WANT BANK Law RULING.
Private BANKERS Uncertain About
Going on National Hank Hon r.is.

Many private bankers of New York are
looking for an Interpretation before next
Tuesday Of the clause of the currency law
which seems to prevent their holding di-
rectofships on national banks. Tho annual
meetings OF all the national banks are Sc;
for next Tuesday. when nuinpcr OF
changes in directorates are expected.
Prominent private bankers will base
their action In continuing or resigniug from
the boards on what they believe 20 be a
correct constituting OF the meaning Of the
section or the law. The attorneys OF a
number have been working on the matter
and nave given opinions. II is hoped by
many bankers however. that a statement
or the Governments Interpretation OF the
clause will be made before the time Of
the annual meetings.
Sooner or later the Government through
the Treasury Department, will be forced TO
take a position on the matter, IL IL argued,
AZ to whether 1t will interpret the section
broadly or in the literal sense. The adj
vantage OF an announcement at this time
said bankers yesterday, would he large I'm
guiding action at the approaching meet
ings. The section OF the law forbids "A d!-
rector OF national bank from rece!v. ng
any Zee or commission. a provision which
bears directly on the relations OF a private
banker with a national bank in the iio.a-
ton Of securities.
Secretary McAdoo said yesterday tina;
he had not considered the point. lie was
not prepared to state his opinion. He sald
that the matter had not yet come before
him and that until the case was raised
In presentation of a request for in,erpre-
tation or the department he would not,
offer an opinion.
1t has been stated tina, the action of the
Morgan partners with regard 20 their bank
directorshps will bc based very largely on
their decision as to the construction OF
the currency law.

GAME OF THE SEASON
Fisher Pitches Good Game and
Gets a Goat-LOCalS Play
Without an Error-SC0re 8
too Favor of MiShaWaka.

The game with the South Bend
Hoosier Creams was a dead walk
away Sunday afternoon at the north
side ball park for the locals. Misha-
waka was greatly assisted in their
game by Fisher who was last years
pitcher The locals defeated the Wis
itors by a score of TO 0. Fisher was
given splendid assistance by his team
mates and Mishawaka played the
game without a single error. The Wis
itOrs were only able to secure three
lonely hits.
Mishawaka took her first score in
the third when Murphy hit TO third
base. He safely secured first and later
stole second and third. Fisher also
secured { hit to short and clear num-
Der one sack. PhiliOn surprised the
pitcher for the opponents with low
drive straight through the pitcher
box on past second and away out into
center. Before the ball could be re-
covered Murphy and Fisher crossed
the plate for first counts of the game.
Williams who was next up. placed a
long drive into left field, securing
two bags and brought PhiliOn In from
second base.

showed some speed and Fisher who
was first up secured his second mt
Of the game, getting one base. Weber
followed with a short one to first and
secured the bag in the scramble for
the ball Philion again came in for
a grandstand play with the fans when
he drove the ball clear of left field

Weber scored on this hit and the
score remained the same throughout
the contest.

ernoon put up the best game Of ball
for the season. The team work was
almost perfect. Fisher toward the
last Of the game had the visitors com

of handling the ball.

on +. Fourth st. between and D
o'clock Sunday evening. VIM. ii.
RittenhOuse. the night agent was IN
charge of the office at the time and as
is his custom went TO the street 10
meet the 5:35 interurban. He was
gone about five minutes and on MS
return found that the cash drawer
had been robbed of $23 all in bills.
When he left the office there was
only one man IN the waiting room,
and il is natural to suppose that he
saw a safe chance for making maui.
The agent says the stranger had been
in the waiting room for an hour pre-
vious to the theft ostensibly waiting
for a car He noticed nothing unus-
ual about the mans demeanor and he
did not notice him leave the waiting
room. There was S12.S6 in silver
