MANY AMENDMENTS
TO THE BANKING BILL
Mississippi House Adopts
Senate Measure After a
Two Days Fight

jackson, Miss, February 12.-(Special)
The lower house of the Mississippi legis-
lature has adopted the senate banking
bill after a two days fight, but not with
out numerous and important amendments.
which may or may not be accepted by the
senate. The guarantee and the elective
features We're both accepted by the house,
but not in the exact form in which they
came from the senate, wherefore there
will be lively tilt when the bill is sent
back where it originated.
In some instances entire sections were
knocked out, while entire new sections
were inserted. Those may not please the
senate, and it is possible that the two
houses Will come no nearer getting to-
gether than at the session of two years
ago. AT that session the senate demanded
the appointment of bank examiners, and
the house would not accept that feature
The house insisted the examiners should
be elected by the people. but the senate
would have none of that. Their differ
ences We're never settled and the legisla-
ture adjourned without giving the people
the banking law they demanded, but dur
ing recess the demand has grown and
strengthened until no member of either
house dared vote against some kind of
a bill for the supervision of banks.
The demand for the guarantee feature
is something new, having never been sug-
gested here until after the present session
had begun. But it took like wild fire.
largely because of the fact that Mr.. Bry-
an was one of it's champions. He was in
cited by resolution to come down to Jack
son and tell the lawmakers all about it,
but declined. However, he did the next
best thing and sent copies of his speeches
on that subject, all of which were read
diligently and heartily indorsed by the
great majority.

BALDWIN WILL HAVE
25D|PP|NGV VATS
Commissioners Propose to
Rid Cattle of the Texas
Fever and Tick

Bay Minette, February 12.-(SpeciaD
Through her county commissioners, Bald
win Tuesday took mammoth stride for
ward when a resolution was adopted to
install, at various points in the county,
% dipping watts for the purpose of rid
ding the cattle of the Texas fever and
cattle tick.
The fact that the ticks and Texas fever
were both in the county and in this entire
section of the state, compelled the gov
ernment to put ban on the shipments
of live stock from this county north.
Baldwin is now the second county in the
state to meet the requirements of the
law which will enable them to make their
shipments of dipped cattle to any part
of the United States
The method to be used by the commits
sioners in the location of the watts is to
have each one notify the residents of his
district, and upon application from them
for the vat they will be given the ma
terial with which to construct same, and
the location for 1t will be decided upon
by themselves. This method will be fol-
lowed until the full 20 watts have been To-
Gated.

New York, February 12.-(Special)
Presumably the regional bank for the re-
serve district of which New York is the
center will be at first established in the
subtreasury building, and like selections
probably will be made of the subtreasury
buildings in all the cities where sub
treasures are located. The selection of
the building for the offices of the regional
banks WILL bankers say, be the least of
the difficulties which must be overcome
before the new system works smoothly.
At the clearing house in this city it is
presumed that a committee, perhaps in
formally chosen, is occupied in attempt
ing to make the change from the old to
the new system as easy as possible for
the banks, expecting to do this by
statement which will explain in some de-
tail in what manner the old apparatus
of national banking can be eliminated
and the new one substituted for it, Last
fall committee of that kind was occu-
pied in endeavoring to learn how the
transition could be made with the least
friction with intent to publish the results
of its study so that the information would
be available for all the banks. The bill
was considerably modified while this COM
mittee, which was purely informal, was
thus employed The presumption has
been that it continued its labors after the
perfected bill became a law.
In civil war days the establishment of
the national banking system was slow.
At first only a few banks surrendered
their state charters so as to take out ma
tional charters and the number of newly
organized banks under national char
tens was, in the first year after the en-
aetment of the law, small. Therefore re-
adjustment of our banking system from
the old state bank organization to the
new national banking establishment was
gradual and perfected with very little
friction.
But now there is to be almost instan-
taneous abandonment of banking opera
tions as these were carried on under the
old law and the substitution for them of
new methods.
Local bankers say that there now
seems to be but little doubt about the
new national banking organization num-
bering in its membership practically all
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-13

OF the national banks. Next week the
official statement of the number of appli-
cants will be made public and the belief
here is that this statement will show that
very few of the national banks have not
accepted the opportunity to apply for
membership.

 The statement is declared to impli- cate no one but the men who died to- day. No word was forthcoming as to whether the confession was made by all or one of the condemned men. It was given to Warden Clancy about four o'clock this morning.
