Banking Power of the
United States at
Dover Gathering
Delivers Able Address Before Dongs Investment Company
George L. MediI Gives Brief Summary Also OF State
Resources and Shows Bank Deposits in
the Three Counties

George L. Medill, delivered be-
fore a meeting of the Dollings In
vestment Co. of Dover last week
an able address on "The Banking
Power of the United States"
Mr.. Medill, although a young
man is an authority on banking
affairs, a fact which was recogniz-
ed by his recent appointment as
Bank Examiner for the state.
The address in part follows:
Banking exercises a powerful
influence upon the morals of So
ciety. 1t tends to produce honesty
and punctuality in pecuniary en-
gagements. Bankers, for their
own interest, always have a rigid
regard to the moral character OF
the party with whom they deal;
they inquire whether he be honest
or tricky, industrious or idle, pru-
dent or speculative, thrifty or
prodigal, and they will more readl-
ly make advances to a man of mod
crate property and good morals
than to a man of large property
but of inferior reputation. Thus
the establishment of bank in any
place Immediately advances the
pecuniary value of good moral
character.
If the test of deservedness be
made too acid, and the pessimism
born of experience is. not tempered
by the optimism of hope and i'm,
agination, the banker will fall
short of the full duty which his
opportunities impose. 1t is the
gift of imagination and the quality
of constructive optimism that diff
ferentiate the banker from thu
money lender, and the greatness
and influence of the late Pierpon
Morgan lay chiefly in his abilit,
to visualize the picture of the flu
ture upon the canvas of the pres
ent, and in his helpful belief i
his fellow-men and his. country.
Banking Power Of The United
States
"Regarding the banking powe
of the United States, includin
both national and state institl
tions, Comptroller Williams says.
Our country has now becon
the worlds banker, and virtual
all the nations on earth, large an
small, are looking for credit
aid, of one kind or another, fro
us. We hold about one third
more of the worlds supply of go
coin and bullion, according to tt
best available estimates, and tt
rest of the world owes to our Go
ernment and to our business MT
at this time, an amount represer
ed by Government and other OBJ
cations equal to more than twi
the total stock of gold in all 9th
countries of the world, and wi
the balance of trade rolling up
our favor hundreds of millions
dollars month by month.

broiled whole. Salmon and hall
but should be cut in slices for
broiling. Smells and other small
fish should be broiledl whole with
out splitting.
Baked Fish
Bake on a creased fish sheet, or
if YOU have not a fish sheet, two
strips of muslin placed under the
fish will answer the purpose. This
will enable you to lift the fish
from the pan when baked without
breaking it.
Panned Fish
This method of cooking is suit
able for any small fish or such as
can be cut in slices. Have the
fish we'll cleaned, seasoned with
pepper and salt and dried with a
little -four, or, better STILL, very
fine bread-crumbs. Have large
frying-pan smoking hot with as
! little grease in it as will keep the
fish from sticking. Dripping!
from good, sweet salt pork is thu
). best, but any sweet drippings viii
| do. When the fat begins to smok

or crumbs, and fry in deep fat.
Saute Fish-Prepare your fish |
as for frying and cook in frying
pan with small amount of fat. Cod
steaks and smelts should be cook
ed in this way.
Salt Fish
Very salt fish should be soaked
several hours in three or four
changes of warm water. Place
the skin side up, so that salt crys-
tails may fall away from the under
or meat side. Wipe carefully and
clean, then soak for an hour in
very cold water.
Beef and Fish Hash
Chop finely three-quarters of
cupful of cooked fish and add an
equal quantity of chopped cooked
potatoes, two chopped cooked
beets, a slice of minced onion and
a tablespoonful of minced parsley.
Season with half a teaspoonful of
salt, a quarter Of a teaspoonful of
paprika and a teaspoon full of
Worcestershire sauce. Mix we'll,
moisten with a little thick cream
and turn into a hot frying pan
containing a tablespoonful of hot
pork fat. Turn the hash rapidly
until it is heated through, then pat
into cake and let it brown on the
under side.
Jellied Chicken
Draw, pick and wash a chicken
cover with warm water and sim
mer until the meat slips from thu
bones and there remains of tht
water about a coffee cup full. Lif
out the meat, and cut or shred int,
good sized pieces, throwing out al
; fat, bone and gristle. Skim tn
fat from the liquor, add peppe
and salt to season very highly
e then bring to a boil with half a.
ounce of gelatine, which has bee,

