BANKERS NEW SCHEME
Special to Daily Leader.

Houston, Tex, Jan 3-Bankers
throughout the country are preparing
to inaugurate system which has
been in operation in Houston banks
for some time and which has proved
so successful as to attract national
attention. j. w. Hoopes, secretary
0f the State Bankers association las
just returned to Texas from Chicago,
where he attended meeting OF lead
ing bankers from the larger cities OF
the country, representing the larger
banks. Tie purpose Of this meeting
was TO devise a plan, national in
scope, for simplifying clerical work
in banks in handling drafts and
checks The plan is known among
the bakers as the numerical transit
system" and while this is to be an
innovation in methods OF banking,
nevertheless the plan had its concep-
tion here and by the Texas Banker as
sociation The plan has been in op-
Grafton III Texas for some time. AT
this conference a numerical system
was adoDted for each bank in the
United States. 1t is proposed under
this plan 10 use nGineflcal cymDOis
for each Individual bank in each city
and town in the United States, in.
stead of the use Of the name of the
banks 1t is claimed that this will
grealy facilitate the work and render
banking methods more secure, and
the plan having been tested in Texas
has been found to be a great conycn-
ience over the old method. 1t is also
proposed to adopt a special machine
for listing checks and drafts accord
ing to this plan, AT tne recent con
ference committee consisting Of all
Chicago bankers was appointed TO
work out tie details of the plan and
lay the result OF It's labors before the
next meeting OF the National Bank

went up from the secretary and he
read aloud the letter which prompted
the first question
The letter that purported 10 be

postmaster general and stated that
the writer, a resident Of Savanna,
had heard inat there was dissention
among citizens of Muskogee re-
garding the location of the postoffice
and that sone desired that the office
be moved to some more centIGi locd

event the Savanna man wrote that
Savanna would aceept the office, if
no other reason to insure tranquility
in Muskogee.
The writer of that letter is either
the greatest ki6der in Oklahoma or
he is crazy, remarked the secretary,
while a listener remarked that he
had never known before that the
