ing Information.

ton with an open mind.
During a conference which lasted an
hour today the president and secretary
of state carefully considered such in
formation as had been received. While
no announcement regarding the confer
ence was made 1t was known that the
president will adhere to his position OF
taking no action of any sort until the
full facts are before him.
Haste ~ Urged.
During the day the State department
sent additional instructions TO its repre-
sentatives abroad urging haste in the
gathering of information. Secretary
Lansing made 1t clear tNat the depart
ment had received nothing which would
tend to establish two most essential
points, namely. whether n torpedo sank
the Persia and. II so. the nationality OF
the submarine which fired 1t.
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tions will begin consideration of tho
situation Friday. Chairman Stone having
called the meeting today. Members OF
the committee generally agreed tonight
that the relations of the United States
with the 1eutonic nations would he freely
discussed. The majority OF the commit
tee is understood to look with favor upon
the determination OF the administration
to proceed with the utmost caution

Late today Secretary Lansing sent TO
the committee an accumulation OF infor-
nation bearing upon the attitude OF
Great Britain toward neutral shipping

Smith and information regarding the
negotiations with Germany over the sub
marine warfare requested in an amend
ment offered by Senator Lodge. 1t was
reported also that all information regard
ing the sinking of the Persia thus far
had been communicated TO the commit
tee. Members, however declined to
divulgc the exact nature of the documents
received from the State department or

COMPTROLLER ASKS
FOR LIST OF LOANS.
q. S. Banking Department Seeks to
Know if State Usury Laws
Are Being Violated.
OTHER UNUSUAL QUESTIONS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The
comptroller Of the currency today is
sued a call to all national banks re
quiring them to report to him their
condition at the close of business on
Friday, December 81.
In today's call the comptroller
goes further than at any previous
time to learn If money is being
loaned by national banks in viola
ton of state usury laws. He asks
for a list of loans by all banks dur
ing 1915, upon which interest was
charged or collected, either in the
shape Of interest, discount or COM
mission. at rates which would
amount to more than the equivalent
of 6 per cent per annum."
Banks are cautioned says the call,
ito prepare this statement with care and
accuracy. II errors or DISCREPANCIES
should be discovered. which may seem
to make It necessary to verify the re-
ports sumbitted by all banks, the bank
examiners will be given instructions ac-
cordngly"
The call also asks banks to state
whether IT is their custom to require
borrowers to carry deposits when loans
are granted, how much they are now
loaning to non-depositors, and how much
is loaned and not secured by collateral.
The aggregate of amounts which bor-
rowers have refused to pay banks because
Of alleged usury is asked, and also the
total payments made by banks as penal
ties for usury The call asks for complete
information as to liabilities. salaries and
connections of officers and directors OF
banks.

DEMAND FOR SHADE TREES
massachusetts Journal Recognizes the
Value of Proper Adornment of the
citys Streets.

A real good hot summer day brings
home to Bridgeport the shame of
shadeless streets. In this case it is a
burning shame. and no mistake We
wonder what administration will deyel-
op the foresight and public spirit to
take the steps necessary at the present
for the assuring of shade trees for the
future?
Shade trees add to the value Of prop
erty They help to keep the city cool
in summer. They conserve public
health and comfort. They please the
eye and are one of the greatest fac
tors in the Identification Of city.
People have an instructive appreeia-
ton of trees-all the world knows that
New Haven is a city of elms aud the
most famous street in Germany is TN
ter den Linden" Poets have rhapso-
died over trees. and Handel wrote his
famous Largo" in celebration Of a
plain tree. which afforded grateful
shade to the composer. And the prac-
teal advantages of trees are equal 10
the esthetic advantages. But it IS I'M
necessary to cite these facts, because
practically everybody agrees. What
Is needed is the taking of definite steps
to assure shade trees in the future and
to counterfeit the lack of such a provi-
sion in the past.-Bridgepor (Mass)

Wild Rose tHedoe

ranging all the way from very pale to

IDENTIFY there are great many varie-
ties among wild roses. There is n
fixed belief that wild roses will not
stand being picked. The writer one
Sunday morning attended church in
Minneapolis, where wild roses were
twined in great profusion about the
pillars and balconies of the church.
They were there by the thousands and
had been there for many hours. They
retained their freshness throughout
the day. The secret of their retaining
freshness was that they had been
gathered very early in the morning be-
fore sunrise and while covered with
dew. Some varieties of wild roses
seem to bloom till very late. The writ
er has picked wild roses as late as
September, and in Cook county, too!

right among the fanatics. I have
learned to keep a score card al
ready.
And such were actually the facts.
To solve the riddle of the customs
frauds Agent Gard was working hard
at the task of becoming a baseball
fan
Two weeks he had devoted to the
docks. During the first of these weeks
he had gone from wharf to wharf and
from man to man. He had asked
many questions which we're but the
commonplaces that any individual
who wanted To get smattering of the
detail of such a business would have
asked. He was received tolerantly
by the old heads of the customs crowd.
Many agents had been TO the docks
ahead of him and most of these had
been experts If they began to get
dangerous, political influence was used
in having them pulled off the job or
money was used in having them fail
to report any wrongdoing But this
youngster who did not know the sim
plest things about the customs service
he was hardly worthy of notice
But during that week Gard had not
expected to become a customs expert.
His plan for getting results was
founded on a different idea. He had
been hunting for man who suited
the purpose of his plan, and had found
i'm III,
the name OF O'Toole, who was one of
the weighers at certain dock in
Brooklyn. He had in the back of his
head all the facts that the special
agent lacked If he could be induced
to cooperate, the case might be
worked out.
O'Toole was man of fifty, and had
been Weigher for eleven years.
Gard had learned many things about
him. He had no family. his great en-
thusiasm was baseball, and his weak
ness was a certainty OF going to the
mat with John Barleycorn every third
Saturday night He was a lonesome
man, and sour and cynical
How long have you been on this
investigation ?" OToole asked Gard
before the conversation had gone
far
Just this week." said the special
agent.
Have you found anything asked
the weigher.
Not yet, said the special agent.
We'll. if you want your job to
last. don't said the Irishman
They discussed the general points
in the business of weighing eargoes
and the work of the force having
it in charge. But the special agent
had gathered the idea that O'Toole
was not in sympathy with conditions.
that he was not member of the in
ner circle Yet an intelligent man
serving as weigher for eleven years
would know secrets that would be of
interest to the government, and
O'Toole was embittered He should
be cultivated.
The days of the following week the
special agent spent about the docks
dressed as a rough laboring man. The
