His Appearance a Surprise
Believes Assets Demand Il.
Commissioners Favor Regional Dis
tricts More Equally Divided.

New York, Jan. e.. P. Morgan
aligned himself today with the adVo-
Gates of a regional bank of command
ing size in the district which is to in
clude New York. Most of the other
witnesses who appeared at today's
hearing of the federal reserve organ
ization committee shared Mr.. Nor
gan's views, arguing for the establish
ment of a regional bank In this terri
tory, which would represent 40 per
cent or more of the capital OF the en-
tire national system. Secretary Nc
Adoo of the treasury department ana
Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture, who compose the com
mittee, intimated that they did not
share this view, although both said
they had reached no decision.
Frequent questions bore on the
feasibility of making the regional dis
tricts more nearly equal with perhaps
three banks in the Northeast, instead
of one.
Mr.. Morgan's appearance before the
committee was a surprise, and the
banker indicated that the invitation to
give his views was something of a
surprise to him, as he had not been
requested to appear until shortly be-
fore the hours of closing. He stated
that he had not considered carefully
the division of the country into re-
gional districts, Mr.. Morgan said he
would not attempt to outline any de-
tailed plan.
I'm trying to see how the whole
United States is to be handled" he ex-
planned. That's all I'm any good
for"
Mr.. Morgan surprised his hearers by
saying ne did not consider it important
whether a regional bank were locat
ed in New York. 1t might as we'll be
in Boston, he believed. The impor-
tant thing he said, was to have the
bank which served the New York dis
trict of sufficient size to command the
respect OF the business men and bank
ers of all countries. AS to the amount
of capital in this bank, which many
witnesses had said should be larger
than that of any member bank, Mr..
Morgan attached comparatively little
Importance to that phase of the mat
ter.

sents."

President Wilson Hard at Work
Even Though on a Vacation.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. 6.-President
Wilson worked away on a moss of letters

Notwithstanding the understanding
among members of Congress that they
will make no recommendations to the
President for members of the board,
many other persons have written the ex-

gone beyond the drafting of tentative

Washington, Jan. 6.-The New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad and
the department of justice had reached
the point in their negotiations tonight
where it WAS practically certain that
the final policy of the government to-
ward that road will be announced
within the next as hours If the New
Haven agrees to accept the re-organi-
zation which will insure restoration of
what the department considers a fair
measure of competition in the field of
New England transportation, it will
be allowed to pursue it's plans for such
a reorganization practically unmo-
Tested by the government. If the rail-
road prefers to fight, Attorney Gen
eral McReynoldst will institute pro-
ceedings as soon as possible under the
antitrust act to divorce the New Ha-
ven from its steamship, trolley and
railroad holdings.
Unofficial predictions tonight favor
ed the peaceful plan and it was the
general belief that unless some un-
forseen problem arises tomorrow, an
nouncement of an agreement would be
made during the present week. The
confident feeling that the New Haven
and the department will arrive at a
solution of their difficulties which will
avoid a long struggle in the courts.

Howard Elliott, chairman of the
board. and Attorney General Mercy

attorney general in charge of this

Mr.. Elliott announced tonight that
he expected to remain in Washington

be in consultation with department
officials tomorrow, he will be in close
touch with the situation and will be

Heroic Rescue Of Five Of the
0kIahOIna's Crew.
Officers Of Booth Liner Gregory
Take Men from Open Boat.
Thirteen Survivors Now Accounted
For..Hope Others Survive.

New York, Jan. 6.-Tkirteen surviv-
ors were accounted for tonight out of
3S men aboard the tank steamer Okla
homa when she broke in two last Sun
day in a storm off Barnegat.
Another story of, heroic rescue was
written beside the tale told by the
wireless that brought the first news
of the disaster. Until the Booth Lin
er Gregory, fresh from a voyage of
1000 miles up the Amazon, steamed into
port today, the eight men taken off the
Oklahoma by the steamship Bavaria
were believed to be the only ones saw
ed. But the Gregory had five more
from the shipwrecked steamer that he
officers had dragged out of the tun-
bling sea at the risk of their own lives.
So the OlSlahoma's death list stood at
% tonight and although her owners
swept the sea with wireless MESA ges
imploring all vessels to look out for
one OF the steamers boats that might
still be adrift there was little hope
that more of the crew would be saved.
what little hope remained was based
on the fact that the men brought to
port by the Gregory said another life
boat besides theirs had been launched
from the sinking steamer.
There was little doubt, however. that
this was the boat sighted by the rev.
enue cutter Seneca with three frozen
bodies under it's thwarts. The other
boat, which carried the five survivors
within reach of the Gregory contained
but one body when it was cast adrift
after the rescue.

other. Its efforts in the past in the
legislation of the State as relates to
fish ard game has meant very much to
these interests, and there is still a fu-
turc for this association in looking we'll
towards the enactment of laws that
would best conserve the fish and game
interests of the State of Maine.
THE year has been a prosperous one,
many new members joining the asse-
citation, largely through the efforts Of
Fly Rod" who is known to all
spertsmen and who has since the or
ganization of the association had a
warm spot in her heart for it's welfare.
THE midsummer meeting held in
July at Mountain View, Rangeley
Lake, was one of the most interesting
and largest ever attended. The sports
went off with a snap, especially the
shooting events, and l trust that the
officers for the present year Will see
fit to hold their midsummer meeting
at the same place, as in my judgment
there is none better in the State of
Maine. as it is easy of access and with
every facility for shooting, boating and
all other sports that are made fac
tors of the meeting.
Il do not need to say to you that our
fish and game IN the State of Maine
are one of our most valuable assets.
and right here, I wish to express my
opinion that one of the most valued
of these assets Is the moose, and |
honestly believe that unless protec-
tion is given to the moose for a term
of years-and that protection to begin
at very early date we will be lock
ing the stable after the horse IS gone
AS many of you know, l have at each
of the two last sessions of the legis-
lature with the help Of those who be-
ieye as | dc, made an effort and a
fight for a four-years' close time on
moose, and while the movement has
been defeated. yet it has brought about
some results, namely, that of shorten
Ing the open season. Knowing as 1 and
many of you do the results of the
moose killing this fall-the shortening
of the season, of course. reducing the
number killed somewhat, yet from
these results [ am still more firmly
convinced that the day of the big bull
moose has past. never to return, un-
less there can be a close time of at
least four or five years beginning in

one of the smaller rooms of the State

the very near future, and | trust that
this association will go on record be-
fore our next legislature as having
made an effort to obtain close time
on moose.
II will not here discuss the license
fee for nonresident hunters, but Will
say that / thoroughly believe it is
high time that the residents of the
State of Maine paid a hunting license,
not large but something to help out
the finances of our fish and game COM
mission, to make it possible for them
to give better warden service in the
State; and l am not so sure but the
nonresident fishermen should also pay
a fishing license as | am informed on
good authority that several states re-
quire such license and cannot furnish
such sport in fresh water fishing as
can he found in our 1900 lakes in the
State of Maine.
Another thing comes to me which
I think is of vital Importance to this
State. / refer to the appalling number
of deaths that have occurred in our
Maine woods this last year, and it
seems to me that there must be some
thing done to reduce this blotting out
of SO many human lives. l am heart
lily in accord with Commissioner Meals
idea to allow nothing but buck deer to
be killed, as with such a law it would
seem as though there could be no oc-
casion for a man to shoot without
knowing what he was shooting at,

law tried out for a couple of years,
when, if the accidents were not less
ened. let us repeal it and try some
thing else; but let us devise some
means and let this association be be-
hind it to prevent this slaughter and
loss of human life that is occurring
more and more every fall
