Ia the opinion of your committee the most series need Is-the reform of the sub-treasury system In such wine .that (he money .withdrawn from the banks for cus tom idutles, as well as Internal revenues, shall be deposited In the banks and thus be made available for use In the commun ity from which It has been withdrawn. Emergency circulation could. within careful limltationa, be safely permitted upon the aotual deposit with the Treasury department of securities acceptable to the secretary of the treasury. And upon such deposits... circulation ...could be Issued promptly " to meet aotual emergencies, which would not be possible If time were . taken for the examination of general .assets by the secretary of the treasury and i oompirouer of the currency A tax of. 6 be imposed per cent per annum should upon such emergency circulation to Insure '.ana .Hasten its rsturn to the issuing Dank: this tax to be set aside as a safety fund jto secure the United States treasury for tthe redemption of notes so Issued. Thin emergency ciroulation should be Issued without any distinguishing mark from othsr national bank circulation sxoept to substitute the words "secured by bonds approved by the secretary of the treasury," Instead of the words "Bonds of the United States," for being amply aecured, there should bane discrimination against It be yond the I per cent tax. To further liberalise the circulation, your committee recommends that the United States tax on circulation should be uniform un the Issue of currency based , on sll olssses of United Statea government bonds. ' In 'he judgment of your committee these .mortification of law can bo authorised without damage or discredit to the na tional bank circulation, but your com mittee cannot recommend any step that will tsa towsrd a return to the mlscella sieoua circulation which prevailed In the country before the war, or any step which iWtll disregard ths history of finance among the commercial nation of ths world, nor can It recommend thst any note should Issued without the certainty of It re 4mptlon in standard coin of the United &l tea. , The above renort Is signed by CHARLF.S 8 FAIRCHILD, , .

Secretary Branch showed that the mem bership Is 7,621 with annual dues amounting to $76.518. ' The past year $08 members were lost through failures and withdrawal, but to offset this loss, 1,139 new members were placed on the roll. E. F. Swlnney, chairman of the executive committee, In preaentlng the report of the committee council, said that the main Item of expense of the association arises from the work of the protection committee In preventing and detecting crime. The com mittee advocated an Increase of dues, grad uated according to capitalization. The plan of .creating a guaranty association, which would include banks and employes, and which would reimburse members for losses occurring through dishonesty was not fa vored by the executive council. A resolu tion favoring a money order system for banks was approved. The practice of pay ing Interest on dally balancss waa not com mended. When the executive committee's report was read a resolution favoring an Increase of dues to add $33,000 to the Income of the association waa adopted. To Control Fidelity Bonds. The report of the committee on fidelity insurance provoked a very lively discus sion. The committee favored a plan whereby the association should bond its own employes and offered an amendment to this effect, creating an American Bank ers Guaranty fund, controlled by a board of five trustees to be appointed by the executive council. The committee declared that under the ' proposed plan members could be furnished Indemnity amply secured by ti truat fund and be given better pro tection than they now have, at a rate not exceeding one-third of thav avetnge rates . i -4. . ...

'The report of the committee on bureau of education showed that no radical Changes had been made during the year and that the work of the bureau had been devoted mainly to the Institute of Amer ican Bank Clerks. An address by L. P. Hlllyear, cashier of the American National bank of Macon, Oa., closed the regular business of the day's session. His subject was "Money Orders jot Bankers' Association."- He pointed out that the dally money or der business ' of the government and ex press companies amounted to $1,700,000, and advocated action by the association to se cure, the business of this popular method. He said the government would not feel competition by the banks, but held that until the money orders Issued by banks could be caahed anywhere, little progress would be made. names of Proposed Officers.

