BANKING LAWS
ARE NOT AMPLE
STATE TREASURER URGES LEGlS-
LATloN FOR PROTECTION DE
PosIToRs In STATE BANKS.

According to W., J. Speer, state
treasurer, the banking laws of Geor-
gia are as delcient in protecting the
people from fraud as are the insur-
ance laws now under legislative in
vestigations.
I'VE need banking laws as badly
as We need insurance laws" said Col
onel Speer. Our bank examinations
are of the most superficial sort, and
aside from protecting the people from
fraud of the rankest sort that cannot
be overlooked are more or less worth
less.
Under the law and the amount of
money appropriated for bank exami-
nations, the examiners have too lit
tie time to pry deeply into the condi-
tions of the banks and examine COL
lateral. The examiners must simply
skim the surface, and as a result COL
lateral that is really worthless passes
as good stuff.
"The state can bring no prosecu-
tion for bank failure. That is an err
ror. The jurisdiction of the state
ends when the receiver is appointed
for an insolvent bank. Any criminal
prosecution Of officials must come
from county authorities or be brought
by stockholders or deposltors in the
defunct institution"

DYNAMITE USED
IN BLOWING UP
QUEBEC BRIDGE
THIS THE OPINION OF DETEC-
TiVES WHO ARE WORKING
ON THE CASE.
Forty Indians and Fifteen Americans
Investigation to Be Continued-Was
loss of $1,oo0,ooo.

Montreal, Feb. 27.-That the Que
bee bridge disaster which killed sew
enty-four men and caused a loss of
millions of dollars was due to an ex-
plosion, of dynamite placed there by
agents of disaffected bridge workers,
is the theory on which a number OF
detectives are making an exhaustive
examination here. The members of
the royal commission, which investi-
gated the calamity, never dreamed of
the possibility of any human being de-
string or attempting to wreck the
bridge and government officers never
will admit that they have any grounds
for suspicion.
The bridge was the longest canti
lever span in the world and was be-
ing erected by the Phoenix Bridge
company of PhoeniXville, Pa.,on whose
work in different parts of the United
States some of the worst atrocities
We're committed. A secretary of the
workers on the bridge came from Can
ada.
Only part of the regular force was
at work on August 81, when the bridge
fell, killing forty Indians and fifteen
Americans.

DELAY NAMING TICKET

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 12.-Fear of a
clash with Senator La Toilette

Progressive ticket by the State con
vention yesterday. However. there
was considerable sentiment, p%articu-

Wisconsin, for a complete ticket.
After celebrating until last night, the
committee on nominations reported
the following resolution without pro-
test:
1.-THE State central committee is
hereby directed to hold a meeting not
later than September "a, 1912, and If,
in the judgment of that committee at
that time, there Is no State ticket in
the field which the Progressive party
can consistently support, either in
whole or in part, the committee is
directed to make such nominations as
shall be necessary to insure a COM
plete State ticket, every candidate of
which supports the national candi-
dates of the Progressive party and is
in sympathy with the principles of
that party"

HUGHES
FOR ACTING LATE
Trenton Gazette Says Repub-

to Force Resignation.

TRENTON, Sept. 1.-THE Daily
State Gazette of today says:
".Stung nto action by the taunts of
the press because he was holding on
to his job as congressman, represent
ing the Sixth New Jersey district, and
also drawing the pay of judge ofgthe
Court of Common Pleas of Passaic
county, two salaries a~ggregating
$14,5 500 a year, and at the same time
being in the ace for the United
States senate as the favorite of Gov
ernor Wilson, Congressman William
Hughes yesterday sent his resigna-
ton as congressman to- Governor
Wilson.
ut was known at Sea Girt the
other day that this story was being
| spread all over the State and that
the Republicans had up their sleeves
Impeachment proceedings against
Hughes for holding on to his Job as
a congressman, the legislative branch
of the government, while he had been
named a judge, and while holding on
to both Jobs had been hiring at 500
a day a man TO sit on the Passaic
county bench, a rank outsider.
Feeling that such a situation, If
known, and the Republicans were
making 1t rapidly known, would hurt
the man he wanted to get the pref
erential vote of the Democrats for
the United States Senate, Governor
| Wilson or the forces acting for him,
advised Hughes to sacrifice some of
his double salary for the sakeeof the
party. Hence his resignation as con-
| gressman-he would be out anyway
March a next-went by the board, and
now Hughes will have time to sit as
the law judge of .Passaic county,
with the calendar nov o~vercrowded,
unless he Is forced to hire some n
else or retain Judge Martin to sit for
him while he goes out for the federal
office.
1.-THE freeholders of Passaic county
have been paying Judge Hughes's
salary since last spring, although he
has not sat in court. They have
baked once or twice at passing the
amount, but there vas nothing for it,
and they have paid him. In the
meantime Uncle Sam has been paying
him as a congressman"
