PRIVATE BANKS FIGHT
NY. REGULATING LAWS
Claim in Test Case That Big Con-
Germs Are Favored by
New Rules

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-On behalf OF
business associates, James Lee, q
curb broker, has undertaken to test
the constitutionality of the new law
which went into effect in New York
state on September / to regulate all
private banks or businesses which in
any way accept money for deposit.
An order to show cause why the attor-
ney general, police commissioner and
the state comptroller should not be en-
joined from enforcing the law is before
the state supreme court. Counsel for
Lee argued that the law imposes un-
equal restraints, giving to the great
business houses a freedom denied the
smaller banker, thus, to all intents
and purposes, depriving him of his
business and his property without due
process of law.
Louis Marshall, who appears for the
state attorney general, in his argument
recalled how a commission appointed
in 1908 by Governor Hughes found Sc
rious abuses in small private banks
throughout this city, chiefly patron
ized by poor immigrants. During the
panic of 1907 these lost $2,000,000.
ut was easier to run a bank than
a saloon" says the lawyer. "for the
private banker was subject to no regu-
lation, whereas the saloon had to com
ply with distinct restrictions"
Justice Blur accepted the briefs of
counsel and reserved decision.

LEAD PENCIL PIERCES
JUGULAR; SAILOR DIES
Death Ends Argument Over Mer-
its of German Navy

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The stub of
a lead pencil was the weapon which
brought death last night to Albert
Curren, jackey on the U. s. s. Han
cock.
Curren had obtained leave OF alb
sence to visit his sister In Brooklyn.
In a saloon near her house last night
he became engaged with John Schmidt,
an acquaintance, in a lively discussion
as to the merits of the battleships of
Germany and the United States.
Schmidt declares Curren struck him.
Schmidt said he did not realize that
he held a lead pencil in his clenched
hand when, In resenting Curren's at
tack, he struck back. The blow
caught Curren on the neck and the
pencil pierced his jugular vein.
