TEST OF GROUP BANK
LIABILITY PLANNED
Controller Nav Determine Extent
of Stockholders Interest in
Paying Debts.

The liability of shareholders in group
bank organizations in the case of failure
of a bank which is a member of the
group may be finally determined as
result of action taken by the controller
of currency, John w. Pole. it was
learned here today.
The Federal receiver of the National
Bank of Kentucky in Louisville has an
nounced that he has been directed by
the controller to assess the stockholders
of that bank 100 per cent on the double
liability that attaches to holders OF
stock in national banks. A large per-
centage of the banks stock was owned
by the Banco-Kentucky Co. If the
Banco-Kentucky Co. cannot meet the
assessment of more than 100000.
assessments will be levied against the
shareholders of Banco-Kentucky and
suit brought in an attempt to pass along
the liability to them. This. it was
stated, will be the first case of its kind
en- record.
The question of the liability of share
holders of group banks has given the
state Legislatures and Congress consid
cradle concern and has been used as an

BORAH STATEMENT
ON STOCK DEBATED
Wall Street Disputes Re-
ported Remarks on Gen.
eraI Motors.
BY JOHN r. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March Ex-senator
Borah's reported statement that Gen.
eral Motors stock was put out at 90
shrank to ga loss to the investors
of $2,61O,O 900 900" has raised storm in
Wall Street. Such a statement pre-
| supposes the fact that every common
stakeholder of General Motors bought
at the top and sold at the bottom.
General Motors has 43,500,000 COM
mon shares outstanding. Most of it is
held by investors, who never trans
ferred a share during the boom period,
nor after. A few investors bought the
stock at the high figures, but the vast
majority of those who bought at the
top" were mere spectators, taking a
chance on making few more points"
before it dropped.
The fact is that while a few investors
were unfortunate enough to buy this
particular stock and other stocks at
similar high prices, the number is
relatively small, and the loSS-fgure,
given by Senator Borsh, is fantastic
and unreliable.
One commentator said: mo gov
eminent can legiSlate a fool away from
his folly. The fleeing, bought and
paid for in the last stock markst fiaSco,
was the just reward for gambling In
vestorS lost nothing, and the Senator
knows it,
This is putting the case too strong,
on the other side! Some investors did
lose, but probably the truth is some
where between this statement showing
that investors lost nothing" and the
Borah statement that investors lost
everything.
A Famous Address.
No 1 Wall street! That's famous
address. For it's on the corner of Broad
way and Wall street, looking across
from the old Trinity Church on one
side and directly across from George
F. Bakers First National Bank on the
other.

Presidents Secretaries.
The appointment of Theodore Joslin,
Washington newspaper man, as secre-
tary to the President to succeed George
Akerson calls to mind the fact that
many of the presidential secretaries in
the past have gone into lucrative posi-
tions after leaving that spotlight. The
NEST notable of these is George B.
Cortelyou, who was private secretary to
william Mckinley and who is now pres
ident of the Consolidated Gas Co. of
New York, the richest public utility
property in the world.
Mr.. Cortelyou who started as a
stems Rpher and who in early life
planneoAa career in music, was the first
Secretary of Labor in the Roosevelt
cabinet. and later his Secretary of the
Treasury.
Now, as the head of the Consolidated
Gas Co. which, at the end of 1880, had
1924 common stockholders and 81 SOB
preferred stockholders and 13,570,51l
corporation whose common stock has
market value of over 81 ,400, 100000.
New York Jobs.
Don't come to New York looking for
work. This is the advice Mrs. william
H. Hays, president of the New York
Y. w. C. A., wants every American girl
to know.
Mrs. August Belmont, one-time
famous actress, now chairman of the
Women's Fund Committee of New York,
which is raising a large fund for self
supporting women, joins in this advice
of warning.
The $4,000 men now being employed
with the funds which the Stewart
Prosser Committee raised, will be with
out work next month, when the fund
is gone What will they do then? FRANK

argument against the new form of
banking organization.
The owners of stock in national banks,
and in State banks in most of the
States, are liable to a 100 per cent
assessment against their shares in case
of failure of the bank or, in some cases,
to prevent it from failing. Where the
stock of a bank is held entirely or in
part by a holding company, the holding
company as a bank stockholder is liable
to the double assessment. In cases
where the holding company possesses
assets other than bank stock there is
some assurance that such an assess
ment against it could be met.
Where. however, the entire assets of
holding company are composed of
bank stock situation may arise where
a double liability assessment could not
be paid. In that case it becomes of
importance to determine whether the
double liability can be passed along to
the stockholders of the holding COM
pany Test suits to settle that question
will probably result from the action Of
the controller.

