The Tramp Evil.

According to James Forbes, director of the National
Association for the prevention of Mendicancy $50 600
tramps his country today because they choose
to be. He says the number is the increase rather

the best authority have this subject considers the
tramp national and offers good evidence
to prove his point For instance he declares that from
trampdOm come many, if not most, of the criminals in

results to be expected by beginning the waywardy
inclined boy and letting him without feeling by
perence what undesirable existence tramp leads.
Yet that will get rid of the tramps already

the attractions of rowing life The prisons and work

 BANK DEPARTMENT
Bankers of the State Object to Two Measures = They Say Bank Commissioners Ought Not to Take on More Work

Hartford, March 22-The commit tee on banks had number of i'm portant bills to be heard yesterday Among them were two bills for creat- ing state banking department The first was fer esta blishing the banking department only. The second bill building and loan commissioner
 R. w. Cutler of the Hartford Trust Company appeared in favor of the second bill, and disapproved only of the section which made the banks pay the expenses of examination by state officials.
 The opposition was maintained strongly by President Meigs H. WhapIes of the Connecticut Trust & Safe Deposit Company, w. H. Catlin of the Meriden Savings Bank, and president of the Connecticut Savings Bank Association; ex-Senator Brooks of Torrington, treasurer of the Tor. rington Savings Bank; Miles Peck, treasurer of the Bristol Savings Bank; A. T. Nettleton, treasurer of the New ton Savings Bank; A.E. Hart, treas Speaker Frederick A.. Scott, director of the Terryvil1e Savings Bank, and Charles H. Harwood of the Stafford Springs Bank. MT. Whap1es also rep resented the Connecticut Bankers As sociation, as chairman of its legisla- L cludes nearly all of the trust com panies and national banks in the state.
 What these gentlemen said yester- day afternoon may be summed up as follows: The Connecticut Bankers As sociation comprises all but four of the trust and national banks in the state. They were asked whether they were in favor of a double headed or single headed departm ent of the state to ex- anime their banks. Eleven were for a single-headed commission as con tained in the two bills heard yester-. day, six were non-committal and eigh- ty-five against the single-headed
 Among the speakers on the bill abolishing the office of the building and loan commissioner were Meigs H. Whaples, A. T. Nettleton and A. E. Hart. They thought an expert should hold the office of inspecting the association. The bank comms- sioners have complained that they could not take on more work.
