DENVER , Aug. 21. The second day's ses
sion of the twenty-fourth annual convention
of the American Bankers' association was
railed to order by President Homlrlcks at
10 o'clock , with pnlctlcally a full attendance
of delegates. Prayer wns offered by Hcv.
H. Mnrtln Hart , dcnn of St. John's ca
thedral. Today's session was devoted to a
discussion ot practical banking questions ,
There were four general subjects under dis
cussion , thirty minutes being allotted for
each and only flvc-mlnuto speeches being
allowed. The first subject was "Patriotic
Spirit of Bnnkurs. " The discussion was
opened by J. D. Powers , president of the
First Notional bank ot Owonsboro , Ky.
A call of states came first on the day's
program , brief statements being made by
rcpit-scntatlvq hankers on general business
conditions. Without * exception reports ot
unusual prospcilty came from all parts ot
the country.
' Robert J , Lowry iof the Lowry Banking
company , Atlanta , Ga. , followed Mr. Powers
In a paper showing that , bankers have ever
been ready to sustain the government with
their treasure nnd their blood. He said
that If very other moneyed class paid aa
just 'a proportion ot taxes as the bankers
the rates of taxation would not be one-third
hat they are.
"The Country Ilnnkor. "
William S. Wltham of Atlanta , speaking of
' 'ThoCountry .Banker , " said :
'When we began giving banking facilities
to rural districts , our critics were legion nnd
many friends predicted disaster. That has
all been changed by the past ten years of
unequalled success. I can cite you to a
number 6t corporations In the United States
which successfully run hundreds of
bVanehes. Does not the telephone and the
veitlbulcd trains ot this electric age multi
ply one's capacity ? The fact Is banking as
well as other lines of business must take
on progressive methods. Castor oil la not
now given In a tea cup , It Is capsuled , A
ejxty-dny bank note was oncp the limit , but
now a six-months' note solU as readily. H
U not unprofessional now for tlie Danker to
tuUertlsp'hlB wares and drum for tra'Io , It
Is not inconsistent with conservative bankIng -
Ing lo contract for the future dcllvury cf
money aa the merchant does for goods. The
severity of the panic cf ' 93 with Its disas
ters can never be repeated In this country ,
because Of the now methods ot banking and
because thu clearing houses ot money cen
ters have n remedy for panics.
In n town of 1,000 population employ $ lli-

beloved republic upon the successful conduct
of tie war and ( up brilliant achievements
ot our army and navy nnd the prospect
of peaco. "
The motion carried unanimously.
Arthur C. Anderson ot St. Paul spoke
about the "Practicable Safeguards Against
Check Raising. " He said the point of dan
ger in the matter of raising drafts was that
it Is the common practice to use the same
bet ot blanks for the largest and smallest
drafts , the vignette being the same , the
paper Identical and. the numbers consecutive
nothing.about the blanks- Indicate
whether IV. could be drawn ( or a , dollar or
for , thousands. Ills experiments and Inves
tigation pointed very clcarlyi to'the. . fact
that nothing could either be prlitcd ? or
written on paper that could not also bo
removed from It. The , protections now in
use were/by no means worthless , but singly
or in combination they might be said to
have been "weighed In the balance and
found "wanting. " If they were to get genu-
lnof protection protection that 'protects he
believed they must look for It below the
surface ot the paper. As $30 might be said
to bo the maximum amount for which drafts
were bought for the purpose of alteration ,

