Action on the market for Commercial
National Bank yesterday was decidedly
interesting. Feeling out the market de-
veloped the fact that there were numer-
GUS selling orders with a 500 a share
limit. The first few sales were at 200,
six shares at l99. and then slowly, ginger
IL the bid was advanced TO 1891, with
dozen brokers anxiously waiting for the
200 bid. An order to buy or sell at
1e9zs did not bring action. and so this
official closing was established l995saa00
After the call a request for a bid on
Commercial stock yeas met with bid
of 1876. Evidently selling limits had been
loweSed. but not to the l95 point and
there were no actual better bids.
Washington Gas stock was sold rather
freely at SisasiSs and the close was sia
S4ss. At Si11 ex-dividend the stock is
practically on a basis of $50, so that
there has been little change. The Won

HOUSE.

: Debate on the army appropriation bill
was begun by the House. The fortifica-
tons appropriation bill, carrying S.21s.-
go, was also reported by the Appropria-
tons Committee. The House approved a
section in the army bill, doubling the pay
of army officers detailed to aviation duty,
but rejected an amendment to increase
the pay of enlisted men assigned to the
same duty and TO increase the allowances
given to army aviators who are killed in
the line OF duty.
Representative Helm OF Kentucky. who
has frequently criticised the army, de-
livered a speech declaring that 1t is

MORE BANK ELECTIONS
by 1. 4. FLEMING.

Bankers connected with local savings
institutions have agreed to act in unity
and protest vigorously, should any at
tempt be made to attach any riders"
to the proposed hill for the Incorporation
of savings banks in the District under
the District code, by which their right
t. do a commercial business might be
abridged.
The savings banks to-day are working
under State charters. The proposed new
law would require all new banks, except
national banks or trust companies, to
have a capital Of at least 100000 and
to carry reserves of Is per cent. Under
the law to-day they are not required
TO keep reserve of any stated sum or
percentage.
The matter of Federal incorporation I'M
der the code of the District of Column
bia- was freely discussed at the last
two meetings Of the District Bankers
Association. a bill prepared, Incorporate
ing the provisions as enumerated above
and an effort was made to secure the
Endorsement of the association and
recommendation that the enactment of
the measure be put through at this ses-
sion of Congress.
Action was postponed from the De-
Cember meeting of the Bankers Associa-
ton to the meeting early in February. 1t
was reported on tine street yesterday that
an effort might be made to have a spe-
cial meeting called, and the action taken
at once SO that the bill may be enacted
at this session.
Heads of the savings banks Of the city
have very generally acQuiesced with pro-
visions of the measure, and are perfectly
willing that II should be adopted and
enacted. in its present form. They are
fearful that there may he some amend
ments'' to the measure that will restrict
their privileges and limit their activities.
They desire TO continue doing COM
mercial business as they have been since
their organization, and not to be re-
stricted under the idea that a savings
hank should stick TO a savings-bank
business. a trust company TO trust-com-
panv business. and a national bank to
the business of a national bank.
The savings-bank interests are very
much in earnest in the matter, and will,
il necessary, put up a strong fight
1t Is even threatened that any effort
10 coerce would be Immediately met by
the formation of a national bank, into
which 100000 deposits would go at
once. and we will stop depositing our
funds with other institutions"

Silence Peeve Wife
Mrs. {. L. Morris, Asking Divorce,
Says Husband Was laxative
Only When Drunk.

Fifty cents a week and silence when
he was sober was all Mrs. Ella Lee
Morris received from her husband
during their married life Of two years.
according to a petition for divorce
against Joseph Morris filed to-day in
Superior Court by John Y. Smith,
her attorney.
Drunkenness and cruelty are two
other charges set forth in the bill.
Mrs. Morris asserted that from two
to four times a month her husband
would get on a spree and get very
laxative. When he was sober, she
said, he had little to say to her.
His actions, she alleges, were such
as to have their landlady at l09
Washington street threaten to make
them give up their rooms if her hus-
band did not behave.
Mrs. Morris asks a total divorce,
permanent and temporary alimony.