ZL Lewis Nixon, pres ident of the United States Shipbuilding company, was not called to the stand to testify at the opening of today's session of the Inquiry Into the affairs of the corpora tion, but Instead Charles Canda, who was president of ths Canda Manufacturing com pany, was the first witness. Before he gave any testimony Charles M. Schwab and Max Pam were sworn n witnesses. Mr. Canda testified that the company which bore his name and which was taken over by the Shipbuilding company had a plant at Carta ret, N. J. At the time the option on it was given It waa. engaged, he said, "In an experimental way making some motor vehicles." Hs said thirty .or forty men were employed at the time and that he thought 100 or more machines had been made. The witness produced a copy of the op tion. The agreement for the sale of the plant for $1,100,000 was made with f. W. Young, but the option waa given to Mr. Nixon. . The witness said the plant did no ship building, but the site and buildings could be used for certain of the combination's work. The Canda oompany received $200,000 In cash, $.100,000 In bonds, $.100,000 In pre ferred stock anjS $300,000 In common stock and paid no commission to anyone. The witness said the. Canda company had never Shown any earnings. Under cross-exami nation the witness testified that the Canda company had seventy-nve stocknoiaers. The $300,000 received in cash was used to pay certain Indebtedness. , The sum. was paid In three checks. - At this point James B- Dill, .counsel for the Truet Company of the Republic, pro duoed the checks. .One was for $100,000, an other for $87,000 and the third for $13,000. These checks were made payable to Lewis Nixon, endorsed by him and then handed to Mr, Canda. , - Lewis Nlxoa Testifies. ' Lewis Nixon succeeded Mr.' Canda on the stand. He told of the first attempts to consolidate the Shipyards In lMl. Andrew Freedman was the man who first proposed the combination, he ssld, and through hlin the witness met J. W. Young. The wit ness said the first plan of consolidation was handled by H. W. Poor A Co., but was brought out on a bad day and failed. The witness said he knew C. M. Schwab, who told him of his purchase of the Beth lehem company. The first direct proposal that the Bethlehem company be purchased by the United States Shipbuilding com pany was made In June, 1903. The witness then told of the meeting at the Lawyers' club In June, 1902, already detailed by D. Le Roy Dresser. Mr. Untermyer wanted to know If Mr. Schwab hod reported that the Bethlehem plant had earned $1,400,000 after paying the interest on underlying mortgage. Th question was objected to by Mr. Guthrie, The witness said he understood that above sum to be net earnings. Schwab told the witness that he had paid $7,400,000 for the plant This sum, with the earnings which had not been taken from the business, amounted to $9,000,000, the sum for which Mr. Schwab said he would ell.-' ' Mr, Dresser said W.000,000 was a large sunt a raise ' at' that time. The question of 'se- I curltlee then came up and Mr. Sohwab " rWhen we saw Mr Schwab again," con tinued Mr.' Nixon, "he sold we would have to give him $10,000,000 of each kind of stock beside the bond. Mr. Schwab said he had to give $3,600,000 of each kind of stock to J. P. Morgan A Co." Nothing was said as to why Morgan sV Co. were to receive the stock. Mr. Dresser aid he was willing to pay the price. -' -Klxoa Did Not Vuderstaad. Mr. Nixon could . not remember where .he had signed an agreement with J, P. Mor gan ft Co. for the sale In cash of th Beth lehem company. He had signed many .pa per at Dresser's office. The agreement had never been explained to. him and ha could not understand why he had been made a party to it. The witness said he had acted to the best interest of the shipbuilding company and with no idea of any gain for himself. He could not explain why, after the agree ment to purchase Bethlehem from Mr, Schwab for $10,000,000 In bonds, $10,000,000 In preferred stock and $10,000,000 In common stock had been made, an agreement was made with Morgan ft Co. to buy the plant for $7,300,000 In cash and $5,000,000 In stock. Mr. Nixon told of ths passing of ths check for $7,200,000 at the office of Morgan ft Co. "1 did not have the check long enough to see who signed it," said Mr. Nixon. "I do not even know who received the check." The original check was produced by Mr. Guthrie and after Identification by the wit ness and a wrangle between counsel was offered In evidence. The . check waa - for $7,191,791.4$ and was drawn in favor of D. Vt Rot D-easer and Lewis Nixon by C. M. Schwab, by hi attorney, Oliver Wren. The witness could not explain why while the agreement called for $7,346,000 the check Was for $7,191,791.48. Mr. Untermyer asked If there waa anyone at the meeting at the office of J. P. Morgan ft Oo. to protect the Interest of the ship building company, and th witness said hs and Mr. Dressor were there representing the company. He said he had read the i agreement and seen the stock. He did not examine the stock and understood It was later taken to one of the trust companies.

Prof. Carruth elaborated on two Ideas In his short address. First of these he held that with the exception of a few Individual congregations' the Unitarian church was the only church In which a man holding modern Idea of life and believing in mod ern scientific thought could be a member without hlpocrlsy. . The-, second Idea was that In present day life Insincerity Is Increasing and,, th prqfessor laid this to Uv. n'.Jiodox churches, the .follower of which were allowed to assume one thing while believing another.

To the Editor of Th Be: An Impression seems to xist that an Old Settlers' club waa recently organised In Omaha, This Is not' ' so.' The' Idea grew out of the gathering of aom of the oldest families. . .who have been asso ciated her forty or fifty years, In th home of Judge and Mr. George W. Doane In compliment to Mis Glllmore and her sister, Mrs. Hough of Chicago, who re sided here nearly fifty years since and who came out to their old home to visit Mrs. Joseph. Barker two or three weeks ago. On that occasion It waa suggested that the meeting of old associates. In the early life of Omaha. was so pleaaant that It would be a good thing to repeat, and I accordingly Invited all of Judge and Mr. Doane' guests and some other to meet In a wholly Infor mal, way at my home next Saturday even ing. And this Is all there la to the organisation of an old settlers' club, ao far. a I have any knowledge. If such a club were to be organised It could only be properly done by calling a public meeting for that purpose of person who lived here In the '80 s, 'to' or 'Wu, or St any other time that might be agreed upon, after careful consideration. Perhaps some of my guests Saturday evening may propose th organisation of 'such an asso ciation. GEORGE L. MILLER.
