CLARK Will

Walter Clark, the Philadelphia banker.
who is also treasurer of the tri-city
syndicate for whom the racing sloop
Defiance of the American cup class is
being built at the Bath Iron Works,
will arrive in town tomorrow to pay
his second visit of inspection since
the contract was awarded to the Bath
concern in New York last December.
Heretofore most of the visits of in
spection have been left to George NJ.
Pynchon Of New York, managing di-
rector of the syndicate, but Mr.. Pyn-
chon is now in Hot Springs and Mr..
Clark is coming in his stead.
He will notice quite change in the
progress since his last trip here six
weeks ago, for the Defiance is now all
framed and more than half planked
and If necessity compelled she could be
launched and rugged so that she would
be in readiness to leave the Kennebec
river a month from today. AS it is,
however, no effort will be made to
hurry her more than to have her in
readiness to enter the water on the
original date selected, May II, at 2.15
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Clark will probably be accom-
panied to this city by his son Sidney,
an amateur yachtsman, who has
shown great proficiency in handling
sail boats.

Reasons are Given

Particular attention to this was

choosing Atlanta, Ga, and Dallas,
Texas. in preference to New Orleans,
for selecting Richmond. Va, instead
of Baltimore, and for naming Kansas

said the statement, somebody had to
judge. Congress constituted the COM
mittee a court and gave the Federal
Reserve Board the power of review.
Disappointed competitors should seek

Critics of the decision of the COM
mittee reveal misunderstanding and
either do not know or appear not to
know, that the Federal Reserve banks

matter of fact the ordinary every day

of business men and of banks, will not
be greatly modified or altered.
Every city can continue to do bus
mess with individuals, firms or cor
porations, within its own limits or in
its own region, or in any other part
Of the Union or the world in which
it has sheretofore done business.
Reserves are to be held in a new
way and in new places SOS far as this
act controls them, but banking and
business generally will be more con-
fined within districts than heretofore
and it Is simply misleading for any
city or individual to represent that
the future of a city will be injurious
ly affected by reason of its failure to
secure a federal reserve bank. Every
city which has the foundations for
prosperity and progress will continue
to grow and expand, whether it has
such a reserve bank or not, and well
Informed bankers, especially, are
aware of this"

nying the application of the Chicago

mutually.

"A contract exists" said the decis-
ion, but if broken by either party the
other is remediless because the courts
are helpless to enforce its perform
ance or to award damages for its
breach
Judge Sessions denied the applica-
ton solely because the petitioner did
not come into court with clean hands.
He said the plaintiff knew Killifer
was under moral if not a legal obi
cation to play with the Philadelphia
Club when it induced him to repudi
ate his obligation by offering him a
longer term of employment and much
larger compensation.
I'm so doing, a wilful wrong was
done to the Philadelphia Club which
was none the less grievous and harm
full because the injured party could
not obtain legal redress"
