18th Anniversary
Of This Bunk

In the 50th consecutive interest

Gepositors Of the United Mutual
Savings bank Tuesday. Franklin
F Summers. president Of that in
stitution. calls attention 70 the
fact that 1871 marks he 25th an
niversary = the bank.
Originally organized in 1915 as
savings and loan association. cur
institution continued as such until
1926 when the board OF trustees
decided TO change it to a mutual
savings bank. for they felt this
type Of institution better suited
10 the needs Of depositors requir-
irg liquidity and safety for their
funds said Summers.
Brought Advantages
"Since banks came under the
rtrict supervision Of the state
banking department and were re-
CURED 10 maintain liquidity by
carrying at least 300 Of their
funds in cash or its equivalent, a
change to mutual savings bank
brought these advantages. Then,
in 1888. when United Mutual be-
came member of the Federal
Deposit Insurance corporation, IT
automatically came under the
supervision Of the United states
government also. assuring abso-
lutely the immediate cash pay
ment liquidity of deposits in add
ton TO safety for funds.
Naturally we are proud Of our
growth during the past IS years.
From a small institution we have
grown to the fourth largest bank
in Tacoma, with assets exceeding
ga million dollars. During these
25 years we have paid so con-
secutive. semi-annual interest
dividends Of not less than 2iaes.
the highest rate paid by any bank
in the state of Washington. Fur
there, in the entire history of the
bank no depositor has ever lost
single penny Of his principal"
125th Anniversary
The year 1941 is also the 125th
anniversary of the Mutual Savings
bank system in America. While
the first mutual bank ever estab-
lished antedates 1916, it was in
that year that the mutual savings
bank idea was imported" into
the United States. These banks
followed the same plan as those
laid down by the originator of the
mutual savings banks, the Rev.
Henry Duncan, who founded his
bank in 1910, carrying on his
banking business in his parsonage
IN Ruthwell village. Scotland.

u. 5. Puts Curb on Sending
Money 10 Non-Americans

Persons in this country no longer
can send any spendable dollars to
non-Americans in any nation whose
funds have been frozen by the
United States, the Treasury ruled
yesterday in an attempt to plug
loophole in the monetary blockade
of the Axis.
The order does not affect the send
ing of dollars to American citizens
living abroad. One effect, officials
said, will be to curtail the sending
Of money by American citizens to
relatives in frozen" countries. For
merly, there was no restriction on
sending up to 500 month to rela-
tives abroad.
Hereafter, the only way to send
money to a non American in one of
the countries whose funds have been
frozen, will be to deposit the money
in frozen bank account in this
country and arrange for the foreign
owner of the frozen account to dis
burse an equivalent amount of his
native currency out of his own
pocket in the other country.
For instance, if an American
wanted to send money to a nom
American brother in France, he
would have to put the money in the
frozen bank account of a French
bank in this country and arrange for
the French bank to pay out an
equivalent amount of French money
to the French brother of the Amer
lean. officials said this procedure
would be permitted in a number of
countries and already was practiced
in some cases. but they did not
know whether Germany or Italy or
Japan would permit this type of
transaction.

Duquesne Victim
OF HAY Memory
AT Espionage Trial
Charges Of Contempt
Threatened for Lectures
From Witness Stund
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Frederick
j. Duquesne, So, who had testified
for two days to his exploits in far
wars of the world, suffered sudden
lapses of memory yesterday when
asked about his alleged anti-Amer-
lean activities in the current war as
German spy.
Rebuked by Federal Judge Morti-
mar w. Byers, and confronted with
a landslide of exhibits which the
Government says represents Du-
quesne's correspondence with Ham
burg Gestapo headquarters, and the
testimony Of eavesdropping Omen,
Duquesne pleaded that he was con-
fused and couldn't remember.
On the stand three days, it was
his first day under the searching
crosS-examination of United States
Attorney Harold M. Kennedy. Four
teen others are on trial with him
on espionage conspiracy charges.
He pleaded that he had been in
insane asylums twice. that he now
suffered from high blood pressure,
that he couldn't read without his
glasses and that the F. B. I. had
stolen some of his files and planted"
other papers among his effects.
On direct examination. he had
told of his early life in South Africa,
his military education in France,
Belgium and Scotland his service
to King Leopold in the Boer and
Russo-Japanese wars and the Bel
bian- British Congo dispute and his
travels throughout five continents
once as big-game adviser to Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt.
Didn't Theodore Roosevelt write
a denial on August 10, 1917, that he
had ever known you?" asked Mr..
Kennedy.
That was during the World War"
DuqueSne smiled.
WHAT" demanded the prose-
cutor.
Il was in an asylum then" Du-
quesne continued. He had been COM
mitted to Bellevue after his arrest
as German agent.
At various times. Judge Byers
threatened to adjudge the defendant
in contempt of court for his lectures
from the stand.

it dropped seemed to sway outward,

corpus petition appeared before
Justice David A. Pine In District
Court yesterday.
Seeing that the petitioner had no
lawyer to plead his cause, the jurist
asked If he desired the court to

"A lawyer wouldn't do me no
good" replied the petitioner.
I'll consider that as bearing on
your sanity" replied Justice Pine.
After the hearing, the man with
out a lawyer was sent back to St..
