sent the administration of the clearing

country at this time is not SO much re-
form of the currency system as modifi-
cation of the banking system. The
bankers of the United States. as a whole,
would welcome any legislation, even par

one or two of the most dangerous defects
of our banking system. The hope IS
strong that when Congress begins to con-

there may ebe at least tacit agreement
that at this session of Congress discus
sion and action be exclusively focused
upon the means by which reserves may
be made instantly available wherever
they may be needed and also by which
ample credit may be secured at times
when credit of kind supplied by banks
is vital to reasonable business interests.

by the clearing house associations of the
country it may be worth while to report
the views of some of those who directed
the clearing house association ip the panic
days of 1893 and again in the panic of
1907
The late Frederick ID. Tappen, who
practically grew up with the> New York
clearing house association and who be-
came one of the great personal bank
ing forces of the United States his ability
aud business integrity having been wide
ly recognized between 1865 and the time
of his death in 1902 was the adnlinistra-
tive officer of the New York Clearing
House association during the panic days
of 1898. He spent the forenoon hours OF
the business day in the clearing house
offices. The banks of New York sent 10
him bundles containing securities of all
kinds. He made instant appraisal of the
market value of those securities, rarely
being compelled to turn to quotations;
and then, having made sufficient allow
ance in the form of margins, he would
within few moments report that the

1t Could Easily Be Done

Whatever may be the plan adopted oy
Congress for the modification and im-
provement of our banking and currency
system it is regarded as inevitable that 1t
be based, to some extent at least, upon
the principles which have made the opera
tion of American clearing houses one of
the most important features OF modern
finance aud banking. Congress could cas-
lily in this session. it is believed here, leg
islate in such manner as to permit the
adoption of the clearing house association
plan, at least SO far as the utilization OF
bank resources and assets is concerned,
for infusing the quality of elasticity into
the currency and the utilization OF credit.
There is reason to believe that members
of Congress who do realize that 1t is al
most vital that there be Immediate inn
provement of the banking system have
been informed informally by American
bankers that it will be sufficient for pres
ent emergency, possible or actual, If our
banking laws be so amended as to make
tossible an adoption of the clearing house

tricts of the country in which clearing

bank could obtain clearing house cersi-
iicates whose security was these mar
gihed stocks and bonds and with these
certificates could pay its balances al
the clearing house.
After it was all over, in the early mart
of October, 1898. Mr.. Tappen said that
Congress could learn most valuable les
son from the experience of the New York
clearing house and from other clearing
house associations in those panic days
For so far as 1t was within its legal
power to do it the clearing house associa-
ton had enabled the banks to mobilize
their resources and assets in such manner
as to secure what within the clearing
house was equivalent to tax-namely, GER
tifcates based upon thees resources This
was something which the national bank
ing law did not make possible.
That Might Be Done
Mr.. Tappen at that time said to the
pr esent writer that the clearing house as
sociations of the United States had beer
teaching most important lesson to the
people and to Congress. They had beer
able to show that the real wealth of the
country was not paper money, not ever
silver or gold, but instead was commodi-
ties, manufacturing establishments, rail.
road plants and crops. The banks of the
country, through their utilization of credit
are able easily to effect exchanges be-
tween those who produce crops or com
nlCdities. In doing this the banks, at Least
those of New York, perfect about 80 pei
cent of the entire barter by means of the
very simple machinery Of the clearine g
house. Checks are exchanged and the
trifling balances are paid in cash.
In ordinary times the machinery of the
clearing house associations of the United
States is employed almost exclusively In
the swapping of checks and the payment
of balances in cash. But in extraordinary
times The clearing house associations have
the power and have usually used it to
concentrate bank assets, resources and to
furnish for them what within the clearing
house is equivalent to cash.
Mr.. Tappen was certain that the time
would come when the clearing house asso.
Citations of the United States would, by
reason of panic, find 1t worth while tc
Utilize high grade commercial paper as
one of the assets upon which banks couo
pay clearing house certificates. he die
not live long enough to see his prediction
justified, 1t was justified in 1907, and the
commercial paper held by banks of the
United States was through its mobilization
by clearing house associations largely in
strumental in ending the panic. Not one
dollar was lost upon this Hypothetical
commercial paper.

VISITORS LOSE HEART
DURING LAST PERIOD
Arcade Players Prove More Clever
Than Men Pitted Against
Them Last Night.

Baltimore roller polo players and fol-

resenting the WaIbrook. A. c., are
maintaing today that had Referee
Hough given any other decision than
that which they say took goal away
from them last night at the Arcade, the
result would have been in their favor.
The score was to in favor of the
Washington contingent when the game
was called. a rally by the whitinGs
turning the tide in their favor in the
last minute of play.
The game was one OF the fastest
played on the Arcade floor this season
and was closely contested despite the
fact that the Washington players had

Of the time.
Wslbrook's two goals were made more
by luck than good management as their
passing was not OF the best nor was
their ability to -outspeed the Washing
ton boys marked to any degree. Time
and again the Washington forwards
made things hot for Crowder, the Bal
timore goal tender, whose work was
OF the best
The first part Of the contest was pro-
ductive of clever work by both teams.
After seven minutes of playing in the
first period Pop Whiting managed to
cage the ball. Just before the close OF
the period an individual rush by Kirwan
netted the ball for Walbrook.
The visitors took the Lad IN the sec
ond period. scoring little after a min
ute of play. Washington came back
and tied up the score which stood until
near the close Of the third period when
Whiting. jr.. got the ball by Kirwin for
goal
The Walbrook team. aided by some
clever passing. rushed the ball up, and
after shot at the cage claimed a goal
The ball. however, failed to stay III
the net, and Referee Hough maintained
that no goal had been made.
The visitors stoutly insisted that the
point made should count, but Referee
Hough stood by his guns. The decision
appeared to take the heart out of the
visitors. for their play became listless.
