Editor, Tribune:
IN MEMORY OF DIR. RAWLINGS
You have passed from our midst,
dear friend,
And gone to your heavenly reward
While sorrow our hearts doth rend
We hold you In loving regard.
We have lost you and we shall
While our hearts are sad at your
going west
We bow to the Divine Will that
shines through
!. And tells US it's all for the best.
As I gazed at the beautiful flowers.
Friendships tokens arranged on
display,
Your life seemed to stand out as
. tower
While sat at the funeral today.
I thought that each flower In q way
Was typical and might we'll rep
resent,
Being pure, fragrant and beautiful,
A day In your life well spent.
One Of Gods Christian gentlemen
Were words We heard the minister
say
But the life you lived amongst US
Showed this clearly and bright
each day.
The words Of the service were brief
But seemingly golden-tipped were
they
For the life you lived spoke
volumes
And its memory well cherish for
aye.

EXPERTS CHECK
j, 8. INCOMES

Research experts of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce,
are making careful studies of
Federal Government expenditures,
as we'll as income, in connection
with an ambitious plan to COM
plete a thorough study of ma
tional income for 1929, 1880 and
1881, by the end of the current
year.
The survey was directed by
Senate Resolution No. 220 and its
purpose is to fix the sum total of
cash and commodity payments
received by the individuals COM
posing the nation. It is the first
such survey in many years, and
the first undertaken by the de-
partment.
Source of income, as to indus
try and as to form, whether
wages, interest, rent. dividends or
profits, will be worked out. but
special care is being taken to
study Government income, Fed
cral, District, State, county and
municipal, to determine how
money is raised and where it is
spent.

BANK
BILL GONFERS
WIDE POWERS

The Maryland bank holiday, at
first scheduled. to come to an end
tomorrow morning, probably will
be continued at least another day,
it was indicated today following
a series of conferences held last
night at Annapolis and Baltimore.
Inability to rush through legis-
lation necessary to protect the
banks at the end of the holiday
was given as the reason for con-
tinuing the holiday.
A bill has been drafted giving
the State banking commissioner
arbitrary powers to regulate with,
drawals and set up a system for
the protection of depoSitorS.
Members of the legislature have
agreed that they will accept any
legislation, no matter how draS-
tic, which will preserve the re.
sources of the banking institu-
tionS
If such a bill can be rushed
through both houses today, it is
barely possible that the banks
will reopen tomorrow, but Of
ficials held that there was little
chance for such action.

Curb Is Dull
And Trend
Upward
By THEODORE KOSLOW

NEW YORK, Feb. % U.NS0-
The curb market appeared to be
on the mend today, with gener-
ally higher levels for the active
favorites offsetting the continued
outcropping of individual soft
spots along the line.
Turnover dried up to the small
est proportions in many days,
which was construed favorably.
Bulls Encouraged
BulliShly inclined traders were
also hopeful that the close ap-
proach of inauguration day
might stimulate something in the
way of a rally before the week
end.
The utility group showed uni
form improvement with Electric
Bond and Share in active de-
mand, reaching 11H for a gain
OF 3s. American Gas and Elec-
trio rose 5s to 81, Niagara Hud-
son Power was up y point at 91a
and American Superpower edged
up "a to 27s.
Speciality issues were again in
clined to be reactionary, largely
as a result of absence of bids.
Brillo Manufacturing afforded a
welcome contrast with a further
gain of 1s to a new 1928 peak.
Bonds Are Steadier
Standard of Indiana tightened
up in a quiet oil list, showing a
net gain of 1s at 18.
Investment trusts were featured
by a break of 21a points in
National Bond and Share to 20.
The Cities Service group ruled
heavy.
Curb bonds showed a steadier
undertone. with Georgia Power

