FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF SINNER, TEXAS.
Retrospective.


During the year 1898, when
Sinner was a mere village, Capt.
Chas. Welhausen perceiving the
necessity for banking facilities
to transact the growing business
of the town, opened and con-
Quoted a private bank with ample
capital to take care of the bust
ness of this vicinity at the time.
This bank was successfully
conducted until III latter
part of 1900, when the business
had grown to such proportions
that it was found expedient to
Nationalize and be under the con-
troll of the U. S. Government,
In December, 1900, the private
bank of Capt. Welhausen was
converted into the First National
Bank of Sinner, with a paid up
capital stock of 100000, add
ing to the board of directors and
stockholders, e. r, VOTERS, VIM.
Green, Philip Welhausen and Earl
Fry. Later on Peck Welhausen
was added to the list of officers
and stockholders and assumed
an active partin the management
of the bank.
The clerical force is we'll or
! G lnized into departments and
work in perfect harmony. Rec
emily a complete Foreign Elk
change department was added
which makes it possible for GUS
toners to make collections and
money transfers to almost every
part of Europe. Mr.. W. Paul,
who is in charge of this depart
ment, speaks and writes three
languages and is well versed in
foreign financial affairs, which
makes this department very use,
full to customers.
The stockholders did not dis
tribute the annual. earnings of
the bank until the working capi-
tai was increased to 800, 100000,
thereby keeping pace with the
legitimate demands Of the COM
munity and adding to the strength
of the bank. Now with it's pres
ent resources and credit it is the
strongest bank in Lavaca Coun-
ty, if not between San Antonio
and Houston, and the confidence
of the community in this bank is
evidenced by it's list of over 1900
satisfied customers.
This bank stands on it's own
merits and business qualifica-
tions, answerable only to the Fed
eral Goyernment,a ndls not hamp-
cred by any affiliations or con-
siderations and not made re-
sponsible for the mismanage-
ment or failure of other banks
punder the law.
1t will be admitted that a num-
Der of prosperous establishments
and business enterprises in Shi-
ner were made possible by the
assistance of this bank, a fact to
which it may refer with pardon
able pride.
Elsewhere in this issue of. the
Gazette appears the 10th annual
statement, which please read and
analyze carefully and you will
find that the First National Bank
of Sinner, Texas, ranks among
the strongest financial institu-
tions in Southwest Texas.

LIABILITY ACT APPLIES
TO TERMINAL COMPANY
Court Of Appeals Reverses
Judgment Of Lower Court
in Damage Suit.

In an opinion by MI. Justice Van Ors-
del, the District Court OF Appeals yester-
day afternoon declared tho Washington
Terminal Company q common carrier with
in the purview OF the employers liability
act. The decision reverses the Judgment
Of the District Supreme Court. which
in holding the company not q carrier,
rendered q verdict in its favor in the
suit brought by Edward AfcNamara, q
foreman in the employ Of the Baltimore
ana Ohio Railroad Company. who was
injured in the station January %, 1905.
Vested Rights Under Charter.
The terminal company owns many
miles Of tracks and switches In the
District, over which all passenger traffic
conducted by any steam railroad entering
the District must pass. BY its charter
the Appellate Court points out the COM
pany is vested with all the rights. pow
ers and privileges Of railroad COM
pany. It must be conceded, the court
says, that the tracks and station of the
terminal company are used in facilitating
interstate commerce. The passengers.
baggage and express moved over it's
tracks and through It's station are In
course Of transportation between the
District Of Columbia and the states
Counsel for the company had contended
that the terminal company does not own
car not carry q passenger. and cannot
therefore be a common carrier.
Courts View Of Company's Plea.
Justice Van orsdel in answering this
contention says: ITO make a common
carrier within the commerce clause of
the Constitution. it Is not necessary that
the company should own a car or carry
q passenger. It owns a railroad and station
and through its agents controls the opera
ton OF the trains over its tracks and into
and out of the station. 1t is sufficient if
1t owns and controls one of the instru-
mentalities essential in carrying on trade
and commerce between different points
without the use and subjection to the
control OF which such trade and COM
merce cannot be conducted"
