POSTAL BANK DEPOSITS
PLEASING TO OFFICIALS
Success of System Declared to Have
Been Demonstrated the
First Month.

That the new postal savings bank SyS-
tenn ;,s an assured success is shown by
the reports of the first months opera
tiors saw officials of the department.
Forty-eight offices were employed to IN
auglrate the nc" system. Tho total de
rosjts at these Offices amount to approx
n,atelv sGGO11 an average of 81, 30
an Office If this average is maintained
throughout the year. the ANIMAL deposits
at the forty-eight offices will amount to
considerably more than S1uo.VN.
4 gratifying fact in connection with
these deposits, it is declared. is that the
greater Fart of them came from persons
of foreign birth. and many from those
VINO usually send their money abroad for
safekeeping.
The deposits thus far received, u IS SAID
are larger than those of the British postal
savings systt m. on the average. for the
most successful year of its history, 1908
Postmaster General Hitchcock has ask
ed Congress for an appropriation of
81 ooa .eG9 to extend the system. His con-
t:dence in the success of the new banks
is such that he is said 10 have declared
that he would at once establish :a1 more
if the funds for doing so were available.
Already he has received urgent requests
from all over the country for the cstab-
lisltment of postal savings BANS, eS-
neeialIy in the larger Offices The only
thing to prevent the extension is the
necessary money, which he thinks Con-

splendid returns.

Question of Statutes.

In discussing the statutes limiting the
amount of gift to church, the answer
says:
THE application Of said New Hamp-
shire statute concerns the state Of New
Hampshire only, and the application Of
said Massachusetts statute concerns the
commonwealth of Massachusetts only.
Neither statute prescribes any penalty
for it's violation nor imposes any restric-
ton upon testamentary capacity, nor af-
fects the right of a religious society to
acquire and hold property in excess of
the amount limited. as against all the
world except the sovereignty whose pol
icy might thereby be infringed. BY the
law. both of New Hampshire and of
Massachusetts, neither the heirs of the
testator nor any other private indiyid-
uals can inquire into or contest the right
of corporation or religious society to
make requests and deviseS under legis-
lation OF this character. but ii is exclu-
siveiy for the state. in its sovereign ca
pacity. in its sole discretion to inquire
into and contest the same BY quo war
ranto or any appropriate process if it
sees fit.
