would have the commission consist Of one
grower. one commission merchant and a
suitable number Of others identified with
the handling or sale of farm products.
The growers also went on record as
favoring the bill OF state Senator Frank

The Wagner-Armstrong child labor bill

AVOID S10,OOO,OOO FIGHT
Heirs of Richard T. Crane Keep
Out of Court.

Chicago, FEB. 2l--A legal battle over
the disposition OF the so. 100000 estate of
Richard 7. Crane has been averted, ac-
oording To announcement made by Richard
T. Crane, jr.
In disposing of his estate the ironmas-
ter took cognizance OF gifts made to his
children lie wiled that his sons. Richard
L. jr.. and Charles r., should control
equally his principal business, and dis
trbuted stock to them accordingly. After
his death it was discovered that one OF
the sons had sold some Of his stock. This
embarrassed the proposition of equal con-
troll" Indirectly affecting other heirs, and
il was only after many conferences that
the heirs were kept from throwing the
matter into the courts.
Charles x. Crane was appointed Minis
ter to China by President Taft, but was
recalled as he was about to sail from
San Francisco.

E. C. CONVERSE RESIGNS
Retires from Directorate OF
Guaranty Trust Company.

That the older men OF Wall Street, who
have held financial power for many years,
are being succeeded by younger genera
ton. was again brought to public atten-
ton by the resignation Wednesday Of II.
G. Converse, president Of the Bankers
Trust Company. as a director Of the
Guaranty Trust Company. llr. Converse is
following the example Of other leaders Of
finance, who on account of advancing
age. have felt they have served their
time and have gradually concentrated
their interests in their own institutions.
In discussing Mr.. Converse's retirement
from the Guaranty board yesterday a
member OF J. T. Morgan & Co. said that
his resignation was due Ia a desire 10 re-
linquish duties that confiicted with the
management of the Bankers Trust Com
pany, and that there was no other sig
niiCancc to the action. The idea that this
was only the beginning of general dis
ruption of interocking directorates, as
suggested by the counsel for the PlJo
committee. was ridiculed.
II was at the beginning Of 1872 that
James Stillman. chairman Of the board Of
directors Of the National City Bank. re-
tired from the directorates of the Han
over National, the Citizens Central Ma
tional and the Lincoln National banks. A
little later George i. Baker. chairman ol
the First National Bank. retired from the
board OF the First National Bank OF chi
cagO.
j. T. Morgan several years ago retired
from all banking directorates except the
First National. and II is not probable that
he viii eyer resign from that board, owing
