WARNS BANK DIRECTORS
Court of Appeals Defines Their
RIGHTS and Duties.

Albany Oct. 29.-The rights and duties
of directors OF financial corporations are
defined in a decision of the Court of APP
peals to-day which holds that Charles j..
Knapp, former director OF the Bing-
hamton Trust Company and a member
Of Knapp Brothers, private bankers OF
Binghamton, must stand trial on three
counts OF an indictment charging him
with violating certain provisions Of the
banking and penal laws regarding liability
of directors OF financial corporations.
1t was alleged that Knapp permitted the
trust company to lend to Knapp Brothers
more than the amount which the law
permits. The firm was indebted to the
trust company, according to the indict-
ment, for more than $4,000.
Judge Vann, in writing the opinion Of
the court, says:
Banking institutions are not created for
the benefit OF directors. While directors
have great powers as directors, they have
no special privileges as individuals. They
cannot use the assets OF the bank for
their own benefit, except as permitted by
law Stringent restrictions are placed
about them, so that wnen acting both for
the bank and for one Of themselves at
the same time they must keep within
certain prescribed lines regarded by the
Legislature as essential to safety in bank
ing business.

PASS EXPRESS DIVIDEND
Parcels Post and Lower Rates
Factors Influencing Action.

The directors Of the United States Ex-
press Company yesterday decided not TO
declare the semi-annual dividend usually
paid in November, per cent and in ex-
PLANTATION of their decision issued state
ment in which they said:
For the year ended June 80 last gross
revenue from operation increased sos, ISL,
and the increase In expenses was 81, 49,
1874; net earnings for the year from all
sources applicable 10 dividends were $780,
285
In view of these results and OF the
parcels post and the other problems now
confronting the company and the uncer-
tainty arising tnerefrom as TO future
earnings, the directors did not feel justi
ned in declaring dividend at this time.
The annual statement to shareholders
usually sent with the November dividends
VIII be issued within few days.
The recent order OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission directing the express
companies 10 make a reduction in rates
averaging about 20 per cent was also a
factor in the decision TO pass the United
States Express Company dividend, 1t Is
understood. 1t is estimated that the effect
Of that order will be TO diminish the gross
earnings OF the express companies by
S-o,VvJ,VOO 10 SoOiVJV,VUV a year. Inc ne"
rates are being transmitted singly to the
companies, and will become effective when
all shall have been received from the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Dividends at the annual rate Of per
cent have been paid by the United States
Express Company since November, 1909.
following a long agitation by minority
stockholders. Five per cent in all was
paid in 1909, per cent in 1903, per cent
in 1907, per cent from 1902 to 1905. inclu-
sive, and 81 per cent from 1886 to 1901,
inclusive.
Gross earnings OF the Adams Express
Company for the fiscal year ended juno 90
last were S34, ,s55, against 2,SS6,l& for
the preceding year, an increase OF $780,
TO; operating expenses were Ss2,ssS.Sss

S3l32,473, a decrease Of sS6S-26l; and after
deducting the charges. S1,255,o44, the bal
ance available for dividends was N,sT. 42s.
Dividend payments were N,2l00SO leaving
a surplus for the year Of S667,34 against

tai profit and loss surplus on June 30 was

President Darius Miller In his report 10
the stockholders refers 10 the heavy ex-
pendtures I'm recent years for reduction
OF grades and curvatures, and for more
and longer side and passing tracks,
heavier locomotives and larger equipment
through which tho train-load has been
greatly Increased. As q result OF these
improvements, he points out. In 1912 the
volume OF freight business handled was
substantially twice that OF 1901. with near
ly 10 per cent less OF freight train miles
run 10 move IL. He also mentions the
large disbursements for improvements
and additions, which in no way Increase
earnings. adding:
with the refusal OF public authority TO
hermit any increase OF Importance In
rates the problem OF providing funds Tor
these non-revenue producing improve
ments has become more difficult. II is
unyyise 10 pledge the credit of the COM
pany for expenditures Of this character
because there Is no compensation for the
Increase in fixed charges that results, ana
a prudent regard for the welfare OF the
comnany requires that such expenditures
should be provided as far as possible out
OF income.

PIPE LINES FIGHT CONTROL
Not Common Carriers, They
Say, in Court Arguments.

Washington, Oct 29.-Arguments were
begun to-day before the Commerce Court
on the application of five oil pipe line
companies for an injunction to restrain
the. Interstate Commerce Commission
from enforcing its order requiring them
to publish their scale Of charges Tor the
interstate transportation Of oil.
Substantially, the court must declde
whether the pipe lines are common car
riers under the law. The petitioners de-
clare they are not, inasmuch as they
transport oil only for themselves, and not
for the general public. They maintain
that the lines they operate are merely
plant facilities to enable them the better
to transact their business in refining
petroleum. over these plant facilities
they argued, the government has no con-
troll.
The government maintains that oil Is
commodity Of commerce, and that its IN
terstate movement through pipe lines sub
jects IT to the power OF Congress. Con-
gress has declared that companies trans
porting oil between states through pipe
lines are common carriers, and It is main
tanned by government counsel that they,
therefore, must conform to the act regu-
lating commerce.
The order of the commission has been
extended to make It's effective date De-
cember /. 1t is expected that the COM
merce Court will pass upon the app!ica-
ton for injunction before that time.

THE COTTON MARKET
Reaches New High Ground and
Holds an Advance.

Bullish spot advices from the South and
predictions for colder weather were the
main factors in an advance which early
carried January cotton contracts to $3.50,
over 50 bale above the recent low level.
March showed an advance to LILAC, or II
points over the close of Monday. The
opening was steady at unchanged to
points up, and although there was con-
siderable selling at the start, offerings
were absorbed quickly, and the upward
tendency continued through the day ex-
cept for slight reactions due to realizing
sales. Toward the end Of the session
prices essed off few points from the
best but the market held steady, and the
close was at net gain of 10 to Is points
for the day. Southern spot markets were
l-l64lsc higher, and the local market Tor
spot was up 10 points TO lO35c for mid
ding upland. Local contract prices:
