Many Old Untouched Deposits.

The president of one of the big trust
companies said today that his institution
alone has hundreds of depositors who
have not drawn checks for three years,
and much longer.
We have hundreds of old white and
colored depositors.'' he said, who have
nsver drawn a check on their deposits.
One vital point of the bill is that ii does
not even recognize a deposit as con-
tinuing the life of an account. For in
stance, a man may have several thous-
ands dollars on deposit, on which he has
not checked for three years. He may
make a deposit and then take a trip
somewhere. The bank officers may
know that he is travelling. or may not
know where he has moved, but when
he comes back, if he stays away ninety
days, the District of Columbia will have
seized his money.
This may be even more embarrassing g
in the case of an owner of a safe de-
post box, in which may be stored docu-
nents of the most private character. l

arc practically never opened. They do
not contain any coupon bonds, and there

BANKERS DENOUNCE
JOHNSON'S BILL
Authorizes Seizure of Cash
Left on Deposit More Than
Three Years.

4 bill giving the District of Columbia
the right TO seize bank deposits on
which there has been no check drawn
for three years, and to break open safe
deposit vaults should the owners leave
them untouched for five years, has been
introduced by Congressman Ben John
son of Kentucky. This is declared by
local bankers to be the most drastic
measure of its kind ever introduced
anywhere, and they declare that the
enforcement of such a law would bring
cut such a storm of protest, once the
community realized its full import, that
Congress would be forced to repeal it
in short order.
The bill has three provisions for TAX
ing money or securities from the Gus
tody from District banks and trust COM
pt MES and transferring them to the
treasury of the District. The first pros
yides that twice a year the officers of
the banks and trust companies in the
District shall make report to the Com
missioners as to any credits and
balances against which the owners have
not drawn any checks or drafts in the
three years preceding the date of the
report

Bankers Are Perturbed.

Not sooner than sixty and not later
than ninety days following this, if the
money or valuables have not been
chained, they become the property, ac-
Cording to the terms of the bill, of the
District of Columbia. The bill, of
course, provides that the right of the
owner to recover his money is not
lessened or abridged by this transfer
o. the property from the bank to the
District, though it provides for no in
terest 10 he paid on any money which
may be taken over.
Local bankers are much perturbed
over the bill, pointing out that it is
most sweeping in IT'S provisions. Some
of them admit that a bill which would
substitute twenty years for three, such
as has been passed in some States,
would contain a semblance of fairness
but say that three years for deposits
and five years for safe deposit boxes,
is far too short a time

Must Advertise Intent.

The second section provides that the
officers of the banks and trust COM
panies shall also report to the Commis-
sioners whether there are any bonds,
notes. stock certificates, Jewelry, silver,
or any thing of value left with the bank
or trust company, the possession of
which has not been demanded for three
years prior TO the making of the report.
Another provision makes 1t necessary
to report thether the bank or trust
company has any safe deposit boxes
which have not been visited or opened
by the renters for FIVE years preceding
the date of the report.
To protect the owners of the money
OF valuables, either on deposit or in
the safe deposit boxes, an advertise

paths. Two suits, of course, are bet

answer. The reason is that he who goes
to the mountains does not usually spend
any more time around the hotel than he
can possibly help. He prefers to be out

ing suits it far better than garments of
luxury.
Far more important than a fashionably
cut business suit, for instance, is a
good rough-and-ready knockabout suit
for fishing. For this there should be
trousers which the owner can wear with

they get soiled or not, a coat with big
pockets and lots OF them, a soft collared
shirt and preferably hip boots. it being

If, instead of going to some ultra fash

a vacation in the real mountain country,
your wardrobe need not be nearly SO ex-

Either as player or as spectator they

sers should be accompanied by regular
tennis shoes. although the present preva-
lence of rubber-soled. entirely heelless
footgear makes them almost supeEfiuous.
If one is not tennis player. merely a
spectator, the regulation white hosiery

One great thing not to be forgotten by
the man going to fashionable country

Two other things must be looked after by
him who plans going into the country.