Pennsylvania Takes Steps
To Ease Strain on Banks

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. %
Q.N.SO Pennsylvania will have
no bank holiday.
This assurance was given to-
day by the States highest Off
cials after legislative enactment
Of a measure providing banks
with foundations upon which to
rear new financial structure
and solidify the old.
Beginning today, every Pennsyl-
vania bank may set up a plan
whereby all future deposits shall
be kept 100 per cent liquid. In
coming funds will be segregated
from previous accounts and will
be available to depositors i'm
mediately upon demand.
Adoption of the plan is op-
tional with the individual bank.
The effect is to allow limited
Withdrawals on old accounts and
unlimited Withdrawals on new &C
counts.
PennSylvania's legislature con-
Sumed barely an hour of its night
session in effecting measures to
ease the strain on financial
houses of the State. The emer-
gency banking plan is similar in
to that adopted re-
Gently by New Jersey.

NEW YORK, Feb. % G.N.sD.
Revealing that he had been de-
priVed of a voice in management
of Bush Terminal Co., Irving T.
Bush, founder and for 80 years
president of the company and
now chairman of the board, to-
day launched a proxy fight to
regain active control.
A statement signed by 81
veteran employees of the company
asking that Bush be returned to
the presidency, to succeed John
A. Stephens, also has been sent
to the company'S 5000 stock
holders.
Bush declares he was ousted
from the presidency through
trickery, statements hostile to
him having been carried to board
of directors last April when he
was abroad. An executive com
mittee was appointed and changed
the bylaws, paving the way for
Stephens election as president
two months later.

FOR GRAINS

CHICAGO, Feb. % GNs0.
Grain prices hovered within a
narrow range today in extremely
light early dealings.
Failure of Liverpool to give a
full reflection to the break here
yesterday encouraged scattered
support in wheat but this was
listless.
September corn scored a new
low for the season. Oats en-
countered some liquidation in the
May delivery which sold off
moderately to 157sc, duplicating
an all-time low in the Chicago
market.
At mid-season wheat prices

COM ROLLER
TAKES OVER
D. c. BANK

The Commercial National Bank,
Fourteenth and G Streets North
west, today was turned over to
the office of the Comptroller OF
Currency in a surprise move de-
signed to protect depositors.
F.. G. Await, deputy comp
troller, sent several assistants to
the bank early today to assume
charge of the institution. He
had been previously notified by
Col. Wade Cooper, president, that
the institution was pressed by
continued heavy Withdrawals.
Both the office of Comptroller
and that of Colonel Cooper were
silent today on the bank closing.
Await said he would not make a
statement until he had completed
a check-up of the affairs Of the
institution. Colonel Cooper could
not be reached and other officers
of the banking house said they
would not make a statement.
The bank was regarded as one
of the largest of the Secondary
chain of financial houses in the
city. Cooper's request to the
Comptroller was:
"In pursuance Of q reSOlu-
ton adopted February 26, 1888,
the board of directors of this
bank authorizes me to take
such action as in my judgment
1 deem best for the interest of
the depOsitOrs. / hereby, in
behalf of the directors of said
bank, request you to take
charge of the Commercial Ma
tiOnaI Bank of Washington,
d. c., at $3.50 a. m. February 28.
"The above action is re-
quested of you because of re-
cent heavy Withdrawals of de-
pOsits which we feel may
continue"
In an early edition of the
T.. les the erroneous statement
was made that the Union Trust
Company was connected with the
Commercial National Bank. The
institutions have no connection.

STANDARD Statistics
Sees UptUrn Distant

In It's weekly summary of the
general business situation, the
Standard Statistics Company of
New York, reports that for the
initial month of the current year,
department store dollar sales
were "a per cent below those for
the like 1882 interval, while
grocery store and variety store
chains reported decreases of 14.5
per cent and 9.8 per cent, re-
spectively.
Despite any measures which
may be adopted to mitigate
existing economic problems dur,
ing early future months, it is
evident from these figures that
a marked turn for the better in
primary consumption will not ce-
Velop over the first half of 1898,

the unusual pressure" caused in

holiday makes a policy of re-
Stricted payments to depositors
necessary in order to keep the
