FEW NATIONAL BANKS
OUT OF RESERVE SYSTEM
Applications of 1888 Have Been Re
ceived by Treasury Up to
Present Time.

In due form 1888 national banks had
applied for admission into the reserve
bank system when the mails closed yes
'terday afternoon, leaving 15o banks that
have not regularly applied for admission.
Other banks had flied applications. but
without proper regard to form, an error
which they are supposed to be willing to
correct.
Only nineteen of the forty-eight states
o. the Union are represented in the forty
three applications for admission to the
federal reserve system from state and
savings banks and trust companies eligi-
BILE to membership under the currency
law. While the state laws have not been
examined in Washington to determine
which states make membership in the re-
serve system impossible to banks holding
state charters, there is a probability that
all or the greater part of the twenty-nine
states not heard from have legislative
eRactments prohibiting state chartered
financial institutions from holding stock
of character such as the issue of the
federal reserve system.
California with seven applicants from
sources other than national banks eligi-
BILE to membership, has the greatest num-
Der. There are six applications from In
diana. Texas and Illinois are represented
each by five applications. There are
three applications each from Washington
and Missouri and two from South Caro-
lima. One application each represents the
District of Columbia and the states of
Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia, Michigan, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Kansas. New
York, Alabama and Florida.

the Course.

Deaths III both the army and navy fly
ing squads have put decided damper on
military aviation during the past week.
Lieut.. Post one Of the qualified military
aviators, was killed at San Diego and
Lieut.. Murray. one of the expert navy
fiiers. was killed at Pensacola. So far
there has developed nothing in the way
of satisfactory explanation to account
for either accident. Both occurred under
LOCO feet, and in both cases the machine
seems to have worked itself gradually
into a position for vertice dive
The general impression among the serv-
ice aviators seems to be that probably
the aeroplanes stalled without this being
apparent to the spectators. and the acct
has been suggested that this shows the
need for some effective instrument in the
way of an angle indicator or speed gauge,
or both, with which to equip all of the
service machines.
Glenn Curtiss the aviator, and Mr.
Gasch. the representative of Rodman
Wanamaker. called at the Navy Depart
ment and at the weather bureau Friday,
gathering information that might prove
useful in connection with Curtiss' pro-
posed transatlantic fight. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels said after Mr.. Curtiss
called that no official request had been
made on him for a vessel or vessels to
application was made it would be neces-
sary to confer with the aeronautic ex-
perts of the department before answering
definitely.

Want Standard Machine.

The board also recommended that the
Navy and the Marine Corps should adopt.
the same type of machine with the same
form of controlling mechanism just as
soon as possible. so that qualified pilots
in the Navy or Marine Corps would
be available for handling any machine in
the service at any place whenever occa-
sion should arise.
The board names fifty complete aero
planes and fifty complete sets of snare
parts as the present and immediate fleet
requirements.
No standard control has vet been
worked out by either the army or navv
for fitting to aeronlanes By control
is meant the mechanism by which the

the elevator moved to control the att
tude. This is a problem on which both
branches to the service are working.
An announcement sent out by the Wright
company states that it has just adopted
a new system of control. Up to date all
the Wright machines have been manp-
ulated through two levers, one of which
controlled the warp of the wines and the
other moved the elevator. The rioht-
hand rudder was hinged at the top. This
top could be bent over to move the
vertical rear rudder. There was moth
ing instructive about this control and it
was criticised by many aviators but
it had been used SO long that it was
considered almost an essential part of
