JOHN \. BAGLEY IS
BANK PRESIDENT
Succeeds Late James N. Wright As
Head of American Exchange
National-0ther Changes.

Tuesday was election day with the
Detroit banks but there were no riot
calls nor charges OF election frauds
reported, everything passing off
quietly. Perhaps the reason for the
caimness OF the elections was the alb
sence OF any insurgent elements. The
stockholders seemed pretty well sat
isfied with the officers and directors
in charge OF the banks last year, and
practically all of the boards and Of
ficers were reelected.

ton to his office as cashier Her.

sistant and Chas. s. Howard, auditor.
The vacancy on the board of direc-
tors left by the death Of Mr.. Wright
was filed by the election of Her
NndHH Icy.
The vacancy on the board of the
Home Savings bank was filled by the
election of George NJ Black as di-
rector. The stockholders expressed
satisfaction at the fine showing OF
the bank during the year. The divi-
dend rate has been increased to II
per cent and a large sum added 10
surplus.
The vacancy on the board OF the
First National bank left by the death
OF Morris l.. Williams was not filled.
The Old Detroit National, the Peo-
pies State, the Dime Savings, the
Peninsular Savings, the Detroit Saw

TAFT ORDERS REPRIMAND
FOR COMMANDER SIMS.
Says Naval OFFICERS should Not Make
Remarks That VIII Offend
Other Nations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-President
Taft today ordered that a conspicu-
Gus public reprimand be given by the
Secretary of the Navy to Commander
w. 8. Sins for a speech made by that
officer In Guild hall, London, Dec. g.,
when he said:
IF the time ever comes when the
British empire Is seriously menaced
by an external enemy, II Is my opinion
that you may count upon every man,
every dollar, every drop OF blood Of
your kindred across the sea-"
In his letter to the secretary of the
navy today, the president said:
Whenever a naval officer Is called
upon In a foreign country to- speak
In public, II Is his obvious duty to
limit his speech to expressions Of
friendship with whose guest he Is:
to use language that will not indicate
lack of friendship toward other coun-
tries.
ITO depart from this Is not only a
blunder, but fault for which his gov.
ernment cannot excuse him. Com.
mander Sims should have known that
his words might involve this govern
ment In explanation and disclaimer.
His offense has been so conspicuous
that the action Of the department In
reproving II should be equally so.''
Secretary Meyer will decide what
sort Of reprimand Sims will receive.