.Mr. Andcrson'8 suggestion * wcra referred
lo the executive rouncll for such action as
It may decide upon. U was decided to con
tinue the educational committee , with an
appropriation to conduct Its work.
A humorous Incident ot the session was
the singing of the popular melody , "Hot
Tlmo In the Old Town , " by the members In
chorus. It was suggested by a gentleman
who had referred to the aliened origin of tbo
song In Cripple Creek. As he finished n lady
In ono ot the boxes sang In a clear voice the
first verso and then to the discomfiture of
the presiding officer the whole comentlon
lolned In the chorus. The afternoon was de-
xotcd to a trolley rldo around the city. A
smoker was given nt night at the Denver
Wheel club.
Trimt Company Section Mectn.
The trust company section of the associa
tion WOB held at the Denver club. In the
absence of Chairman Francis Unngs of Now
York the meeting was called to order by
Hrccklnridgo Jones of St. Louis , chairman
of the executive committee.
After the report of the executive committee
a technical paper on "The Duties nnd Lia
bilities of Trust Companies Acting as Trans
fer Agents and Registrars" was read by
Felix Unckermnn , counsel for the Old Colony
Trust company of Boston. Many legal prob
lems were carefully considered nnd eluci
dated. This was followed by flve-mlnuto
talks of "Why Trust Companies Are Hotter
Equipped Than Individuals to Act In Trust
Capacities ; the Nature and Extent ot Their
Duties. "
Arthur Heurtley , secretary of the North
ern Trust company , Chicago , spoke on
'Trust Companies as Trustees Under Pri
vate Agreement. " The points of superiority
ot trust companies over Individual trustees
given were stability , security , experience
and capability. F. D. Olbson , In treating the
matter of "Trust Companies as Executors
and Administrators , " said : "We need not
ook far for the reason why trust companies
are the best administrators. They have
arge capital and a constantly Increa3lng sur
plus and their Investments are conservative
and secure ; no sort of speculation enters
Into their business affairs ; fidelity and con
servatism are cardinal principles governing
all their acts and their officers are trained
nnd experienced in the discharge of their
duties. "
Anton G. Hodenpyl spoke of trust com
panies "as guardians of minors and Incom
petent persons. " Individual guardians , ho
said , caused trouble by mingling their own
Funds with these of their A-ards , neglected
their duties on account of personal business ,
made poor Investments , became Irresponsible
or died , or were biased In judgment by their
feelings. These faults could never bo
charged to trust companies. John H. Hollt-
day , president of the Union Trust company
of Indianapolis , spoke ot "trust companies
as assignees and receivers. " He said :
"To sum up , the trust company Is superior
to the Individual In the capacity of assignee
and receiver , because It Is permanent nnd
responsible ; It represents organized ability
and experience ; It has financial strength , It
works more economically and quickly , It has
standing and commands respect. "
W. E. Fish made much the same argu
ments In favor of the "trust company as
trustee under will. "
Frederick Vlorllng , trust officer of the
Mississippi Valley Trust company , St. Louis ,
read an exhaustive paper on "The Invest-
nient of Trust Funds by Trust Companies. "

GAGE FOR CAMI OU.MA'S GOVEUXOn.
Conxt IlepubllcnnH 1'lcdnc Ilenre-
cntnttvcn to Favor Adequate Navy.
SACRAMENTO. Cal. , Aug. 24. The state
republican convention to-day nominated
Hen y , Gage , a Los Angeles attorney , for
governor. Gage had only one opponent
George C. Pardee , of Oakland who , before
a "ballot was taken , withdrew In favor of
Gage. The nomination was then made for
Gage by acclamation.
The platform , which was adopted unani
mously , reaffirms adherence to the national
platform adopted In St. Louis In 1S96 , and
extends the thanks of the republican party
to the sailors and soldiers of the army and
navy. Sampson , Schley , Hobson , Wheeler
and Lawton are complimented , and express
tribute la paid to the navy. California sen
ators and representatives ot congress are
pledged to vote and work for the building
of an adequate navy , and Insist that a part
thereof be constructed on the Pacific coast.
A glowing tribute Is paid to President Mc-
Klnley , and the people of the'United States
are congratulated that the broad American
policy of the president Ims dissipated all
sectional Issues. Belief In the financial plank
of the republican platform of 1896 la re
affirmed , and the administration Is urged to
secure an International monetary agreement
whenever an opportunity tolo , so shall bo
presented. President McKlnley4 Is com
mended for his refusal to consider any
proposition to look Into the assumption of
the Spanish-Cuban debt. The declared pol
icy1 of the president to accord to the people
ot Cuba an opportunity to form a stable
government , thus redeeming the promise
made to the world , Is indorsed , but the
platform demands the annexation of tbo
Island of Porto Rico and other West India
Islands and ot the Philippines. The ac
quisition ot Hawaii IB rejoiced In. The rec
ords of the republican representatives in
congress are Indorsed , and the building Of
the Nicaragua canal is demanded. The plat
form favors the foreclosure ot the mort
gages of the Pacific railroads by the gov
ernment , unless the Indebtedness Is .ild.
The platform demands hat congress pass
an exclusion act prohibiting further Japan-
cie and coolie Immigration , and that such
exclusion .act shall prohibit both the Jap
anese and Chinese not located at the Ha
waiian Islands from entering the United
States , The platform touches upon a num
ber of local state Issues , and closes with an
Indorsement of the work of the state league
Of republican clubs.
The Second congressional district con
vention to-day nominated Frank Ryan for
congress.
