I.MO NAMES
Of West Virginia Are Men
toned as Available for the
Board of Directors.
CBy Charles Brooks Smith.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April o.
The names of two West Virginians
have thus far been mentioned as
available for the board of directors
of the new regional reserve bank at
Richmond They are Edward Mann.
of Bluefield, and Il. NJ. Gilkeson, of
Parkersburg, the former head of a
national bank and the latter the
president ia state bank. Mr.. Mann
is a brother OF Isaac L. Mann, ana is
closely in touch with the conduct
and management of the string OF
Mann banks in southern West Virgin
ia. He is an experienced and
thorough going banker, and a fnan-
cier on large scale who has had
many years of successful experience.
The bankers of West Virginia, ex-
cepting a small number of the south
ern part of the state near the Virgin
ia line, are not pleased with the Sc
lection of Richmond as one of the
twelve reserve centers, but they are
making no concerted or vigorous pro-
test, nor is 1t understood that they
will. They probably count such a
thing of little avail, and will make
the best of their disappointment as
well as the new conditions in bust
ness which the choice of Richmond
imposes upon them.
