DESIRE SMALLER TRACT.
Conferees Correct Statement on
Home for Predetermined.

In view of the erroneous report
printed in a morning paper regarding
the attitude of the conferees on the Dis
trict appropriation bill in regard to the
proposed home for feebleminded. the
conferees authorized Senator Phipps TO
issue q statement IN This item.
1t was stated that the House con-
ferees are holding out for a tract of
at least 1000 acres situated at some
distance in the country from Wash
ington. Representative johnson of
Kentucky, democrat, suggested that
in view of the fact that this is di-
rectly opposite to the contention of
the House conferees. and because it
would lead people having desirable
but smaller parcels of land nearer
the capital from offering them. the
correct situation should be told the
public.
This is that the cOnferees really
desire to find smaller piece of land
more convenient to the capital than
the sites that have been suggested.

II recognizes its share in creating the
cumulative popular. insistence which
was behind the Commissioners in their
investigation Of the local theaters, un-
dertaken with admirable promptness
following the Knickerbocker tragedy.
Recalling that upon January 80 1t as.
serted that "a thorough-going study Of
all local theaters. with a view to de-
termining their absolute safety or clos
ing their doors to the public. should
be promptly undertaken; that upon
the following day 1t said editorially
that IAN investigation as to the safety
of every theater in the District should
be promptly undertaken, and those
found to menace the security Of their
patrons in any way should be closed
to the public; and that 1t has subse-
quently played its part in the general
demand for a comprehensive inquiry
into the safety Of places Of public
gathering. it may today with good
grace deprecate the fact that what
cannot but seem to have been an un.
necessary hardship was wrought upon
the theater owners in the failure to
supply them Immediately with the
findings upon which the closing orders
were based, in order that they might
at once arrange to correct the faults
indicated and thus shorten the period
of suspended animation.
1t is understood that the data in
question have now been placed before
the owners of the affected theaters.
The community hopes soon to hear
from the theater owners the faults in
each case criticised, the announce
ment Of rush work to correct these
faults, the declaration Of acceptance
of corrective work by the Commission
ers and the fixing Of early dates Of
theater reopening.

Two Homecomings.

Arthur j. Balfour, head Of the Brit.
ish delegation in the recent Washing
ton conference. and Albert Sarraut,
who succeeded BRAND at the head of
the French delegation, have returned
to London and Paris, respectively. The
difference in their homecomings is
striking. Balfour is hailed by king
and countrymen with glad acclaim.
Little enthusiasm attended return of
the French delegation, which is repre-
sented as dissatisfied and respondent.
Why there should be such q differ.
ence in the British and French states
Of mind is difficult to understand.
Whatever benefits come out Of the
conference will flow to France as free.
ly as to England. It is true that the
French did not get out OF the confer
ence all the things they hoped for and
The sacrifices made were rather larger
on the British part than on that Of
France. On the negative side-the
prevention of achieyements-the score
is rather heavily with the French.
They were able to block limitation Of
submarine tonnage. something the
British earnestly sought. They were
able also to bar any effort to limit land
forces. eagerly desired by Italy and
deemed advisable by England and the
United States. France failed to get a
formal defensive alliance with Britain
and America, but she got instead as
surances Of their moral support. She
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose by the agreements affecting the
Pacific.
AS Mr.. Balfour put it at the Pill.
srims dinner in London: Every ma
ton has gained by these labors; no
representative will return to his homo
land unable to claim that he furthered
the interests of the world. and thereby
the interests of his particular people. -
Whatever dissatisfaction France
may feel. therefore cannot be because
of loss of material advantages. II she
is loser in moral advantage. in failure
to make her aspirations and motives
understood and sympathized with. the
loss is not irretrievable. The good
wishes of the world still adhere to
France. and America especially IL
ready and eager to accord her SYM
pathy in fullest measure.

The Roma Disaster.

