Comparing the banking system of
this country with those abroad, Mr. An.
drew said.
mot only are our banking reserves
rendered less available In necessltous
times than the banking reserves of
other countries, because OF the rigid
requirement under our laws Of a fixed
roportion Of cash, but our reserves are
far less available than are the reserves
In other countries because they are
scattered all over the country among
our $4,000 different banking institu.
tions. No aspect Of the banking sys-
TENS Of other countries is more Inn
pressive TO an American than the con-
centration Of banking reserves which
exists abroad.
"The institutions which IN other
are charged with the respon-
sibility Of handling the greater part
of the balances Of the hanks" he ad-
ded, ARE not managed primarily for
The private profit of their stockholders.

MOTOR INDUSTRY
Centralized HERE
Compilation by Magazine Writer
Show Tremendous Degree To Which
This Has Come To Be the Case.

The tremendous degree to which the
manufacture OF motor cars has been
centralized in the state of Michigan is
brought forcibly TO notice In the cur
rent number OF Motor Age of Chi
cago. which believes that, during 1910.
313,373 cars will De manufactured in
the United States, OF which Michigan
Is credited with ability to turn out
161 ,216. while Ohio. It's nearest rival,
is credited Nwith 40.150. Indiana with
35,915, and New York with 31,112 No
other state will manufacture more
than 10000 cars. A large share OF
Michigau's activity Is, of course. CEN
tralized In Detroit. which Motor Age
believes will produce very near to
100000 cars, this figure being, how
ever considerably below the factory
estimates.
An interesting feature OF the COM
pilation is the fact that the tremen-
dous expansion Of the Buick factory
mas raised Flint to second position
among the producing cities.
With the Lansing, Pontiac and other
Michigan factories all in operation as
they are, Motor Age figures that the
valuation OF Michigan's output must
be very close to the astounding sum
of $202,910,000.
Motor Age finds l56 different makes
of gasoline pleasure cars being pro-
duced all over the country, of which
Detroit leads with 25. Chicago being
second with IA. OF which all are small
factories.
In summing up the Detroit situa-
tion, Motor Age says:
The city of Detroit will alone pro-
duce 99,246 gasoline pleasure cars for
1910, and these will return a value Of
$l15,136.0 900 from the public. Detroit's
cars alone will furnish some interest
ing figures, such as: II they were
rlaced end to end they would reacE
from New York to Boston. or a dis
tance OF 207 miles. II paid for in dol
lar bills and these were placed end
to end they would reach over half
way around the world. Detroit's out
put of these cars will equal that Of
the next three largest cities In num-
bers produced.
Figuring the 1909 output at 100000
and previous cars on duty at $4,000.
we here have car for one out OF
every 1877 people in the United States.
and II about one-third OF these were
men we have the astonishing figure
of one car for each 60 men. The ques-
tion Immediately suggests itself. How

DANIEL J. CAMPAU SUED.
Louis A. Celia Claims Part OF Profst0
OF Races Was Withheld.

Something of the profits Of the Biue
Ribbon racing meeting was disclosed
In Judge Mandell's court, Monday,
when Louis A. Celia, the st. Louis rae.
ing magnate and his associates began
suit against Daniel J. Campau for
$1,41y.l7, alleged To be due as their
share OF tee profits of the meeting OF
1907.
It appears from the papers In the
case that In 1907. Campau and Celia,
with the latter's associates. entered
into an agreement to hold the Blue
Ribbon meeting on precentage basis,
each to share equally in the net pro-
ceeds. The gross receipts Of the meet
we're s53.19l.00. and the expenses
were s35,O75.76. leaving $18.115.24 to
be divided, according to Campau's
figures. Celia claims that some OF
Campau's items OF expense are wrong
fully charged, and that he and his a.
sociates have not been paid all that IS
due them. They claim a balance OF
s1.419.77, with interest from 1907,
During the Mondays hearing one
witness told of dispute with Cam

SUGAR CHECKERS
SENT TO PRISON
Four Convicted of Manipulating
Springs Get One Year in ,
Penitentiary.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.--In the
United States circuit court Judge Nor
tin sentenced Thomas Kehoe, Patrick
J. Hennessey, John X. Boyle and Ed
ward A. Coyle. former checkers on tho
Williamsburg docks of the sugar trust.
who were convicted of manipulating
springs In the scafes whereby false
weights Of imports of sugar were re-
corded and the government defrauded
of duties, to one year In the Black
wells island penitentlary.
Oliver Spitzer, convicted with the
above four. and who was declared by
the prosecution to have been the head
and front CT the conspiracy through his
position OF dock superintendent, will
be sentenced on Feb. 1. He - now IN
the hospital recovering from q sirgf
cal operation performed yesterday
In imposing sentence Judge Martin
scored the prisoners for falling to take
advantage OF his hint that n they
made a full breast of the matter he
would be lenient with them. He stat.
ed that IL they had confessed he would
have suspended sentence, but In view
OF the fact that they challenged the
truth by sticking to their original stor-
les. although the evidence conclusively
proved their guilt. there was nothing
fdr him to do but to impose the SEN
tence. 1t is expected the case will be
appealed
In appealing for clemency for the
men former senator Clarence Lexow,
their counsel. bitterly assailed Special
Prosecutor Stimson. He told the court
that since the men were convicted
Stimson had been giving out inter
views threatening the mem with the
limit OF the law and doing everything
possible to intimidate them. Lexow
insisted that the court should take
under consideration the recommends
tion of the jury for mercy.
He insisted that he had talked with
members OF the jury and that they
expected when they recommended
mercy in returning their verdict that
the court would suspend sentence.

Friday. when 14-year-old Harold VIII
cox lost his life In the elevator shaft,

child labor law In employing the Will
cox boy. The complainant Is Deputy
State Factory Inspector Walter w.
Anhut.
This action on the part Of the fac
warning to other employers OF child

years old. OF No. 249 Baltimore-ave.
Nwest, employed In the same establish
ment, applied at the factory inspect
or's Office for working papers. but, not
being IA years old, was not eligible
to be even an applicant. He told the
|ofiicials In charge that he had been
working In the store four weeks and
had been hired by G. b. Van Dusen,
one Of the department managers. FRI
day morning, he said. he was told that
he would have to go home and get his
working papers. The Wilcox boy was
killed about $3.50 o'clock and 1t was
shortly after 9:15 o'clock when young
Tanton called at the factory inspect
ors' ONCE.
The specific charge against Kresge,
as indicated above, is that of employ
ing q boy under the age OF 16 years
without having placed on file work
Ling permit issued to the boy. He is
also charged with falling to keep a
|register in which is recorded the boys

there was clear violation. The max
imum penalty provided by law for vio-
sation of this statute is fine of 800
or 90 days Imprisonment. or both In
the discretion OF the court.
