INCREASE IN BANK
ACCOUNTS REPORTED
Payment of Workers by Checks
Has Aided Growth Of
Deposits.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. october 8.-American
citizens are carrying more Of their
money in their bank accounts and less
in their pockets today than ever before.
according to banking authorities.
Opening of bank accounts has be-
come an almost universal practice
which has been given stimulus by the
policy Of paying employees by check.
For long time there was strong OPP
position to this from labor leaders and
working men and women, but this OPP
position seems to be passing. Workers
are sufficiently prosperous to open bank
accounts and are paid and do their
own paying by check.
The trend is shown unmistakably In
the announcement of the Post ONCE
Department that postal employees In
more than 100 Offices throughout the
country hereafter will be paid by check.
The department believes this policy will
facilitate the handling of such pay
mentS and reduce the cost of the ac-
counting involved. In the other Gov
eminent departments in Washington,
the employees can be paid by check Or in
cash as they elect. A little more than
so per cent take cash, but the per-
centage is gradually declining.
1t Is admitted by bankers that pay
ment of workers in cash has advan-
tages. The cashing of checks by those
who have no bank account is some
what complicated, although banks have
specialized in handling payrolls dis
charged in this fashion. Often banks
are closed before the employe can reach
them and he then has to wait for his
money.
There are distinct physical Difficult
ties and dangers in the handling Of
large sums in cash by employers, the
Department Of Labor states, and there
is also the factor of safety for the en-
p!oye. Employers say the check meth
cd eliminates the temptation to petty
theftS in the Offices and obviates dis
puteS as to the amount actually received
by the employee. One factor not over
looked is that it keeps the worker from
being bothered with requests for loans
from fellow employees, often hard to re-
fuse with the cash actually in hand.
Pay roll robberies undoubtedly have
been decreased by reason of the check
method of payment and employees have
been given an added protection against
thugs and highwaymen. The main dis
advantage of the system formerly was
that many workers had to cash their
checks at stores where they either had
to make a purchase or receive a dis
count. Opening of their own bank &C.
counts has decreased this disadvantage
materially.
Forgery, however, is increasing, ac-
cording to P. w. Irvine, Brooklyn
Surety Co. executive. He asserts that
more than 5000, 900, 900 is lost annually
in this country through forged and
raised checks.

HUGE SUMS SAVED
TO SHIPPING PUBLIC
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 8.-Asserting
that few persons seem to have an ade-
quate conception of the extent to which
freight rates have been reduced since
the war, Edward E. LOOMS, president
Lehigh Valley Railroad and chairman
committee on public relations of the
Eastern railroads, in q statement issued
yesterday said that the saving to the
shipping public from lowered rates since
1922 aggregated nearly $4,880. 100000.
This represents the total amount
the shippers would have paid for trans
portation service in those seven years
above what they actually did pay had
the rate level remained at the peak
of 1921" Mr.. LOOMS explained.
THUS it will be seen that the rail-
roads have not been the only recipients
of the benefits derived from economies
in operation, for large part Of these
benefits have been passed on to the
shipping public in the form of reduced
freight rates. Clearly the railroads
richly deserve whatever share of pros
perity they are allowed to enjoy.
1.-The outstanding fact that business
must have learned since the World War
if sheer performance is any fair
measure of value-is that the actual
cost Of railroad transportation is
CHedpef Ioudy tIld1 IL was IN the gcOo
old days. Rate schedules of years ago
never did tell the whole story, for UNI
less one takes into considerat ton in
terest on the value Of The goods for a
period of one to five weeks-during the
time in transit-and the cost of carry
ing a heavy inventory because of the
delays and uncertainty of railroad de-
livery. one cannot get an accurate idea
of what the real cost OF transportation
used to be.
by continually improving and speed
ing up their service The railroads ere
keeping pace with the progress of bust
ness and are in turn helping Business
progress. The daily average movement
OF freight car in July this year-the
cent greater than for the correspond
ing month of 1922

STATE HELD ABLE
TO CONSERVE GAS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 8.-The
power Of the State to prevent unreal
sonable waStage of natural gas Is con-
ceded to be a lawful exertion of author
ity. The repeated decisions Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States on
this very question have placed this mat
ter definitely at rest.
So declared William E. Colby, coun-
sci for the Bradley mining interests,
speaking before the Institute Of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers. He warm
ly defended the Lion gas conservation
laws, as yet but theoretically in effect
in California.
The California statute differs from
previous legislation on the subject in
that 1t goes far beyond the direct pre-
venting of waste Of gas and oil and
the customary regulations providing for
approving drilling Of field, such as
proper spacing of wells and shutting
of of water, ETC., Mr.. Bradley explained
1T looks to the future and imposes
duty on the owners OF oil and gas
wells to produce only reasonable pro-
portion of gas to the amount Of oil
issuing from the same well or wells,
even though the excess production Of
gas Is utilized and not wasted in the
ordinary sense" he added. 1.-The State
oil and gas supervisor Is given the au-
thority to determine in the first in
stance what Is an unreasonable produce
ton or waste. An appeal from his order
lies to q board Of commissioners, and
If such orders are not complied with
the director Of the department of nat
ural resources has the power to insti-
tute proceedings to enjoin such produc-
ton that is taking place in violation of
his orders.
"a serious question arising in con-
nection with this particular act is
whether this plenary authority is dele
gated to the State oil and gas COM
missioners and supervisor will be up
held. The fact that the aggrieved party
has his day in court would seem to
relieve the act of the objection that
there has been delegation of the act
of judicial power to administrative Of
flcers. While the feature of this legis-
lation designed to compel the interested
parties to enter into cooperative agree
ments may be criticized as requiring
affirmative action of an intricate ma
ture, the alternative of q complete shut
down to prevent gas wastage would
seem to furnish the answer"

