HE'S NOW \ BANKER
Uncle Sam President of 48 Postal
 Savings Institutions.
tt Is His Intention Ultimately to Open Nearly eo,ooo More-Depositors Safe as Long as Govern
 ment Endures.

Washington-When with the open Ing of the new year Uncle Sam em- parked in the banking business it was the fruition of 40 years agitation.
 At present in the United States, ac- cording to the official statistics of the office of the comptroller of the cur rency, there are 1,703 savings banks, an average of one bank for approXi- mately every 52,000 inhabitants. In the great postal system of the United States there are nearly 60,OOO offices of all sorts and classes. It appealed to the public that in these postoffices, large and small, lay the opportunity for the creation of a system of banks of saving deposit for the millions or wage earners.
 Out of the act of congress the fram- CTS of the rules gathered much that IS of direct interest to the future depos- itors in the great concern. These are a few of the features which the new bank will possess.
 Information for Depositors.
 First and most important of all for the depositor to remember is the fact that the postal savings bank is a fed eral institution. It is not governed by state banking laws and moreover de- positors in the postal savings bank place their money there subject to the law which created the postal savings bank and free from the restrictions as to property rights as outlined by the vast variety of state laws governing the rights of minors, married women, parents, guardians and others. Under the act accounts may be opened and deposits made by any per son of the age of ten years or more in his or her own name. This money so deposited is free from the interference as to disposition by parent, guardian or creditor.
 A married woman may deposit money in her own name and keep it

MAKES PROSECUTIONS EASIER


 The Supreme Court of the United States has announced the broad rule that a conspiracy under the Sherman antitrust law may be continuing offense,' instead of an offense limited to the formation of the conspiracy, and, possibly, over the acts thereun- der. which would revive the conspir- acy.
 The direct result of the decision is that Gustave E. Kissel, of New York, and Thomas B. Harmed, of Philadel- phia, must answer further to the in dictment, brought in 1909 in New York, charging them with. conspiracy with the American Sugar Refining Company and others to drive the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com. pany out of business.
 The indirect result will be that the government will find it easier to pros ecute conspiracies under the Sher- man antitrust law. Instead of being required to show in an indictment conspiracy or an overt act in further ance thereof, within three years of the time of indictment, it is said the accused will be required to, show that the conspiracy had been ended by l abandonment or success more than three years before the indictment.
 Justice Holmes, in announcing the | opinion of the court, took up for mi mute consideration the argument that | a conspiracy is completed crime as i soon as formed. as would be the case rl.a q contract
 Tt is true" said Justice Holmes l that the unlawful agreement satisfies 1 the definition of the crime, but it does not exhaust it. It also is true, ol course. that the mere continuance o | the result of crime does not con i tinue the offense. But when the plo contemplates bringing to pass con ! tinuous cooperation of the conspira tors to keep it up, and there is sucl continuous operation, it is perver sion of natural thought and of nat ural language to call such continuous | cooperation a cinematographic series of distinct conspiracies, rather thaI to call it a single one.''
 Holding that a conspiracy in re straint of trade is different from ant more than a contract in restraint O trade, Justice Holmes summed up tn, decision of the court in this manner I "The indictment charges contin uing conspiracy. Whether it does s' with technical sufficiency is not be fore us. All that we decide is that conspiracy may have continuance il time, and that where, as here, the in dictment, consistently with the othe facts, alleged that it did so continu to the date of filing. that allegation must be denied under the genera issue and not by special plea. UT der the general issue all defenses, il cluding the defense that the conspil acy was ended by success, abandon ment or otherwise lAore than thre years before July 1, 1909. will be opel and unaffected by what we now dt eide"

Gigantic Meteoric atream.

Denning. one of the most accom-"
plished and assiduous students Of
meteors, is of the opinion that the
August meteors, which radiate from
the constellation Perseus and are
sometimes popularity called the Tears
OF st. Lawrence" belong to a stream
so broad that the earth, travelling be-
tween Is and 10 miles second, occu-
pies seven weeks in crossing it. This
would make the width of the stream,
il the earth traversed il at a right an
sic to its course, nearly S0,O00,000
miles. These meteors are scattered
all round the orbit in which they trav-
el, so that some Of them are visible
every year. They are believed to be
connected with a bright comet which
appeared in 1862 and il supposed to
have period of about !2O years. The
outer end of the elliptical meteor
stream is situated far beyond the or
bit Of Neptune.-Harper's Weekly.

Americas Baptism.

The world now will take II for
granted that the United States official
ly acknowledges the claims of st. Die,
France, to its important part in the
honor Of naming America. Much has
been written of st. Dies boast of this
distinction. The romantic story long
has been heralded before the world
and always with glamor that is more
or less associated with fanciful tradi-
ton. The fete which was planned
long in advance by the enthusiastic
French people attracted worldwide at
tention. It's celebration with the
American ambassador and the French

guests added to the dignity of st.

There are many belated reports
from Tripoli, but the one important
