LETTER SENT TO BANKS

The following letter is copy Of that
sent to the Vermont banks by Bank Com
missioner George b. Carpenter:
Gentlemen:
For some time past banks, in making
up their statements. have included as
surplus the accrued interest account
which has resulted in several institutions
accommodating a surplus in excess of Il
per cent Of their deposits. Under this
method Of determining surplus many
banks have felt justified in paying in
terest on theii deposits at the rate Of Az
and Az per cent.
I have felt for some time that surplus
accounts should be established and main
tanned in accordance with sections 5429
and 54S7, and that the intent of these
sections is primarily to provide, for the
protection of the deptsitors "a certain
reserved fund, and that it should be
maintained at all times in certain ratio
to deposits as set forth therein.
On account of the Interpretation which
has been given them, however, l have
felt reluctant to make any ruling without
first submitting the question to the at
torney general. This has now been done
and in the opinion rendered he has in
terpreted it to mean that an actual sur
Plus OF ~ per cent OF tne uepOSltS and
Others liabilities, excepting surplus, Is
necessary before a rate exceeding per
cent may be paid on deposits.
These sections, Ji29 relating to savings
banks and 5437 relating to trust COM
panies, provide for the same method of
making reservations to surplus and for
the maintenance of such fund, conse-
quently all State banks are amendable
to the provisions of these sections as in
terpreted by the attorney general, there
fore this fund must be established In
strict accordance with the provisions of
sections 5429 and 5437. and the item Of ac-
crued interest shall not be construed as
any part of surplus nor entered on the
books and statements under any heading
other than undivided profits.
The question has been raised by GER
tain strust companies as to whether they
must accumulate surplus of 10 per cent
of their savings deposits alone, or If the
same ratio of surplus must be held
against commercial and savings. Inas
much as this is fund reserved for the
protection of depositors ] beg to advise
that a surplus of 10 per cent of al
deposits will be required which is, in my
+ Judgment ample though not excessive.

Sleuths Watch Game,
Then Arrest Players

Rapid City, March 29.-Officers.
through the carelessness of gam
bling den proprietor, were able to
walk right into local gambling re-
sort and surprise eight men while
they were engaged in game OF
poker.
The officers entered SO quietly and
the players were SO interested in their
game, that the sleuths were able to
make their way to the backs of the
chairs in which the players were sit
ting, and watched the game for some
minutes before their presence was de-
tected.
Then it was too late to hide the
chips or attempt to make getaway.
SO the game proceeded in silence for
about 10 minutes more, when CHIEF
of Police Gray ordered all hands 70
push their chips into the center Of
the table.
The chips and other gambling de-
vices were seized. The eight men will
have their cases adjusted in court.

GOAL MINERS To
SUSPEND WORK
HEAD OF UNITED NINE WORK.
Frs SAYS MEN WILL STOP
WORK APRIL 1.

Peoria, March 26.-"There will un-
doubtedly be suspension of work in
the coal mines of Illinois April L."
Frank harrington, president of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois, said
here.
Understand it will not be a strike
but an unavoidable suspension of
work. 1t may be for short time OF
long time"
"Our agreement expires at mid
night, March 81" Harrington con-
tinueda II believe it will be i'm
possible to keep the men at work
after that.
1T is possible, of course, that some
sort of an agreement will be reached
at the meeting in New York Monday
to keep the mines running, but even
at that brief suspension of work
will occur"
The feeling of delegates at the con-
vention of the Illinois mine workers
in session here is that the suspension
will be of long, rather than brief, du-
ration.
Rev. r. H. Gleason, American Le
gion chaplain, spoke before the con
vention this morning. He was inter.
rupted several times by delegate:
who asked the stand of the legion or
various questions. Delegate Hind
marsh of Riverton, asked:
Suppose we miners refuse to obey
an anti-strike law or injunction
such as that recently issued by Judg,
Anderson, and refused to work, wha
action would the American Legior
take regarding defending law and or
der?"
81 cannot answer what action tn,
legion might take" Rev. Gleason re
piled but if you mean were the min
ers to resist law by open rebellion
I'll tell you personally that 1. as ar
individual, would not hesitate il
strapping a AS to my side and stanG
ready to defend the United States.
That's what wanted to know,
Hindmarsha said.