COAST FLYERS
NEAR RECORD
Must Stay In Air Until 2:3O
Tuesday Afternoon to
Break Mark

CULVER CITY, Calf, July 9.-[P
Determined to stick by their plane
until its engine quits, L. w. Men
dell and R. B. Reinhart entered the
168th hour of their endurance flight
at $50 a. M, today. The plane was
refueled early today with enough
gasoline to carry them until mid
night tonight.
At $50 o'clock only seven hours
separated Mendell and Reinhart
from. the record of 174 hours, SO sec
onds established three days ago by
Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K. New
comb at Cleveland. If the Culver
City fliers remain in the air until
2:30 this afternoon they will have
broken all existing records Off srz-
tained flight, and will have exceed
ed the Cleveland record by one hour.
While they indicated the contin-
uous air journey which started a
week ago at 7:29:30 a. m, had worn
them to the point of exhaustion,
their messages continued to reflect
the determination which had car
ried them beyond the one hundred
sixty first hour of flying at 1890
a. m, today.
Should the pair keep the plane
"AngeIeno" in the air until 2:30:29
o'clock this afternoon they will have
eclipsed by an hour the present
record established only three days
ago by Roy l.. Mitchell and Byron
K. Newcomb at Cleveland.

MEXICO CITY, July 9-(P)-The
Mexican Aviation company today
announced plans for the establish
ment next week of an international
train-plane passenger service, the
first to connect two nations.
The fastest trains now require
nearly five days for the trip, while
the boats require more than

proximately 1900 mile journey will
be made by plane, with two all
night stretches by train.
Leaving New York at night pas

ing the next day to Greensboro, N.
c., from there they will travel by
train, arriving in New York at 9:53
on the second morning after their
departure.
The announcement said tri-mo-
tor planes would be used through
out. The Mexican Aviation COM
pany will operate the planes on the
Mexican end of the trip, while the
Greensboro and Houston hop will
be made by Southern Air Transport
planes. 1t was understood the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Seaboard Air
Line would be the railroads partici-
pating.

California Area
Uneasy After Quake
Despite Assurance

LOS ANGELES, July 9.-(P)-
Earthquakes which rocked Los An
geles and vicinity yesterday, caus
ing injuries to four persons and
damage to a few buildings, left an
aftermath of uneasiness in some
districts today in spite of the state
ment of Ralph Arnold, a SeiSmolo-
gist, that recurrence Of the tenn
blors was unlikely.
East Whittier school in the sub
urb of Whittier was the principal
building damages. The concrete
structure, fifteen years old, was
badly cracked in the extreme wings
and a part of the roof and walls
fell. 1t had been closed for the
summer. Other buildings were also
damaged in Whittier and vicinity.
Two children were hurt when a
washing machine overturned and
two oil field workers at the Santa Fe
Springs field near Whittier were
struck by falling objects from der
ricks. Officials at the field said
two producing wells were stopped by
the qulakes.
The shocks, while most severe at
Whittier, were distinctly felt
through the suburban beach towns
from Santa Monica to Long Beach.
In Los Angeles buildings rocked
perceptibly, but no damage was re-
ported.

The Liz lost one man, Charles
Edward Bull, chief signaller, who
is missing, while Arthur Sampson,
seaman, vas in a critical condition
from injuries.
AS soon as word of the disaster
was received, the dock yard tugs Re-
solve and Grappler hurriedly pre-
pared to go to sea with salvage gear
from Portsmouth.
Smashed Badly
Details Of the circumstances under
which the disaster took place or
how badly the submarine was
smashed when she went down were
lacking in first announcements by
the admiralty.
1t appeared, however, that the
HAT sank in about 270 feet Of
water, or nearly three times that in
which the American submarine S-4
sank in 1927, and considerably deep
er than that to which the S-51 sank
in 1925. Salvage operations at such
depth would be exceedingly diff
cult.
The admiralty statement said the
HAT sank after a collision with the
LIZ about % miles to the north
ward of SmaIl's lighthouse and
about 20 miles due west from fish
guard.
Two Rescued
Beyond the details of the two men
rescued from the stricken ship and
the two aboard the LIZ involved,
one being missing and the other
no further information.
Arrangements were made with all
dispatch to attempt salvage Of the
HAT despite the depth of the water
in which it sank.
The LIZ ha ssix torpedo tubes in
addition to extensive other arma-
ment, refrigerating machinery for
storage batteries, directional hydro
planes, and three periscopes. It's
length is 229 feet, and its displace-
ment 800 tons.
1T was the second of the IL" Sc
ries. Three sister ships have been
lost; the L-24 rammed off Portland
January 1924, the LILO. a war loss,
and the L-9, foundered off Hong
kong in 1923. This last finally was
salvaged.
The submarine HAT also was built
under the war emergency program.
1t was smaller than the LIZ, with
displacement of 440 tons and
length Of 164 1-2 feet. 1T carried
four torpedo tubes.
The sister ship, the H-29, sank
in dock at Davenport in August
1926 and consequently was placed on
the disposal list
