again Thursday, but each time found
the establishment locked. Smith sus-
pected nothing but that his employer

store again Friday morning, and find
ing it still locked called the police, who
forced an entrance and discovered the
body lying on his bed in a position
that indicated that death had come

WILL AFFECT SALT
LAKE BANKS LITTLE
This Is Opinion of Banking Men
Here of Comptroller's Order,
Issued Thursday.

Barking men Of Salt Lake City are
of the opinion that the order sent out
By the comptroller of the currency
Thursday, calling for pract tlcally uni,
form system Of bookkeeping in the 71OO
national banks of the United States,
will affect Salt Lake banking instltu-
tions only slightly, if at all.
The order for uniform bookkeeping
system was issued in connection with
the disclosures following the forced
liquidation of the Quanah National
bank Of Quanah, Texas.
Lewis S. Hills, president of the
Deseret National bank, said that the
chief complaint Of the bank in Texas
was the lack of discount register
He SAYS that all the banks OF Salt
Lake net only carry discount regis
ter, but such other books as are neces-
sary to keep intelligent records OF the
banking business and that at no time
has a bank examiner found fault with
the system IN vogue here.
This statement voices the views on
the subject Of other bankers of the
city, they say.
Bankers here say further that the
Texas bank is an individual case and
that orders frequently are sent out from
the comptroller of the currency follow
ing specific cases that come under the
observation of bank examiners.
However, it is admitted by the bank
ers here that they may receive orders
to install certain systems IN place OF
some now approved by examiners fol
the sole purpose of obtaining a uni
form method of keeping accounts.

GRAFT AMONG BOSSES
AT GARFIELD ALLEGED

1t is currently rumored and also di-
rectly charged that some Of the bosses
at the works OF the Garfield Smelling
company are in the habit OF holding
up men whom they employ: compelling
them to pay tribute to these bosses as a
price for securing jobs.
In one instance in which The Tribune
has received information direct. it is al
legged that a laborer was compelled to
put UP IL total OF $35 on the installment
plan and was then dismissed after he
had worked two days. his place being
taken by another man who had money
to put up.
Inquiry among a large number Of men
who have been employed at the smeter
tended to show that. while there might
be isolated cases where a ''poss" has
been guilty OF this system of petty lar
ceny. the practice is not general or
known TO the management OF the com
pany.