0fficeseeker's Wife;

Husband Appeals to Federal District
Attorney at Washington to
Investigate Case.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--The pub
LEGATION by a New York newspaper
to-day of a report that Western
Senator had offered an indignity to
the wife of an officeseeker made It
almost certain that an investigation
with a resultant expose of the scan
Gal will be made. According to the
report, the womans husband appealed
to the Federal District Attorney here
to investigate the case.
The story has been gossiped about
the Capitol for more than a week
The fact that a Western Senator
is the person named has created a
hubbub. 1t can be stated that the ae-
cused Senator is from a State ap-
proximatelv 900 miles southwest Of
Chicago. A number of Western Sen
ators are chatting under the fear to-
day that the anonymous story VIII

GhOulS Desecrate
Graves of Children
0isinter and Crush Collins Placed
in Griffin, Ga, Tomb
in 1855.

GRIFFIN, GA, April 4.-Diseovery
was made to-day that vandals last
night had broken open the graves of
two children in Wildwood Cemetery.
The caskets were crushed with so
pound rock and the bodies left ex-
posed. The police are searching ev-
cry corner of the city for clews.
The graves opened were those of
Edwin Everette Anderson and his sis
ter, Sara Ann Minerva, both Of whom
died of a contagious disease within
day Of each other and were buried
at the same time, in November, 1855.
The father of the children was at
that time Baptist minister here. A
heavy marble slab covered the graves.
1t was cemented down and fastened
with copper bolts. This heavy slab
was removed by the vandals and the
caskets taken from the graves.
The motive for the deed is not evil
dent, as the family was not oonssas
cred wealthy, and no valuables were
buried, so far as known
The bodies were in a good state of
preservation and the colors of the
clothing easily discernible. Nothing
was taken from the caskets. Deep
mystery surrounds the entire incl
dent.

Income Tax Bill Is
Ready for Congress
Graduated Scale, With $4,000 Mini
mum, Among Details Agreed Upon
by Ways and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, April "details of
the income tax bill TO be reported by
the Ways and Means Committee have
been worked out by Representative Huh.
of Tennessee. and practically agreed
upon by the members of the commit
tee 1t is believed the bill will be ac-
cepted by both the House and Senate
substantially as It is reported
The bill will levy an income tax on a
graduated scale, beginning with incomes
of $4,000 as a minimum and increasing
until 100000 is reached. The minimum
tax will be ] per cent on incomes from
$4,000 to $4,000; per cent on in
comes of from $4,000 to 0.OeO; per
cent on incomes OF from 500, 900 to $780,
O00 and 4 per cent on incomes of more
than s10O,O00
1t is estimated roughly thar the tax
will yield about 500, 900, 900 a year. and
make up in good part for any deficiency
in the tariff tax.
On this basis each member OF con-
gress will pay on his salary alone an in
come tax Of S35 a year, and The Presi-
dent would pay s1.41O annually on his
salary OF $4,000 year.

Currency Bill Will
Not Guarantee Bank
Deposits, Owen Says
Both This and Branch Banking in
Other Countries Must Wait Until
After General Reform.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator
Owen. chairman of the Senate COM
mittee that will frame the currency
bill, said there would be no provision
considered looking TO the guarantee
of bank deposits. Mr.. owen also said
currency reform would not be bur-
dened with any proposition to author
lie branch banking in foreign coun-
tries.
Both these questions can easily be
considered as Independent PROPOSE
tions whenever Congress cares to take
them up," asserted Mr.. owen. Guar
antee Of bank deposits would be used
by opponents OF currency reform to
befog the main question and prevent
legislation Of any sort.
81 am inclined to favor this guar
antee but 1 do not believe it wise to
engraft it on the general currency
measure.
1T is vastly more important for us
to first reform our own currency sys-
TEN for the benefit of the people of
our own country. After that has been
done we can devote needed attention
to the subject of American banking
facilities abroad. 1t is contended by
many that something of this kind
must be provided if we are to extend
American commerce, particularly
among the republics OF South Amer
lea, where the banking is done almost
entirely through foreign houses
The proper reform of the currency
OF this country is a gigantic problem
and can not be approached with great
haste Still, believe we shall be able
to make considerable Roadway this
session"

to 40 Per Cent Plan of
House Committee.

seamless ana fashioned cotton hose
are receiving attention from the tariff
makers.
1t has been presented to the ways
and means committee that the makers
of hose do not need the protection Of
n 20 per cent rate. They have practi-
cally decided therefore that a rate of
40 per cent would afford all the pro-
lection needed and at the same time
give some advantage to wearers.
