Authorities Fear Other Kill

Are Exposed.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 13.-The
murder OF a man police described as
"Squealer" on giant countertelting ring
has brought from authorities predlc-
ton there would be more killings in
efforts to protect leaders of the group,
which already, the officers suggested,
may have cost two other lives.
Yesterdays victim. Nick Damico, At,
a stool pigeon" for Harry Buck, De-
partment OF Justice agent, was slashed
to death as he clung to the windowsill
of his apartment screaming for help.
Buck said Damico had expressed fear
he was marked for death because he
had revealed secrets of a ring that
shipped bogus money by the barrel from
plants in Brooklyn and Rochester, N. Y.
Deaths Connected.
Predicting more killings to eliminate
recruits who "squealed," officers sug-
gested the possibility of connection be-
tween Damico's Staying and the deaths
OF Reed Waterfield of nearby Newport,
XIV, in Florida a few days ago, and Joe
Wallace, described as a one-tlme Dig
bootleg operator, last Spring.
Waterfeld'S companions told west
Palm Beach, Fla. authorities he was
killed in an automobile accident. The
body of Wallace who had been shot to
death, was found stuffed in the rear
compartment Of an automobile, parked
in a Cincinnati suburb. His Staying
remains mystery.
Federal agents pointed out that
Waterfield was at liberty on bond IN
the counterfeiting case at the time OF
his death. while Wallace knew OF the
counterfeiting and was acquainted With
the big shots" in the market.
Damico Was "Star" Witness.
Damico, Buck said, was the star
witness in case he has been working
on for more than six months. From
Damico. Buck said he learned bogus
silver coins were shipped from the
Brooklyn and Rochester plants in 10
gallon lard cans and paper money was
sent by the barrel.
Immediately after Damico's death, a
murder warrant was issued for Earnest
Vilardo after police were told he and
Damico had been drinking beer to-
gether only 10 minutes before the kill
ing.

The Glass Banking Bill

The Glass banking bill, now as
sured of it's place on the federal
statute books, has attracted the at
tention of the general public chiefly
because of the knowledge that in
one form or another it would in
clude an insurance, or guarantee, of
deposits. The widespread losses of
depositors during the past years of
depression, together with vast ag-
gregate of deposits still in uncer-
tainty, have produced demand for
some such legislation, too insistent
to be disregarded. 1t is true, of
course, that the large majority of
banks have been SO honestly and ef-
ficiently handled as to cause their
depositors no loss; but that does not

relieve the government from the
duty of taking such steps as 1t may
find feasible to prevent the recur-
renee of such tragic loss of deposits
as many have recently suffered.
The experience of various indi-
vidual states with deposit, guarantee
laws has invariably been unsuccess-
full and often disastrous. Political
interference and inefficiency has all
hut invariably wrecked the good in
tentions with which such bills have
been passed.
Now, however, the nation has
ready for operation a deposit insur-
ance bill drawn by the most accom-
plished living authority on banking
methods and bank legislation. SEN
ator Glass has put into it the wis
dom and skill accumulated by years
of experience, observation and study,
and the American people, knowing
the conscientiousness with which he
approaches every public duty VIII
have full confidence that this bill
was drawn for the single purpose OF
doing just what it purports to do
that is, to make bank deposits safe
for the depositors, even though the
bank itself may suffer from misfor-
tune or mismanagement; and aside
from that, to save the banks them
selves, by proper regulatory require
ments and supervision from the
kinds of misfortune and mismanage-
ment that have been the most fire.
quent source of losses to their de-
positors and stockholders.
Readers of The Dispatch know
that it has been opposed to the
kinds of deposit guarantee measures
that have been adopted in the past.
Now, however, we have before us a
bill drawn by one who has been
thoroughly acquainted with the
faults and deficiencies of such leg
islation, and has taken every pos
sible precaution to avoid them. If
workable deposit insurance act can
be drawn, Senator Glass has achiev-
ed that end.
1t now becomes a question of ad-
ministration; and may we not trust
that the president and the secretary
of the treasury, forgetting every
consideration of politics as thor
oughly as Senator Glass has done,
will put no one but the best quail
fed man availabl in charge at ev-
cry point, and will insist upon such
comnetent constant and honest bank
inspection that, SO far as actually
repaying losses to depositors is con-
cerned, there will be virtually moth
ing to do: for after all, the funda-
mental purpose of this bill is to pre-
vent losses from occurring, not to
repay them after they have occur

GAS TAN AND AUTO TAGS YIELD
$119,0OO FOR YEAR

Present indications are that Nor
gan county and the townships and
municipal corporations therein will
receive $119,900 from gasoline
taxes and automobile licenses for
the year 1888, provided that exist
ing laws are not changed or repeal
ed by the general assembly.
This amount is ten percent less
than was received in 1892. The
amount received in 1892 was also
considerably less than was received
in 1881, but the exact percentage is
not readily determinable because of
the entirely different method of tax
ing motor vehicles which became ef-
fective Jan. /, 1892. 1t is known,
however, that the gross number of
gallons of gasoline returned for tax
alton in 1881 was 1,031,S00, $50, as
against 903,091,4 ,462 in 1882.
A further decrease of approXi-
mately 75,000,0O0 gallons is antici-
pated this year, and the estimated
revenues are based upon gross GER
tifications of 825 million gallons
with a two million dollar allowance
for refunds and costs of collection.
There are 1887 townships in the
state of Ohio which are not cock
tensive with corporations and among
which will be equally divided S.75%
of the net gas tax collections during
this year. The IA townships in this
county will receive slightly over ST.
900 each, or a total of $2S,403 The
county receives an equal share, with
the other counties in the state, of
16.25& of the net collections which
is estimated at $57,245.
Of the total auto registrations in
the county 991 are within municipal
corporations, and it is upon these
that 1S.75@o of the net gas tax col
lections will be distributed which
will bring about s4,752 to the mu-
inequalities.
Comparison of the revenues from
auto licenses of the first three
months of 1882, with those of the
similar period of 1888, reflects de-
crease in 1888 revenues of slightly
over go.
In 1892 the total auto registra-
tions in the county were 1854. The
fees therefrom were $30,410.57, and
were redistributed by the state to
the advantage of the less wealthy
counties resulting in the county re-
ceiving $32,418.41, as it's share af-
ter deduction of the 1870 of total
revenues, which is set aside for
maintenance of state routes. In
1898 Morgan county and the mu
nicipal corporations therein will re-
ceive only s29,501 from auto Ii
censeS.
The reduction of the last two
cents of the gasoline tax would re-
suit in a decrease of over 37@o. in
the amount of gas tax revenues
which would be available to the
county and its subdivisions.
Considering the decreased yields
from tags and gas taxes, any such
reduction would mean there would
be but forty percent of the funds
available that were distributed
within the county in 1881 for main
tenance, repair, construction and
reconstruction.
