Law Applies to Brokers.

The law to license private banking in
stitutions Is also causing some commotion
in the business world. Allen P. Hallett,
deputy in charge of the New York branch
of the State Controllers office. said yes
terday that the department was giving the
law broad interpretation.
I'VE consider that it applies to brok-
ers as we'll as to ordinary private bankers.
A customer hands his money to a broker
to buy stock for him, and until his stocks
are purchased that money is on deposit.
Most Of the New York Stock Exchange
houses have claimed exemption under the
clause which provides that when the aver
age deposit is over 500 the necessity for a
license shall not apply
LAS most of the Stock Exchange houses
take orders for hundred-share lots and
the amount deposited for suck lots Is at
least 81 OOO, most of them are exempt. The
Consolidated and curb brokers will, as a
rule, come under the law. 1t is probable.
however, that some of them will take an
appeal to the courts.
Some of the larger private banking in
stitutions have claimed exemption under
Clause 5. which provides that such an
institution can deposit with the State Con-
troller a bond or securities in the sum Of
81 900 900 in a city OF over million people
The objection of these firms is TO the quar-
terly statement of assets and liabilities
provided for under the new law"
Applications for licenses are being sent
direct to Albany, where a license bureau
Is established in the Controllers depart
nent All applications must be posted by
Friday of this week II the applicants ex-
pect to obtain licenses by September 10.
In the mean time no applicant who is al
ready in business will be disturbed.
Judge Lacombe, III the United States
Circuit Court, yesterday denied the appli-
cations of Morris Engel and Samuel Ko-
han for an injunction to prevent the At
,ornev General and other state officials
from enforcing the nav law. The court
held that the law constitutional and
the provisions thereof reasonable.
The CaIlan law providing for the IL
censing of automobile drivers in the state
also goes into effect to-day. and from
this date forward any person found driv-
ing an automobile without the necessary

will be prosecuted. The law also provides
for it's stricter application to offenders

The fifth law to go into force to-day is
that which puts the final touch TO the

oral betting on races and other sporting
events is prohibited.

as the reward of merit The other
members Of the subscribers committee
of the Aero Club Of America, supposedly
having the matter i'm hand, have seemed
irclined to view their position as orna-
mental.
Until Mr.. Ryan set his teeth a few
dals ago this attitude pointed to en-
ba~rassing possibilities.
Lawrence L. Gillespie. chairman Of
tn committee. talked a great deal about
how anxious all the foreign aviators
were TO come to America, in the face Of
cable messages indicating that the Eu-
ro.ean f1iers were joyously promising
each other not to come here for various
reasons. Mr. Gillespie prepared also

STATEN ISLAND FULL OF JOY
Rival Company Enters Transit
and Lighting Fields.

All Staten Island was happy yesterday
with promises of a better. quicker and
more frequent ferry service between Tot
tenville and Perth Amboy, a trolley service
between TottenviIle and Port Richmond
and better electric lighting facilities than
at present. All these things are objective
points toward which Staten Island has been
aiming for many years.
The Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey took title yesterd day to five acres of
land at Tottenville, part of the Edward
Acker estate, and has practically closed
negotiations for an adjoining ten-acre
tract The officials stated at the same time
that the sale Of the property an
nounced that they would build two ferry
houses on the tract at Tottenville and that
they would establish q ferry service be-
tween that point and Perth Amboy.
The corporation also stated that on
2OOO-foot tract of land at Perth Amboy
which has been purchased as a terminus
for their ferry service an electric light
power house, to cost 8. .0O0.00 will be erect
ed. to manufacture electric light and power
for points in Staten Island and Perth
Amboy.
The Staten Island Rapid Transit Com
pany which has heretofore held control Of
all transit facilities the island. has
steadfastly refused to improve the ferry
service between Tottenville and Perth Am
boy and has likewise declined to build a
trolley road between that point and Port
Richmond Now that the Public Service
Corporation has entered the field. it is ex-
pected that conditions for the travelling
public will be greatly improved.
1t IS said that work on the new ferry
terminals will begin at once. that the site
for the 100000 electric plant has already
baen surveyed and that work will be
started on the foundations within the next

The Art Of Elsie Janis.

Dainty, charming Elsie JANIS,
the only actress, 1t is said, who
was advised by President of the
United States to go on the stage,
IS the subject of a delightful story
IN Human Life for January.
That wonderful gift of mimic
ry, of which she is the very in.
carnatlon, developed early IN
childhood, and the story follows
her career from the time when
she "spoke a piece" In Sunday
school and so naughtily and truth
fully initiated the pompous su.
perintendent that the shocked
com mlttee advised her mother to
"spank that dreadful child within
an inch of her life"
1t seemed far cry from this
performance to vaudeville en-
gagement at 50, 900 per week, but
the article tells how she had
vaulted 1t before her twentieth
birthday.
Miss Janis's own story of how
she studies Is unique, and shows
how spontaneous is this gift with
which the gods have lowered
her.
The article is splendidly illus.
trated, including hitherto unpub.
lished photographs CT the actress
as a beautiful child, and also
showing El-Jan, her much loved
home. e.--Human Life Publishing

The Word aiIhaust,a.

The little black pictures called "sil-

enne de silhouette. who was the
French minister Of finance In 1859.
His extreme economy in matters of
finance was caricatured by all classes.
and any cheap mode or fashion was
sarcastically called by his name.
About that time these profiles were
produced by casting the shadow OF a
face on tie paper by the light Of a
candle and tracing about II. Because
they were cheap they were called In