SAYS JAPAN
DOESN'T WANT WAR
Head of Methodist Church
There Also Says Nation

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, October 17.-Japan has
neither the desire nor ability to wage
war at this time. Bishop Motozo Aka
zawa, general superintendent Of the ia
pan Methodist Church. here to attend
the Ecumenical Congress. said today in
an interview discussing the present Far
Eastern situation.
Manchuria," he said. Il am not in
formed, for I left my home in Toxic
August 6. before the present situation
developed.
II do know that Japan feels present
economic conditions, just as almost
every other country does. and that she
has not the finances necessary for q
war, even should she desire one.
Doesn't Want Manchuria.
Far from desiring war, Japan knows
that improvement in economic condi-
tions must depend en- trade, and that
peace is necessary for trade. She does
not want Manchuria, but only to pro-
tect Eer interests in the railroad there.
China and the United States are our
best customers. Surely we do not
want to offend either nation, but rather
to increase trade with BOTH"
Bishop Akazawa said he feels that
the Pacific Ocean is the center around
which world affairs of most Importance
will revolve in the future. as the At
lantic Ocean has been in the past.
Educated in South.
TT is" he smiled, the old tale Of
westward movement"
Bishop Akazawa is no stranger to
the South, having received his college
training at the University Of Texas and
his theological seminary work at Van
derbilt University
The Japan Methodist Church, OF
which he is head. was organized in 1907
through cooperation Of missions from

"STRONG MAN" SCHOOL
CENSORED ON ITS ADS
Federal Trade Commission Hits
Alleged Misrepresentation in
Order to Desist.

A strong man" correspondence school
in New York has been ordered by the
Federal Trade Commission to weaken
its claims.
The establishment-the Breitbart In
stitute Of Physical Culture, Inc.-was
organized six years ago, right after the
death Of Seigmund Breitbart, a well
known athlete, who conducted a cor
respondence school in physical culture
known as Siegmund Breitbart, Inc, &C.
cording to the Trade Commission.
The present institution, among other
things, has been ordered to stop repre-
senting to the public that Siegmund
Breitbart, deceased, is living person
and connected or associated with re-
spondents said business"
A curb has been put on other adYer-
Using, including the reputed represen-
tation that Jack Dempsey and some
other sports notables were on its
advisory council"
Frederick S. Engel, president and
manager, and two woman clerks were
the only regular employees of the school
within the past three years, according
to the commission.

position that the grand jurys charges
and the evidence on which they were
based remain despite the courts de-
cision, and deserve complete irivestiga-
ton.
The Committee of Lawyers Is now
winding up the inquiry and expects to
submit its findings to the Comm ssion-
ers by the middle Of the week. For
three hours yesterday the members, for
the second time, questioned former
Policeman Staples. who the grand jury
declared should be reinstated on the
Police Force. Staples first appeared be-
fore the committee two weeks ago and
was questioned for nearly five hours.
Justice Proctor, in his opinion, said
the practice of grand jury in making
special reports should be stopped. The
grand jury, he declared. should not
come to regard itself as 1.-The general
regulators of the public welfare" but
should either indict or ignore a matter
referred to 1t for investigation.

1t very seriously believes that these
peace representing treaties should be hon.

emergency like the Manchurian war

ems. The United States representations
to China and Japan-which have been
carefully couched SO as to avoid the
slightest suggestion that this country is
taking sides in their controversy-spring
from the ardent conviction both OF the
Hoover administration and the Ameri-
can people that no stone should be lett
unturned to keep the dogs of war
chained up in Asia.

Derivation of Term
"Sino-Japanese''
Piques Curiosity

The origin of the term "Sino-
Japanese, Ehich has cropped up
in every newspaper in the land
in relation to the Chinese apa-
nese trouble, has plqued the
curiosity Of many readers.
why, it is of such common
usage that I have never stopped
to consider the origin" said
State Department official when
asked concerning the matter.
The term "Sino," which takes
the place Of Chinese" in the
combination, is from the Greek
word Sinai" which means
Chinese. The Biblical name for
China was Sinim.
Sinology Is the systematic
study or investigation Of the
Chinese language, history and
customs, and a person well versed
in these is called a sinologist.
