REPLY MADE TO
WALSH COMMITTEE
National City Bank Pamphlet
Upholds Existing Economic
Order of Things.

A reply TO the bitter denunciation %
the Rockefeller Fund and other capt.
talistic institutions made by the Walsh
committee is made in the pamphlet for
this month Of the National City Bank.
"The burden of most Of the attacks
upon the existing order is that vast
wealth is being accumulated in the
hands of few" says the pamphlet
from which it is assumed nobody but
the owners receive any benefit. Now,
to begin with, the wealth Of the United
States is not in the hands of few.
The lands Of the United States are not
in the hands of a few; the ownership
is widely distributed In the second
place. it is extremely superficial 10 as
sumo that nobody receives any benefit
from wealth unless he has an owners
interest in il. This is where most OF
the critics 90 astray. They talk and
write as though they thought nobody
derived any benefit from the existence
of railways unless he owned stock in
them; or any benefit from the SS,0OO,-
100000 Of investments based upon the
use of electricity unless he owned stock
in some Of the electrical companies; or
any benefit from all the power plants
that are daily working for the produc-
lion OF goods unless he owned an in
terest in them upon which he received
dividends. Such short-sighted assump-
tons sound like supreme folly, but q
great many apparently intelligent peo-
pie. some of them graduates OF unlver-
stiles, some of them teachers in uni
versities, and even authors Of books
upon the subject and official investiga-
tors. are guilty of them.

Anna married that man against her

twenty years old; he is thirty. Both
were born in Campanarello, Italy, and
there their parents agreed that their
oldest children should wed.
"She is a clever, refined girl. When
she came to this country with her
mother and sisters she studied. She
became a nurse and graduated from
the St. Francis Hospital az Hartford.

"Anna's mother wanted her to marry
Garcia. He has some money. It was
fear of those at home that led her to
have this ceremony performed. She
hates him"
Alderman Quinn was indignant.
"This is an outrage" he declared
"This marriage should never have been
permitted When I read that part Of
the ceremony that says, If any person
present can show just cause why these
parties should not be joined together

AUGUST FAILURES
SHOW RECOVERY

That the weak spots in the general
situation are steadily being eliminated
is shown by the fact that the countTy's
business mortality in August made a
relatively hetyer exhibit Than ~ the
same period of any recent year. Com
mercial failures are still above the ay-
erage. but last month there were 344
fewer defaults thar in July. Total in
solvencies for the latest month, as re-
ported by r. G. Dun & Co., numbered
1916. and supplied an indebtedness OF

WIFE LETS EX-AIR
LORD PINE In JAIL

Cell No. 10, Ludlow Street Jail, has a
new occupant to-day in the person Of
William B. Atwater, aviator, wearer Of
the order of the Rising Sun, and
fourth husband of Mrs. Lillian Thomp-
son Janeway Plat Atwater. widow Of
Senator Thomas c. Plat.
Atwater went to his cell martyr.
He had failed to comply with the Fed
eral Court order TO pay his trustee in
bankruptcy, Jacob A. Decker, $4,000.
When arrested he had a fraction less
than one-thousandth of that sum. Mrs.
Atwater wouldn't come to his aid be-
cause she thought the referee ruling
unfair.
Not even the pleasant company at
the jail or pinochle game would con-
sole Atwater. Being an aviator, he felt
the loss of his freedom keenly. He
appealed to his wife yesterday and she
answered that she couldn't think Of
supplying him with money, but babe
him be brave.
When. on August Of, Judge Mayer, in
the Federal District Court, decided that
Atwater's plea that the fortune he was
supposed to have was only a "fabrica-
ton of the brain of lot of rubes,"
he characterized Atwater's testimony
about his assets as defiant, unsatis-
factory and not worthy of belief"
Atwater pleaded that his wife sup
piled him with spending money, but
the Judge recalled the time when At
water was said TO have displayed q
stack of bills worth $4,000.
The $4,000 was supposed to be the re-
mains of the proceeds of trip At
water made around the world in 1912,
when he gave more than $50 exhibition
Fights. lie blamed all his troubles on
the village gossips VINO said ne made
$4,000 by his trip and displayed the
$4,000 roll. Instead of cleaning up
thousands Of dollars on the trip around
the world, Atwater said, it had cost
him $4,000.
