 The witness testified that he had realized from one to three per cent on millions of dollars of contracts that had passed through his office. This money was paid him for fur nishins insurance against mistakes and the hundred evils surrounding the business" of his clients. he said.
 The witness admitted that a sys- tenn of colored cards was used to notify contractors regarding the status of various bids and the ''in- surance risk" involved

ISSUES WARNING TO BANKERS TO AVOID "FOOL,S PARADISE"
Styles Head of Federal Re- serve Board ''Usurper"
 of Authority

WASHINGTON, Oct 20. While a survey of the financial policies of the government by Secretary Houston drew the attention of delegates today at the general session of the Ameri- can Bankers association convention state bankers, in the section meet ing which followed, brought the ad- ministration of the federal reserve system under free They adopted res olutions ''condemning and deprecating methods employed by the board" in it's relations with state banks which are not members of the reserve system, although the board did not lack de- Ifenders during the discussion.
 Flay Senator Harding
 Indigation against the boards regu- lation compelling the collection of checks and remittances of the face amount at par was freely expressed. Senator Harding was styled ''usurp- CT" of authority and committee was named to seek amendment of the re- serve act so as to guarantee to all bankers the rights and privileges" of flying a charge on the handling of checks drawn on all excepting local banks.
 Speakers declared Governor Harding had employed force and coercion" by forcing the use of the par-clear- ance system, under which many state banks were said to have been compell- ed to enter the reserve system or lose certain classes of business. This was mot only unfair, but without basis in law" it was asserted.
 Entitled to Compensation Charles de B. Clairborne of New Orleans declared the service rendered by the banks in the transfer of checks was legitimate and that the banks were entitled to compensation. He asserted that the arrangement ordered by the reserve board for par-clearance does not make every check worth is nearly always an exchange charge. so the merchants who supports par clearance does not gain anything" If the merchant shave benefited by the system, MT. Claiborne contended, the public ''has not been able to see it reflected in reduced prices"
 Defends Reserve Board
 The reserve boards staunchest de fender was O. H. Wolfe of Philadel- phia, who asserted that abolition of the clearance and remittance charges and establishment of the countrywide , gold setuement saved bankers and commercial interests S135,000,OOO in the year. This amount, he said, would have been exacted as a tax on bus mess had not the board organized a

cox CALLS UPON ROOT
 TO RESCIND IRE MARKS

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Oct 20. - Governor Cox today sent telegram to Elihu Root asking him to "cor- rect" what the Democratic candidate declared was a false" statement in Mir. Roct's address yesterday regard ing the governors position upon the league of nations issue.
 The governor denied Mir. Roots statement that he demands the league just as MT. Wilson negotiat- ed it. and called upon Mir. Root for retraction.
 Makes Telegram Public
 In making public this telegram to Mir. Root. Governor Cox issued a statement declaring that MT. Root and thirty other prominent Republi- cans signing the recent statement in behalf of Senator Harding. were attempting to deceive the voters because they are permitting their partisanship to rise above their pa- triotism and trusting perhaps that the last wobble of Senator Harding may be in their direction
 Governor Cox restated his propos- al to accept any reservations help ful' to the league and contended. therefore, that MT. Root had made a statement which the records show is false"
 Text Of Telegram
 The governors telegram follows: "Elihu Root, New York City:
 T have before me a quotation from your address on the league of nations delivered in New York October IS. which reads:
