FED. AMERICAN
HOLDERS PAY
S850,000

Close to $s5o,ooO has been col,
lected from stockholders Of the
defunct Federal American Ma
tional Bank and Trust Company,
it was learned yesterday upon ex-
cellent authority. This bank, with
capital Of 100000, failed to
reopen following the bank holi-
day of 1888 and was later ordered
liquidated.
The Comptroller Of the Cur
rency levied an assessment Of 100
per cent on stockholders Of the
bank. About AZ per cent Of the
amount due depositors has been
collected by the receiver. One
disbursement has been made to
depoSitors since the bank closed.
It is believed that a consider.
ably larger amount than the $3.50.
900 already collected from stock
holders will eventually be made
available although no information
is obtainable as to the prospects OF
a dividend payment in the near
1uLuTSs Ills S1IudGAOA1 40 b4Ou6AAU
about because Of certain htiga-
tion now under way and pending
which would seem to preclude the
Comptroller ordering a dividend
payment until the court cases are
disposed Of.
The collection Of AZ per cent
from stockholders with the fair
prospect Of additional collections
from this source, however, is con
sidered a rather remarkable rec
ord, as they were many predic'
tions in the early days Of the re-
ceivership that not more than Is
per cent of the amount which the
stockholders would be asked to pay
would ever be collected.
The situation in regard to the
Chevy Chase Savings Bank, which
is also being liquidated, remains
more obscure and there is no
present possibility of definite in
formation regarding settlements
in that case,

A scientific study of the nations

attempts to enact further legisla-

to Charles r. Hook, president of
the American Rolling Mills Co.
In a letter released by the

LAST LIBERTIES
MAY Be CALLED
ON APRIL Is
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
international News Service

international news service
Federal refinancing of long
term securities may be wound
up April IS until the spring of
1910, according to high Treasury
experts today.
This will wipe out all Of the
wartime Liberties and most Of
the bonds bearing clauses pro-
viding for payment in gold. Sec
retary Morgenthau is highly anx-
ious for retirement as soon as
possible of the gold-clause bonds.
All Liberty bonds, except a
block of $1,000, 100000 of the ~
per cent Fourths have been called
Mr.. Morgenthau has the opinion
of calling these securities April
is for retirement on or before
october Is.
Market authorities said that
they anticipated the Fourth Lib
erty call April is, at which time
all unredeemed FourthS of $1,875,-
900, 900 called last october will
be paid off. Current figures show
that about $1,000, 100000 Of the
Fourths of the october IS, 1884,
call have been exchanged for the
new 2b per cent Treasury bonds
issued March Is.
Reception to the exchange Of
fering was regarded by the Treas
ury as excellent. Before close
of the books last night on the ex-
change it was expected about
81 800, ,00O,0 900 Of the bonds called
for April Is had been turned in
for the new securities. Final fig
ures will be available soon.

'mittee three members of the Fed
eral Reserve board. The two re-
naming members would come
from Federal Reserve banks. From
this it is seen that the Reserve
board becomes the dominant body.
1t takes no stretch of the magma
ton to recognize the possibilities.
Members of the Reserve board,
while they are appointed for a
term of ten years, sometimes re-
sign or die off. 1t Immediately be-
comes possible, therefore, to make
the Federal Reserve board a pure
" political body 'ominated by the
President of the United tSates.
The function of the open market
committee, as proposed in the bill,
is to order the purchase or sale of
government securities in the open
market. If these securities are
bought, the reserve banks issue
currency for them and they in
crease the amount of money in cir
culation, thereby easing credit. If
the banks sell bonds which they
have in their portfolios, the cur
rency paid for those bonds obvious
ly is taken out of circulation and
that action results in a contrac-
ton or reduction of the amount of
credit available.
If, for example, the occupant of
the White House at any time hap
pens to be an out-and-out initiation
list, it is easy to see how govern
ment bonds can be absorbed by the
Reserve banks and new currency
put in circulation in whatever vol
ume the administration policies re-
quire.
Another phase of the bill would
allow national banks and state
banks that are members of the
Federal Reserve system to make
loans on real estate for a twenty
year term. Five years is the pres
ent limitation. One has only to go
back for an examination of causes
of hundreds of bank failures in re-
cent years to discover that the
five-year limitation probably in
creased the mortality among 9TH
erwise sound banks to a greater
extent than any other factor.
Worthy of Examination
There is another section of the
measure which I think is worthy
of close Federal Reserve examina-
ton. 1t proposes to combine the
jobs of governor and agent, and
that the bank policies should be

