BANKERS ARE SATISFIED
WITH IOWA ALLOTMENT

The bankers of Sioux City are we'll
pleased at the announcement that
$1,000,000 has been assigned by the
government to the banks of Sioux City
and Des Moines. The sum is not quite
up to the amount asked for by the
banks Of the city, but is all that was
really expected, and it is the unani-
nous verdict of the bankers that it
will be of great assistance in the crop
movement this fall.
The banks of the city are In the
best Of condition and could have
handled the situation without this as
sistance, but nevertheless the money
assist materially in h movement of
h crops.
1T is the best idea the government
has had in a long time" declared j.
]. Large, of the First National bank.
The government has heretofore fol-
lowed the antiquated custom of lock-
Ing it's money up in vaults and shut
ting 1t out Of circulation, but this will
put the money where it is needed and
when it is needed"
I'VE approve of Secretary McAdoo's
Innovation" said T. A. Black, Of the
Security National bank. "and while
we were in no wise in Distress, yet
we did not wish to appear to be hos
tile to the administration and there

propriation."
Security Is the Very Best.
The governments money is ex-
changed for gilt edged security as
the most conservatively managed bank
in the country would not hesitate to
accept and the margin between the
total amount of collateral put up and
the amount of money deposited by the
government is sufficiently large to full
ly protect the government. On the
best Of bankable paper used as col
lateral, so per cent can be drawn, on
municipal bonds rs per cent, while on
any government bonds which the banks
may have on hand, not used as y
basis of circulation, Of course, the full
100 per cent can be drawn.
Change in Time Requested.
The banks of the city requested, at
the time their applications for an p
portionment were sent in, that the
times of payment be changed a little
because Of the different conditions pre-
vailing in a corn and cattle feeding
territory. According to the rules an"
announced by the government. 70 per
cent Of the money was to be returned
each month. beginning with December
and ending with March. The banks
of Sioux City requested that the coll
lections should begin in January anu
end in April. The reason assigned tor
this change was that It requires a
longer time to move a crop of corn
than of wheat or other grain, and
especially is this true where many
cattle are ted. Corn, when sold di-
rectly, is not usually marketed until In
December and January, while. ii fed to
cattle, the marketing is delayed until
March and April, and even as late as
June. For this reason, an extra month
would be of the greatest assistance 10
the local banks. 1t is not yet known
whether this request has been rante
Several of the leading bankers were

case of q 13-year-old girl bought for
some pigs and a cloak. The supreme
court OF the islands released the slave
trader on the ground that no crime had
been committed, because no physical
force had been used. This one case,
Mr.. Worcester says, has blocked other
slavery prosecutions. The Philippine
assembly has blocked laws for the
suppression OF the traffic, he says, be-
cause many Of the members come from
provinces where slavery flourishes.

New York, Aug. ga piece of

OF the city hall bomb mystery. The
cambria was wrapped around the four
sticks Of Dynamite found yesterday in
an areaway directly below Mayor Gay

The bomb was anything but a hoax,
for the fuse had been lighted and had
gone out Just before the spark reached
the detonator. An explosion would
have caved In the side Of the building.
The dete lives, however, could not de-
eide whether the dynamite was meant
for the mayor or for someone in the
marriage license bureau, or was plant
ed as q protest against the city gov
eminent in general. .
A cambria wrapper directed the
search today among Italian workmen

the amount found would, If exploded, have
wrecked the city hall.
: The mayor was in his office when the
dynamite was discovered by citizens pass
ing through City Hall park. Mr.. Gaynor
evinced little interest when told of the
explosives proximity and remained ap-
parently undisturbed at his desk while
police officers hurriedly drew a Gordon
about the dynamite to keep back an ex-
cited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives threat
ening letters, but tonight he would make
no statement regarding the possible con-
nection between n previous threat by
mail and the dynamite today. 1t is just
three years g this month that he was
shot in the neck by O so-called frank and
so badly wounded that for several days
1t was feared he would die.
The police authorities say that laborers
sometimes carelessly drop dynamite sticks
near their blasting operations. There Is
an excavation shaft on the Broadway side
of City Hall park, leading to the new sub
way construction. Detectives are making
a close Investigation tonight of this loca-
ton, although the contractors declare that
they do not use 40 per cent dynamite in
their operations.
