1912, requires q thorough audit of the
assets and liabilities of savings banks
and the savings departments of trust
companies to be made annually by an
expert accountant designated by the
bank commissioner, whose compensa-
tion shall be fixed by the Governor
and Council. and, with his necessary
expenses incurred in making such
audit, shall be paid by the state from
taxes paid by savings banks and trust
companies, not appropriated to the use
of schools.
The act provides that this audit
shall embrace such details as the bank
commissioner may require, and that
examinations shall he made at such
times as he may direct.
| have assumed that it was the in
tention of the Legislature that this
audit should be made under the super
vision of the banking department, and
that all expert accountants engaged in
the work should be designated by the

sation fixed by the Governor and
Council. yet a literal construction of

sibility and labor. In any event, the
statute requires "a thorough audit to

Several Cities, and the Most
Successful Plans viii be
Discussed.

The forward movement plans of sew
eral Mississippi river cities, including
Keokuk, has received new impetus
by recently developed plans. These
plans, which provide for series OF
meetings among the Industrial and
Commercial clubs Of the cities In ques-
ton, have not been completely pre-
pared as yet, but within the course of
the next few days the plans will prob
ably have progressed that far that
definite announcement can be made.
Manager Dewitt, Of the Keokuk In
/ dustrial Association, has been having
some correspondence with various
civic organizations, including Presi-
dent H. G. Riggs, of the Quincy Cham
Der of Commerce, and T. t. Hitch, OF
the Fort Madison club, called on Man
ager Dewitt in person to acquain'
| himself with the plans.
If the plans materialize, which they
probably will do, there will be whole
sale swapping of ideas between Bur

cy and Hannibal. At these meetings
committees will meet with the Indus
trial or Commercial clubs of the cities
named, and those ideas and plans tina
have been found to work advantage

cities, will be exchanged. In this man
ner it is believed that each of tn
cities will profit, not only by the sue
cesses gained, but by the mistakes @
each other.
In all probability there will be Sc,

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE peculiar
secretive tactics adopted by the White
Star line regarding the accident to
when after giving out supplementary
list of the rescued with the announce.
ment that it had been received by
wireless, the company denied that 1t
had so been received.
The general passenger agent said 1t
was compiled by checking up the data
that was received yesterday and which
had been relayed to land by the Olym-
pic This followed a demand that in
formation be made public in regard to
the condition of the survivors of the
Carpathia, all of whom are known to
have suffered greatly from exposure
before being rescued. ~
I'VE are not in communication with
the Carpathia and have not been since
yesterday said the lines officials.
The line has been bitterly criticised
and particularly in view of the knowl-
edge that among the men saved is j.
Bruce Ismay, managing director of the
line. His presence on the Carpathia
was believed by many to be RESPONSE
BILE for the failure of the Carpathia to
send the details of the wreck. There
was also much criticism among the
relatives of the lost ones because Is
may had not remained with the ship,
but the officers of the line claimed
that he had gone with the boats be-
cause 1t was deemed necessary to have
some one in charge.
| There was not as many inquiries at
the office of the line today so far as
1 the first and second cabin passengers
were concerned but many thronged
/ the third class offices. There were
young couples who were expecting
aged parents for whose passage mon
ey they had toiled long and laborious.
ly. Then there were stalwart workers
who were expecting the sweethearts
who were to make homes for them In
! the promised land" There was little
information for any of them because
the officials had not yet completed the
comparisons of the list of the saved
with the steerage lists just received.
i Some of the inquirers could moi
make themselves understood by the
clerks and their grief was great. A
times men or women would breal
from the line almost fainting and witt
tears running down their cheeks
Many sustained themselves with hope
4 because the entire list of survivor!
was not yet available and forced
themselves to believe that eventual.
their loved ones would be saved.
Friends of Isidor Straus and his wifi
announced today that they had aban
doned hope that either had been say
led, They said they did not believ
that Mrs. Straus would have left he
husband, to whom she was devoted
unless he could accompany her int
the boat.
Numerous wild rumors that som
passengers had been picked up by liz
ers and We're being carried to Europ
were circulated but in every case the
failed to stand confirmation and
seemed certain details must ava
