A remarkable increase of interest in or

BY HOLLAND

New York, December 23.-(Special)
Whether or not the managers of the
Corn Exchange bank intended to intimate
in recent communication that the insti-
tuition is not likely to share in the privi-
1eges established by the new national
banking and currency law, almost every
one who has read the statement believes
that the institution will not participate in
the new national banking system. The
Corn Exchange bank is the largest state
chartered institution in New York state,
and the impression is that it Is the largest
TO be found anywhere in the United
States-that is, any operating under state
banking charters. There are a few trust
institutions also operating under state
charters which carry a much larger de-
pos4 line than does the Corn Exchange

EDUCATORS MEET
At STATE CAPITAL
Practically Every Phase of
School Work Being
Discussed

Montgomery, December 29.-(special)
In the neighborhood of so High school
principals met In conference here yester-
day for the purpose Of discussing numer-
Gus questions In connection with their
work. The conference was called by Su-
perintendent of Education William f.
Feagin. who presided over the meeting,
and Will continue two days
In addition to the various principals of
county high schools who are here for the
conference there are present also the two
state high school inspectors Prof. J. S.
Thomas of the university and Prof. j. B.
Hobby of the Alabama Polytechnic in
stitute, and other well known educators.
Practically every phase of school work
is being discussed at the conference. The
various topics include course of study,
industrial phases of the courses. labora-
tory facilities, libraries, employment of
teachers. general school problems, agri-
culture and other subjects.
The first subject taken UP today was
the course of study, The present course
was discussed, and the question was also
considered as to the ACCESSIBILITY of d.
viding the courses into four or five
classes.
There was an unanimity of opinion as
tc the Importance of closer co-opera-
ton between the county high school and
the rural schools. 1t seemed to be gem
orally agreed that much good could be
accomplished by a closer relationship be-
tween these two institutions.
The members of the conference followed
no set programme at todays meeting. The
various educators entered INTO the dis
cussion of school problems with a fine
spirit of enthusiasm, and Superintendent
Feagin was much pleased with the re-
suit of the days work.

Madison Grand Jury's

Impeachment proceedings against Pro-

clerk of the supreme court tomorrow.
The custer proceedings against the Mad

quest of the grand jury of that county.

The grand jury's recommendations
were made several months ago, but pro-

cision by the supreme court as to the
legality of its report.
The question before the court was
whether or not the grand jury was legal
inasmuch as five of the original jurymen
had been dismissed and five others had
been substituted in their places. The
court held that the jury was legal, thus
making it incumbent upon the attorney
general to bring custer proceedings

The Moral Effect

The wonder here is whether the moral
effect of this announcements may not be
of considerable influence in affecting the
Judgment of state institutions when the
question arises: Shall we or shall we not
become such part of the national bank
ing system as the new lew permits? Oc-
casionally curiosity Is admitted respect
ing the effect Of this announcement upon
some of the national banks of New York
state when the question comes before the
directors of these banking institutions:
Shall we or shall we not align ourselves
with national banks which become a
part of the system, or shall we prepare
for the day when after surrendering our
national bank charters we shall take out
state charters?

lions which as a whole identify the 90
called money trust or money power. It's
influence in the banking life of New York
city and state has been very great and
beneficial and it is an influence which has
long continued. In a quiet way it has
steadily grown to its present position as
one of the great American banks COM
manding always the confidence of those
who do business with it and illustrating
always the soundest banking methods.
Mr.. Nash's Plan
Mr.. Nash has been a profound student
not only of the general principles of
banking of the present time and of earlier
years even far back In the past, but also
pr the relation of modern banking of the
United States to the great Industrial ana
commercial forces which, in combination,
Lave made the United States a world
power. His studies and his application
or what he has learned and of his exper-
fence with modern conditions were cont
paeted into one or two brief addresses re-
Gently in which he set forth his view OF
what a wholly satisfactory and adequate
would be. He firmly believed that an am
plification in some ways and a modifica-
ton In other directions of the general
principle which the experience of the
American clearing house associations
have clearly taught would furnish a sound
and sufficient basis for Improvement or
our national banking system. He is one
or those who have never INDUCED in
wholesale criticism of our national bank
Ing system
Congress in It's wisdom, however, has
not seen fit to accept the views expressed
by Mr.. Nash, although at the bottom of
the new national banking system will be
found some of the principles upon which
clearing house Investigations are now
conducted. Whether in Mr. Nashs view
the new measure will prove satisfactory,
or whether there may Turk dangers in it
which will not be fully disclosed until
actual test has been made. or whatever
be the reason, the Corn National bank,
1t is believed here will not have any
share as a state institution in the new
national banking system. 1t will stand
alone excepting that 1t is prepared to
give such facilities as other state banks
may need in case these institutions de-
cline to have any share in the new ma
tlonal banking system. This promise is
made without any apparent attempt at
advertisement, but vita the sole purpose
of informing other state banks in New
York that they need have no anxiety
about their own situation since the Corn
Exchange bank stands ready to give these
banks exactly such assistance as they
presumably might obtain If they entered
the national banking system without in
CURING upon these banks the obligations
they must adopt If they enter the ma
tional system.

