the most enlightened and progressiva peo
ple It has ever shone upon.
The meeting then settled down to the
i work for which It had been assembled.
Secretary Branch read his report aTid was
followed by George P. Orde, the treasurer,
who reported upon the financial condition
of the society.
Frank W. Tracy, chairman of the com
mittee on uniform laws, submitted Its re
port' During the year two states had
adopted the negotiable Insurance law,
whMh Is now In force In twenty-three of
the states Florida, New York, Massachu

Carolina. Wisconsin, Tennessee, Ore
gon, Connecticut, Washington, Utah, Rhode
Island, North Dakota, Iowa, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Montana, Idaho, also
in Arlsona and' the District of Columbia.
The committee recommended ; that earnest
efforts be made to have the law passed next
winter' by Louisiana; Mississippi and Ver
mont. The currency committee made report as
follows: . . .
To the American Bankers' association:
-As' Instructed by the special currency
committee appointed at New Orleans to In
vestigate and. fejmrt on the present currency-system
'of the United States, the
chairman of this 'committee not being In
attendant at -this convention, I beg leave
to submit the following report:
Thero Js at present more real money In
the- United State than at any previous
period In-our history. Taking the country
altogether there is - no scarcity of money.
Including . United . States and national
bank notes, to- meet any legitimate de
mand of bualness. 'Compared with Sep
tember; 1 a year ago the national bank
ing circulation tuts Increased $62,827,561.
The general stock of money In the United
States September 1, 1803, .was as follows:
$1,1M7,731.M gold coin, ' Including bullion
in treasury.

1, MuL , . '.
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withdrawn from the banks for cus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ity from which It has been withdrawn.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

dissent from the recommendation for the
repeal of the law reHtrictlng the redemption
of national bank circulation to $3,000,000 a.
rhohth, for the reason, chiefly, that It seems
to me to be Inconsistent to In the same
report " recommend a method for an In
creased circulation and to Insert a pro
vision urging a means by which the circu
lation may be at any time diminished.
With the exception of this dissent the
foregoing report has my hearty concur
rence. OEOROE Q. WHITNEY.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMEB R. BRANCH. Secretary.
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

constitutional amendment argued that the
amendment should go over for another
year. The motion to refer It to the ex
ecutive council was lost.
'The report of the committee on bureau

Changes had been made during the year
and that the work of the bureau had been

day's session. His subject was "Money

He pointed out that the dally money or

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

until the money orders Issued by banks
could be caahed anywhere, little progress
would be made.

NEW TORK, Oct. 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.
Mr. Nixon testified that Mr. Schwab
had said, that ha wanted some of the pro-

missionary work. Prof. Carruth made ths
president's address on "Unitarian In Ortho
dox Churches," after which Rev. John Day
of St. Loula closed the morning cession
with devotional servicer.
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. This acquired
hypocrisy had Infected all pubtlo life.
NO OLD SETTLERS' CLUB YET
Dr. George L. Miller Corrects False
-- - Impression Derived from Con
flicting; Reports.
OMAHA", Oct. 21. 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.
