QUEEN 0N HER [
 LAST VOYAGE

The Excursion steamer Queen ar rived in Skagway this morning at 5 o'clock and special train was made to take the large crowd wore to Ben nett. This will be the last trip of the Queen this season and 1t has so far proved to be one of the most enjoyable on account of the delight ful weather which has prevailed.
 Yesterday the party in large mum bers climbed over Muir glacier de spite the warnings of Mrs. Hart, the official lecturer aboard the ship, that it was growing very unsafe. The note of danger seemed to add the neces- sary spice that made the desire ir- .resfstible.
 Sly old Dan Cupid is aboard yet, and this time has truly cut up in a disgraceful way according to Mrs. Hart. who attempted early in the voyage to get the younger folk to- gether and form Queen chorus. The young folks immediately paired off and when the Indian River walk was reached it was all over for some of them.

BANK PROMOTERS
PUT UNDER BAN
Comptroller Murray Takes
Action Against Boosters.

Tho professional promoter Of national
banks will now 30 on the blacklist Of the
Treasury Department.
The action was taken yesterday which
viii in future prohibit the issuance of
charters for national banks where the
government 10 satisfied that the demands
Of the community do not justify the es-
tablishment Of q bank, but is the result
Of the activities Of professional bank
boosters"
To this end Comptroller Of the Cur
rency Lawrence o. Murray has issued an
order that no consideration will be given
to an application to organize Q national
bank which is being promoted by profess
sional bank promoters. and that here
after when applications to organize ma
tional banks are fled they must be accom-
panied by a statement to the effect that
no payment will be made for any kind
OF service In soliciting stock subscrip-
tions or promoting in any manner the or
gantzation Of q bank.
In some cases which have come to the
knowledge Of the Comptroller, Il has
been shown that the promoter Is salts
ned to organize the bank for q fee of IS
or 80 on each share Of the stock. In
other cases. he has an UNDERSTANDING
that he is to be elected to ONCE, receiv-
ing a salary, and be given the privilege
OF having q company in which he is in
terested loan the funds OF the bank on
q commission basis.

RIGGS BUILDING
ANDNEW THEATER
Will Cost Nearly One Mil
lion Dollars. +

When J. H. de 6ibour advertised last
week for proposals for the wrecking Of
the old Riggs House and the Citizens' Ma
tional Bank Building. which adJoins It
on the south. the first step was taken
looking to the erection Of the most beau
tiful business building In Washington
The new Riggs building and theater will
occupy all Of the site Of the two old
structures. It will cost more than $4,000
1t marks the completion Of the group
Of business buildings in Fifteenth street,
which, beginning with the construction Of
the Union Trust Company's handsome
white granite ediflce, five years ago, has
transformed that thoroughfare from one
OF the least to one Of the most attractive
In the National Capital.
The de Sibour plan calls for a building
eight stories in height. The first two
floors will be of white marble, the re-
mainder. except for the mansard, will
be Of white terra Gotta. The roof will
be Of copper. In general design the
building will resemble the Metropoli-
tan National Bank Building. which ad-
joins its south side, except that in place
of the four massive columns which adorn
the front Of the Metropolitan structure
the newer building will have pilasters
with Corinthian capitals, to match those
OF IT'S nef8hOor.
The ground floor of the Fifteenth street
side of the Riggs Building will be de-
voted to the following purposes: There
will be a huge cafe in the corner Of the
building. Next on the south will be the
eentrance to the theater. Below will be
two stores. The one adjoining the thea
ter entrance has already been leased to
the John n. Huyler Company, thus bring
ing the soda fountain and the caramel
emporium in closest relation to its best
market-the vaudeville show.
On the G street side will be the main
entrance to the Office building and the
exits for the theater. Between the
theater and the main building entrance
will be a spacious alleyway furnishing
the emergency exit for the theater.
The Fifteenth street side Of the build
ing, above the first floor, will be wholly
for Offices. The G street. or theater, por-
tion will extend upward for five stories
and will be topped with three more
stories Of ONCE rooms.
1t is the expectation Of the architect
that the demolishment Of the buildings
now occupying the site Of the new one
can be commenced not later than June
Is. There Is a possibility that the foun-
dations of the new building will be COM
menced as early as July Is. The building
will be ready for occupancy about SeY-
tember 1. 1912. at which time the theateY
will be opened also.

STATISTICS OF BANKS

an excessive surplus fund, and that the
smallest class Of banks. or those with
capital under $4,000. build their Surplus
up to practically the minimum require
ment. and then pay out further earnings
to their shareholders. The fact that this
latter class Of banks has been In opera.
ton only about ten years doubtless has
some bearing upon this condition.
With respect to the banks with capital
under $4,000 located in the several geo.
graphical divisions. it is shown that this
class Of banks located in the Eastern
states .olds the highest proportion Of sur.
plus to capital. or over ss per cent, while
the rate OF dividend paid shareholders Is
the lowest for all the sections, or rs Der
cent. Banks Of this class located In the
Western States held about M psr cent
Of surplus. and paid the hishsst sverige
rate Of dividend. or about Il II per cent.
National banks located In the Eastern
States have the highest proportion Of sur
plus to capital but those pay1uG the
highest rate OF dividend on capital are
located In the Western States. whore the
proportion Of surplus to capital 10 lowest.
