LITTLE HOPE FOR
ELDER BEN E. RICH
Condition of President of Eastern
States Mission Causes Friends
Great Alarm.
Special to The Tribune.

special to The Tribune
NEW YORK, Aug. 8O.-Ben e. Rich,
president Of the eastern states mission
of the Mormon church, is suffering
much pain and at times is unconscious.
Mrs. Ada Stark of Salt Lake, who re-
ceived The Tribune representative to-.
night, said that Mr.. Rich hoped to 20
west in day or two, but her tone be-.
tckened fear that it would never be.
President Rich, on account Of his
sickness, has been relieved of his duties
here, pending the appointment OF his
succession. Apostle George Albert Smith
of Salt Lake has assumed control Of
the mission. Mr.. Rich IS condition is
too critical for him to care FOR the
mission 8 affairs and the Salt Lake
apostle will direct affairs until the
church authorities select permanent
successor to Mr.. Rich.

KNOX COMMENTS ON
MEETING Of BANKERS
President of National Bank of
Republic Returns From
Conference.
RECOMMEND CHANGES
Delegates Suggest Revision of
Currency Bill Pending Be-
/ fore National Congress.

Frank Knox president OF the Nationa
Bank OF the Republic and also president
OF the State Bankers association. re-
turned to the city yesterday from Chi
caso. where he was n delegate to q con-
ference of bankers which was held re-
Gently for a discussion OF the currency
bill now pending In the congress of the
United States
The conference was called by A. B.
Hepburn of the Chase National bank of
New York City and also chairman OF the
currency committee OF the American
Bankers association.
Mr.. Knox said upon his return that in
many respects the Chicago conference
was the most important gathering of
bankers in the history of the country
There were more than $50 In attendance
and the delegates comprised presidents OF
clearing house associations and presi-
cents Of bankers associations.
Discusses Measure.
Discussing the great gathering and the
matters considered. Mr.. Knox said:
AS is we'll known, the meeting was
called to consider, or rather, to make
suggestions pertinent to the currency
measure that Is now pending In con-
gress. This bill means a totally new
plan and a change in the entire finan-
cfal system OF the country. The dele
gates formulated a set Of resolutions
recommending number Of modifica-
tons in the present bill. believing II
the measure should be modified as
recommended that the bill would
then provide for a broader basis upon
which the banking and currency sys-
TENS OF the country could rest
The resolutions also recommended
a government bank or the order Of a
central reserve bank or II this could
not be done, instead OF twelve of
these banks, as now proposed, IL was
thought better 10 reduce the number
TO five. We also recommended a re-
duction OF the capital stock to be
contributed by the national banks
TO 10 per cent instead OF 20 per cent
Ihis would amount to sos, ,000 900,
al! or which would have to be con-
Uibuted from the capital stock OF the
national banks. as state banks do not
nave to be stockholders In the CEN
tral bank unless they desire to be-
The present bill provides that a
large part Of the reserve OF national
banks be placed In the central bank
and this would amount, as now esti-
mated 70 $500, 0OO 600. In addition TO
the sos. 100000 which would come
out OF the capital stock Of the ma
tional banks. AS we viewed the mat
Ter, the removal Of this Immense sum
from the national banks could not
put tend TO great contra ction and
interfere seriously with the comnercs
ana trade OF this wonderful and
rapidly growing country, which, AZ
this time. needs more money with
which q On on h,,cIpneo

REAL. ESTATE LEADER
PRAISES SALT LAKE
President c. L. Simpson of
National Association of
Exchanges Here.
PREDICTS GREAT CITY
Says There Is Everything
Here; Sees Unusual Pros
perity at Present.

G. l.. Simpson of Kansas City, recent
ly elected president of the National
Association of Real Estate Exchanges
at the Winnipeg convention, was the
guest of prominent members OF the To-
cal association yesterday Charles Tying,
c. Clarence Neslen and E. G. Ashton
were among those who took Mr. Simp.
son about the city and showed him its
wonderful growth.
Mr.. Simpson is a leader among real
estate men and is keen observer His
business makes him a student of cities
and city problems. This and tho fact
that he made his first visit to Salt
Lake yesterday, make his impressions
especially interesting and valuable. In
talking to Tribune reporter last night
after the electrical parade, which he
praised enthusiastically, Mr.. Simpson
said!
You have a wonderful city. With
the marvelously rich territory that
surrounds it, l cannot see how it
can help but become n big city I
am also impressed with the sub
etantial growth 1t is making, There
is nothing Of the "boom" in it
that has proved bad to SO many
other cities.
Building Is Noted.
AS 1 passed through your resi-
dence district noted that many
new homes were being built That,
to me, is an excellent sign Of the
eity,s prosperity. Your hotels, too,
| believe are an indication of the
pomrnaroia1 which bo oify
is coming to be.
Perhaps the thing that has I'M
pressed me moro than anything
else Is the fraternal spirit between
the Mormons and the non-Mormons
Like other outsiders, I have heard
stories that would lead me to be-
Heve that these two factions were
warning bitterly here. I was de-
Lighted to find that no such condi-
tio1s exists, that all are pulling to-
gether for q greater Salt Lake
Salt Lake Is well advertised
throughout the country. Everyone
that comes here has good things to
say about II. It's unusually attrae-
tive location Is a great asset that
Is frequently mentioned. With the
mountains 30 close and the lake to
the west, the city has situation
that cannot be surpassed.
To Encourage Soundness.
Ono Of the objects Of the asso-
ciation which T represent is to help
the west build mp. In the past there
have been many "wildcat'' opera
ttons among unreliable schemers.
The middle class Of people, who can
least afford to lose what they have,
have been the victims, and 1t has
hurt the legitimate projects in your
territory. Our idea Is to drive the
falsir out Of business, We propose
to place the standing Of the real
estate man on plane similar to
that Of the banker. When we ao-
complish this, the public will have
the confidence that will work out
the development Of the oountrys
worthy projects.
In the past have made winter
sojourns IN California, but I have
always gone there by the southern
route. I didn't know what a won
derful city had missed. You may
be sure that nv future excursions
to the west Will include Salt Lake
City.
