Does Baltimore clearing house
prescribe rules which prevent a bank
making its own price for exchange on
out-oftown checks?,' asked Samuel
Untermeyer, counsel for the commit

Yes, it amounts to that answered
Mr.. Cloud.
But that is throttling competition,
isn't it,"
We'll, | wouldn't say throttling."
John r. Bland. president Of the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
company, said his company had sought
in vain to secure the privilege of
clearing out-of-town checks through its
banks of deposit Within the last few
weeks, however, he had begun to
understand that arrangements were
being made by the clearing house TO
take care of the trust companies.
AS a result of the agitation of this
committee your object has been ac-
complished?" suggested Mr., Inter
meyer.
We'll, I could not say as to that.
Waldo Newcomber, manager of the
Baltimore clearing house. under Ques-
tioning by Mr.. Untermeyer, explained
that the clearing house had decided
that no more banks We're TO be ad-
nitted to clearing house privileges
without submitting to the rules of the
clearing house.
IF they We're thus admitted, he
said they might proceed by unconser

Washington, y. c., Dec. 9.-Whel
the committee began the hearing OF
the money trust investigation to
day Chairman Pujo made IA statement
in part as follows:
'ln resuming this inquiry the com
mittee feels that the many unauthor
lied, misleading and inspired reports
that have been circulated concerning
its work, and plans, should be cor
rected and that the public should be
warned against placing any cred
ence in them.
AT no time has there ever been
any friction, misunderstanding, or diff
ference either among the members or
with or between counsel. The utmost
harmony has prevailed and the re-
ports to the contrary have been sheer
iabrications. Nor is there any au-
thority for the persistent published
report as to proposed remedies or leg
iSlation.
Attention is called to the announce.
ment made at the outset OF the hear
ings last May, and since frequently
repeated, that the terms of the reso-
luton under which the committee is
acting cannot be full carried out uil
less congress shall have enacted the
bill that has passed the house and is
now pending in the senate, removing
all existing doubt as to the power of
the committee to inquire into the
part, if any, that is played by the ma
tional banks in the alleged concen-
tration and control Of money and
credit.
Meantime the committee will press
forward with the other heads of the
inquiry with the view of submitting
an intermediate report accompanied
by such recommendation as may be
deemed wise"
Methods of the Baltimore clearing
house were described before the
money trust committee of the house
al its hearing today by William A.
Cloud, president of the State Bank OF
Maryland He said his bank had ap
piled for clearing house privileges but
had been refused because it was not

house, but desired to clear through an

eiai Effort TO Increase
Membership.

Members OF the Modern woodmen OF
America are awaiting with considerable
interest the action OF the joint committee
OF IN. camps Of Omaha. South Omaha
ana other nearby places regarding the
steps to be taken TO change the action OF
the head camp in promulgating new
liable OF assessment rates.
The committee will meet "Wednesday
evening at Modern woodmen hall and Is
composed OF many Of the leaders OF the
organization In this vicinity. That some
concerted action will be taken looking to
the object in view Is certain. but what
form II will take has not yet been de-
fermined.
Thee Is very little talk OF seeding
from the organization and starting
new society. The fight viii no doubt
be carried on within the organization. and
as there is as much opposition TO the
increase In rates in the other states Of
the jurisdiction a. there is in Nebraska
the chances are good for a national cam
paign 10 force the head camp TO receds
from It's position.
. The Omaha Modern Woodmen are
almost a unit in the fight over the pro
posed Increase. 1t was thought at firsi
the opposition would be confined chiefly
TO the older members Of the order. but
the younger members seem just as much
opposed TO the raise as those more ad
yanced In years.

tee dissatisfaction with the new rate
Is almost unanimous here. yet th'
