They shook hands and the artist

At the table Lila found herself ac-

glad to meet her again.
The next morning they met in the
front piazza. "I'm going to hunt for

Charles Jt. Rushmore, demanded the opportunity to make certain eXplana- tions as to his position in regard to the clearing house provision, whereby New York banks must charge a uni form rate for the collection of out of-town checks. Mr. Untermeyer char acterized this rule as a usurpation of power of officers of the bank and as tending to eliminate competition, and remarked that the clearing house might just as well prescribe uniform rate of interest on deposits as is done un- der the rules of the Salt Lake City clearing house. Mr. Frew said this should be stopped" but defended the out-of- town collection rate rule.
 The committee ordered Mr. Frew to submit his request in writing and he probably will be allowed to resume the stand tomorrow to make further statement.