The airship disaster causes nation
wide sorrow and poignant grief to the
friends and relatives of the victims.
Ever in this age OF great tragedies
that of the Roma stands out as hor-
ror of the first magnitude. The toll Of
dead is long and will. unhappily. prob
ably be heightened. for there is quite a
who suffered serious injuries.
Yesterday an Army airship flew
back and forth above Washington. and
thousands Of our people watched its
maneuvers with great interest. Many
of these were thinking how delightful
it must be to ride through the upper
air in that big. swift and easy-going
ship. 1t did not seem to involve much
peril Yet, soon after that airship
went to its anchorage, ship Of the
same general style. but very much
larger. was falling to ghastly disaster
about 200 miles away.
Air travel seems still to be full Of
danger. and the records Of wrecks or
is long and lamentable. A large per-
centage Of them fall because Of the
failure of some part Of the structure,
or because of catching on fire or ex-
ploding. Yet the conquest of the air
is ever carried forward. There will be
a searching investigation Of the cause
of this tragedy. the truth as to the
causes therefor will be established,
and the facts proven at heart!breaking
cost will be utilized for the future Sc
curity Of those who must follow the
uncharted paths Of the air.
The nation laments that so many
brave and venturesome men died in
this disaster, and everybody in Amer
lea would, If 1t were possible to do so,
express their sentiments Of sorrow to
those who were the friends Of the men
who died or who loved them because
of some even closer association than
friendship.

Necessity of a Banking Law

When Congress legislated for the
District and provided for the estab-
lIshment of trust companies 1t gave
the District Commissioners the same
authority with regard to such inst1'

troller of the currency regarding ma

The states have banking laws
which confer upon the state banking
! departments powers Of supervision
and control of state banking instl'
tutions organized under charters oo-
tained in the states. But there Is
no banking law In the District sim

here who has the power to inquire
into the organization OF proposed
commercial state bank that proposes

that business.
There is no purpose in the pro-
posed law to restrict or to narrow
competition, nor to prevent reliable
and responsible persons from enter
ing the field of banking in the Dis
trict of Columbia in competition with
existing institutions. The purpose
is to place the entire banking situa-

A Minimum of Hardshins.

The action Of the Commissioners on
Saturday last, when they closed the
doors of seven of the local theaters to
the public. while in itself unavoidable,
was taken in such a manner as to
cause it to seem somewhat oversevere
to the affected owners. 1t Is recoe-
nized that once convinced that the

tions for the highest Office under the

In Congress the republican leader
ship was all that could be desired. Mr..

longed to that ONCE. Tho floor leader
was Mr.. Payne Of New York. COM
petent man and veteran legislator.
Mr.. Aldrich Of Rhode Island was the
leader Of the Senate. AS a financial
authority he was wearing. not un-
worthily. it was thought. the mantle of
John Sherman. He was. moreover, a
master politician. He knew the game
from to z. and played it with reso

continuation OF power for at least an
other dozen years. Why not? Thus

House and on Capitol Hill. what was
to prevent such an administration Of
affairs as by its success would appeal

Something did prevent. It may have
been one thing. it may have been an
other. But certain it is that factionism
sprang up. got out Of hand. and put
the party. in Congress and out. on the

1--WE banks are being organized

under charters issued to them

1--WE banks are being organized
r. in the District of Columbia
under charters issued to them
by the states. There are
twenty-five banks already establish
ed here. chartered by the states. The
plain statement Of these facts is suf.
ficient argument, in the opinion Of
responsible officials of the District
government, that Congress should
without delay enact a general bank
ing law for the District Of Columbia,
which would make 1t imperative for
any corporation proposing to do a
banking business in the National
Capital to obtain first the approval
and consent of the proper officials in
the District.
At present there are fifteen ma
tional banks in tho District of CO.
lumbia and six trust companies. I'm
der existing law, all Of the national
banks are under the supervision of
the controller of the currency. They
must obtain their charters from the
controller and he must be satisfied
that the proper people and proper
means for conducting a national
bank are at hand before granting
such a charter.
Under the existing law. too. the
trust companies organized in the
District must first obtain the ap-
and a measure OF control Is main
tanned over them.
But there is no provision Of law
requiring other banking institutions
to obtain the approval and consent Of
the controller Of the currency or the
taking a banking business here. The
incorporators may go to any state
they desire for q charter. to the state
where the terms Of the charter seem
most generous. and. having obtained
their charter. they may open the
doors of q banking Institution in the
District. The only restrictions upon
them are that they may not organize
national bank or trust company
without seeking the approval Of the
officials already indicated.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate, which has the strong ap-
proval of the District Commissioners
and, in fact. many of the business
men of the District, which provides
that any corporation proposing to do
a banking business here must first
obtain the consent and approval of
the controller of the currency.
