BANKERS AGAINST
CLEARING CHARGES
A. Barton Hepburn Says EX-
pense Should Be Met by
Drawer of Check.

New York national bankers recently
have strongly urged upon the Federal
Reserve Board the need of general
regulations governing the clearance OF
checks which Will not place upon the
stockholding banks in the reserve sys-
tenn any expense attached to free col
lections. The importance OF rules OF
this character was emphasized yester-
day by A. Barton Hepburn, chairman
of the Chase National Bank, whose ad-
vice has been sought by members OF
the Reserve Board.
THE Federal Reserve Board can rem
der a great service TO the country,
said Mr.. Hepburn. "by providing set
Of regulations for facilitating domestic
exchanges, but the expense attached
thereto should rest on the man who
draws the check and not upon the bank
on which the check is drawn.
"For instance. customer of bank
in Arizona who draws a check on a
bank in that state for tho purpose OF
paving a bill in Boston should bear
the expense caused by the transmits
sion of the draft. loss Of interest, etc.
His check is not worth par after II
reaches Boston for this reason, and ne
is the one that should make up the de-
iiciency."
A. the result Of conferences be-
tween Governor Strong and members
Of the Federal Reserve Board in Wash
ington this week it is understood that
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
will soon be in a position to put into
effect a check clearance plan for the
benefit Of as many of the $50 national
banks in the state as indicate Will
ingness 10 participate IN the arrange
ment. The announcement of the Fed
eral Reserve Board that each OF the
twelve regional institutions - to de-
wise a plan Of its own will expedite
matters, for the reason that the Ne"
York bank will not have TO wait for
action by the other reserve banks.
The plan which was tentatively
adopted for this district in its main
features provides that the banks APP
proving il shall receive immediate cred
it and immediate charge for all chec'
items that come into the Federal Re
serve Bank; that checks IN transit shall
be taken care of by deposit with the
reserve bank of sufficient funds "a
cover these items III addition to the
regular legal reserve money; that the
determination of the amount of ex'
cess deposits shall be based on ex'
perience, monthly average being
taken OF each member banks balance
from the clesrings.
A meeting of the governors Of the
twelve reserve banks will be held in
Washington on March II to approve
the regulations now in the hands OF
the Federal Reserve Board. Officials
OF the local institution have put II II

vide for the additional duties tailed

The Tribune that he had sold chicAe 4

the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital

Street Hospital and that that com
prised his hospital experience and that
he never had any diseases of the lungs

He added that he did study consump-
ton with some Health Department
doctors, which statement TINS DEFEND
ant alleges TO be false. and the PLAN
tiff admitted that he could not re-
member the names Of such doctors.
False Testimonials.
The answer alleges that the great
injury which the plainti land other
like Quack medicine vendors have been
and are doing to the public interests
is not so much the injurious effects
Of the drugs contained IN his and
their proprietary medicines az in the
effect which their advertisements and

perts Of the profession. ne ad-
vertisements publicly issued by the
plaintiff we're well calculated so to ms
lead the credulous sufferers from con-
sumption.
The answer then takes. up various
forms of the "PulmonOl" advertise
ments respecting the remedial quail
ities Of "Pulmonol" in cases OF con
sumption. and alleges that the pIaintlii,
knew that such claims were false ana
that he did not effect such cures oy
means Of his medicine. 1t also setS
forth number of instances IN when
the persons who are advertised as GER
tifying TO the curative qualities OF the
medicine have repudiated such state
ments. Among others was Dr. W Imam
Fletcher Stone. who declared that he
was convinced that "Pulmono" was =
fraud and that if it had any effect O.
natients II was harmful; also the Res.
Father Nallov. of the Church OF Our
Iadv of Lourdes, Brooklyn, who de-
clsred that he knew nothing OF the
remedy and had not authorized the
publication of his name.
The answer concludes with the plea
that the publication sued upon was
privileged: that it was published WIN
out malice, in good faith and IN the
public interest. and that there was not
only reasonable and probable cause for
believing all that was published about
nlaiotif to be true. but also that there
was proper occasion for the publlca-
ton of it. The defendant demands
judgment that the complaint be DIS
missed, with costs.

Gardner. the titleholder, to his credit
appeared overcontident in the carrier
stages of the game. Reckless shooting
by the Chicago player. combined with
good safety play by Huston, enabled
the latter 10 keep in the lead Tor thlr-
ty-three innings. A..
Lord made his first big run in the
twentv-first inning. when after making
an exceedingly difficult masse on ms
third shot, he got the balls together
and by ca. full nursing brought his
score for the inning up to so. He gave
a prea. exhibition of position play IN
th' twenty-sixth with run OF 40, and
forged ahead for the first time. the
score being 1863 to 100. Huston, how
ever. gathered 10 in his half OF the
inning and retained the lead.
Defensive play by both contestants
prevented much further scoring until
the thirty-seventh inning, when Lord
used the balkline nurse shot to ad
vantage and ran 80. He then made
runs Of 80 and q. which gave him,
lead which he maintained until the
ffty-fourth inAing. when he completed
his 400 with an unfinished run Of Il
