new YORK BANK
MADE SSO,OOl,OOO
GEO. F. BAKER TELLS OF INSTITU-
TION'S ENORMOUS PROFITS.
262 PER CENT DIVIDEND
Financial Triumvir Declares There Is No
Improperly in One Man Holding
DirectOrships in Competitive
Institutions.

Washington Enormous profits by
the First National Bank OF New York
City were recounted by George F. Baker,
chairman of the board of directors of
the bank, as witness before the house
money trust committee Mr.. Baker fur
nished the COMMITTEES with records show
ing that since its organization in 1858,
with a capitalization Of 100000, the
bank has made profits amounting TO
more than $So,OOO,OOO.
In the four years since 1908, Mr.. Ba-
ker told the committee, the bank had
paid dividends Of 226 per cent, or more
than twice the total capitalization,
which is now s1O,OOO,OOO. When the
capital was increased to that amount in
1901 special dividend OF $9,500,000
was declared, Mr. Baker said, TO enable
the stockholders to take up the addi-
tional investment. In 1908, in order to
provide $1O,OoO,OOO of capital for the
organization of the First Securities Com
pany, to take over the business (which
the bank could not do under the law"
Mr.. Baker said special dividend of
$4,000, 900 was declared This was in
addition to the regular yearly dividends.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from the figures supplied by
Mr.. Baker, calculated that since he as
sumed the presidency Of the First Ma
tional, in 1873, that institution has paid
dividends of 1850 per cent on its orig
nal capitalization.
Mr.. Baker fatty opposed the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Untermyer that ma
tional banks be required to make public
their assets, in order that depositors
and stockholders might know the nature
Of securities held by the banks, the wit
ness declaring that he saw no possible
good that could come of such pro
vision.

Garment Workers Riot.

New York.-The appearance of a sol.
itary strikebreaker in front of down
town clothing factory was the signal
for one Of the NEST desperate riots the
police have had to contend with since the
garment workers began their strike.
Strikers attacked the man, policeman
went 70 his aid and in a few minutes
more thousand men and women were
fighting to tear the strikebreaker from
his protector. A dozen began to make
arrests, but most Of their prisoners were
wrenehed away almost as soon Is they
we're seized.

HOLD UP TAFT APPOINTMENTS
Republican and Democratic Leaders Fail
to Agree.

Washington. Efforts by Democratic
senate leaders TO make an agreement
with the Republican forces for a Joint
committee TO 60 over President Taft's
recent appointments and select certain
acts that should be confirmed by the
senate met with failure.
Attempt at compromise was the re-
suit Of meeting Of the special commit
tee appointed by the Democratic caucus
in December to evolve method OF ham
ding the hundreds Of appointments that
have been sent in by the president since
December Is. Leaders informally pro
posed to the Republicans that five menu
bers be selected by each party to take
up the task Of wedding out" the pend
ing nominations. A number OF Repub-
leans were called together to consider
che proposal and promptly rejected it.

COTTON EXCHANGES COMBINE
National Confederation Is Launched at
Memphis.

Memphis.-A gigantic Combinatiea Of
cotton exchanges and associations was
born in Memphis.
0vershadowing any similar organize
ton ever attempted, that cOnfederacy
of cotton interests, according to its
founders, viii make commercial history.
The most representative gathering of
cotton men ever held In the United
States or elsewhere stands sponsor for
the new association.
II will be closely affiliated body,
consisting Of the presidents of every
cotton exchange and state association in
the country. 1t will deal only in mat
tiers of national I'D international impor.
lance.
It's existence will mean that all dis
putes between European and Americas
interests can be settled with much less
loss of time and finances than formerly,
it is said
The Southern cotton men maintain
that the difference between European
and American grading is the cause sf
much confusion. A good middling in
Memphis is something else in Liverpool.
As result there is no end Of misunHer-
standings and long arbitrations,
Freight rates will be taken up, ipsur-
ance will be lowered if possible, storage
charges reduced wherever consistent and,
in short, everything possible dcss to
cut down the expense of handling.
No attempt win be made to regulate
the market, the supply or the demand.
The confederation win have nothing
whatever to do with prices or anything
of that nature, so it's organizers de-
clare.

CENTRAL BANK IDEA
ALONE is OPPOSED
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS EVERY
OTHER CURRENCY PLAN.
MANY PLANS ARE SUGGESTED
Morawetz Proposes System of Regional
Reserve Banks-Kuhn-Loeb Man
Favors Central Reserve
Organization.

