his subordinate, contented himself
with reading her the articles of war
about spies instead of shooting her.
He released her, warning her, how

Undaunted by this experience Belle

Belle Is Found Guilty
On one occasion she entrusted a
message TO supposed Confederate
soldier who turned out to be a Union
spy and who took the message to
General Shields. Belle was arrested,
taken to Harpers Ferry and then TO
Washington where she was confined
in the Old Capitol prison. She was
tried by court martial, found guilty.

months was given her freedom through
an exchange of prisoners As matter

SYMONS FIGHTS
NATIONAL BANK
ENFORCEMENT
Aids Convention Move to
Condemn Extension of
Jurisdiction.

Luther S. Syrnons, state banking
commissioner. is taking a leading
part in the discussion Of alleged en-
croachment by national banks upon
state banking institutions, at the
annual convention Of the National
Association Of Supervisors Of State
Banks. according to word received
today by his assistant, Thomas d.
Barr.
The convention now is in session
at San Francisco, and is expected
to condemn plans for extending ma
tional bank Jurisdiction by congress
sional legislation, Barr declared.
Symons has been working with
Peter G. CaemrOn, secretary of the
state banking department Of Penn
sylyania, in arousing opposition to
the national banking extension pro-
gram.
Unable to attend the meeting,
Cameron sent a letter stating his
stand. @ copy of which was received
by Barr.
IN the letter to be read to the
convention by President A. J. Veigel
of the association, he charges that
an expensive lobby is being organ
lied by the American Bankers As
ISOLATION to foster the expansion
movement. which he considers
detrimental to the state-governed
banks.
r he urges that state banking de-
parurcnts get N touch with their
congressional delegations ano
thWart the movement.
Let us call upon the national
bankers to desist from their efforts
to eliminate our institutions as in
strUmentaIities of the states" he
closes the letter, and assure them
that we have no desire to interfere
with liberalization Of the national
banking laws, so long as no legis-
lation is offered that threatens the
general welfare Of the state bank
ing system"
