BANKSESSIONS
WIND UP IN WAR
WITH WILLIAMS.
Fight lmpends Over Law
Limiting Interest Rates
On Call Loans.
ON TRIP TO BALTIMORE
Delegates Inspect Bay as
Guests Of Fidelity and
Deposit Company.

Winding up what was declared to
be its most successful and impor-
tant meeting of years, the American
Bankers Association brought its
convention to a close yesterday.
Several thousand delegates left yes
terday morning on four special
trains, to be the guests of the FL
deity and Deposit Company of Balti-
more, Md, in an inspection of the
harbor there and a visit to An
napolis.
While, contrary to expectations,
there was no echo yesterday among
the bankers of the serious clash be-
tween the association and John
SHELTON Williams, Comptroller OF
the Currency, over the latter's
charges of extortion. it became
known that a determined fight will
be made in the next session of Con-
gress to amend the Federal Reserve
act in such a way that 1t will limit
the rates OF interest that can be
charged by banks on call loans.
No Legal Limit Now.
1t was stated by officials of the
Federal Reserve that since call
loans are not subject to present
laws governing usury banks are
able to charge practically any rate
they can get.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Owen, author of the Federal Re-
serve act, at the last session of Con-
gress to limit the interest on call
loans. but it was not reported from
the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency.
Bankers admit the truth of Comp
troller williams statement that
rates as high as 80 per cent have
been exacted for call money, but as
sert that 1t is legitimate.
During great financial panics in
this country. they point out, call
rates of one hundred to a hundred
and fifty per cent have been charged.
In the panic Of 1907 the rate rose
almost overnight from five to fifty
per cent Several great fortunes
amassed by New York finanCiers are
declared to represent profits of lend
ing money on call.
bankers Are Incenscd.
In any event the war now is In
the open. ii was said. and the bank
ers are leaving thoroughly tncensed
bv the charges Of the Comptroller,
which they say are unwarranted. un-
wise and calculated to work great
harm to the country.
When the four specials, bearing
the party from Washington. arrived
at locust Point. Md. yesterday, the
visitors boarded the steamers Louise
and DreamIand, which were escorted
down the bay by the destroyer Trap
mel. two submarines. and six sea
planes.
The. party was met at the Naval
Academy by Capt. W. T. Cluverius,
L S N. Acting Superintendent. with
Commander Abbott. and shown
through the buildings anG. grounds.
Many Distin guished Guests.
The visitors included such men as
John W. Davis. Ambassador to Eng
land: Richard S. Hawes, retiring
president of the 4. b. A; Gov. Ed
ward l. Edwards Of New Jersey; Ed
gar J. MarstOn. Of New York. and
President Daniel Willard, of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
The guests returned last night on
the two steamers to Baltimore. Those
from Washington boarded their spe-
Cial Pullmans Immediately while the
New Workers returned home in their
special train at midnight.

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON
OUR WISE CHOOSING

Forbes Magazine, (New York;
All success in life, all business suc-
cess depends upon wise choosing.
Failure is the result of choosing
unwisely.
Life is one continuous series Of
choosings, decisions.
When we start going to school we
have to choose whether we shall ap-
ply ourselves diligently to our studies
or dodge them.
When we start work we have to
choose whether we shall make it our
first consideration and apply our
whole selves to it, or whether we
shall treat it Is secondary to having
a good time"
In III youth we have to choose
between giving rein to our appetites
or keeping them under control.
Every human being is early con-
fronted with the problem Of choosing
what line, or mode, Of life to adopt.
Does it not seem to you, on re-
Election, that the reason why we make
SO many poor choices is that we do
not attach adequate Importance to
each choice we male?
Do we often tell ourselves that it
is enIlTely "nelneT we
choose one course or another?
Life can be likened to a mosaic.
Each particle is small, but whether
the whole mosaic is a masterpiece or
a hideous mo%nstrosity or merely med
iocre depends upon whether it's
builder chose each particle wisely or
unwisely.
You and I are mosaic workers.
Each day wefhave to choose a GER
tain number of particles to be fitted
into the framework Of our lives.
Although we may not fully realize
it, the beauty or the ugliness Of the
product depends on the choice we
daily make Of the kind Of particles
we use.
Our choices are actuated by what
we are, by what we have stored IN
u heads, by what we have in our
hearts, by how we have disciplined
our bodies, by how we have shaped
u ambitions.
Our choices in short, reflect our
selves.
To make right choices we must
strive to make ourselves right.
