American Banks Needed Abroad.

Germany and England have chains
Of banks in foreign countries WHICH
afford important facilities to their
compatriots interested in the foreign
trade as we'll as to the native business
interests in their respective spheres
of activity.
The lack of such facilities repre-
sents a serious handicap to American
export trade and the intercourse be-
tween the foreign nations and Ameri-
can commerce. In many of the most
important territories. which by the
mere reason Of geographical position
are within the natural scope of Amer.
lean export activity. every dollar that
changes hands between Americans
and their foreign connections yields a

WALKER ATTACKS
BAREFOOT REPORT
Engineer Tells Council Committee
That Detroiter's Figures On D. U. r.
Appraisal Are Worthless.

Figures presented by Engineer +,
T. Bancroft in his appraisal Of the d.
U. r. for the committee OF fifty were
attacked by Engineer Frederick w.
Walker before the council committee
on franchises, Thursday. Walker
also intimated that Bancroft is not
an engineer, declaring that the latter
had admitted that he did not possess
any Of the degrees which qualify an
engineer In Walkers estimation.
Walker was called to Detroit by the
committee to discuss plans for COM
pleting a valuation of the d. u. r.
properties which could be used in fix
ing a rate OF fare. Walker said that
the figures presented in the book pub
lished by Bancroft were absolutely
useless.
The city has bought gold brick
he said In response to question by
President Gilman, OF the common
council. He compared figures on
Power Station A. and Power Station
B. saying that In one case boilers
which had been In use 10 years had
been appraised at So per cent OF cost
to replace, while in the other, boilers
that had been used only 91-2 years
were appraised at only 66 per cent.
He said that Bancroft had In some
cases put down machinery as worth
less. and had yet placed good valu-
alton on the foundations OF the ma
chinery. which were worthless with
out the machinery itself.
Walker gave comparison OF
figures. On one power plant, he said.
Barcrofts figures were $4,000; the
d. u. r. figures $4,000, while his
own were $4,000.
1T is necessary TO have his data
to see how he figured that" said
Walker. That detail data Is the
property of the city, and the city
ought to be able to get 1t. With this
in possession. 1t would be possible to
check over, and to defend his figures

Bic GANG OF CAR
THIEVES ARRESTED
Police Gather in q Men and Boys
Accused of systematically Robbing
Grand Trunk.

One OF the biggest round-ups in the
recent history Of the police depart
ment took place, Thursday morning.
when Detectives BroOks-ena Seymour,
assisted by Special Onicers Foley and
Halloran, swooped down upon q gang
of freight-car thieves and gathered In
Is men and boye Two men were ar
rested Wednesday night by the same
officers and II was through these that
the police were tipped of to the OPP
erations and habits Of the gang.
The Grand Trunk has suffered heav-
lily through the depredations of this
gang. They were a rough-looking lot
brought into police headquarters,
Thursday. Most of them had no
definite place of residence and they
hail from all sections of the country.
The detectives say they have been
hanging along the tracks all the way
from Milwaukee Junction to the river
front. They live on what fruit and
other edibles they can gather from
the freight cars.
They have been using boys for the
purpose of breaking open the cars.
After the cars have been broken
open, they enter and as usual thing
number of them ride down from
the junction. As they ride along, they
throw merchandise from the cars and
1t is picked up by their pals who are
watching along the way.
Six Of the prisoners are OF such a
tender age that they were turned over
to Lieut.. Breault, OF the juvenile de-
partment. Warrants will be asked for
the other 81.
The swimming hole at the foot of
Rivard-st., has been favorite rem
devious for the gang and 1t was there
that Detectives Brooks and Seymour
surprised most Of them. Others were
picked up in transit.
Every one of the gang will be
charged with breaking and entering.
Some of them were wearing merchan-
disc stolen from the cars, but they
had been careful enough to remove
trademarks and other signs that
could be used for identification.

regairs he was watching the engineer,
saw the fiagman go back to stop train
No. and notified the engineer when
he heard train No. coming. He said
the fiagman was half a mile down the
track when he heard the approaching
train.
J. II. Studmire, porter on the Pull
man car Nebraska, into which the
train No. 4 crashed. did not remember
whether there were any lights on the
rear end of his car. ALI he remembers
is that he made a dash for the fence