 POLICE FORGE

IA school in which members of the local police force will be instructed as to what constitutes their duties, will be started in the near future. This step was decided upon at last nights meeting of the Board Of Poe1re Com m1Ssdoners, atfer a recommendation in favor of the plan had been submit ted by Acting Superintendent Charles A. SI1cl1iey. The classes will be short in duration, and will be held fre- quently. It is hoped that this system will do much towards increasing the efficiency of the department

THREE CASES ARE NOLLED WITH BUT
 ONE CONVICTION
Continued from Page one.)

(Continued from Page One.) Judge Frederic A. Bartlett that there was not enough evidence to convict any of the men. All three cases were promptly noned.
 George Guardiola, who was also ar rested as the keeper of a disorderly house at 372 State street, appeared in court today, but his case was con- tinued until Tuesday.
 The Burns operatives had no hand in the arrest of any of the principals who were arraigned today. Local po- lice made all of the arrests and the cases were disposed of on the testi- mony of the policemen. All of the cases, however, resulted from the raids of April IT.
 Only four cases remain to be dis posed of in the City Court at the ports, the Burns operatives as yet have failed to produce any evidence showing the existence of a vice trust in this city, or that the local police have secured any graft from the a1- legged ring
 James N. Neenan, one of the Burns chiefs, who has been very active in the vice crusade in Bridgeport, said this morning in reply to a. query on the alleged graft charges, that he had never made any statements relative to the local police receiving money from a, vice trust
 The Burns man admitted this morn ing that the cases seem to be dying out in the City court, but quoted the old aDdage that there is always 8 calm before the storm This might be taken an indication that the New Workers have not yet played their final card.
 Tuesday will see the disposition ot the last four eases resulting from the | raid. Ffoty Demetri, charged with keeping a disorderly house at the corner of South avenue and Lafayette l street, George Guardiola, charged with keeping a disorderIy house at 37z State street, George Brandt, charged with being the keeper of a. gambling establishment in the Walters club in Main strete, and Mary Wilson charged with Q, technical offense, conn., pose the quartet which is yet to be ar raigned- It was said today that the case of the Wilson girl is practically ended. She was held principally as a states witness, and her testimony, none of which was as startling as ex- pected, has reached a conclusion. The girl will probably be arraigned as ar ineorrigibIe.

 New York, May Tine dawn of May Day found many cities in the East under strong police and military guard in anticipation of possible acts of violence by radicals.
 In New York City where William J. Flynn, chief of the Bureau of In vestigation of the Department of Jus tice directed operations, the entire police force of 11,000 men was on duty; soldiers at Governors Island were armed with 100 rounds of am munition and held in readiness for instant duty; arrangements were made to mobilize the New York state guard in case of necessity, and a hun dred posts of the American Legion agreed to report at police stations should an emergency arise.
 All public buildings here were closely protected and guards were stationed at railway terminals, ] bridges and the homes of prominent men. Detectives were perched on 1 the roofs of skyscrapers. Department of Justice agents swarmed through | certain sections of the city where rad ! icaI agitators are known to have | their haunts. One hundred meetings 1 of radicals were to be held here dur

 Chicago, May 1.---Federal, state and city authorities in the central and western states today were prepared to stamp out any possible threats of disturbances in connection with the observance of May Day.

 Scores of suspects were sent away from Chicago, the police said, when it was found they had criminal rec 1 ords, but there was not sufficient evi-
 dence to hold them. One thousand policemen in civilian clothes patrolled Chicago streets on guard for possible i radical outbreaks and guards were established about public buildings.

 contracts. No permits for parades ir
