said the charge was brought by Viola
Lockman. colored, whom she said had a

Your editorial calling attention to the

for delivering the Goa! at the month of

the price here was $3.50. Since then
great improvements have been made In
mining and transportation and the avail
able supply is almost unlimited. and there
is no doubt but that it could be sold at
So at a fair profit. But the trust owns
or controls substantially the whole avail

Break UP this monopoly and smaller CAPT.

BANANA OUTLOOK GOOD.
Local Dealers Meet Jamaican Steam
er at Baltimore for Supply.

Laden with l1.OOO punches Of fine
bananas from the plantations on the
Island of Jamaica, the Norwegian steam
ship Katie arrived at Baltimore Monday
from Port Maria, Jamaiaa. and il is stat
ed that a number Of wholesale dealers
of this city were al the docks to buy up
a supply OF the fruit to meet the demands
Of the Washington market.
Most of the bananas that have been ar
irving at Baltimore have been brought
from Honduras and other points in Cen
trail America, hurricanes having destroy
ed many Of the banana groves in Jamaica
and cut down the production Of the fruit
more than half. A representative OF one
Of the Baltimore banana importing
houses. who has just made trip over the
island and who returned OH the Katie,
states that the prospects for Il good sea-
son this spring are excellent in Jamaica.
The plantations are rapidly recCyeIinc
from the effects of the terrific hurricane
of last fall, and, according TO present in
dications. the fruit will be better than
heretofore.

The Patent Office Site.

To the Editor Of The Star
BY what line of logic do the SPONSORS
for the new patent office building justify
their scheme to place that Office on the
square they designate?
This office should he downtown. and
should be in close proximity with the
main building Of the Interior Department
The proper place for 1t would seem to be
the square Just west OF the building oc-
cupied BIZ the general land office then
we should have q monumental group of
buildings that would make beautiful
ensembie. The land Office building was
Formerly the Post Office Department. and
a proposition was advanced more than
once to add several stories to it's height
A finished perspective showing 1t SO en-
larred Is still on file and shows a heauti-
mi monumental pile. This could now be
done. and the new building occupy the
SQUARE from 9Th to 9th street and be an
exact reproduction of it. Then, instead of
the present patchwork appearance Of this
rro,in we should have an architectural eff
feet hard to match. I make no accusa-
tions. but the proposition to place the
patent Office in such an out-of-the-way
place as square l43 looks more like deal
than anything else.

BAN ON FAKE DIVIDENDS.
Must Be Earned by National Banks,
Says Controller Murray

Lawrence o. Murray. controller of the
currency, TO-DAY announced his intention
10 stop the practice of national banks
paying dividends when their earnings did
not warrant 1t. He ordered the national
bank examiners to ascertain what banks
are violating the law by paying dividends
from net profits before all losses and bad
debts are deducted. The controller said
he wanted to induce the banks to
strengthen themselves by the accumula-
ton of a substantial surplus.
The directors of some newly organized
and not very prosperous banks Mr.
Murray added, make practice of dis
tributlng their meager earnings in divi-
dends to their stockholders under the
impression that it is necessary to paw
dividends in order to maintain the stand
ing and reputation of the bank in the
community

MISSING THREE YEARS.
Seven-Ton Transformer for Wireless
, Service Goes Astray.

PITTSF1ELD, Mass. February 49,
Five hundred kilograms have been dis
patched from here as a general alarm
for a seven-ton transformer which was
made here for the United States govern
ment wireless service three years ago.
and which has since been missing.
After the big piece of steel was turned
out here it was stored. as the government
was not ready to use it. and when orders
were recently received for its delivery the
manufacturers could not locate il any
where. 1t seemed as if some one had
quietly walked off with the seven-ton
trifle in his pocket. or that the trans
former had mysteriously transformed it
self and walked away.
1t is more probable that it was delivere ]
by mistake to some electrical plant which
has since been using it. kilograms
have been sent to customers throughout
the country In an effort to locate it.

There were overnight buying orders

4 points. A better view of the Mexican
situation and favora BILE spot advices from
the south. combined with the fact that
the market had readily absorbed large
offerings during the previous day. prob
ably accounted for the demand. At the
advance, however, there was renewed
pressure from Wall street and other local
sources and the market reached to nearly
the opening figures before the end of the

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, February 19.-Money was
dearer and discount rates were firmer to-
day. Nervousness over the political sit

stock exchange, and. although public sup
port was scarce, local and continental
professional buying hardened values in
every direction. Sac Paulo Canadian Pa
citic and Mexican rails We're the features,
the latter on the fall of Madero. Gilt
edged securities were dull owing to the
New Zealand loan fiasco.
American securities opened steady and
a fraction higher. The list was support

from a to "a points. Later the i'm
provement was maintained by Wall street
buying.
The closing was steady.
