President Watts Addresses
Guardians of Billions In
New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 21.-The guard
ians OF fourteen billion American dol
lars met at the Anthenaeum here to-
da", the occasion being the thirty sew
enth annual convention OF the Amer
lean Bankers Association.
The feature was the Hat Endorsement
by President f. O. Watts OF former
Senator Senator Nelson w. Aldrich' 8
widely discussed plan FOR Central Re-
serve Association. Mr.. Watts urged
the convention to adopt the report OF
the executive council, which previously
had indorsed the Aldrich plan with the
words that II would correct all the
principal defects of our present bank
Ing and currency system"
Practically every speaker who fol-
lowed Mr.. Watts indorsed the Aldrich
Idea as modified by the Currency Com
mission, and this seemed to reflect the
general sentiment Of the bankers.
Sharply at 10 o'clock the convention,
brilliant assemblage OF financial cap
tains, representing 12,275 banking insti-
tutions. was called to order.
The report of the general secretary,
Fred e. F'arnsworth, was received with
close attention by the bankers. II in
dicated that the membership of the
organization Is now composed of Il, 275
banks. with capital, surplus, and de-
posits aggregating more than fourteen
billion dollars.

"Yes. your excellency," replied SPAR

Then, senor. will you be good enough
to tell me In what capacity II now
pleases you to appear-as chief engineer
of the Calistar railroad, or In that otner
and more mysterious capacity whicn, as
you said In your letter, Is scarcely less

II am prepared to greet you as chief

II am here also as the representative
of those American investors who, by
virtue of the bonds sold to them by
Senor NueNores. now hold a controiilhg
interest in the Calistar railroad.
Don Antonio started perceptibly.

II regret to say that the information
my departure from New York has not
been altogether reassuring," Sparhawk
replied.
The information they have received
from Valo!' repeated Don Antonio
Yes. Communication with Valo Is
sometimes a little difficult, of course,
but the outside world does hear from II
occasionally"
Don Antonio stiffened suddenly and
riveted his gaze on Sparhawks face
The, scrutiny lasted nearly a minute.
You are lying" he said in a voice
that trembled slightly.
Sparhawk shrugged his shoulders.
BE careful, your excellency," he said
quietly. Before you have known me

It Is better to number me among your
friends than among your enemies"

Woman's work is being made easier.
Take the weekly wash, for instance. 1t
used to be an all day job, with the
woman getting up ats o'clock in the
morning to heat water for boiling clothes.
Now, she washes with Fels-Naptha soap
in cold or lukewarm water, and the whole
washing takes little longer than half the
time of the old way.
No boiling, no steaming suds, no hard
rubbing; and the clothes are cleaner and
fresher than ever before. Then, too, the
clothes last longer when washed with
Fels-Naptha-a lot of mending saved.
Follow directions for using
Fels-Naptha on the red and green wrapper.

BRITAIN'S UNIONIST LEADER

The new leader OF the Unionist par
ty In Great Britain, Arthur Bonar
Law, is first of all a business man and
has little OF the politician in his make
up. While he has been in parliament
since 1900, representing a Lancashire
district, he has not taken any very
notable part in political management
and Is regarded as much inferior to
Lord Balfour, whom he replaces, in
statesmanlike grasp of public affairs
and in political sagacity. Although
the ostensible reason for Balfour's res
ignation is given as poor health, II Is
we'll known that he was almost forced
out of the leadership by the standpat
element, or the last ditchers," as
they are called, which was dissatisfied
with the conduct of the fight waged
in connection with the reform Of the
house OF lords.
Mr.. Law Is a native OF New Bruins
wick and received his earlier educa-
ton at Hamilton, Ont. He is now a
wealthy iron merchant OF Glasgow. II

JUDGE WALTER BORDWELL

Judge Walter Bordwell was the pre-
siding Judge in the Mcnamara trial
at Los Angeles, which abruptly ended
by the confession of guilt OF the ac-
cused, and 1t was he who pronounced
the prison sentences upon the broth
ers. The Judge issued formal state
ment giving his views as to the trial
and especially what brought about its
termination. This, he said, was done
with the hope of correcting II possible
some misconceptions due to errone-
Gus publications.
In the first place. the Judge declared.
the claim or suggestion that the ter
mination of the cases was due to the
efforts of outsiders who undertook to
influence the officers of the court
other than the judge-was without
justification in fact. He also de-
nounced the claims Of a certain writ
er and of other persons for him that
the change of pleas from mot guilty"
to guilty" was due to his efforts as
groundless. The district attorney. the
Judge said, acted entirely without ref
