ENORMOUS PROFITS
Of ONE BIG BANK
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NEW

22G PER CENT SINCE INCORPOR-

MONEY TRUST COMMITTEE WILL
BRING CONTEMPT PROCEED
INGS AGAINST BANKER FOR RE
FUSING TO GIVE EVIDENCE.
(BU Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 9.-The enormous
profits made by the first national bank
of New York were recOunted today by
of directors of the bank testifying before
George f. Banker chairman of the board
the committee investigating the money
trust.
Since its organization in 1863 with a
capital Of $500,000 the bank has made
profits Of eighty million dollars Since
1908 the bank has paid dividends of 22G
per cent or over, twice its present capi-
talization of ten million dollars.
In 1901 special dividentd of nine
million, five hundred thousand dollars
idend Of ten million dollars was declared
to provide capital for securities com
pany to take over business which the
bank could not do under the law"
Both in addition to its regular yearly
dividends
Since 1873 when Banker became prcsi-
dent it has pad dividends Of 1850 per
cent on its original capital.
Banker opposed the suggestion that
national banks be compelled to make
public their assets so that depOSitorS and
stockholders may know the nature of the
securities held by banks.
He did not believe there is any i'm
propriety in one man holding director
ship in potentially competitive banks, or
other corporations. He said it was an
advantage.
He did not approve of the voting trust
form of control of corporations, but he
did not disapprOve of it if the stOckhOl-
ders desired it,
At first Banker refused to give the list
of his holdings in the great banks Of New
York, Sa:ihg the committee has no more
concern " til that than with my tailor

These plans were checked. at least

the negotiations were considered at an
