BANKER MISTAKEN,
SAYS DIRECTOR HERE
E. T. Jeffery Says System Is Well
Provided with Banking
Sponsors.
from The Tribune Bureau. I

WASHINGTON, March &.-Willard v.
King, Of the Columbia Knickerbocker
Trust Company, told the House judiciary
Committee to-day that the interlocKing
directorate bill would bring disaster.
He said II would be fatal to many Of
the railroads to divorce them from the
banking interests with which they were
associated. He cited the case OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad. which, he sald'
would go into the hands of a receiver
next summer unless it received strong
financial support from New York.
MIR. King contended that it was per-
fectly natural for banks and railroads to
have directors in common, and he de-
clared he could see no evil results arising
from such an interlocking of interests.
The necessity for banking cooperation In
the financing of railroads was demon
strated, he thought, in the case of the
Kansas City & Orient Railroad, which
promoter sought TO build without the aid
Of New York City banks. The road went
into a receivership. said Mr.. King, be-
cause 1t did not have strong backing and
the small investors who had been induced
10 invest in 1t were the ones who suf-
fered.
Willard V. Kings assertion before the
House Judiciary Committee, published by
a Wall Street news agency yesterday,
that the Missouri Pacific would be in the
hands Of receivers before summer unless
banks offered aid created excited COM
ment among bankers and railroad men.
The action of the stock, however, belied
the serious import of Mr.. Kings remarks
by maintaining its advance OF a point
over Thursdays closing price.
There was disposition by some to be-
heve that Mr.. King was misquoted, and
that a more complete report of his testi-
mony would reveal this to be true. on
the assumption that the head of the CO.
lunbia- Knickerbocker Trust Company
was quoted correctly, f. 7. Jeffery, d.
rector OF the Missouri Pacific, said:
1T was unfortunate that Mr.. King
chose the Missouri Pacific as an example
Of q road without banking sponsors. He
was probably requested TO give concrete
example of a system TO bear out MS
argument favoring interlockinS director
ates. AS a matter of fact, however, there
are FIVE bankers on the Missouri Pacihc
hoard and one on the ST. Louis. Iron
Mountain & Southern's."
on the general subject of interlocking
directorates Mr.. Jeffery said: For nifty
Years, as matter Of conscience, l have
made ii rule not to sit on the boards
If companies which sell supplies to each
other My mother taught me from her
Bible when ] was a child that one could
not serve both God and Mammon."
AS TO the Missouri Pacific's financial
condition George J. Gould said few days
ago regarding the s25,000,00o notes ma

King Georges Blunder
 Threatens Asquith Cabinet

GNINCEs THE TIME of William and Mary tn - King of England has ruled by virtue of an act of parliament. He is g figurehead who is not expected to. interfere with the gov- ernment of the country. That is i'll the hands of parliament, which operates through a min- isfry of the party in power.
 King George seems to have bIundered into the idea that if was his duty 10 compound the difference between the army and parliament, and fn attempting to do 50 perhaps has accom- plislled the overthrow Of the present govern sment which may mean nothing less than fur ther step toward progress and the creation of t new government, wi Lloyd George at the lead of it.
 EtaseeIns certain that the conservatives have lnade a serious thunder They have threatened army and parliament have disputed as to WHICH is the GOVERNMENT. s
 There are many people in England who would get<rid of the throne, if they could They regard it as out Of date, and object to the cost that the royal establis hnent entails upon the nation.
 The effect of the ar1lyas mutinous altitude upon the tcoHntry's affection for the king, has been disastrous There has not been time in the recent history of England when criticisms sthe throne were So sharply uttered and so enthusiastically received as now.
 Home rule has ceased to be an Irish Sques- ton. It has become "a world question: If threat of disaffection in the army of great na- lion check a great democratic reform, re- publican institutonss everywhere will be sub jert 10 threat Reactionaries everywhere will seek and appeal to force, if the arisfocracy of England is successful in checking progress by using it's influence with the military establish 1ents
 The fall Of the Asquith government may be nome entarily expected It may tread close upon the resignation of War Minister=seeley. The new election will be to a more stirring question than home rule, Important as that is.

Drastic Means Necessary To Kill Off Connecticut Lobby

.~HERE WAS LESS jest than truth in the l statement of Former Senator Joseph W. Alsop, state chairman for the Progressive party, who said: We propose to burn the barn to kill the rafs.'' Thus does Senator AIsop signify the belief of Progressives that the lob by, and the privileged corporations are too strongly entrenehed in the Republican organ zation to be driven out by any other means than the destruction Of the party that harbers them.
 The determination of the Progressives not to fuse or arnalgamate with any other party re- fleets credit upon the Judgment of the party leaders.
 Fusion is well enough in the case of tenn porary movements, where the object is simply to accomplish some special measure, change.
 But party equipped with principles which 1t desires to enact into laws cannot merge with other parties of differing principles, and espec- ially not with any party in power.
 Fusion has destroyed many promising third party movements in America The result of is has az-vays been the alienation of the leaders of the new party and the consequent destrue- ton of the movement.
 The Progressive determination to make an active fight for direct primaries will get them many votes. No reform is more needed in Con- nectieut.

Thomas is head of the Cambrian Coal Co.,. a gigantic corporation which operates the greatest coIIieries in Wales and which exports coal all over the world. South America is now one of the best customers for British coal, and it is alleged in some of the London papers that the recent American vis- its of the coal king have had for their object the protection of British coal interests against the American conn petition that is expected to spring up as soon as the Panama canal is open ed. Mr. Thomas plan, according to the London Morning Post, is to ex- tend his interests to those coal fields of North America which produce fuel suitable for export. It is said that he has secured options on q humber Of practicaIly undeveloped coal mines on this side of the Atlantic, and will use them to meet American competi- ton in South America The cambri- an syndicate, organized by MT. Thom- as, controls the distribution of more than e,O9o.ooo tons of coal annually. The coal king is prominent in politics as a Liberal, and for twenty-twe years he represented a Welsh con, stituency in Parliament. His wife is an ardent suffragist, and was arrest ed last month on the charge of ob- structing the police at a suffragette demonstration. The fuel monarch's
