ANNUAL REPORT
OF BANK EXAMINER
OHIO BANKS SAID TO BE IN
FLOURiSHiNG CONDITION.
REcoDIFY LAWS.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Fourteen Recommendations Include
Provisions on Private Banks
and PaWnbrokers.
(By Denny Donovan.)

Columbus.-Never before were Ohio
state banks, incorporated and private,
in as good condition as they are now.
Thus State Banking Superintendent
Emory Lattanner, in his report for the
year ended November Is, summarizes
the situation so far as the banks are
concerned. Plans for the future, he
says, contemplate watching over the
weak institutions, (which need nurs-
ing and attention to bring them into
good condition, if possible.
I'VE hope" he adds, ito have every
bank the coming yea in such splendid
condition as to its assets that there
car be no possibility of a failure of
any bank under the supervision of this
department"
Enlarged upon is the feature of ex-
aiming into the credit standing of
borrowers from state and private
banks, and Mr.. Lattanner says: 1--WE
hope during the next year to have on
file a copy of the financial statement
of all the large borrowers in the state.''
The information should be available
for the use of the superintendent and
examiners.
There are Ia distinct recommends
tions made by the superintendent,
practically all of which require action
by the general assembly, and in some
instances involving changes in the
policy of the state. Supported, it is
understood, by the bankers of the state
with whom he has had numerous con-
ferences is the proposal for a commits
sion to recodify all the existing bank
ing laws and to eliminate the numer-
GUS technicalities by which those who
violate the spirit and purpose OF the
banking laws have been enabled to es-
cape punishment. The remaining por-
tions of the old free banking" act that
preceded the Thomas act of 1908
should be swept away as now practi-
cally obsolete, he declares.

TO BAR WARSHIPS
SOUTHERN NATIONS URGE THE
UNITED STATES TO PRO-
TEcT THEM.
PLAN FOR TRADE SAFEGUARD
Proposals Seek Restoration Of Com
merce Between Republics Paraiyzed
by European War-cruiser Guards
Peruvian Coast.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The United
States government has been asked by
the principal nations of South America
to cooperate with them in negotia-
tions with the be,iigerent powers OF
Europe to bring about the exclusion
OF all beiligerent warships from the
waters of the two Americas and safe
guard the trade of pan-American
countries with each other
Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay
have laid their suggestions before the
Washington government, while n
Brazilian government is considering
the ~advisability Of taking a similar
step. Practically all the Central and
South American countries have been
~circularized by some of the principal
nations, resulting in a series of d1plo-
matte conferences in Washington n
the capitals of South America which
are nov in progress.
While the proposals are different in
character and scope, they all seek the
anne end-the restoration of the trade
between North and South America
paralyzed by the European war. The
movement also has for it's object the
removal of possible use of serious
friction between the countries of this
hemisphere and the European bellig-
erents on questions of neutrality.
Already Chile, Ecuador and Colon
bia have had serious difficulties with
the b~elligerents over the use of the
wireless and the coaling of foreign
warships, whose presence in the At
lantic and Pacific is growing obnox-
ious to South American countries.
None of the nations which have
mace suggestions is committed to any
particular plan, but all seek the Co
operation of the United States. The
impetus that will make any plan eff
fectfve, it is recognized by the diplo-
mats of South America, rests with
President Wilson.
Lima. Peru, Nov. 2S.-The cruiser
Coronel Bolognesi has been assigned
to patrol the coast of Peru, in order
that the neutrality of the country be
preserved.
Another cruiser will sail soon to do
scout duty along the southern coast.
Both cruisers are under orders to
protect British steamers. by force If
necessary. AS a result of this &C.
ton by the government, steamships
will renew their voyages Immediately.

No Opposition Is Offered.

At least twenty-four municipali5
ties in the state have taken out petit
tons to vote themselves dry under the
Beal law. In every instance, these are
towns which were protected by the
Rose county option law, which is re-
pealed by the amendment. There also
will be township elections soon.
1t is stated on some semi-oficial au-
thority that no effort will be made by
the Ohio AntiSaloon League to vote
dry any section of a state not at pres
ent dry, but which may have shown a
majority in favor of prohibition at the
last election.
The officials of the Ohio Anti-Saloon
League takes the ground that in most
instances the vote recorded indicates
a desire for statewide prohibition and
that it is not fair to interpret the vote
this month in terms of any more re-
stricted district. No opposition will
be offered if any OF these districts
should desire to make a vote. but 1t
will not be urged upon tacm.

Police and Bondsmen.

When policemen or other officers Of
a municipality exceed their lawful au-
thority they and their bondsmen here
after, and not the general taxpayers,
must bear the damages. This Is the
substance of a ruling given by Attor-
ney General Timothy s. Hogan to the
State Bureau of Accounting in settle
ment of a point Of law, admitted to
be SO close that may be had
to the courts for final settlement,
Mr.. Hogan holds that a municipal
council is without warrant of law to
reimburse policemen called upon to
respond in damages where their acts
have resulted in recovery by innocent
third parties. There are many such
cases in Ohio cities now, many hav-
ing grown out of police raids.