Washington. That there is something
radically wrong with the American
monetary system was agreed to by all
witnesses before the Glass subcommittee
Of the house banking and currency com
mittee, which began series of hear
ings with the purpose of devising new
currency scheme to be recommended to
congress. All the witnesses told the
committee that what the country needed
was more elastic currency and con-
centration Of reserve funds, but opinions
as to how these ends could be accom-
phshed were variant.
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
board Of directors Of the Chase National
Bank of New York, advocated central
bank similar to the one proposed by the
National Monetary Commission, 81 per
cent of the stock to be owned by the
government, if necessary.
Victor Morawetz, director of the fnan-
cial affairs of the AtehisoR, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, proposed system Of
regional reserve banks to which the
power of issuing currency should be linn
tied, while Paul Warburg, Of the bank
ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Of New
York, insisted that central reserve or
ganization differing materially from a
central bank was the only feasible rem
edy.
Chairman Glass announced that mas
much as the Democratic platform de-
clared specifically against the monetary
commissions central bank plan, the ma
jority members of the committee felt it
was their duty to seek substitute.
Representative Bulkely questioned the
witness as to the guarantee Of bank de-
posits.
IF you think the guarantee Of depos-
its would stop runs on banks, the sooner
you get that idea out Of your head the
better" said Mr.. Hepburn. when the
people want money, they want it, and
nothing else will satisfy them. A guar
antee would count for nothing at all"

CORNERS VIOLATE
THE SHERMAN LAW
SUPREME COURT DECISION IN
CASE OF PATTEN.
INDICTMENTS ARE HELD VALID
Three Justices Deliver Dissenting 0Pin.
iOR-SOliCitOr General Says That
Decision viii Prevent Arti.
fetal Running Of Prices.

WashingtOn.-The supreme court Of
the United States laid down the far
reaching principle that corners Of inter-
state commodities, such as articles of
clothing and food, are in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law, and held that
as far as the Sherman law was CON
cerned, the Indictment in the New York
federal court of James Patten, Eugene
G, Scales, Frank H. Hayne and William
?. Brown for "conspiring to run an al
legged cotton corner" was valid. The
case against them was sent back for
trial OF other proceedings.
Justice Vandeventer announced che
opinion of the court. Justice Lurton de-
livered a dissenting opinion in which
Chief Justice White and Justice Holmes
concurred.
The majority Of the court held that
the circuit court for Southern New York
had decided that the indictment charged
a Withholding" OF the cotton from mar
ket, necessary element of corner,
as admitted by the government. The
minority held that the circuit court that
found the indictment did not so charge,
and for that reason the indictment was
faulty. According to all justices, the
correctness of the holding of the circuit
court as to the indictment charging 3
Withholding" and as to the sufficiency
Of the indictment on other technical
points has to be accepted at this time
without question by the supreme court.
Solicitor, General Bullitt, who present
ed the governments side of the case,
issued a statement after the decision
in which he said at least way had been
found to stop the running up of prices
BY men who sought to corner the market,
not only of wheat, corn, lard and other
commodities.

MANUFACTURERS

Americans.

Washington,-Fe that foreign prod.

lean market were expressed in the tes-
timony on the metal schedule of the
tariff before the house committee on
ways and means. The committee heard
arguments from representatives of manu-
featuring and producing interests print
ing presses, the zinc industry OF the
Rocky mountains and the Joplin fields,
the wooden screw manufacturers, of
which the American Screw Company con
trolled 40 or As per cent, and the $40,-
100000 output of machine tools and
numerous other products presenting a
virtually solid front against revision Of
the present tariff rates.
Keep on the tariff as it stands or it
will work hardship to American in.
dustry," was the consensus Of the senti.
ment of witnesses, all under oath, pre-
scribed by the chairman.
Chairman Underwood pointed out that
the committee was legislating for reve.
nue. for the present and not figuring on
what might happen in the future.
"This committee" said Mr.. Under
wood, cannot legislate on your fears
and on the conditions that you say you
expect. The committee ought to legis.
late to meet conditions when they arise"
Germanys constant lowering near the
customs line as serious competitor Of
the American industry was the constant
source of complaint in testimony. Rep
resentatives of the printing press, ma
chine tools, tinsel wire and other articles
told of the menace of German competi-
tion, and several manufacturers com
planned that foreign competitors were
quick to copy in detail all American
improved methods.
