Two reasons for such step are pointed

ond is to stop coming gold at the expense
of the United States for the convenience or
foreign money markets. which use II Tor

Appropriate Resolution Passed
bv Hungarian American Bank.

IN speaking Yesterday of the change in
the presidency of the Experimentation
Bank. Eugen Boross. the vice president of
the bank and the representative of the for
eign interests owning the control, said that
il was with great test regret that the bank
had lost the services of w. f. Holloway
P R G. Sjostrom, the new president,
agreed with Mr. Boross in this. and added
that Mr. Holloway had left the Hungarian
American Bank to go with a larger insti-
tuition.
It was learned yesterday that in anticipa-
ton of his new post Mr. Holloway had
severed his connections with the other
banks in which he had formerly been an
officer or stockhoder. His official banking
connections are now only with the bank of
which he has been elected ice-president-
Mr. Holloway was not one of the men
who recently made offers for the control Of
several banks, as told in yesterdays Trib-
une. and has no connection with the group
attempting to finance that scheme.
When Mr. Holloway resigned from the
Experimentation Bank the board of
directors unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved. That in accepting the resigna.
ton of W f. Holloway as president of
this bank, the board of directors desire TO
tender a vote OF thanks and appreciation
which he has managed the affairs of the
bank during the time of his presidency.

forced to accept this resignation.

TEXAS RAISES LIABILITY
Passage of Law Complicates
Sale of [. & G.. N. Railroad.

The second mortgage protective commit
tee Of the International & Great Northern
Railroad Company has decided to postpone
the foreclosure sale of the company's prop
ertv and franchises. which had been ad-
vertised for September Is. for several
weeks on account of the railroad bill just
passed by the Texas Legislature at the In
stance of Governor Campbell. The post
ponement is to give the reorganizers time
to examine the new bill and change their
plans to conform to its provisions.
The bill as finally enacted by the Legis-
lat11re validates claims of creditors against
the International & Great Northern. About
50 coo 900 of the SS,OGO,00 unsecured debts
of the railroad company come under the
provisions of the bill This liability must be
assumed by the purchasers of the railroad
property. As passed, the bill provides
further that no unsecured claims against
the company which were incurred prior
TO two years before the reCeivership will
be allowed This will wipe out claims ag
gregating about 100000 which the Goulds
hold against the company and other claims
amounting TO about 100000 This pro-
vision of the bill will increase the upset
price on the property to the extent Of
81 900. coo, and TO retain possession of the
road the Goulds will now be compelled 10
raise this additional amount
A member of the third mortgage bond
holders committee under which mortgage
the reorganization Of the property is ex-
pected to take place in the interests of the
GOulds. said Yesterday that they were pre-
pared TO purchase the profsrty and pay any
obligations which were reasonable and
just. but until the full text of the bill was
received future plans could not be decided

Daniel Willard, Back Home, ALSO
Pleased with Outlook.

T,vrrs H Mccormick, pr resident OF the IN

of the returning f1nanciers on the Lusi-

other note to sound save that OF optimism,
that his own company's business was -four

ditions We're good.
Daniel Willard, president Of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company. who was fel-
low passenger with Mr.. Mccormick, also
took an optimistic view of things IN gen
eraI He said that the crop reports ne hao
received were exceedingly good, and was
surprised to learn that many stocks were
quoted al lower figure than when he
went away.
Harry S. Black. president Of the United
States Realty and Improvement Company.
who was also a passenger on the Lusl-
tanis after seven weeks spent in London
and Paris, said that there had been tre-
mendous falling off in the European de-
mand. for American securities in the last
year. due to a large extent to the acts OF
the administration in connection with rail-
road rates TT will take long time he
added before we can Tehabilitate our
selves with European investors. For the
present interest in our securities has ceased,
and will not be revived until our govern
ment adopts some settled policy toward our
railroad and industrial corporations For
eigners cannot understand why the market
price of a great railroad stock should fall
so per cent when the earnings have not de-
creased nor the dividends been reduced
These violent fluctuations make them chary
about buying our securities.

abroad for American companies was VIII
lam B. Joyce. president of the National
Surety Company. Mr.. Joyce went ABROAD
for the specific purpose Of establishing
branch offices of American insurance COM
panies in England. France, Germany ana
Switzerland He said that the pre1udlce
abroad against American insurance com
panies was so strong. however, that IL was
useless to establish branches there, as II
was almost impossible for any American
company to meet with any degree or sue
cess This feeling on the part OF the Tor
efgners he attributed TO the recent lhsur-

CORNICE WORK GIVES WAY
Two Men Injured and Horse
Killed by Avalanche.

Two men were painfully injured. one
horse was killed and another seriously
wounded when three sections of terra Gotta
g,ornice fell Yesterday afternoon from the
thirteenth floor of a new building under
construction at the northwest corner of
Fourth avenue and 22d street. The only
wonder is that the two men escaped with
their lives and that the scaffolding put up
TO protect persons using the sidewalk with
stood the shock.
The terra Gotta cornice had been put in
place and was being fastened down in the
ordinary way with bricks The part on
Fourth avenue. near 22d street. had not
Yet been fully secured. when one of the
bricklayers stepped on it. The section gave
way and dra gged TWO others with it.
Andrew Nugent, a stone carver, was
standing on a ladder fixed on a scaffold,
carving a shield just over the second floor
windows. when the falling terra Gotta
threw him off his perch and tore away part
Of the scaffolding on which his ladder
rested. He was only slightly hurt.
Nugent's' scaffolding caused the fallen
mass 10 swerve outward and It broke in
two. The larger portion broke through the
planks Of the scafoding erected to protect
the sidewalk. and Ernest Rose had his right
arm lacerated seriously by the broken
plank. while ne also got four scalp wounds.
which caused great loss of blood. The
smaller portion of the terra Gotta fell out
into the street and instantly killed gray
horse that was hauling an express wagon
and then landed on the leg Of another
horse. almost tearing a hoof off.
Ambulances were called and the reserves
from the East 22d and tt-e new West 20th
street stations Were ordered TO keep back
the crowd. DR.. Conway, of the New York
Hospital. said that the men were not seri-
ously injured and took them both in one
ambulance. The horse ambulance took
away the wounded animal.
The building from which the cornice fell
is a new fourteen story structure being
erected by the George A. Fuller Company

TFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

washington Sept. 2-Lawrence o. Muir
raw, Controller of the Currency, announced
to-day that hereafter reserve agents ior
country banks will not be approved unul
q full examination is made. Heretofore 1t
has been the practice of the Controler
office to approve without question all re-
quests of country banks for the designation
of a reserve city bank as reserve agent
without any consideration Of the question
as to whether or not the reserve city oank
to be designated was in satisfactory con-
dition. This perfunctory practice has re-
suited in the designation of some national
hanks as reserve agents when the Con-
troIler's office was Cognizant of their eX-
tremeIy unsatisfactory condition.
Mr.. Murray says that in the future he
will personally scrutinize all applications
for designation as reserve agents before
they are approved and the approval OF all
requests for designation OF reserve city
banks as reserve agents which are not IN
a satisfactory condition Will be denied, or
at least delayed untiI the affairs of the
reserve city bank in question are placed in
an entirely satisfactory condition.
The procedure will be that request of
a country bank for the designation of a re-
serve city bank as a reserve agent VIII go
directly TO the desk of the chief of the
Division of Reports, who will make an in
vestigation as to the condition of the re-
serve city bank in question and attach a
memorandum of that condition, together
with his recommendation. and send il to the
Controller for either approval or disap-
proval
Mr.. Murray to-day called on national
banks for a statement of their condition at
the close of business September l.
