POSTAL BANK BILL
Reserve Fund is Natter Of Scrioul
Objection In Senate.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The reserve
feature of the postal savings bank
bill received especial attention when
that measure was taken up by the
Senate today. Deprecating any
tendency toward a reserve fund, MIR.
Bristow said that > the amendment
suggested by Senator Page providing
for such a fund would result in the
accumulation of from $4O,000,O00 to
$4,000, 900, which he did not consider
a wholesale condition.
Mr.. Gallinger contended for an
ample provision for a reserve as ne
cessary to protect poor depositors.
He warned against a repetition of the
experiences connected with the freed
mans bank experiment.
The eighth section. regulating de-
posits, was the object of attack by
Senator Burton. He did not believe
in scattering the money in the ten
Thousand banks all over the country.
Inevitably the bank deposits would
seek their centers in the large cities
and this law of finance and of trade
should he recognized in the bill. Tie
thought there should be a reserve
fund.

decided to seek the South Pole laurels
similar to those won for her by Com
nfander Peary at the North Pole. The
National Geographic society. today re-
solved to send an expedition in search
Of the South Pole proved the neces-
sary funds can be raised. 1t is not
believed there will be any lack on this
score.
Commander Peary, who is in New
York, where. testimonial. in his be.
half was given last night at the Met
ropolitan opera house. was notified
imm ediately of the action of the board
of managers Of the Geographic society
Captain Bartlett, who was in com.
mand Of the Roosevelt which Peary
used on his successful trip to the
North Pole, probably will be placed
in charge of the expedition into the
Anarcti cregions. With the excep-
tion of Commander Peary, the mem
bers of the expedition will be the
same as those who returned last year
from the frozen north.
The Roosevelt, including complete
equipment. sledges and all, is practi-
cally in readiness to be stored with
provisions and start on her search
of the only big goal on the globe.
After the meeting, the board o1
managers of the Geographic society
adopted the following resolution:
"The National Geographic society
believes that it is of great impor.
tance to science that tidal. magnetic
and meteorological observations shall
l'be obtained at or in the vicinity OF
Coats Land during the same period
that the British expedition under Cap
tain Robert F. Scott, r.. N, is making
similar observations on the other side
,af4the Antarctic area 1900 miles dis.
tant. and at the same time that thil
recently discovered land shall be ex.
plored.
That the society is ready to &C.
cept Mr.. Peary's proposition and that
it shall undertake jointly with the
Pealy Arctic club an expedition to the
Antarctic regions as outlined above
provided that the board of managers
after consultation with the members
of the society, finds that the project
will receive sufficient financial as.
sistance to warrant the undertaking.
It is thought probable that the ex.
pedition may be ready to set sail from
New York where the sturdy little

northern ice fields. as early as July

financial assistance is made by mem.
bers or friends of the society will de.

later than September next.
BY curious coincidence the gold
medals presented by the Geographic
society to Commander Peary and Capt
Bartlett in honor of their North Pole
discovery reached Hubbard Memorial
hall, the headquarters here of the So
ciety today just before the board o1
managers went into the executive ses.
sion at which they resolved on the
expedition to the South Pole.

are that the measure will also receive

pie, pastor of the Methodist church in

honor of Charles w. Fairbanks, the

ting Hill of Tennessee. The conver-
sation at the dinner centered in the
incident between the ex-vice presi-
dent and the vatican.
With regard to the pope's refusal
to give an audience to Mr.. Fairbanks
except on condition that he withdraw
from his promised address in the
Methodist church on Sunday, the vatf-
can explains that it is customary for
the pope never to receive parsonage
who acts in any manner other than
that of Catholic minister in Rome
1t is pointed out also that Seth Low

ceived by the pope and afterwards, de.
livered an address in a Protestant