Slow Action

So far can be learned by inquiry in
this city no immediate or sudden effect
of the change from the historic national
banking law to the new one will be OBJ
served. Adjustment will proceed slowly and
cautiously. Managers of some national
banks who are in doubt whether or not
to yield their national charters and reor-
ganize as state institutions will not in any
event decide the question until after there
has been good test of the new law.
In this city there is not the slightest
apprehension of financial or money panic
What Frank A. Vanderip is reported to
have said in Chicago-that money panic
similar to that of 1897 10 unthinkable-is
exactly the thought of all the leading
bankers OF New York. They know that
ii there came sudden and great emer-
gency the treasury department at WASH
ington could supply as much as $500, CO.,
600 of currency under the Aldrich- Vree-
land act, which is to be continued for
at least a year. There may be depres-
sion, sluggishness of the kind which
oharacterizes the stock exchange, but so
far as banking forecasts can be made a
panic is, as Mr.. Vanderlip SAYS, unthink-
able. Nor is it thought likely that any
thing like a busienss panic will take
place even though recession continues and
sluggishness for months characterizes our
business life. The next four or five
months will be transition period. The
new national banking law illustrates the
peaceful and modern revoluton-uslng
that word In its best sense-which all
thinkers and careful observers declare
to be in progress in the United States, and
which represents the REIMBURSEMENT of all
things social, intellectual, financial, COM
mercal and Industrial to modern condi-
tions, which are chiefly due tc the era
of electricity and the employment of
labor saving machinery which is auto
matte and seems almost to those who
watch its operations to think

The Question Of Successor for the
New Commissioner Of Labor Being
Considered.

Des Moines, Jan. 25.-(Special.)-
Memt ers Of the executive committee
of the state federation Of labor held an
informal meeting here this week and
among other things considered who
might be secured to take the place of
A. L. Urick as president Of the state
federation of labor. 1t is expected he
will reign before the next meeting OF
the federation, which will be soon after
he takes ofice-as state commissioner
of labor. His predecessor as head of
the state federation of labor, Mr.. Hol-
der, was an assistant state labor com.
missioner the two years that He was
president of the federation, and it
would not be impossible for the fed
Grafton to invite him to return to Iowa
and again pilot the affairs Of the work
ingmen Of the state. Members of the

to find as careful and conservative q
man as Urick for head of the federar

SUPREME COURT
TO FIX JUDGMENT

Des Moines, Jan. 25.-(SpeciaL)--
Is Judgment for $4,000 for the estate
Of man 26 years old earning $1,000 a
year excessive when he is killed by a
street car company?
That is the question put up to the
supreme court in an interesting argyll
ment by c. N. Jepson and J. w. Hal
lam of Sioux City this week. One
Carter the foreman of switching
crew was killed in collision with a
street car and on the first trial there
was an 81 900 verdict and on the Sec
ond it was raised to $4,000. Principal
question at issue was whether this
was excessive.
The attorneys for the estate cited
that in the Locke case in the Iowa
court a verdict of $1,000 for death of
conductor earning 5000 year was
not regarded as excessive. In another
case o~e who was earning 1874 year
was killed and the estate got $4,000. In
tate got $4,000.
The lawyers objected strongly to the
custom of the courts in reducing the
amount of jury verdicts. IF it is 60
Ing to be the purpose Of this court,
they declared, ITO fix the amount Of
the verdicts, and not leave the same
to a fair and impartial jury, we might
just as we'll have the jury find the
facts and the courts assess the dam
ages upon those facts and dispense
with our jury insofar as the matter Of
the assessment OF damages is con-
carnad."
