referred to such bank as having been
unduly favored.

necessary to legitimate needs of the
business of the country we furnished
it. If the Stock Exchange lean ac-
counts of ranks appeared to be rising,
we would warn bankers that reserve
money was not lent for that purpose.
One OF these institutions estimated for

Williams Ignorant of Facts
"Now, the Comptroller (Mr. Will

Governor Strong said he "hesitated
to make the statement" that Stock Ex

emergencies, because it isn't our

have place in the great economic
fabric Of the country"
He repeated ienials that increased

sentiment that producers and business

Trust Fund accounts
Terminate at Baltimore
No Money May Be Withdrawn
Under Ncso System if Voy-
Gge Has Prored q F0;lure

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BALTIMORE. Aug. Baltimore
operators Of Shipping Board vessels
have been ordered by the three new
operating e-presidents of the board
to terminate their Emergency Fleet
trust fund accounts Monday, and from
that time on operate under new ac-
counts. In addition, they have been
ordered not to withdraw money from
the new account for the expenses Of
any ship which shows loss on its
age have been audited and passed on
voyage until the accounts for the voy-
by the operating officials. This action
is considered by local steamship mon
as the most important taken by the
new presidents since they We're
appointed.
The significance of the move was ex-
planned by man who has been in the
Shipping business many years. He said
that the Emergency Fleet trust fund
was the operating account under which
the companies sailing Shipping Board
vessels did business. They are allowed
certain amount of capital from the
fund with which to do business. This
sum they deposit and pay into it all re-
celpts OF the company and withdraw all
expense items.
After Monday the operators will not
be allowed to withdraw expenses upon
a ship when its voyage shows loss
until the account Of the voyage has
been gone over at Washington Natur-
ally they will be expected to give an
explanation Of why the voyage did not
bring profit, and it is here that
the new system Will be effective in
checking inefficicncy and waste and in
proving which operators are showing
the most efficiencv
1t is understood that when the new
vice presidents first tried to get line
/ on which operators were managing the
vessels efficiently and which were not
they found the old system of accounting
so confusing that it was almost impos-
sible to get any idea of where the waste
was occurring.
Under the new order the full account
ing for every loss Immediately will be
brought to their attention. They can
at once go over the accounts and dis
cover whether too much money has been
spent for supplies. WAGES or other items.