executed by the governor who is
selected by the bank board of di-
rectors.
This provided something of a
dual control, a check and balance
on the exercise of power. Now,
combine the jobs and make the
head of the bank strictly govern
ment representative.
That course naturally is in line
with the Roosevelt program of ex-
tending and expanding federal au-
thority. The President has con-
stantly increased the score of pow
er and influence exercised from
Washington. The current offer
ing is accepted everywhere as
bringing under federal domination
completely the banking system OF
this nation. 1t does so because
none can deny that the Federal
Reserve banks hold a club over
the heads of private bankers
wherever they may be.
So / believe it is fair state
ment to say that Mr.. Roosevelt or
those who are responsible to him, is
reaching out to amplify the con-
troll of credit from Washington
which was initiated through the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
ton, the Home Owners Loan cor
poration and other lending agen-
cies. The Federal Reserve system
was set up, according to the de-
bate on the measure in congress at
that time, to decentralize credit
control and break the grip which
New York exercised over the vol
ume of credit. Now, apparently,
it is all coming back to Washing
ton.
In connection with the admins
tration's attention to domestic af-
fairs and the consequent legisla-
tive changes, attention might well
be centered on the meaning of some
of the moves. One Washington
observer wrote in his newspaper
the other day that the admln1stra-
Hon was renewing its notes at the
bank. What he referred to was
the extension Of life of the Re-
construction Finance corporation
and the pumping of more blood in
to the veins of the Home Owners
Loan corporation.
Something similar has occurred
with respect to the Reconstruction
Finance corporation which hIa
been given new life nd about
$3.50, 100000 in new money by an
act of congress.
Then, President Roosevelt has
asked for renewal of the life of
the National Recovery administra-
tion and for re-enactment of the
National Recovery act, both of
which expires next June 16.
As result of these maneuvers
a good many observers are of the
opinion that the recovery efforts
have not been as successful as their
optimistic sponsors had predicted
a year ago.

THE PRICE IN THE CHACO.

Although peace has now come in the famt haco war between Bolivia and Paraguay, 1mment in a recent edition of the New YC ines, relative to the price in human lives, in ,ng drawn out struggle, stirs the imagination le horror of all wars:
 Peace may come in the Chaco before the third anniversary of the outbreak of hos tilities a few days hence but not until an estimated list of 100000 dead on both sides has been rolled up. The joint population of Bolivia and Paraguay less than 4000,- 900 when the war began, and the toll in lives has been heavier proportipnately than that paid by France or Germany in the World War.
 This would be particularly true in the case of Paraguay with a population of less than a million souls She has lavished her traditions. Seventy years ago. under the dictator Lopez, "El Supreme" she fought single handed for five years against Brazil. Argentina and Uruguay. When peace came in 1870 there no males left in the country between the ages of IA and 70. Fl Supremos last battles were fought largely by armies composed of women and children.
 Conditions today in Paraguay must be reminiscent The dank climate of the mat ted jungle may be facilitating for other pursuits, but apparently not for the busi- of wholesale human slaughter.

TIGHTENING PRISON REGULATIONS.

Another prison riot breaks out and this time, fortunately, the rioters subdued without loss of life. It occurred in Kansas institution where 348 prisoners demanded better prepared food discharge of the prison doctor and immunity for their action.
 Reformation of convicted men and women is cer- tainy a worthy cause which should be promoted, but it be that in of penal institutions the fact that prisoners have snned against society is being too casually overlooked? Is it true as many have to believe, that the work to reform those who have digressed is taking precedence over the original idea of punishment for violating the laws of organized society?
 Virtually everyone is agreed that there is no place in scheme of things for the nhuman dungeon methods of olden times but there does appear to be danger that we might be swinging a little much to the other extreme. It would seem to those of looking at these prison breaks from a distance that too great leniency must have great deal to do with fomenting such uprisings
 Prison officials cannot lose sight of the fact - that the and women given to their custod. behind the bars for purpose and that purpose should be fulfilled. The penalty must be paid ol organized society is doomed It is fine thing tc read of those prisoners who after serving theii sentences go back into the world to become usefu citizens It is the hope for all convicted persons But the roting of 348 inmates of a pententiary because their ham and eggs weren't cooked quite
