But what seemed moro sad even than the

shahbiness Of their clothes together with
the drawn and haggard expression OF their

hopelessncss which seemed TO surround
all Of them
As early az 70 80 O'Clock. an hour and

began to turn into First street from the
Bowery and take their places in line An
hour later there were all Of 1900 men aud
women waiting. ana at O'Clock that
number had increased to 1000.
II is perhaps significant that there has
never been any roughness or rowdyism in
the long line. Yesterday that line began
at the door Of No and extended across
the street into a blind alley called Extra

RICHARDS NOT TO ASK
CHANGE IN BANK LAW
New Measure, lie Says. Strength
ems Financial Condition
Of state.

ALBANY. Jan. 6.--The banking law en-
acted by the last Legislature should not
be amended in any material essentials at
this time. is the opinion of Eugene Lamb
Richards. Superintendent of Banks In
his annual report, submitted to the Legs
lature to-day, he says that the new law
represents a great advance In banking
legislation and has been Of inestimable
value in strengthening the financial con-
dition Of New York state.
Just before assumed office" says the
report, the revision Of the banking law
prepared by commission appointed by
ex-Supt. George c. Van Tuyl, Jr, went
into effect. The commission was com
posed OF some OF the most prominent
bankers of the state. attorneys with large
experience in banking law. representatives
of business and manufacturing interests.
and theoretical students Of the principles
of finance. II was the endedvor to adapt
the banking law to present financial and
business conditions.
Among its most salient features ar"
the extension OF the jurisdiction Of tine
Superintendent Of Banks. resulting from
the fact that the statute is made appli-
cable not only to corporations and IN
diviIuals voluntarily submitting them
selves to il generally. but to all cor
porations and individuals who subject
themselves to special provisions OF II
or who, - violating its provisions, be.
come subject to its penalties.
al is already evident. however. that
II does represent a great advance In
banking legislation and 1t has been of
inestimable value in strengthening the
financial system Of the state during the
crisis through which We are now passing

not attempt TO solve the problems in

PARIS SEEKING A LOAN HERE.
Municipality Hopes to Obtain Large
sum, but Not for War.

II was learned yesterday that the city
OF Paris has been making inquiries In
international banking circles az to whether
II would be possible to obtain n large
loan here. Agents OF the city have thus
far met with little success in their ef-
forts. Bankers say that conditions in
France and in the financial world In gem
oral are not such as TO warrant a loan
for any city in the belligerent countries
on satisfactory terms.
In any event the loan will not he a war
loan, but merely city loan, just as New
York might wish TO obtain financial sc-
commodation abroad.
