HOUSE HISTORY
TELLS PROSPERITY STORY
Was Organized in Birmnghams Lean Years Few In
Comparison With Those Prosperous Interesting Sketch
and Early History of Banking Houses in This CITY.
By MISS INA SHEPARD
Manager Birmingham Clearing House Association

The financial ups and downs of most
cities is reflected in the story told by its
clearing house, although this data is not
always an accurate reflex of the volume
of business really transacted This is
especially true of elearings in the city OF
Birmingham. These elearings consist
solely of local checks, without foreign
items or any of the modern clearing
house methods used to roll up big totals
The history of the local association is
interesting to many of the older inhab-
itants as it shows the appearance and
disappearance of several banks and the
wonderful increase in the amount of
business handled from year to year.
The Birmingham clearing house was
organized June l. 1889. with the following
nine banks as charter members some of
which are not even familiar to the mem
ory of the present day citizen, viz; i
First National bank.
Alabama National bank.
Berney National bank.
American National bank.
City National bank.

Trust and Savings company was first

There is probably no better asset in the
city of Birmingham than it's beautiful
houses. Those homes represent not only
splendid structural work, but the prosper
ity of their owners. If one may judge
city by its homes Birmingham is already
the metropolis of the southern country.

one little catch ad, "Spotless Town" ;"
People who come and look over Birming-
ham carefully are admitting that this
town despite its tremendous amount of
manufacturing and milling is really the
srotless town of the south. Birmingham
could well put forth the watchword,

vested outside Of its own community,
but sufficient latitude should be given
so that these funds could be invested
in the community where they are de-
posted.
Transfers at Par.
-Third-The item as to the transfer
of deposits from one bank to another
should not be regulated by the act
so that an extra charge could not be
made In other words, to compel ex-
change transfers to be made at par.
This point was one which is most
strenuously insisted upon by the
country banks. 1t is stated that as
the bill is now drawn II would result
in q decrease in the net earnings OF
the average country bank by rs per
cent. Furthermore, the gain would
net go into the pockets of the business
men of America. but would be en-
joyed by banks at collection centers,
which today are making satisfactory
profits. The country banks seem to
feel that this would take the profit
from the country bank which could
least afford to spare it, and give the
pIOll 70 BduAo WHICH were oil Oouy
showing satisfactory returns.
@Fourth-The country banks de-
sired, in the question of reserves, that
country banks should have the right
to keep not less than one-third of
such reserve with approved reserve
agents In the fiscal centers. In the
ordinary commercial transactions, af-
far fha law went ff1to effect the CONN.,
try bank would still have to maintain
balances in certain centers, such as
New York. Chicago, San Francisco
and st. Louis, In the banks which
they would use as their correspond
ents, and they desire to have the OPP
portunity Of having their deposits In
such banks as part OF their reserve.
Government to Control.
Speaking generally, most of the
banks believe that the change may
be made without any serious disturb
ance. Furthermore, it is quite gener.

INCUBATOR BABY.
PARENTAGE Fight
in HIGHEST COURT
ray Latest MALL

WASHINGTON. - A unique case 20
come before the supreme court q the
session to begin in few days, IS one
in which the court was called upon TO
determine the parentage of the "incu-
bator baby viewed by thousands at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
ST. Louis.
Mrs. Lottie Bleakley, of Topeka,
Kan, Says she is the mother of the
little two-pound mite, which was plac-
ed In the worlds fair incubator. She
has fought in the courts of Illinois and
Kansas for possession of the girl, now
8 years old, and will appear before the
court as a prosecuting witness against
a detective who is charged with hay
ing kidnapped the girl from her home.
Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Barclay of
Douglas county, ILL.,, assert the child is
their adopted daughter. Barclay, who
was an employe at the fair grounds,
watched the baby grow in its little
glass cage. The Barclays assert in
vestigation shows Mrs. Bleakley is
mistaken about being the mother of
the child. They say her child died a
few DAYS after it's birth.

THE administration is DESTROYS of
obtaining the opinion of country
banks AAcountry bank is broadly de-
fined as one situated out Of the re-
serve. city. In Boston IAN informal
meeting Of country bankers was held
Just prior to the convention, and It
was there stated that a country bank
was one win capital Of $250,000 or
under. These country banks passed
resolutions which fairly reflected the
sentiments Of the country banks. A
satisfactory banking system has long
been desired by the people Of the
country. and legislation UPON the sub
ject has been long delayed. The eff
forts Of the administration at Wash
ington tending to pass statute at an
early date we're commended.
Four Amendments

Revenue Department will clarity the
provisions of the bill so that the con-
fusion will be avoided.
Generally speaking, the condition of
the banks throughout the country is
extremely satisfactory. The crop
moving period has passed without any
particular disturbance. The banks
feel confident that they will handle
the situation for the coming year and
that tfSre need be no cause for un-
easiness. Trade conditions seem to
be in most lines in an uncertain con-
dition, owing to tariff changes. How
ever, to large extent, these changes
have been discounted. A readjust-
ment is bound to take place in many
lines. A hopeful feeling prevails and
people believe that the country is
equal to the emergency. In many
quarters it seems to be the opinion
that some of the items of the present
tariff bill will not remain for a long
time up the statute books"

Firemen Are Injured.
In an attempt to scale slippery
roof of one of the cottages, three
members of the fire department re-
ceived injuries that sent them to the
Queens hospital for treatment.
Under the direction of Foreman d.
Maikai, Foreman H. Smith and Hose
man @. Betz with him had assembled
the ladder and all were we'll up on the
roof, when the pressure against the
nozzle of the hose became released, the
shock sending the men to the ground
below. The three were in charge OF
heavy steel nozzle holder, and 1t
was through this implement that the
firemen met with bruises and cuts.
Two fingers on Maikai's right hand
were badly crushed as the nozzle was
torn from his grasp. Upon his arrival
at the hospital 1t was found that am
putation was necessary.
Foreman Smith is today nursing an
arm that bears long and deep cash. \
He is expected to be able to resume
his duties at central station within a
few days.
Betz had two fingers crushed, but
there is hope that they can be saved.
His condition is such that he will be
laid up for some time,
Another Fireman Injured.
A fourth fireman connected with

which did considerable damage to the
