NEW PHASE OF
 TIFF MONEY TRUST
INVESTIGATION WILL AFFECT EVERY CLEARING HOUSE AS
 ISOLATION IN COUNTRY.
Said Check Collections In New York Amounts to Seventeen Million
 Dollars Annually.

Washington, Aug. 1S.--A collateral phase Of the so-called money trust developed today is being investigat- ed by A;.Jrney General Wickersham The inquiry, which may affect clear ing house associations throughout the country, revolves about the rule of the New York Clearing House Asso- citation, requiring it's members to charge a specified sum for the col lection of out of town checks drawn on banks in certain parts of the coun- Itty, but at the same time giving them discretion whether to make charges for similar collections in other locali Ities. A careful study of the work ings of the rule is being made by the attorney general, it is said, to deter mine whether the Sherman antitrust law or the national bank act is being violated. If action is taken, it will stand as a precedent for all clearing house associations having similar rules.
 | While officials of the department Of Justice are reticent in regard to the inquiry, it, is learned, the attorney general may refer the whore ques-
 ton to the secretary of the treasury for remedial measures through the comptroller of the currency if 1t IS found that the law is being technically lyiclated
 l According to the rule of the New
 York Clearing House Association,
 blanks composing its membership are icompelled to charge ne-tenth of one Iper cent for collecting checks paya-
 ble in most of the states in the east and central west. while the charge for the far south and far west is one
 to charge or not to charge collection land the banks tre given discretion Icommissions on the checks of the
 United States government, New York lstate government, New York City Igoyernment and any checks payable in Boston, Providence, Albany, Troy, lJersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken.
 Newark, Philadelphia and Baltimore
 There are two questions involved lin the inquiry-the right of the banks Iby concerted action through the lclearing house association to agree Iupon fixed charges for collection and their right to charge in some locali-
 .ies and not in others.
 Representative of the department
 of justice have recently been in con ference with the manager of the New
 York Clearing House Association to
 ascertain the facts. The clearing
 house association. it is understood, lhas pointed out that in addition to
 the cost of collection, the charge is
 fair and necessary because a GUS
 toner is permitted to draw on an out
 of town bank, the bank receiving no
 interest during the period of oollec- ticn.
 These collections by New York
 hanks have been yariously estimated
 a. from sS,0OO,OOO to lt7OOO,OOO year | ly. The question was inquired into
 hy the house money trust committee
 during it's recent sessions in New
 York with William Sherer, manager
 of the New York Clearing House, on
 the stand.

1T was not sufficient that Jesus came
and died for mans sin. Such satisfac-

reditary weaknesses which led them to
the prison house, the tomb. Hence the
Redeemer is also to be the Restorer and
Lifegiver. The time for that deliverance
or restitution is still future. but near. 1t
will begin at Jesus second advent, says
ST. Peter

the Messiahs kingdom theory has been
exploded, declaring:
1T was Jesus himself that told Of His
future reign of thousand years, when
his bride-church-the elect will be as
sociated with Him in His kingdom and
work and when Satan shall be bound.
THE loss of this hope by our fore
fathers led on to all the grievous errors
from which we are now seeking to es-
cape. Do We not still pray. Thy king
