of Central America

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Jan. 2I.-
An extensive program tending toward
the unifaction of interests of the
Central American republics was
dealt with by the annual Central
American republics conference which
was heid mere New Years day under
terms OF treaty signed at Washing
ton, Dec. 20, 1907.
The most important point of the
program was proposal from Mica
ragua that the conference insist that
those governments (which had not yet
done so, approve agreement for free
commerce between the Central
American gorernemnt reached at a
former conference.
Another suggestion was that Central
American governments should put
into practice the agreements which
the conference already have reached.
These agreements were chiefly as
TO uniform systems for money weigh
and measures, eustoms commorc and
consular service.

Concern. Disregarding
Richards.

Action which may result In a clash be-
tween two State departments was taken
Yesterday when State Comptroller Soh-
mer closed the private bank of John
Bozzuffi, a Scillan banker at First ave-
nue. and Sixty-third street. and put II IN
charge OF Irving Fox, supervising exam
iner Of private banks Supreme Court
Justice Weeks made Mr.. Fox custodian
of Bozzuffrs banking business on the ap-
plication OF Attorney General Carmody.
Fox was required to furnish bond of
$50. 900.
All other private banks closed recently
were taken over by Eugene Lamb
Richards, State Superintendent OF Banks.
and his deputies were put in charge.
Several OF the bankers affected opposed
such action on the ground that the law
under which Supt Richards acted was
not yet operative.
The petition on which Supreme Court
Justice Weeks acted yesterday embraced
report by Examiner Fox to the State
Comptroller In which Mr.. Fox said that
BozzufYi had been ordered several times
to sell certain real estate holdings and
provide more capital for the bank, but
he failed to do so. The bank. Fox said,
had deposits OF more than s45,000 and
only $500 cash on hand to pay the de-
positors.
