division of insects.
DR.. Aldrich was known for his un-
usual success in obtaining rare speci-
mems of insect life in various sections
of the western hemisphere In 1911
he obtained a large collection of
dlptera in the Salt Lake section,
Western United States. Ten years
later he made al extended journey
into the wilds of Alaska, where he
added to his collection, and in 1926
he went to Guatemala, where he
netted many other insects hitherto
unknown to science. Most of his rare
collection was donated, in 1924, to
the National Museum

CHANGES PLANNED.
IN SURETY LAWS.
Crowley Promises Efforts to
Fix Assessments for
Banks.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

The major objection Of bankers to
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration will be removed at the next
session of Congress, Leo T. Crowley,
chairman of the corporation, prom
ised today, when he announced legts-
lation would be sought setting def
mite assessment on member banks.
Under the present law there is no
limit to the number Of assessments
which may be levied against open
banks to meet the losses of closed ones.
The argument has been cited that If
the deposits of those banks which
closed in 1888 were added to the de-
posits of the banks which failed also
during the three years previous the
total would have amounted to nearly
81 ,000, 900 900.
If all those banks had closed under
a guaranty plan, such as is now op-
erative, the losses falling on the fund
would probably have aggregated more
than $2,500, 100000. This amount was
held to be equal to about 8 per cent
Of the deposits of all banks operating
on an unrestricted basis, and about
48 per cent of their reported capital
funds.

individual cases, where the ratio of

NEW YORK, August S0.-Cash
dividend payments by the companies
Of the Standard OIL group for the first
nine months of 1884 are estimated at
$101 ,537, ,1S7, compared with $50, 6,4ao, =
ass in the corresponding period of
1888, an increase of $15,56, 1872, or ap-
proximately 18 per cent, according to
figures compiled by Carl H. Pforz-
heimer & Co.
Aggregate disbursements of the
group in the third quarter Of 1894 will
total $18,582,065, which, although the
smallest quarterly total for some time,
does not indicate adverse dividend ac-
tions, but merely reflects the change
in dividend policy by several of the
large companies, whereby distributions
are being made semi-annually in the
second and fourth quarters instead of
quarterly as heretofore.

capital funds to deposits is small, the
burden would have been equal to rs
per cent, or 100 per cent of capital
funds. For instance. a bank with
$50,000 capital, $4,000 surplus and
$1,000, 900 deposits would have its en-
tire surplus and all but $4,000 Of the
capital wiped out by an 8 per cent
assessment on deposits.
Also, it has been advanced, many
banks upon which these assessments
would have been levied already had
their capital impaired and the addi-
tional burden might have placed more
institutions in the insolvent class, thus
greatly narrowing the basis for assess
ments, with these results cumulative
as failures continued.
Under Crowley's tentative plans q
definite assessment will apply for one
year.
Legislation also will be sought to
give the corporation added regulatory
powers over banks which seek mem
bership in the fund.
