Bankers Sorry They Spoke

Now that it is all over, and John
Shelton Williams has been confirmed
as comptroller of the currency, thereby
becoming a member of the federal re-
serve board, there are a few bankers
who are very sorry they spoke. For a
good many years the National City
Bank of New York, and tie Riggs at
Washington the latter being a sort of
ally of the big New York Institution,
have been having a good deal to say
about the management of the treasury
and few other minor affairs" of the
government. Then came Williams unto
the scene man who was himself a
banker. and most of all, unafraid.
Williams was assistant treasurer, and
before he had hardly gotten his chair
warm began to show his dislike for red
tape. He found that the National City
Bank kept a special clerk in the
Treasury. Immediately he said: get
out. The National City was mad. and
so was the Riggs. Then few weeks
ago the reckless banking schemes of
the young Mr. Jordan suddenly preci-
pitated a crisis in the affairs of his
seven big Washington trust companies.
Something had to be done quickly to
save SO. 600 depositors. Williams did it.
He accepted the guarantee of the
Washington bankers on lot of first
class paper, and at nine O'Clock on the
morning following the commencement
of the run he had a million dollars
in cold cash at the doors of the United
States Trust Company. The long lines
of waiting depositors vanished. and
the crisis passed Somebody discovered
that somewhere or somehow Williams
had a brother interested in the trust
company. and that he "usurped" au-
thority, and did what somebody else
should have done but lacked the 70
to do The big National City Bank and
its twin, the Riggs, led off in the fight .
against Williams. rht Bankers VINO

TRUE TO THE END.
And After Many Years Came Her
Tragic and Pathetic Reward.

And After Many Years Came Her
Tragic and Pathetic Reward.
A number of years ago some miners
in Wales in exploring an old disused
pit found the body Of a young man
dressed in a fashion long out of date.
The peculiar action of the air of the
mine was such as preserved the body
so perfectly that it appeared asleep
rather than dead,
The miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstances. No one in the district had
been missed within their remembrance,
and at last it was resolved to bring in
the oldest inhabitant. an old lady over
eighty years old. who had lived single
in the village all her life.
When she was taken into the room
where the dead man lay a strange
thing occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed it and addressed
it by every term of endearment spoken
in bygone generation. He was her
only love, and she had waited for him
her long life. She knew he had not
forsaken her.
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed sixty years before. Her
lover had disappeared mysteriously,
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval
The miners removed the old lady to
her house. and that night her faithful
spirit rejoined that of her long lost
lover.-London Telegraph.

Nothing Like the Parcel Post.

Postmaster General Burleson figures
it all out that during the post office
year beginning July /. 1914, that the
gross revenues of the government
from the parcel post Will amount to
500, 600. 900. This means great profit
to the Department since the packages
will average ten cents each. For many
years the opponents of the parcel post
made the country believe that even an
eleven-pound limit to parcels would
practically bankrupt the gvernment.
Already We have fifty pound packages
and twenty pound packages within the
nearer zones, and now the Postmaster
General declares that tho l00-pound
weight limit has no terrors for me. >"
He states that very broad powers have
been conferred upon his department.
