IN FAVOR OF
ONE LARGE BANK
New York Financiers Want
Big Reserve Institution.
BAKER ATTENDS HEARING
Director Of Numerous Corporations,
Among the Last to Testify, En-
phaticaIIy Endorses the Views Of a
Majority of His Predecessors.

New York, Jan. S.-Despite the ap-
parent opposition of Secretary Nc
Adoo of the treasury department and
Secretary Garrison of the department
of agriculture to the proposal of New
York bankers for the establishment
here of a regional reserve bank of
oyershadowing size, the witnesses
who appeared at the hearing of the
federal reserve organization commit
tee insisted almost unanimously that
such a bank was necessary.
From the long list of New York's
leading financiers who have appeared
before the committee one conspicu-
Gus name was missing. 1t was that
of George +. Baker, perhaps the clos
est associate of the elder ]. 2. Nor
gan, and a director of more impor-
tant corporations than any other man
in the country. When Mr.. Baker APP
peared he sided emphatically with
the majority of his predecessors be-
fore the committee.
"The Eastern district said he,
should be as large as it could be
made to comply with the require
ments of making eight districts"
Don't you think" asked Secretary
McAdoo, that it would be better to
have eight strong banks than n
strong bank and seven weak ones?"
II wouldn't call the others weak"
said Mr.. Baker, but | wouldn't have
the New York district extended to
the detriment of the others"

they had told the timing and exultant

of the neighborhood, in endeavoring to
save their stock from the invaders, had
driven herds OF cattle, sheep and pigs
into the galleries for concealment; con-
