BANKER INDICTED
|. FOR 100000 THEFT
j. G. Robin, Though Technically
Insane, Is Placed Under Ar
rest in New York

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-It took the
grand jury just an hour to indict Jo-
seph G. Robin on a charge of the lar
ceny of $4,000 from the Washington
savings bank. of which he was presi-
dent.
The savings bank passed into the
hands of the state banking department
today, there to keep company with the
Bank of Northern New York, of whose
executive committee he was chairman
and with which his name hitherto has
been more prominently connected.
The district attorney explained that
out of mass of evidence drawn from
the records of both institutions, he had
chosen the charge that he thought
could be presented most simply to a
jury.
Robin Immediately was placed under
arrest at the home of his sister, DR.
Louise Robinovitch, but his arraign-
ment was postponed until tomorrow
when he must give s25 900 bail or &c
to Jail.
Technically, Robin is insane. The
order of commitment signed by Justice
AIMED, at the request of Doctor Robino-
witch and on the certification of three
other physicians, still stands, although
the private sanatorium to which Robin
was taken refused to receive him.
Further indictments are expected.
At the onces of the state insurance
department it was said tonight that
the option held here on the Aetna in
demnity company of Hartford, Conn,
had been allowed to expire without
being taken up.

HOMES BUILT CHEAPLY
IN FRANKFORT SUBURB
Rental of Model Structures Is

ARGENTINA WILL REMAIN
AGRICULTURAL COUNTRY
Lacks Fuel and Iron for Manu-
facturers

Argentina's growing Importance as
a seller of food and a buyer of manu-
featured products in the markets of the
world makes means of communication
of primary Importance to Argentina
and to other countries.
Geographically the republic is sep
arated by two oceans and 5000 miles
from the continents with which its in
dustriaI development is linked. North
America and Europe are essential to
Argentinas future, even more than
they have been to her past, if the
country is to become what it aspires
and promises to be-one of the great
industrial nations. To an extent which
is true Of few other countries such q
position depends upon international
trade, for, left to itself, Argentina has
little field for growth. Nature has
been bountiful to the country. There
are vast stretches of level, fertile land
suitable for raising stock and grain at
a minimum cost, but SO far as known
no coal or iron, while petroleum has
not yet been produced in paying
quantities. Argentina also lacks an
adequate supply of wood.
Other countries, like the United
States, have begun as agricultural ma
tions and gradually grown into manu-
featuring powers, but it is difficult
to see how Argentina can do SO.
The country will probably never find
it practicable or necessary to make
more than a fractional part of the
manufactured products consumed. On
the other hand, the soil and climate
are unequaled for grain and stock
production. AS an exporter of frozen
meat the country is now the first in
the world, and second as a shipper OF
wool, but in spite of the Importance
of these industries they will event
ually give way before the greater field
of cereal production. This is only in
the beginning of its possibilities so
far, but has already reached such pro-
portions as to place Argentina first
among the nations as an exporter of
maize and second in wheat

BANK BOOKKEEPING
MUST BE UNIFORM
Comptroller Orders 7,lOO Ma
tional Institutions to In
stall New Systems
Change Is the Result of DiscIo-
sures of Fraud in Quanah,
Tex, Bank

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29-DiscIosures
following the forced liquidation of the
Quanah national bank of ouanah. Tex.
10 days ago. caused the comptroller of
the currency today to issue an order
directing every one of the 100 ma
tional banks in the United States to
install what practically amounts to a
uniform system of book keeping
Investigation disclosed that the bank
had been doing business for the last
two years. although undoubtedly in
solvent, and. although inspected at reg
ular intervals by national bank exam
iners, within that time the examiners
were unable to learn the banks true
condition largely because the manage
ment refused to keep a proper record
of its transactions 1t also showd the
entire eapital of $4,000 and probably
some of the $3S.000 surplus was paid
out TO stock holders as dividends.
HOODWINKED TWO YEARS
In the statement Comptroller Murray
says his examiners were hoodwinked
for two years by the way the bank
handled it's notes.
Within these two years." the comp
troller says, the bank carried compar-
atively little past due paper, all the
notes having the appearance of being
promptly paid or renewed. The bank
had no discount register, and the vart-
Gus earning accounts were kept in such
manner as to make it practically
impossible to audit them.
BY this method of accounting the
bank, without detection by the exam
fr.Ar i
notes renewed with the interest added
to the note at the time of renewal
This interest on worthless paper had
not been collected, and was credited TO
some one of the earning accounts, and
as the dividends were regularly paid
this resulted in paying the capital out
to share holders as dividends
EXAMINER SUSPICIOUS
Reports to headquarters show that
an examiner finally became suspicious
shortly before the banks closing and
insisted that a new set of books be
installed. This the officers did under
protest, the report says. but they aban-
doned the new system to return to the
old one two days later. after the ex-
aminer had departed. Returning to
Quanah unexpectedly, the examiner
found the change and reported to by
telegraph to Washington.
To insure a system of book keeping
by which the true condition of a ma
tional bank can be determined at any
moment, the order issued today directs
examiners, on finding a bank whose
exact condition they can not determine
to report the fact by telegraph tc
Washington and give the management
of the bank 80 days to install the
necessary books
AT the end Of that period says the
comptrol1er's order. the examiner will
return to the bank at it's expense &c
determine If instructions have beer
complied with. and If the necessary
books have not ben installed he will
remain in the bank at its expense until
such books are installed under the di-
rection and supervision of the exam
iner."
No proceedings to fix the RESPONSE
bility for the Quanah nationals condi-
ton have been taken.
