Independent Statesmen Come Out in
Opposition To Recommendation.
For Financial Reform, But "0ld

One Senator Declares Latest Propo.
sition Would Create Bankers
Trust"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The Aid
rich plan TO place the finances and
business OF the country In the con-
troll OF central bank is regarded with
disapproval by many senators today.
The "Old guard" stand with their
leader as usual, but independent SEN
ators hold the opinion that the Rhode
Island senator's scheme OF reform, as
outlined yesterday. is not in the public
interest.
As the question Is not one for con-
sideration at this session, few sena-
tors took the time necessary to study
the plan and 80 were adverse to dis
cussing II for publication. Their Inn
preston based on the main features
OF the. plan was that no such power
would be given the bankers by con-
gress. One declared II would create
bankers trust.
No arrangements have been made
by the monetary commission for TAX
ing up the Aldrich plan and preparing
a report to congress. Their purpose
seems to have the details or the
scheme thoroughly circulated through
out the country and thus to draw out
opinions OF all sorts OF interests. The
sentiment thus developed will be TAX
en- into consideration In the prepare
ton OF q report to congress.

PLAYGROUND INSTITUTE
OPENS THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Hoped That Much Favorable Sent,.
ment VIII BE Created BY
Three-Days' Session.

Following the three days meeting,
in Detroit, in the Hotel Cadillac Of
the Central Playground Institute,
which opens Thursday morning, those
interested in the playground move
ment hope to have the tangible sup
port of citizens and municipality In
establishing Fairgrounds all over the
city.
Men and women, in close touch
with public playground work, In var
ious cities OF the country, will speak
in the institute, so that all in attend
ance will have an opportunity to hear
and know for themselves just how the
idea is handled and worked out in
other cities. There are comparative
ly few public Fairgrounds in Detroit,
and the rapid growth OF the city
brings this question to the fore as
one OF the most important in civic
matters. The result of the practical
talks by those who know will be to
enlighten many citizens who hereto
fore have not given the subject any
particular attention, and to awaken
civic consciousness generally to the
great good that can be accomplished
by providing the proper means for
free recreation among the boys and
girls of big city.
The institute, which Is free to the
public. will open Thursday afternoon,
at $3.50 o'clock.

Arlie Latham is one old-timer who

ment OF the players is another proof
The old boys had to be sober enough
To play and that was about all Lei
one OF today's stars come around with
strong breath and he is fined or sus-
pended and sometimes both"
Latham went on TO name wherein
baseball has improved:
The batters work for runs instead
of hits.
Old-timers turned to right of first.

to the left, to go on to second In case

The systematic records enable

Aldrich's recommendations
Please Lyman J. Gage

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-In an address
before the Illinois State Bankers
association last night. Lyman j. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
the report of Senator Aldrich on the
financial problem should appeal to
every banker.
"One thing that appeals to me es-
pecially," he said. IFS the federated
idea which runs through our political
system Of government. The banking
scheme is almost a counterpart of 1t.
For instance, we have the townships
making up the counties and the coun-
ties gathered together for states, ant
the nation supreme over the group OF
states. The same idea Is followed you
notice in this banking association
plan.
"This banking association plan is
gradually federated up TO a central or
ganization having great power TO help
the separate units in times OF emcr.
gency TO relieve them OF strain In
periods OF stringency or when they
are experiencing a panic"

Detroit Bankers
Discuss Aldrich'S Plan

The announcement of Senator Aid
rich's plan for the reform OF the ma
tional banking system aroused consid-
cradle interest among Detroit bankers,
and there seems to be a wide diner
ence of opinion on the way II Will
work out. John T. Shaw. president OF
the First National bank said In regard
to the plan:
II am in sentire sympathy with Sen
ator Aldrich In that | do not favor the
establishment OF Central bank.
81 have followed to some extent the
work of the monetary commission,
though its extended publications, and
l have faith in the ultimate recon-
mendations OF that body. believe
Senator Aldrich's statement. which is
concise and to the point, TO carry some
very important suggestions as to the
needs which our peculiar situation de-
mands.
"In:view of the present extent of our
national banking system, whatever
plan Is evolved must be worked out
without the destruction of that sys.
TEN, and in my opinion, 1t will be
radual change"
Henry II. Sanger, cashier OF the
NaIlO0dl bdnk VI III uio
cussing the plan said that he could not
see where Il differed except In name
from the central bank, which has been
talked of for some time.
1T will perform practically the
same functions planned for the Cen.
trail bank" he said, ''even though II
is called an association. II is an ex'
tension of the Aldrich-Vreeland plan
for local bank associations, for the
purpose OF issuing emergency cur
rency, The widening Of the scope OF
activity OF the national banks Is an
important feature"
Charles Moore, of the Security
Trust Co., said: There Is no question
as to the need for central banking
power, with board Of governors who
/. can take the same broad view OF the
financial situation in this country that
the governors of the Bank OF England
can take OF the financial situation OF
the world. The directors OF an asso
citation such. as is proposed by Senator
Aldrich would have something bigger
to look at than the profit OF their own
particular bank, and the result would
be, therefore, generally satisfactory.

Only 1T Accidents Occurred Last

Meetings This Week.

Disasters OH the great lakes during

John Sharples and the Dunedin, were
abandoned to the underwriters.
j. s. Ashley, chairman OF the ad-

insure their own vessels 10 the ex-
tent of per cent, lost $4,000 on risks
during the season of 1909. it was inn
be made on last years records, as all
the claims had not been adjusted.
William Livingstone, president OF the
Lake Carriers association, brought up
the matter OF pensions for members
of the life-saving crews along the
great lakes. He pointed out the good
work which the Harbor Beach crew
did Monday night, in rescuing the i'm
periled fishermen on Lake Huron.
The life savers always worked under
trying circumstances and were most
worthy OF pensions In their old age,
said Mr.. Livingstone. He succeeded
in having a resolution adopted looking
toward action IN the matter by con-
gress.

the association dropped out. because
of having organized a branch OF their
own.
Harry Coulby, president of the
Pittsburg Steamship Co., made an ad-
dress. in which he complimented the
association on the good work II was
doing. He said the fact that there
were less disasters on the lakes last
year than formerly, was creditable to
the association. II showed that the
members of the association were
causing more care to be exercised in
the operation OF their vessels, Mr..
Coulby said.
