DEBATE ON POSTAL BANKS
Senators Burton and Smith Raise
Number of Points.

Senators Burton and Smith Raise
Number of Points.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The response
bilty of the government for the payment
of postal savings deposits was discussed
in the senate today during the consideration
OF the postal savings bank bill.
Senator Burton Of Ohio asked Mr. Carter,
in charge of the measure. whether the gov
ernment would bear the relation OF trustee
or that of debtor to the postal depositor.
Mr. Carter replied that the relationship
would be that of creditor and debtor, but
he had no doubt that the demand of de-
positors on the banks would be so promptly
met by the banks as to avoid embar-
rassment to the government.
But suppose" persisted the Ohioan,
that in the end the money should not be
paid over?'
Then responded the Montana senator,
''The government would be liable"
Mr.. Burton wanted TO know IL It was
not possible that in times of stress the
funds of the banks would be unavailable
to deposltors. Mr.. Carter thought, however,
that the postal funds would be subject to
check at all times for any of the pur-
poses outlined by the bill and he con-
sidered any other contingency as very
remote.
IF the banks of one state fail to meet
| the demand then they can get funds from
| other states" he said, 'lf the banks In al
the states should fail then the deposition
would fall back on the government"
When Mr.. Burton sought to ascertain
whether a proper measure had been pro
vided to meet this contingency, Mr.. Garter
| said that a provision looking to that enc
was being gradually perfected, and he ex
| pressed confidence that a proper methoC
would be found.
Senator Smith of Michigan expressed ap
prehension lest the effect of the measur,
would be to attract to the banks the money
which might otherwise might be employe,
more advantageously in commerce an,
dwelt at some length upon the evil effects
Of enticing people from methods of bust
ness, which would encourage them to de
pend upop>cheir own powers of initiative

Mr.. MuRRArs FUTURE HOME
Retiring President Of B. & o. to Live
In New York.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. Sit was re-
ported yesterday that Mr., Oscar G..
Murray, the retiring president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, will
max his home In New York after Jan.
uary Is, when his successor. Mr.. DAN
lei Willard takes charge of the execu-
tive management OF the Baltimore and
Ohio. 1t was stated on behalf of Mr.
Murray, however, that he has not yet
determined where he will make his
home when his term OF Office has ex-
PRED. He will make known his de-
cision later, 1t Is said.
Most OF Mr. Murray's business inter
ests are centered in New York, and 1t
is natural that he should turn his eyes
toward that place as his possible head
quarters In his new capacity as chair
man of the board of directors Of the
Baltimore and Ohio his presence will
be required in New York more often
than in Baltimore. since the meeting
OF the board are held there and the
policy ef the management Is framed In
the metropolis.
Aside from business interests, how
ever, Baltimore probably has many
attractions for Mr.. Murray as New
York. for he has many friends here
win be sorry to hear Of any determi-
naticn on his part to- leave the city.
Even should he go from here however,
1t is likely that his visits here would
be frequent, and that he would even
have an office here. So far as Mr..
willard, the new president Is concern
ed it is expected that he will make
his home in this city. although he has
made no announcement to that effect.
