Atlanta Amateur Team
May Come to Capital

Followers OF amateur baseball in
Washington are today much elated over
the possibility of a post-season series
between the champions of this city and

serious consideration.
An Amateur Baseball Commission
similar to the one now in effect in
Washington Is being organized at At
lanta and the promoters of the scheme
are more than anxious that the cham

edly enter in such a post-season series
as amateur organizations In those cities
are now well-liked and work success

CHICAGO. June 13.-(special)- When the banks of Chicago adopted plan of clearing house exam'na- tions, as it has proved, they took a step which has become momentous to banking in the United g ates. The three central reserve cities have now followed the example of Chicago, St. Louis doing so promptly. New York recently, with the endorsement of Comptroller of the Currency Law renee o. Murray. Eleven other cit ies, reserve centers, have done so and Comptroller Murray has recom- mended that the oher 36 reserve cities take the plan under considera- sideration.
 It now seems assured that banking in the Una ed States has made a great step forward, one taken volun- tarily, without any public discussion or political turmoil and without need for any coercion. No banker now doubts that the plan will rapidly be adopted the country over as a sate- guard to banks. their depositors, the public and the industries and com merce dependent upon them. The banking power of he central reserve cities, according to ,he latest com plete figures for all banks IS 25 per cenf of the total banking power or near s5,615.000. .000, while the reserve city banks and central reserve banks represent a banking power of 5 per cent of the total of S11,000, ,000, ,000. In other words more than one-half of the to-al banking power of the coun- try would be subjected to this ad ditional safeguard if the efforts of Mir. Murray for the general adoption of The plan prove successful. The eleven reserve cities which already have slipped into line are Kansas City.

 Clyde Smith, wanted for desertion from Co. B, First Regiment '. s. A.. stationed at Vancouver barracks, Washington, living in Spokane under the name Of Bert Lawrence, said this in the city jail here, after being arrested on information given to the police by Mrs. Anna Belle Bloomfield, whose 15-year-old daughter Elva married the soldier in this city last December.
 I've thought the thing over thor oughly," Smith continued, and I'm still wondering whether, after all, mother-in-laws are of any earthly use. I'm not blind, but I cant see it.
 The wife's mother gag Is as old as the hills. but this one has a brand-new angle. lt got me, goat, to- mato can and all But there's one consolation-I1l get out of it alive.
 Mrs. Bloomfield, who stands four feet nine inches in her OxfoTds ana weighs 97 pounds, declares she did not turn informer because Smith re. fused her a place under his root or anything of that sort. She had mum erous reasons.
 "Bert's record came from his own lips soon after he pumped into my family Mrs. Bloomfield said, and ! told him would protect him as long as he treated my daughter right. He was mean to her, and. as l was the chief provider, l made up my mind to give him up to the police. They have since notified the army officers"
 Mrs. Lawrence, who appears to be the principal sufferer as a result of the differences between her mother and husband. has visited the jail several times in an effort to arrange a truce, but Mrs. Bloomfield is firm in her determination to punish Smith and there is every indication that her wish will be fulfilled

 The Beginning.
 The beginnings of this step run back several years, but the Walsh crash caused lhe plan to be adopted. Conservative bankers who felt their responsibilities to the public as well ss to their shareholders had dis eusssd the possibilities of various plans by which they could foresee and prevent impending disaster to competitive banks h Chicago the clearing house association held many discussions, for in he west particu- larly theorists wereS proposing var ious ways to make banks and their patrons secure. One of the members had quietly insisted tha the most direct path to safety and public con fidence lay in a sysem of examina- tions of each bank by an examiner who represented all of the clearing hause banks w. Fenton, vice pres ident of the National Bank of the Republic. without much encourage ment, argued for this plan consist ently and consistently.
 When the Walsh crash came, with its attendant stress, i. became nee essary to take some action to i'm prove cOnditions-the days for dis cussion abruptly ended. At the annu- al meeting of the Clearing House in January. 1906. MT. Fenton stated that he had come to the meeting prepared to offer a resolution for the appointment of a clearing house examiner and in his remarks gave as one of the reasons why there should be such an examiner the fact that within ten years two of the largest national banks in Chicago had been closed between Saturday and Mon day The members of the association he said had a right to know wheth-

CT any bank was in such condition as to jeopardize the financial interes s of Chicago
 The resolution passed and on May il. 1906, a clearing house examiner was appointed. During the panic of 1907 the office of the clearing house examiner was made available, the machinery was already in operation to carry out the issuance of clear ing house emergency currency and in December, 1907, in a le ter to the Economist. referring to the clearing house currency issued during the panic and the discussion that fol- lowed the legalizing of this currency Mir. Fenton said:
Bisbee daily review., 1911-06-14
The Advantages.


 this clearing house currency is that the collateral back of h is passed on by the local bankers in the city where it is issued. and as in the case of the clearing house currency in circulation in this city and in other cities, every dollar of it is guaran- teed by all of the associated banks, so that practically the assets of the combined banks are behind 1t. It fol- lows, of course, that the issuance or this currency must be preceded by clearing house examinai ions, and it is not too much to hope that every clearing house in the United States will within a shor time employ its own examiner and that no bank will be able to avail itself of the ma chinery of any clearing house un- less it is able to pass an ezamina- tion."
 When the Clearing House associa- ton of Chicago decided to require an examination as a qualification for membership it went about the de tails with a thoroughness tha had much to do with he success of the plan. The clearing house examiner under the direction of the clear ing house committte is clothed with authority to appear 8 any bank al any time and with corps of assist ants making as drastic an eXamina tion as he sees fit and one o2 entimes more rigid than the national examin- CT generally makes.
 Chicago banks were fortunate in obtaining a man thoroughly compe- ten to carry out this work Since he became the examiner James B.

CRAZY MAN FOOLS
 OFFICERS AT YUMA

YUMA. June 13.-A week or so ago the public of our town were .reated to a bit of comedy that ran into tragedy after the scene had shifted. It will be remembered tbat the sheT1ffs office was called to meet an east bound train on which crazy was said to be. Here he was taken from the train and after bit of resistance he was landed in jail for he night The next morn ing, an interpreter was found in the person of John Ghiotto. To him the man told a story that seemed straight and on it the officers de- cided that the poor fellow was not crazy. but was badly scared by the passengers and train crew and he was allowed to depart for his east ern destination. Now comes an As sociated Press dispatch with the tragedy end of the story When the train reached Fl Paso the man claimed that the conductor had de- stroyed his ticket which called for transporta ion to San Antonio, Tex as. and had put him of he train there He also said that the people of Los Angeles and Yuma had tried 70 kill him and climed that they were trying to rob him in Fl Paso. A revolver hastily drawn and fired at his head put an end to his trou- bles.
