Comptroller
 Praises New
 Banking Law


 Washington. Dec. so.-Conptrol1er Williams of the Currency Bureau sub nttted his annual report to Congress yesterday. It covers the beginning of the transition from, the old National banking system to the new Federal Reserve system, as well as the oper- ations of more than 1000 National banks which have become part of the new system since his last annual re- port was made.
 Aside from reviewing the provisions of the new bank law and the steps by which it was put into operation, the comptroller makes some recon naentdations for new legis1ation. They are.
 An amendment to require uniform Py-laws. In that connection the scoInptro1ler declares many bank di- rectors fail to direct and says any di- rector who does not attend a majority or board meetings in a year should be ineligible for re- e1eeeion.
 An amendment to permit signatures on national bank notes to be printed instead of made with pen and ink, which could permit the bills tos be washed and restored to circuIation.
 That National banks be required to limit their deposits to ten times their comb ined capital and surplus.
 That the comptroller be empowered to remove, with the approval Sof the. secretary Of the treasury any direc- tor or officer Of q national bank, gull ty of violating any of the more i'm portant provisions of the bank law and direct that suit be brought against them in the name of the bank tox re- cover for the results of any malfeas ance in office. M
 Of the Federal Reserve act and what 1t is expected to accomplish for the finance and commerce of the country the comptroller says:
 sThe Federal Reserve act is de- and defects of the currency system under which we have struggled. and sometimes staggered, in the past, as We have outgroWn, the conditions and passed beyond the circumstances which it was especially. provided to meet, but to offer to the people of this country many new advantages and opportunities, while emancipatlng business from many evils. difficulties. and troubles with which it has been burdened and from which 1t has found no escape"
 At some length the comptroller re counts the activities of governmental agencies to- aid the financial and bus mess world during the stress at the outbreak of the Euripean war. He covers practically the same ground as Secretary 14cAdoo did in his recent report to Congress. The remainder of the comp trol1er,s report is given over te statistics.
 There were %, ,765 .6araxs reporting to state and federal officers in the United States at the close of business on June go. Those banks, including all kinds, had aggregate resources of $26, s71 ,398- 8s1, showing an increase of more than $I 200. .o0o, 600 in the year. There were 772 more banks repogting than the year previous. The banks showed loans and discounts amounting to I $15, ,2s8 5s7. 2s4 with individual deposits subject to check without notice amounting to $9, 539, 573, TIA. They held gold coin and gold. certificates total- the year ended October 31, 1914, the oomptroller says. S19 applications were received from persons Wishing to or ganize national banys- Of these 226 were approved

 OFF 10 FISHEIES

Washington. Dec s0-Equipped m a floating hospital and with a com nissioned officer of the public health service in charge of it's medical de- partments the revenue cutter Andr scoggin was on it's way today to tie North Atlantic to render first aid to all American deep sea fishermen who may be found suffering from physical ailments.

 RIGID EXCL USl0N LAW
 AGAINST TIE CHIN NESE
Addresses National Association of Which He Is President, Calsticaly AFTaignng Gov officials For Apparent Laxity.

rnent of those departments of our gov ernnent responsible for the enforce ment of our immigration 1ssws,' says the article.
 Continuing the arraignment Of the Department of Labor may be quoted:
 Taking whichever view you. will a serious condition is presented. As we know that few Chinese Iaborerss otw residents of this country were here before 1882, we must conclude that the present situation is due to an ex- tremely lax enforcement of long ex- isting law.
 < It seems incomprehensibfe that the Department of Labor of our govern
 nent formed as it was to conserve, elevate and promote the welfare of our laboring population, should look with apparent complaeency upon the gross violation of our ifamigration laws to the end that in our industry alone, business which would give the American 1aborer about $15, ,0O0, ,00O annually in wages is allowed to go to a race debarred from citizenship and who soon return again to their native land carrying with them the cash pro- ceeds of their aitinerart residence among us
 When seen today MT Crawford. presiden Of the laundry company bearing his name in this city, stated that it was not the policy Of the as- sociation to seek newspaper publicity on matters pertaining to Legislation Asked for figures reIating to Bridge port and other Connecticut cities. he pointed out that Bridgeport had about 45 Chinese 1ann ndrfes eInpI owing not less than 75 men of their race and that the amount of business done by them annually would estimate at least Sl38s 80 0 according to per capita fl g. 11res of the assoeiation. He believed that the maximum, if it were able to be ascertained would show over $500 60 O worth of business was done by them Tn this city alone.
 According to statistics at hand Hartford is shown to have 1g2 China men doing a business of $350. 900 per year. New Haven was said to have I50s with a business minimum of $500. .oo0. In the city of Pittsfield. Mass. there are 200 Chinese with but s8sopo population.
