In 1903 Mr.. West was connected
with the Citizens Bank, enjoying a
large acquaintance. when the fact be-
came apparent to him that that in

End Bank.
W. NJ Selby, ]. W. Williams, both
still with the American National, and
f. B. Olds, now with the Union Trust
Company, and Mr.. West controlled

1t was Mr.. West who suggested to
r. N. Harper. William Linn and Will
liam Saunders that they organize the
american National Bank with the
four employees named as the nucleus
Of the Office force.
1t is admitted that the quartette
brought a large amount of deposits

MARKET SOFT EARLY,
WITH GOOD REBOUND

NEW YORK, September 11.-An-
rouncement of the proposed strike OF
steel workers caused heavy selling
and violent declines among leading
industrials at the opening of today's
stock market.
Trading in United States Steel was
so exciting and confusing that the
first quotation for that stock did not
appear until 1915 o'clock.
Steel common opened with block
of 10000 shares at 101 to 1924, fol-
lowed by smaller offerings at 1929
and 1925, as compared with Tuesday
final price of 1851.
Crucible Steel made an initial de-
almost s and Republic Iron 4.
Other active stocks. including Mext-
can Petroleum and similar speculative
favorites. opened at reactions of 2
to points.
Good Recoveries Made.
There were vigorous rallies in the
first hour. Substantial support was
shown at the lower levels, after which
the market settled down to compare
tive dullness.
United States Steel rallied two
points. Bethlehem four, Crucible six
and Mexican Petroleum five. In few
cases, notably Baldwin Locomotive,
United States Rubber and American
losses to nominal proportions.
Baldwin Locomotive made full re-
covery and an actual gain of 10 points.
Other equipments firm.
Prices at 1880 am. today were: 8.
1894; first As. 94.S4; second As, 1902;
third 4As. $500: fourth AIS. 1920;

Iowa Stockman Gives Views.

announced that farmers are abso-
lutely opposed to anything that savors
OF government regulation and license"
Stockmen.' he asserted, were refusing
to carry on their usual feeding of cat
tie because of doubt produced by the
legislation aimed at the packers.
Don't you think that the great
packers have built up their power to
the point where they can control
prices?' Senator Harrison, democrat,
of Mississippi asked.
L think they can, to a certain ex-
tent" Hoskins said
We'll. don't you think the govern
ment should have power to regulate
them in the interests of the pro-
ducers?" Senator Harrison continued.
Yes, but 1 don't think these bills
would accomplish that result" Hos

Stock Market Jolted.

The morning papers of this date
were not pleasant reading u the
thousands of spectators in Wall
street securities. scattered from one
section of the country to the other.
Brokers and investors found matter
that was hard to digest to their per-
sonal comfort, as labor trouble was
printed all over first pages in appar-
ent confirmation of the uneasy and
unsettled position which close observ-
ers of conditions have recognized and
realised every day during the year
to date as almost a certainty OF the
future.
The calling of the steel strike was
the surprising jar. but the condition
in Boston. the action of miners In
West Virginia in demanding a five
day week and shorter hours with
more pay. helped along the unfavor-
able sentiment, but the outlook for
an outpouring of steelworkers from
independent and yielding Plants as
well as from the United States Steel
Corporation, with the realization
of the possibilities of the sympathetic
strike made the day very uncomfort-
able.

Mr.. lansing told viEcOunt Ishif
that the United States did not

self in the western hemisphere,
but sought to prevent others from
interfering in the self develop

Senator A 3. FAN dissented from
this Interpretation. Senator John
Sharp Williams got into a historical

ator and everybody Joined in. Finally
chairman Lodge had to rap for order
and senator ". z. Borah remarked
with a smile that there had not been
any misunderstanding about the Mon
roe doctrine up to six months ago.
Secretary Lansing could not help
tossing a little observation that the
senators themselves seemed to be at
odds at what II meant The discus
sion was academic, to be sure, but
the revelation Of what Japan said
to the United States and what secre-
tary Lansing said to the Japanese
mission will prove an interesting con-
trihution to the relations between the
two countries. for secretary Lansing's
testimony becomes a matter OF public
record.
To that extent the senate foreign
relations committee has accomplished
something constructive in the diplo-
macy involving far eastern problems.
