First National Fire Insurance Company
of the United States, and it is intended
its business shall be conducted on a coun-
try-wide scale. An extensive campaign
for the sale of stock will be conducted
by mail, it being proposed to place the
entire issue of 100000 capital stock at
double par, so that total of $1,000 900
in cash will be Immediately available,
and the company will thus at once be
placed in possession of a suffihient re-

Gov. w. w. Kitchin opened the North
Carolina senatorial campaign at Raleigh
last night in his own behalf I'm an ad-
dress to the Kitchin Club, making a sharp
attack upon the senatorial record Of Sem
atOr Simmons.
The record Of Senator Simmons was
made the basis of the whole speech, and
the speaker did not refer to either of his
other two opponents, ex-GoV. Aycock and
Chief Justice Walter Clark. Charging
that Senator Simmons is entirely out of
harmony with the democratic party and
that he had done much to "republicanize
the thought of North Carolina Gov.
Kitchin appealed to his hearers not to
follow a man whose leadership of the
state democracy had recently embarrassed
1t SO much. He invited Senator Simmons
to q joint discussion Of the issues be-
tween them.

money TRUST" PROBE
WILL Be THOROUGH
Statement of Speaker Clark
Discusses Investigation to
Begin Monday.

The money trust inquiry to be begun
next Monday by the House banking and
currency committee will be thorough and
comprehensive. according to statement
issued last night by Speaker Clark. The
statement is as follows:
Monday morning the House commit
tee on banking and currency will open a
vigorous, thorough and far-reaching in
vestigation into the money power. In con-
Quoting It's work the committee will have
at its command every facility within the
gift Of Congress- 1t will be empowered
to subpoena and compel the presence of
witnesses; it will have the right to pun
ish with contempt all who refuse to an
swer questions.
Best Legal Talent.
"a resolution comforting such power
will be reported Immediately following
roll call today, and will be passed by the
House of Representatives without delay.
The people have demanded that an inves-
tigation into the money power shall be
made. Therefore it must be made as
complete as human intelligence will per-
nit. The best possible legal talent will
be employed to aid the committee. The
first witness to be summoned will be
Lawrence Murray, the controller of the
currency. BY virtue of his position, this
official should have intimate knowledge OF
the money system as 1t exists. Therefore
it Is wise to begin with him.
II feel sure that in his statement Sam
uel Untermyer is correct in at least a
number OF particulars. Issues of bonds
should by all means be controlled by law
For instance, it is neither just mol
equitable that a railroad company OF
other corporation should be permitted tc
put a new issue of bonds upon the market
without first filing with the proper au-
thorities proof that it is possessed OF
property covering, dollar for dollar, the
value of those bonds. Otherwise the pur.
chaser is without assurance that he is re-
ceiving value for his money.
"a law is needed also to prevent bank
ing reserves throughout the country from
being drained in New York I believe
that such law would help provide a
remedy for at least part of the trouble.
But the people may rest assured that
the investigation about to begin will reach
the very nerve centers of the situation
The members of the committee realize the
necessity for action and are enthusiastic
