SWEET DETERMINED
OFFICES MUST GO
Speaker Insists Assembly Won't
Provide for Fire Marshal and
Efficiency Bureaus.

Albany, March 13-Prospects Of long
extra session Of the Legislature should
the two houses fail to get together on the
financial bills hold no fears for Speaker
Sweet. He declared to-day that he would
rather remain here all summer" than 10
recede from the Assemblys position
against granting the Fire Marshal's office
and the Efficiency and Economy Depart
ment appropriations.
ut is my personal opinion that the ma
jority Of the Republican members feel as
1 do about the situation" the Speaker
said. I've have gone on record against
these appropriations, and we cannot re-
verse our positions. Should that be done
the cry would go up that these slashes in
the appropriation bills had been made
only for political effect, and we have not
taken the stand for that reason. l doubt
If there will be an extra session. think
the Senate will agree TO the cuts"
Chairman Frawley OF the Senate FL
nance Committee is more optimistic than
the Speaker lie thinks the Assembly
will make some concession and the bill
will go through. Some legislators believe
the final disposition of the problem will
be the elimination of the Efficiency and
Economy Department and the retention
of the Fire Marshal's Office.
Republican leaders have decided that
the Sullivan graft investigation will cost
more than was planned originally, and
Assemblyman Cristman introduced to-
day a resolution TO raise the appropria-
ton from $4,000 to $4,000. The resolution
was adopted.
The request of the Assembly that the
Senate return the appropriation bill for
the Sullivan committee. that the amount
might be raised from $4,000 to $4,000 was
refused by the upper house.
The bill then went to the rlnance Com
mittee of the Senate for consideration 1t
is said the committee plans to add a
rider TO the bill intended to give the
Senate representation on the body, and
then pass the measure.

.CORONERS UNITE
TO DEFEND JOBS
Officials in Five BOroughs Form
Association to Bring About
Unanimity of Action.

The coroners Association of Greater
New York was formed at meeting oil
all the coroners held yesterday at the
Manhattan Coroners' office. The object OF
the association is primarily to organize
better the workings OF the offices III the
five boroughs so as to accomplish unanim-
ity OF action.
Frank S. Senior. of Brooklyn, was
elected president and James l.. VAIL Oh
Richmond, secretary. Five coroners' one
from each borough, were elected COM
mittee to go to Albany, If necessary ana
give out the real truths of the workings
Of the coroner's offices so that there shaii
be no misapprehension in the minds OF the
legislators as to the actions and duties Oh
coroners. under the present charter.
This action is to oppose the bill brought
forward by the Short Ballot Association
for the abolishing of coroners after their
present term, and the appointment OF
medical examiners.
Senior and Vail, Carl Voegel, Queens;
William J. Flynn, Tho Bronx, and DE-
Israel l.. Feinberg, Manhattan, were APP
pointed as the committee. when asked
regarding their objections to the DILL
Coroner Fenberg said:
1--WE feel that the bill is introduced AT
the request of few medical men VINO
are connected with the medical colleges IN
the greater city. and who are desirous Oh
getting, under the new system proposed

can. Under the present system they nave
no right to make a dead body an autopsl-

State Institutions Have
Twice the Aggregate
Resources.
TRUST COMPANIES
INCREASE S8O0,0O0
Banking Department Gives New
York II Per Cent of Total
for United States.

Albany. March 10. - Superintendent
George c. Van Tuyl. jr.. Of the State
Banking Department. in his annual re-
day, shows that the national banks are of
secondary Importance in New York State.
The aggregate figures for the New York
State institutions. he asserts, represent
almost twice the aggregate resources OF
the New York State national banks.
Other institutions, including savings and
loan associations, mortgage loan and in
vestment companies, safe deposit COM
panies and personal loan associations,
have combined resources OF s950O0,0O.
The savings and loan associations,
which occupy the field in many of the
villages of the state. have aggregate re-
sources of nearly $4,000 600.
THE banking power of The United
States" says Mr.. Van Tuyl. Including
capital, surplus, undivided profits. de-
poslts, exclusive of bank deposits and ma
tional bank notes Issued as circulation, as
computed by the Controller Of the Cur
rency, aggregates So, Isl, coo 900. The bank
ing power of New York State banks and
trust companies aggregates 2@5,OO.OOO
and the savings banks of the state con-
tribute an additional s1,9260o0,coo, giving
New York State II per cent Of the total
for all banks in the United States. The
banking power of our state banks and
trust companies alone is Sa4 per cent OF
the total for the United States.
The aggregate capital. surplus and un-
di,.idad r,rOftc of trust companies and
state banks in this state approximate
1899 100000. which is more. than ~ per
cent of the total for the country, but to
these figures there should rightfully be
added the surplus OF the savings banks OF
this state. which aggregates Sll6,O0O,0',
making the total for New York State
800. 100000 or over 10 per cent of the coun-
try's total.
Savings depoe..s in all the banks Of
the United States are estimated at &c.
972. 900 The aggregate deposits in New
York State savings banks are Sl7H,OOo 600.
so il appears that the savings banks of
this state have about % per cent OF the
entire savings deposits of the country.
The aggregate resources OF the savings
banks on January I. 1914. were $685.
S31. a new high record for these institu-
tons The increase in resources during
the year was SO, 5j0,51S.
Aggregate surplus. including all I'M
divided profits on market value Of stocks
and bonds held, on December ., 1913 was
S17l.9n. 500, q decrease during the year Of
S1O.S451s6.
with aggregate resources OF Sl5A.6JG,-
2O7. there was during the year very little
rediscountng or borrowing OF funds on
the part of the trust companies of the
state"
