WANT REGIONAL
BANK HANDY
Wilmington Will Aid PhiIadeI-
phia in Fight for New
Institution
ACTION TAKEN BY
SOME DIRECTORS

Philadelphia banks and bankers
have begun an active campaign for
one of the regional banks provided
under the new Owens-Glass currency
bill, which became effective at mid
night yesterday Each of the local
National and State banks. as well as
trust companies, today received let
ters from the banking institutions, Of
which they are correspondents, urg-
ing them to write Senators Henry A.
DUPONT and Willard Salisbury, re,
questiDg them to urge the selection
Of Philadelphia as one of the bank
ing centres.
Among the first institutions to con-
slider the request was the Central Ma
tional Bank and at directors meet
ing this morning It was decided to
urge Philadelphia as a site for one or
the eight regional banks. other bank
ers in this city when interviewed by
an EVENIN JOURNAL reporter ex-
pressed themselves as favoring a
bank for Philadelphia, and it is
thought that other local banks will
take some actciOn in the way Of
adopting resolutions furthering this
plan
Il is not thought that the Clearing
House Association will take any ac-
tion but as all the members are bank
ers associated with Institutions, such
action can be taken by them.
Several bankers when spoken to
this morning said that while Philadel-
phia was but ninety miles distance
from New York they favored Phila-
delphia as q location for one of the
banks, and that If any opposition
arose TO the selection Of the latter
city, it would be due to geographical
conditions. As for the industrial and
business conditions, they all agreed
that Philadelphia should be selected
In the letters sent out today by
the Philadelphia banks, it was stated
among the reasons why that city
should be selected was because of its
great industrial activity, which in
cluded plants where anything from q
match TO a battleship is constructed
The letters also referred to the great

the like.
The question of endorsing the
regional bank for Philadelphia will be
placed before the directors of the
Farmers National Bank at their meet
ing tomorrow morning.
That the passage of the currency
bill marks the beginning Of e new
eta Of industrial prosperity and fnqn-
cial stability is the optimistic opinion
OF a majority of the leading 0lakers
OF this c'ty
Of men prominent in local financial
affairs who were asked what They
thought the effect ON business and iinan-

any way pessimistic. And these tw,

visions which would result in much good

general public.
The features OF the new law that ap.
peal most to local bankers. and from
which the greatest results are expected
are the sections providing for an elasti,

and that allowing national banks to loan

IN HIS OLD HOLE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Dec 26 -- In the
presence of from 400 to 500 specta-
tors the fox that Victor G. Willis has
been keeping for several days was
dropped at 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning, ON the Newark baseball club
grounds. Reynard was given about
ten minutes start and it took him but
short time to locate himself and
go in the direction of where he-Nas
holed last week, which was near ELK
ton, in Cecil county, Md, and proha-
bly, five miles from Newark Tie in
element weather, no doubt, kept
many riders away. as there were not
as large a number to start as had
been expected
Because of the large crowd OF per-
sons around the field and along
Depot road, it took the hounds some
time to get Strengthened out right on
the scent. The fox crossed Depot and
Elkton roads and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in going towards Cecil
county, but at times made long cir
cles to fool the hounds which gave
many persons who road in team along
the roads an opportunity to watch
the hunt On one occasion the
hounds got dangerously close 10
reynard but he soon goL a good lead
again and after chase of more than
an hour. covering probably 10 miles,
was holed near the place where he
eas dug out last week. Wilmer r..
Renshaw and Walter r. Powell. two
of the riders. dug reynard out and
brought him back to Newark.
There viii be another chase with
the same fox In a feN days
