PinChOt-BaIIinger Minority
Avoids Chicago Meeting.
NO ACTION PROBABLE TODAY.
Opponents of Secretary Of Interior No
In Evidence For Conference An
nouneed by Chairman Nelson.
Talk of Action by Majority.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Chicago Is today
the scene of half Of the Pinchot- Bal.
linger controversy. Minneapolis, to
all appearances, remains the scene of
the other half, although there Is a
probability that by this time the other
half has been divided into smaller por-
tlons.
The Democratic members of the
committee and Congressman II. II.
Madison of Kansas, who declared that
they would not follow Senator Knute
Nelson, chairman Of the committee, to
Chicago, have apparently kept their
word.
When Senator Nelson adjourned the
Minneapolis meeting, while the minor.
ity was trying to force through the
resolutions condemning Secretary Bal.
llnger, he announced that the commit
tee would meet here today.
SO far as can at present be learned
the lack of h quorum, which prevented
action in Minneapolis, will also pre-
vent anything being done here.
81 see no likelihood for a quorum
here" said Senator Sutherland OF
Utah. I'VE have not discussed oul
findings yet. l suppose we will have
conference and determine what we
shall do. The action of the five mem
bers at Minneapolis still leaves us q
quorum of seven members of the com
mittee, and it is probable that we vii
ultimately have a meeting Of the
seven"

Washington, Sept. 13.-The National
Association of Supervisors of State
Banks has begun three days con-
vention here The examiners gathered
at the treasury department and were
addressed by Lawrence o. Murray,
comptroller of the currency.
Mr.. Murray proposed to the state SUI
pervisors a working cooperation with
the national bank examiners. He de
clared he had in his office list of men
who as officers of national banks had
proved incompetent and had been re-
moved from office and said that If any
of them should make application to
organize state banks their names
would be furnished to the state bank
ing authorities. In turn he proposed
that the state supervisors should fur
nish to the national system the names
of men who had been driven out OF
the state banks.
During the last eighteen months, the
comptroller said, he had refused los
applications to form national banks
because the men behind them had
been found incompetent or dishonest.
that there was not enough business to
make the proposed institutions profit
able or that the applicants were men
without standing within their com
munities.
Weak banks and failures, said Mr.
Murray, almost always come from
banks which should never have been
chartered. The practice Of concealing
liabilities was growing fast he said,
and he described a system which he
believed was quite general and which
he intended to investigate.
