BRINGS IN MAM BANKERS Group One of Iowa Bankers' Association Holds Interesting Session, LAWYERS TELL THEM OF SOME "OON'TS" Shonld Confine Themselves to the Banking; Easiness and Tars Peo ple with Troable Over to the Lawyers. The members of group No. 1 of the Iowa State Backers' association, at its anual meeting In tbls city yesterday, placed themselves on record as being opposed to the Fowler banking bill now before con gress, especially the feature of the bill relating to branch banking. This resolu- tlon was adopted and copies ordered sent to the Iowa senators and representatives: j Resolved, That It Is vrie sense of this ' ?.!?!'0P.?.Lb."k tlon by congress, known as the Fowler bill, will not tend, ir enacted Into law, to ad vance the best good of the business In terests of the people of this country, espe cially that feature of the bill relating to branch banking, and we hereby request our senators and representatives from this state to use their influence against the en actment of this proposed bill into law. This action was taken following the read ing by D. L. Hetnshetmer ot the Mills County National bank of Glenwood ot a paper on the proposed new banking bill, which has been reported favorably by the banking and currency committee of the senate. Mr. Helnshelmer gave It as his opinion that the bill If adopted will pro- duce the most radical changes In the banks and commercial system ever made. He said: "While It Is true that radical meas ures are at times necessary. It Is also true that they should be given the most care ful attention before adoption. At this par ticular time, a period ot speculation In every Industry prevailing, the utmost pre caution should be taken. It may be argued that it Is easier to make radical changes In times of prosperity, yet the history of financial panics, without exception, prove that financial panics follow closely and are to be feared most during periods ot finan cial prosperity." Meeting- Well Attended. The meeting yesterday was the best at tended since the organization of the group, three years ago. Chairman E. F. Wenti of Oakland presided. Judge J. R. Reed, president of tbe Commercial National bank of Council Bluffs, opened the meeting with a short address of welcome, which was re sponded to by Thomas H. Reed of the First National bank of Shenandoah, in the ab sence of Pr. S. J. Patterson of Dunlap. Attorney Frank Shlnn of Carson, who had been Invited to address the meeting on "Advice; in Giving Same to Patrons0' the suit In Colorado without tbe at Where Does the Province of the Banker End and that ot tbe Lawyer Begin," was unable to be present, but the paper which he bad prepared on tbe subject was read by S. C. Campbell of Carson. Vice President Beresbelm of the Council Bluffs Savings bank discussed the question, "Is the Recent Increase In Banks Likely to be Permanent," and) this closed tbe morn ing session. ; Election of Officers. The election ot officers at the afternoon session resulted In E. F. Wenti ot Oakland being elected chairman of the group for the third successive year. T. K. Elliott ot Es sex was re-elected secretary. These were elected as the executive committee: Ernest E. Hart, Council Bluffs; C. E. Price, Coun cil Bluffs; 8. J. Patterson, Dunlap; D. L. Helnshelmer, Glenwood; L. F. Potter, Har lan. 8. C. Campbell of Carson discussed "The Financial Outlook," which he thought was not unfavorable, but he cautioned bankers to "make haste slowly." Tbe discussion of whether the group system had been a success by L. F. Potter of Harlan elicited the opinion that while the attendance at the meetings heretofore had been disap pointing, the bankers belonging to the group had undoubtedly derived benefit from such membership. Tbomas H. Read of Shenandoah advised the bankers to continue opposition to the monopoly of the express company by send ing currency insured by registered mall. He stated the expense was about one-half and with tbe Insurance just as secure. He mentioned that the use ot the registered jiall by bankers had induced the express companies to agree to be responsible for incomplete currency the same as completed currency. At the roundtable, conducted by 8. C. Campbell of Carson, these questions were discussed: "Burglary Insurance," "How to Avoid Overdrafts," "8hould tht Has by Customers of Their Own Checks In Pay ment ot Bills Away From Home be Dis couraged?" "What Plan Can be Adopted to Secure for the Bank the Exchinge It Should Have on Drafts Sold, and Bow Best Regulate tbe Charge Therefor Between Competing Banks?" "How to Best Educate the Public to Refuse to Endorse Drafts, or How to Reduce the Number of Bogus Drsfts Passed?" "Has the Sending of Currency by Insured Registered Mall Proven Satis factory?" "Are Chattel Mortgages Desira ble as Security for Bank Loans, and Is it Desirable for Commercial Banks to Loan on Real Estate?" "Would It be Good Policy to Abolish Par Points tor Collection and to Abolish Paying Interest on Dally Balances?" "Should Banks Buy Paper by Cure-all Doctors, Life Insurance Agents, Book Agents, etc.?" Bankers In Attendance. Among those In attendance were: E. F. Weatt, Cltltens' State bank, Oakland; E. M. Suart. Spaltl Bros.' bank, Oakland; D. L. Helnshelmer, Mills County National bank, Olenwood; H. M. Bostwick, First Na tional bank, Woodbine; R. M. Bhlpman, Farmers' bank, Emerson; E. E.

BASES OF CANAL AGREEMENT Colombia Granta I'nlted States Ex clusive Right to Build, Operate and Proteet. WASHINGTON, April 24. There have been some recent communications between Secretary Hay and the Colombian minister, Mr. Concha, containing the bases of an agreement between the two countries In the event congress should authorize tbe construction of a canal across the Isthmus ot Panama. The first of these communi cations was from the Colombian minister and contained propositions of his govern ment as to the terms, concession, grants and compensation, on which Colombia would consent to the construction of the canal, In reply to which Secretary Hay transmitted a memorandum of a hypothet ical and conditional nature as to what tbia g overnment would do in tbe event that con gress authorized tbe president to act. Tbe secretary's memorandum was sent to Senor CoDcha today. The purpose, of the communlcatlona was to remove room for doubt as to what each government would do It a canal was di rected to be built. ' Tbe following authorized atatement con cerning the propositions of Colcmbla as they stand amended was made public today: The United States Is granted exclusive right to construct, operate and protect a canal, as well as all railroads, telegraph and telephone lines and auxiliary works within the sone. The sone Is six miles wide and Includes the islands of Flamlnco, Naoa and Perlco, in Panama bay. It ia to be under the joint Judicial control ot the United States and Colombia. Colombia gives unqualified consent to the sMe and transfer of the Panama Canal company's rights to the United States and exempts the latter country from all taxes, import duties, etc. She grants to the United States a leaae of the canal strip In per petuity. For convenience, It Is divided Into periods of 100 years, renewable at the option of the United States. Colombia asks for a lump payment of 17,000,00 after the exchange of ratifications, to be con sidered ss "on account." For fourteen years Colombia waives all compensation for the canal rights. This period will more than cover the time of construction. At the end of the fourteen-year period the annual compensation which the I'nlted State shall pay thereafter shall be de termined by a board of Ave commissioners. The fact that Colombia has asked no com penaatlon for the first fourteen years and that the United States haa advanced $7,0). 000 "on account" will both be taken Into consideration In fixing the annual rentul thereafter, BRYAN AND HILL IN HARMONY Bitter Political Foes Are la Accord on One Isaaa nt Least.
