at
least one million a year without i'm

MORGAN HAS
BIG COMBINE
RICHEST HOUSE IN UNITED STATES
National Banks Frown at Birth Of
Institution Whose Capital Bests
Them by $25,OOO,OOO.

NEW YORK, Jan. Al. Pierpont
Morgan and his associates may con-
troll through further trust company
mergers in New York the enormous
sum Of $210,o0O,OOO in deposits alone,
or approximately $25,000,00O more
than the deposits Of the national city
bank, the largest financial institution
in the United States.
The announcement of the merger
OF yesterday revived rumors embrace
ing the Bankers Trust and the Man
haitian trust as in the same com bina-
ton. There were definite reports that
the Mercantile Trust and Equitable
Trust eventually will be taken into
some sort of a powerful alliance. Ma
tional banking interests do not look
with uniform favor on the increase in
the trust company powers 1t was
pointed out today that inasmuch as
the law makes it possible for the trust
company to hold stock and enjoy the
further advantages forbidden the ma
tional banks it would easily be pos
sible for larger trust companies to
take up many underwriting propo-
sitions which the large banks of Wall
street have found II inexpedient to
handle these papers having been CAL
led for in resolution offered by Flint

MATCH TRUST HEAD
NO LONGEI. CITIZEN.
Charged With Swearing Away Citi-
zenship to Escape Paying De-
linquent Taxes.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 4.-The
reply of o. c. Barber. president of
the American Match company, to
Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio, who
declared in an open letter that Bar
Der swore away his citizenship 20
years ago to escape paying back
taxes, is awaited with much interest
here.
The Senator was auditor of Sum-
mi. county then. and he sued Barber
for $4,000, which he alleged was
due the state. He says the head of
the so-called match trust does not
know now what state he is a resident
of, for he moved from Ohio to Illi-
nois, and finally to New York.
The trouble started when Barber
entered the campaign against Dick
and dared him to debate political Is
sues.

CALLED A LIAR
W0U[ON' VOTE
ON SALOON LICENSE AT PARKER
Indians of Reservation Join in Protest
Against Allowing Liquor in
Their Midst.

County Commissioner Lemay thinks
that someone called him liar at the
Tuesday meeting of the commissions
ers. For that reason he was not pre-
pared last evening to render vote
on the question of granting a license
for a saloon at Parker. Commission
er Lemay declared that he made it a
rule to avoid settling public questions
when he was angry and therefore he
would not act, until this morning, on
the application OF W. Il. McNatt and
5. =. McDaniels for permission to
operate a saloon at Parker. Com
missioners Mcdonald and Meloy also
favored delay and therefore the mat
ter went over until this morning.
Clergymen Make Protest.
For over two hours the licenAe
question was discussed in the council
chamber in the court house Tuesday
afternoon. Clergymen of this section
were represented by Rev. Messrs.
Whitney, Ross, King, Kennedy and
Gibson and all made addresses 9th
ers present were B. f. Barge, l.. 0.
Janeck, E. Remy, w. n. Irish, W. A.
Shippert, Clarence Starcher C. L.
Lum, M. e. Richards, N. p. Hull, Will
bur Crocker, DIR. p. Frank and numer-
Gus others. Vestal Snyder represent
ed the applicants. Both sides had
petitions for consideration by the
commissioners for and against the re-
quested license.
Indians Make Protest.
There was lengthy discussion as to
who were entitled to be petitioners in
such a case and 1t was with regard to
the radius within which the petition
ers must live that remark was mlde
which did not sound we'll to Commits
sioner Lemay.
An interesting feature of the near
ing was the fact that l.. V. McWhorter
appeared as the representative of In
dams of the Yakima reservation and
requested that no saloon be placed
in their midst. Mr.. McWhorter. who
is a blood brothe. to the YakImas,
stated that he had been requested to
be present and voice the protest OF
the Indians

not.
