LATEST MOVE IN
BANK CONTROVERSY
Birmingham Banks With.
draw Checks They Had
Given To Express Co.

MONTGOMERY, September 24-tSpecia1)
First victory in the controversy between
the banks of Montgomery and Birming-
nam, relative to the right Of the local in
stitutions to charge exchange on foreign
drafts and checks. presented by Birrning-
ham banks, has been won by banks of this
city Today the banks of Birmingham
withdrew the checks which they had
turned over to the Southern Express
company for collection and presented the
entire number to ]. L. Hail. president of
the Alabama Bank and Trust company.
who was asked to remit At the hour of
closing this afternoon the checks ana
drafts had not been cleared.
Bank officials of Montgomery claim
that the action of the Birmingham banks
is victory for the local institutions.
Several weeks ago the Montgomery
clearing house passed resolutions to the
effect that they would in the future
charge exchange on foreign collections at
the rate of u Of l per cent and * of l
per cent. According to their ruling,
checks bearing two Endorsements would
be charged u of l per cent for collection
and foreign checks bearing one indorse-
ment would be charged at the rate of u
of per cent.
Adherance to this rule brought on the
controversy between the banks of the two
cities. The checks which the Birmingham
institutions sent last week to Montgom-
cry for collection by the Southern Ex-
press company would not have been col
lected, 1t is understood within 10 days or
two weeks, the Local institutions having
resolved to delay as long as possible be-
fore making payment to the Express
company.
1t is expected that the controversy will
soon end between the two cities. Banks
of Montgomery believe they should charge
exchange on all foreign collections, and
officials declare they will carry out the
rules of the clearing house associa ton.
Mr.. Hall of the Alabama Bank and Trust
company, to whom the checks have been
presented for remittance, will probably
make clearance by tomorrow, though it
is understood that exchange will be
charged.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
A Word to the Wise
To the Editor of The ge-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
Are men being nodded into higher
form of thought and nobler action than
In former days? Judging from the
manner in which some of our public
men are treating each other l would
answer no. Is not the public becom-
ing tired of political wrangles, disputes
and strifes which are really nothing
more nor less than a state of war, and
in waging it they have come to be-
lieve that all strategies are fair? Can't
and won't the people correct this mis-
taken idea by electing men to positions
of honor and trust Who froWn upon
such methods?
Let those who are asking favors from
their fellow citizens cultivate a nicer
sense of propriety and stop gong over
the country saying ugly things OF each
other. Is 1T not much better TO let the
people judge of your fitness and worthi-
ness for the places that you are want
ing than to quarrel with each other
for them? 1t must be very great
pleasure to a public man while he is
making the race for office and after
he retires to private life to receive from
his countrymen the verdict that he did
we'll. More comforting still that he
came out with unstained hands, all ac-
knowledging his efficiency and purity.
and with grateful recognition of his
services. j. LAWLER DARBY.

Local Exclamation

In explanation of the differences be-
tween Birmingham and Montgomery
banks, w. c. Sterrett, president of the
local clearing house association, said
yesterday:
"The only matter of difference between
the Birmingham and Montgomery banks
is that they have heretofore charged us
ST. 25 per thousand for remitting balances.
while our charge for like service has
not exceeded that rate.
''rhe Montgomery banks have now en-
tered into an agreement which will re-
suit in our paying them $3.50 per thousand
on large majority of the business sent
them and while we, of course could
apply the same rate on their Birming-
ham checks, it would prove quite ex-
pensive, owing to the fact that our Mont
gomery business is so largely in excess
of the amount which they have ON Bir-
mingham.
.'It was. therefore, necessary for us
to resort to other methods for collecting
our Montgomery checks, which would
never have been done but for the un-
reasonable and excessive rate of exchange
which they have applied against U.S.
"The majority of small country banks
only charge us 81 per thousand for like
service and there is no disposition on our
part to evade a reasonable rate of ex-
change"

