MILWAUKEE men INTERESTED
Judge John 9. Karel, Former Demo
cratic Candidate for Governor, said
to be the Leader in the New Bank
ing Company.

The movement for the opening of a
new bank in Kenosha is to take on
definite form on Thursday when a meet
ing will be held at the parlors Of the
New Park Hotel at which plans for the
opening Of new financial institution
will be taken up and discussed. AS yet
the men who are promoting the bank
have not given their names to the pub

John G. Karel Of the county court in
Milwaukee and democratic candidate
for governor two years ago has been
active in lining up the men who are
supposed to be interested in the forma-
ton of the new banking concern. 1t
is said that Judge Karel has associated
with him some Of the best known men
the financial world of Milwaukee, a
number Of whom are connected with
banks in that city. Solicitors repre-
senting the promoters have been at
work in Kenosha for several days and
an invitation has been extended to a
number of the men of the city to be
present at the meeting for the discus
sion of the plans.
1t is known that a number of local
men of means have consented to take
part in the organization of the bank.
Agents Of the promoters have been
looking over sites for the institution
and it is said that there is a possibility
that the new bank will have one of the
rooms in the Y M. G. A. building. The
work of remodeling this building is now
under way and it is said that the rooms
will be ready for occupancy in about
three months.
It is admitted that the work that is
being done in promoting the bank is
of preliminary nature ard that the
| Milwaukee men who have taken an in
terest in these plans will not come to
Kenosha unless the movement meets
with some support from the people of
Kenosha.
In the past few years there have
been many movements leading to the
formation of another banking institu-
! ton in Kenosha but with changes in the
Merchants and Savings bank and the
extension of the list of stockholders in
the First National bank many of the
men who had shown an interest in the
| proposed new bank became interested
in those institutions. 1T is said that
the Milwaukee men are men of mature
experience in the banking business and
that they are convinced that there is
an opening here for third banE.
Some definite statement of the plans
of the promoters of the new bank will
probably be given out after the meeting
of Thursday evening. The result of
this meeting will be watched with in
terest by the people Of the city.

PLAN NEW BANKING LAWS
Advocates Urge Need of Meet
ing the Currency System.

Washington Nov. 16-With the admin
istration currency bill due to be reported
10 the Senate this week, after long delay
a plan to revise the national banking
laws to meet the new currency system
has appeared I'm legislative circles. 1t will
include important questions originally
contemplated as part Of the currency
bill, but set aside until the next session
of Congress. when a general revision Of
banking laws has been promised by the
administration.
With this proposed revision Congress
will take up the farreaching question OF
rural credits. the problem of providing
cheaper money for the farmer who mort
cages his land at high rates Of interest
to secure ready funds. The Rural Credits
Commission, after an exhaustive investi
cation OF the subject, including an exam
ination OF farm loan systems abroad, is
at work on a report to Congress which
will recommend some sort of law on the
subject The commission expects to re-
port early In the next session.
The many recommendations of the
money trust investigating committee of
the House, which went into the question
of the concentration of money and
credits during the last Congress, also will
be used in the work OF revision. The
regulation of clearing house associations
and stock exchanges by federal law will
be considered.
One of the provisions which probably
will be inserted in the new law will for
bid interlockihg directorates in national
banks. An effort has been made to put
this prohibition in the pending currency
bill. but the administration has main
tanned that II should go into the new
banking law.
Advocates Of the bank law revision plan
are seeking to place their projects ahead
of the proposed antitrust legislation in
the administration programme.

FIGHT OVER WATER POWER
Conservation Congress Com
mittee Divided on Issue.
I'M Tho Tribune Bureau.1


Washington, Nov. 16.-That the Con-
servation Congress. which meets here on
Tuesday, is to be the scene of an interest
ing contest OF vital Importance TO the de-
velopment Of water power In this country
is the prediction of those in close touch
with the inner workings OF the Conserva-
ton Association.
The majority OF the committee on water
power will, IL is understood, advocate the
policy OF permitting the development OF
water power under the public utility laws
Of the several states, while the minority
will oppose all development which is not
under federal control.
The need for some development OF the
policy dealing with these natural resources
is obvious from the fact that the industry
is now at a standstill. Since the enact
ment Of federal legislation affecting water
powers, in 1906, only seven plans have
been authorized and built, and Of them
only two are Of any considerable size.
1t is maintained that investors cannot
be induced 70 furnish capital for the de-
velopment OF this character Of plants
under the permits now granted by the fed
eral government and subject TO revocation.
in accordance with the judgment OF an ad-
minstrative officer OF the government.

to-day. the Civil Service Commission will
order examinations for the positions oil
fourth class postmasters in Vermont
New Hampshire, Florida. New Mexico
Virginia and North Carolina, in accord
ance with the provisions Of the Presl-
dents order of May last. which re-
moved civil service protection from many
Of the fourth class postmasters in the
classified service.
The Postmaster General issued state
ment in connection with the announce
ment, in which ne said that he expected
to carry out the intent Of President VIII
sons order. to the end that the positions
be filled in accordance with both the spirit
and letter Of the civil service law. lie
said he would not delegate the power OF
appointment. and that in no case would
the selection be made simply upon the
recommendation of a member Of Con-
gress.
The statement reads in part:
"In his efforts to secure the most effi-
Client man for the postal service, and as
part Of the evidence upon which he
reaches his conclusion. It Is his practice
to ask the member of Congress in whose
district the vacancy exists TO advise him
relative to the character and fitness OF
the three eligibles.
in doing so, the Postmaster Generai
calls upon the member not In his ca
pacity as a member of any political party
but solely as the representative of that
community, regardless OF political affilia-
tions: and to emphasize his purpose In
this respect, the Postmaster General, In
asking the member of Congress for his
recommendation, calls special attention
to the fact that under existing executive
orders, selections must be made by the
department with sole reference to merit
and fitness, and any recommendation
made to him must be based solely upon
such considerations, and without refer
ence TO the political affiliations OF the
eligibles. And further. he has directed
that all letters recommending appoint
ments, based upon political considera-
tions, be returned to the writer's"
The Postmaster General states that he
is in earnest in his efforts to obtain the
best men, regardless of their political
opinions. and whenever he finds in any
case that he has been misled because or
recommendations made for political rea-
sons. the fourth-class postmaster, or rural
carrier so appointed, will be promptly
removed from office.
