account of the losses has been kept,
Albert S. Osborn, an expert on hand
writing, estimates that they totalled
$15,000,000 through checks and drafts
alone during 1911. The chief new re-
striction now demanded is that the
bank insured shall not open an ae-
count with anyone not known person
ally to an officer or director or whose
integrity is not vouched for by a de-
positor. fayorite method of forgers