sequent inability of the government 10
borrow money This attitude was plain
ly indicated to General Huerta, who was
brought to realize its consistency and
finally sanctioned the proposed nomina-
tions and. gave assurances of his support
of the ticket He said that he would
not be the candidate of any other party
or faction.
The efforts of the Catholic party, it
is said. have been directed at the Sc
lection of men who would be acceptab BILE
to the United States The choice fell
upon Senor Gamboa, for the reason that
he has not been prominently identified
with any political party while it is be-
lieved that he will have the confidence
of liberals as well as Catholics and upon
General Rascon, who is regarded as 8
desirable running mate for similar resl-
sons.
Not Politician
He has always been an army man and
has mixed little in politics. He was a
friend of Porfirio Diaz and was Madero'.s
choice for war minister in De La Barra S
cabinet. Since then he has received
proof of confidence up to the present
administration.
The nominations are of unusual inn
portance because the Catholic party Is
the only real political party having a Far
reaching organization Its ramifications
extend practically to every village and
hamlet in the republic
Senior Gamboa, in accepting the cam
didacy, pointed to his record al a dip
lonat and the absence of affiliations
with any party. He expressed the hope
thai in event of his election Mexicans
who are now pacific would remain so
and those in arms would lay them
down.
He rendered his resignation as minister
Of foreign affairs tonight, but up to a
late hour General Huerta had not ac-
cepted 1t. Senior Gamboa said he would
not be surprised If General Huerta should
prefer to continue him in his present
post until after the elections, there be-
ing nothing in the laws, he said to pre-
vent such a course.
Meantime General Felix Diaz has beer
recalled by Senor Gamhoa to return t.
Mexico CIV. The military mission OF
General Diaz in France is ended.

SMUGGLING CHINESE.
IS ON THE INCREASE
Immigration Officials VIII
RedoubIe Vigilance Along
Southern Borders

Washington. September 24-An in
crease in the smuggling of Chinese into
the United States. alarming in its proper
tions, has induced the immigration au-
thorities to redouble their viliglanee. par
tieularly along the southern and western
borders of the country. Commissioner
general of Immigration Caminett has
directed inspectors of his bureau to take
special precautions to prevent Chinese
from entering the country Illegally. Early
next week Richard II. Taylor, immigra-
ton inspector at large. will begin trip
along the southern border of the coun-
try. to see that the order is rigidly COM
piled with. Later he will extend his trip
to points on the Pacific coast.
Scores of Chinese recently have been
apprehended in the United States, who
gained entrance across the Mexican bor-
der. Many of them passed through this
country to Mexico in bond. ostensibly
to become laborers on Mexican planta-
tions. Some of them were arrested on
the American side of the border within
10 days of their arrival in Mexico. All
of them are being deported to China

When they We're not convinced, they have
acquiesced or pointed out, in way that
could not be used against their conutry,
their views As a rule. in the diplomatic
differences growing out of the land legis-
lation in California between this country
and Japan, and the differences existing
between our government and the Huerta
administration in Mexico. the press has
voiced and sustained the policies that the
executive DEPARTMENT of til government
has adopted.
The older nations of the world have
learned during their centuries of ex-
perience the vital necessity of havin 9
their foreign policies supported by O
united public and press. What we In
America yield as a patriotic duty they
in the old world countries expect not
only through patriotism but as a mat
ter of hounden obligation from the in
dividual to the state.
An Example From Europe
"Those two great nations. England
and France, We're for centuries at war
until they regarded each other as tra-
dtional enemies. But they day came
not long ago when the wise councils
Of British King and French Presi-
dent evolved that notable compact
known as the entente cordiale.' Not d
journal in London. Paris. or in any cor.
ner of either country withheld its sup
port and practice for that International
policy by which two great nations. his
toric enemies. became friends.
Ordinarily the extremes by which.
old world nations demand united sup
port in international policies are con-
trary to our IDEAS and institutions. All
we can hope to achieve is the Tree and
Independent action of each Individual
editor, based on patriotic impulses, his
love of country. the quickening of ali
ennobling sentiments, until the ethical
principle is firmly established IN Amer
ican Journalism that the voice of the
nations head. once expressed on for
eign question. Is TIL. voice of the united
country.
There is a sensitiveness between
nations. Supposed Sights are often
more potent in provoking than wrongs
or injustice. If the American press
publishes what unjustly inflames to
American mind against another nation,
is 1t not to be expected that a sensa-
tional press of the country will copy
such infammatory utterances and re-
ply in kind? Such publications may be
like applying a burning match to q
mass of combustibles. II the confiagra-
