MUNSEY TO HEAD

Two Million Dollar Banking

ing, Which Is Already Equipped
for the Purpose.

Frank A. Munsey will head a 5000 900
trust company, which will also bear his
name, to be opened in Washington about
the middle of next month.
For several days past representatives
Of Mr.. Munsey's trust company in Balti-
more have been looking over the local
field, and it is presumed they have en-
deavored to collect staff of clerks and
tellers
Two years ago Mr.. Munsey and a
number of local business men, together
with several members of the Munsey
staff. applied for charter for a trust
company, and on a hearing, the Dis
trict Commissioners, granted it. 1t was
stated at that time that a national bank
would also be organized.
The matter was then dropped. The
SUCCESS of the Munsey Trust Company
Of Baltimore probably inspired the re-
opening of the matter, and the recent
attempt to buy control Of the Continent
al Trust Company, with intent to change
the name and remove the company to
the banking quarters in the Munsey
building, which have been ready for &C.
cupancy ever since the structure was
erected. The effort to buy Senator
SCOTS. bank failed.
1t is generally believed that associates
with Mr.. Munsey in the Baltimore ven
ture will be prominent in the local
trust company. and that many of the
local business, men, who appeared as in
corporators two years ago, will not be
connected with il.

The banking office, on the main floor
of the Munsey Building. the future home
of the company. is equipped with desks
vault. and even to the letter press. so
that there will be no delay in getting
under way on that account.
1t has generally been supposed that
Mr. Munsey would undertake banking by
mail from Washington City, using his
maya zine and other publications in the
interest OF the business. No announce
ment Of intention has been made as yet.
1t is probable, however, that underwrit-
ing operations on a large scale will be
Washington now has twelve national
banks, six trust companies, and sixteen
savings .banks-enough for the business
of a city twice its size. The fight for
deposits-the profit of a bank-is fierce,
but is liable to be made hotter by the
entrance Of the Munsey Trust Company.
II is not known whether or not Mr..
plans to dispose of the Munsey
to the trust company.

ANTI.GAG ACT INVOKED.
4 ssociat ton Brings Oakland (Cal.)
Case Before Department.

Awaiting himself of the La Toilette
anti-gag law passed last year, Oscar F.
Nelson, of Chicago, president of the Ma
tional Association of Postoffice Clerks,
yesterday called upon First Assistant
Postmaster Daniel c. Roper and filed
charges against Postmaster P. NJ Schaef-
ef, of Oakland, Cal. Representative
Knowland, of that Congressional district
it is understood, will press the charges.
This is the first instance where the So
called anti-gag law has been invoked as
a cause of action against government
official. The charges deal directly with
the case of John NJ. Haas, a clerk in the
Oakland postoffice, who was dismissed
for promoting the local organization
there.

ARC BEATS SPARK.
Wireless Tests Demonstrate Wave
IL Inferior at Long Range.

The extensive experiments in radio
communication carried on between the
giant wireless station at Arlington, Va,
and the scout cruiser Salem have dem
onstarted the superior efficiency of trans
mission by means of an electric arc, in
stead Of through the usual spark.
1t was found by the naval wireless ex-
perts that at ranges above 1000 miles the
continuous, or 'undamped" oscillation
from the arc is much more efficient than
the waves from the spark. At ranges Of
1000 miles this increased efficiency is
four times that of the spark wave.
Previously it has been claimed, both in

radiation was the same from both meth

Virtual Exoneration for Police
Expected in Report Of the
Senate Subcommittee.
HEARING NEARLY ENDED
Senator Poindexter's Name DRAGGED
Into Case by Physician from
Emergency Hospital.

Following morning and afternoon Sos
sions yesterday, Chairman Jones, Of the
Senate subcommittee, which has been in
vestigating the suffrage outrages COM
mitted March 8, announced that he hoped
to conclude the hearings after a session
this morning. The probabilities are that
the committees report, declaring that
outrages were committed. but failing TO
fix definite responsibility and virtually
generating the metropolitan police force,
will be submitted to the Senate soon after.
Indications are that the report will be
unanimous, signed by Senators Jones,
Dillingham;. and Pomerene.
Yesterday afternoon Maj Sylvester,
conducting the case for the defense,
placed on the stand eight of his officers.
All of them exonerated Mai Sylvester
from any responsibility in the fiasco. de-
claring that he impressed on them his
desire that the women be protected from
annoyance. They declared, with one ex-
ception. that in the majors place they
could not have improved upon the pre-
cautionary measures he took. Capt. Da-
ley declared that too many men were
stationed between Maryland Avenue and
Peace Monument, and that some of the
mounted men who comprised the escor.
for then President-elect Wilson could
have been spared for Pennsylvania Ave
nue.. Later it developed that Capt Daley
was misinformed as to the number of men
stationed between Maryland Avenue and
Peace Monument. Other officers who tes-
titled We're Capts. Williams, Mullhali.
Burns Peck. and Elliott, and Lieut..
Duval, Sergts Rainey and Mccormack.
Louis NJ Bernstein, an attorney, who
marched with the mems contingent OF
the parade. declared that he had plenty
of room throughout the line Of march.
How Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton ignored a police badge and held UP
an ambulance on its way to a hospital
here was dramatically told yesterday to
the Senate committee investigating the
conduct of the police on that occasion
by DR.. Arthur NJ. Zinkham, of Emer-
gency Hospital.
After fighting his way through the
crowds and getting a patient. the doctor
said he was stopped on the way back
by the Senator, who ran in front OF the
horse. brandishing his cane. and in an
excited manner ordered the driver TO
take the side streets DR.. Zinkham de-
clared that was impossible under the
existing conditions and that the Senator
did not disclose his identity, and even
after the doctor showed his police badge
the Senator persisted in his course. The
doctor said he was compelled to walk
ahead of the ambulance. which con-
tanned an urgent case. and clear the
way. He was under the impression that
Senator Poindexter finally moved aside
to permit him to pass.
Frank G. Wood. officer of the day OF
the Boy Scouts, gave testimony favorable
to the police. Replying to questions he
said he observed some rowdyism. but
that as a rule the great crowd was
good natured.
