Shows Discrimination.

We understand the parcel post law
was formed 10 enable all consumers
not only to have their supplies moro
economically carried. but at the
same time to purchase nearer home:
To illustrate how the seed dealer and
nurseryman is Disseminated against,
we submit the following:
Farmer Jones. located in Ogden.
Utah. thirty eight miles north OF
Salt Lake City, places an order with
us for fifty pounds OF white navy
beans for seed purposes, value s26U-
BY reason Of the fact that they are
for planting, under the existing SEED
rate the postage would be "a.
Farmer Brown. also of Ogden. orders
fifty pounds OF the same lot OF beans
for cooking purposes. The postage
In this case would be 81 cents, DIS
elimination OF So. 46.
TIE same condition applies with
equal force TO many other Items In
our line. We believe the regular
parcel post rates of postage snould
obtain OH seeds. plants and bulbs. and
TO that end we ask your co-operation
AS the seeding season is fast ap.
preaching 1t is quite Important that
thls matter should receive prompt
considera ton. otherwise the planters
will be unJustly Disseminated against
during another season.

Danger Is Relieved.

The new ba mixing law relieves this
danger almost entirely. And il was
the possibility Of such a move in the
future that resulted in the aba andon-
ment OF the proposal to establish one
big central bank under the new cur
rency measure. instead Of the eight to
twelve regional banks now provided
for.
! do not believe there will ever be
the incentive again in this country
for men to amasS such fortunes as
have been builded by our foremost
financial leaders in recent years. The
new banking law and the income tax
law will check such moves. l believe
we arc nearing the close OF money
amassing era that has extended
from the battle OF Waterloo down TO
the present day. Such things seem to
move IN cycles. Prior 10 the present
era of money making on so great a
scale, the world experienced an era
of war that produced such men as
Napoleon: prior TO that we had an
era of art. Each cycle produced it's
great leaders and IT seems to me
that the future now holds in store an
era that shall differ from those that
have preceded IT. though in just what
way ] am not prepared to predict
The new currency law cOrrects
many faults in our financial system
and one Of the most important In my
opinion is the abolition. TO very
great degree: of what bankers term
'Dyra miding reserves.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1914-02-27

Opening his address with comparl
son of the banking system Of thi
country and Europe, Mr.. Cosgriff sal
in part:
Our banks differ from those OF the
the independence Of America banks
and bankers Here, each bank is
practically a unit by itself. whereas
in England and other European coun-
tries the banks are closely associated
In ownership and operation. The
great banks of London, for example.
will each have 400 or 800 branches.
and this Is true of the banks In Ber-
lin, Paris. Vienna and other CONT
mental financial centers. In times OF
trouble these branch banks form a
vast reserve for the larger instltu-
tions and enables them to weather
country would find disastrous.
In other words, European banks in
times OF stress move like great
army, while American banks must
meet similar situations without the
advantage of united direction or COM
pact association
But 10 the full credit Of our Amer
lean system this must be said. that
II has been impossible 10 form such
gigantic combinations and trusts In
the banking world OF this country as
have been formed In the Industrial
circles OF the United States. I be-
lieNc that had we been operating our
banks In recent years under the Eu-
ropean system there would have been
combinations of capital formed here
that would absolutely have controlled
the financial destiny OF the United
States

Eruderer First Witness.

Eruderer. the first witness to take the
stand, testified that his attention had
been called 10 Wiliams's body in the pool
by Louis Lietz. He said he noticed the
body lying face upward in the southwest
corner OF the pool, directly below the
springboard and where the water Is seven
feet deep. Eruderer further testified as
follows:
dove into the water and pulled
Williams's body out. After Boce,
DIetz and myself laid the body on the
floor we Immediately began process

DR.. Ashley, the next witness. testified
that he had been called TO the Sanl
tarium about 1915 o clock Tuesday morn
Ing. AS soon as he was shown the body,
he said, he made an examination to sec
whether or not there was any heart ac-
tion. Finding none. he said, he knew
there was not a chance 10 restore life.
He said there was frothy liquid Issuing
from Wiliamss mouth and nose, caused
by the water being forced from his body.

Caused by Drowning.

DR.. Ashley said he thought from his
eXamnat ton Of the body that there was
no question but that death was caused
from accidental drowning. He expressed
the opinion that Williams might have ac-
cidentally struck the side of the pool
when diving and become confused from
the impact. Owing to the fact that the
temperature in the room was rs de-
grees OF warmer. it is considered more
than possible that Williams could have
easily become dazed If he had come into
contact with the side of the pool.
DR. w. n. Pugh. the next witness, tes-
titled that he had examined the body
Tuesday morning and that he was led
TO believe from the cuts on Williams S
face and arm that death had been caused
by accidental drowning. DR.. Pugh said
he did not make an autopsY Of the body.

Bad for West.

According to information In the hands
OF the western seedmen. the discrepancy
in rates is due to influences brought 10
bear by some OF the largest seed houses
in the United States, which are located
in the eastern states. The bulk of the
business OF the eastern houses 1t Is de-
clared, is done with consumers In the
Mississippi valley and the west The ma :
jority- OF the points in those districts are
beyond the fourth zone in the parcel post
classification and take q rate OF more
than cents per pound. This is all very
well for the eastern seedmen, as they can
ship seeds by parcel post TO Ogden at
the same rate that the Salt Lake dealers
must pay. No allowance is made for the
long and the short haul

A few months ago Kruckman, in New

Route Described.

Chicago would be the next station,
New York the third. Bell Island next,
then across TO Cape Farewell in Green
land unless the trans Atlantic flight
next summer proves successful. In that
event the machines will probably cross
direct to England, From London the
route as planned passes through Paris,
Berlin, Warsaw. st. Petersburg, Mos
COW, across Siberia To Vladivostok, to
Kobe and Tokyo. From there il goes up
the coast To the Bering straits and
across to Alaska, down to Sitka, Van
couver, Seattle, Portland and back to
San Francisco.
Steamers Will be stationed in the
oceans. The governments OF the
United States, Great Britain and France
will be asked to patrol the Atlantic
course, and the United States, Japan
and Russia will be asked to patrol the
Pacific course. Oil steamers, carving
supplies and parts, will be stationed
along the route so that the agiators
can land on the water and make re-
pairs from barges.

Mr.. Kruckman IS dream has become q
reality. He is meeting with intense in
tercst everywhere New York has al
ready raised sum for prizes at its
control station. Maps Of air currents
will be made of each section, aud other
maps will show the topography of the
country over which the aviator is fly
ing. Mr.. Kruckman and his secretary,
Lowell Hardy, arc enthusiastic over
the prospects.

one of the aeroplanes that start from
San Francisco will come to Salt Lake
City without leaving the air." he said
last night. Longer flights than that
have already been made in Europe. Salt

of a traus-oceanic flight, why not
a flight around the worlds' he asked
himself. And he Immediately decided
that it was possible, At the sugges"
tion of friend he wrote to President
Moore Of the Panama Pacific exposition
and suggested The idea. President
Moore and the fair directors wired him
10 come TO San Francisco. In six weeks
it was announced TO the world that the
fair management would back a globe
circling race of aeroplanes iii 1915.
Prize money aggregating S15o,000 was
offered by the fair management. Kruck-
man hopes to have this increased to
half million, so that there will be
every incentive to the best aviators
to enter. Many Of them have already
signifled their intention of entering.
There will probably be about fifty Of
them start from San Francisco the
middle of next May. They, will be
aiven l20 days to make the flight,
which would bring them back to San
Francisco In September, by way of
Alaska and Siberia.
Mr.. Kruckman is making tour of
