AMERICAS FIRST BANK

The pioneer Bank of the United
States was established 127 years ago
today as part of the general scheme
for support of public credit. Alex
ander Hamilton, first secretary of the
treasury, was the originator of the
plan. The plan failed, and since then
scores of other schemes have been
tried, with more or less success, to
put banking on a sound basis in the
United States. The early history of
the state banks was an unsavory one.
The charters were often fraudulently
obtained, and currency issued to
three times the amount of their CAPT
tai. Many of these banks suspended
during the panic of 1914 and others
in 1887 and 1857. Fifty-five years
ago today the national banking system
of the United States was organized,
and various laws have since been
passed in relation to the institutions
created under this act. There are to-
day about 1900 national banks IN
the United States. Their capital is
in round numbers, about $500, 000,-
900, while they have individual de-
posts of over $4,000, 100000.

DIR. CADY GIVES
INSPIRING TALK

In the absence of DR.. William
Horace Day, pastor of the United
Church, who is doing war work in
cantonments, DR.. George L. Cady of
New York, delivered an inspiring ser
mon on Making Democracy Safe for
the World" He said in part: 1--WE
are in the midst of the darkest time
that the cause of the Cause has seen
since 1914 or at least since the Ger
man forces were turned back at the
Marine and we must not falter even
though Germany, contrary to her
claims that she is carrying on war
of defense, is rushing with that army
of hers over that defenseless people
and in demanding that one thing
which we have known from the be-
ginning was her one cause for the
war-her Unsuitable greed for territory
and indemnities."

FIREMEN AID THE
LODGERS' ESCAPE

A fire endangering the lives of Is
persons and doing damage estimated
at $1,000 was discovered shortly before
noon yesterday at All Seaview avenue.
The blaze, which started in the cellar,
was caused by an overheated furnace.
The prompt arrival of the fire fighters
and apparatus held the loss to the
minimum and saved the inmates of
the building who had become panic
stricken when their avenues of re-
treat were cut off by dense volumes
of smoke.
Upon the arrival of the firemen in
charge of Captain Holden it was dis
covered that all the windows of the
house were crowded with dodgers who
were in a state of panic. One man
became so scared he jumped from a
window into the back yard, but sus-
tanned no injury. The others were
carried down ladders or over roofs by
the fire fighters to places of safety.
The house, valued at $500, is owned
by G. G. Berein and occupied on the
first floor by Mrs. Charles James while
the second floor is occupied by Erwin
Schree.

SUDDEN DEATH OF.
CLERK HAvILAND
SHOCKS FRIENDS
Profound Sorrow Caused by
Passing of Well Known
Court Clerk.
CAUGHT SEVERE COLD
A FEW WEEKS AGO
Funeral Will Be Held To
morrow Afternoon in Read
Memorial Chapel.

Death came unexpectedly Saturday
night to William Thorne Hayiland.
for many years clerk of the Superior
Court and one of the best known
members of the bar in Fairfield
county. News of the death caused
great surprise and profound sorrow
among the members of the legal pro-
fession.
Mr.. Haviland caught cold during
the severe weather of a few weeks
ago, but remained at his desk in the
County building until about a week
ago. He then remained at his home,
Sc BrooklaWn avenue, pneumonia de-
veloping last Tuesday. Even then it
was not believed his condition was
dangerous, but the disease progress
ed, and weakened by his struggle
against it Mr.. Haviland passed away
Saturday evening.
William Thorne HaviIand was born
in Litchfield, March 20, 1856, son of
Isaac and Mary Haviland, but his
parents brought him to Bridgeport
while he was still a child. He attend
ed the public schools of the city, en-
tered Yale University, graduating in
the class of 1880, and from the Yale
Law school in 1882. He first became
connected with the law firm of Stod-
dard & Hall, and when the latter was
made a judge of the Superior Court
entered the firm of Stoddard, Bishop
& Haviland.
Haviland was appointed clerk of
the Common Pleas Court in 1891 and
an assistant clerk of the Superior
Court. He retained these positions
until 1908, when upon the death of
William R. Shelton he was advanced
to clerk of the Superior Court, and
held that position at the time of his
death.
He was married in 1902 to Mrs.
Pauline Swords Stevenson, of South
Norwalk, and Mrs. Haviland survives,
with two children, Paul and Louise.
An older son. Talmadge Downs, was
killed in an automobile accident sew
eral years ago.
Mr.. Haviland was secretary of the
| Bridgeport Public Library Board for
many years, had been president of the
| Bridgeport Bar Association in 1917,
! and secretary of the Law Library
Association until a short time ago.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Haviland stood
high in the profession but of recent
years had not practiced to any great
extent. He was considered the most
efficient court clerk in the state. In
character he was kindly, genial, ever
ready to accommodate, and endeared
himself to all who had business in
the office Of the court clerks.
In social life Mr.. Havi1and was
prominent, and he was a member of
the Brooklawn Country club from its
organization, and of the Home Guard,
