With frvery city of moment In the country
having clearing house committees In opera
' tlon, some facts about the origin and power
I of these flnaaolal bodies Is of Umely In
terest. In the current Issue of the Inde
pendent, Alexander D. Noyes author of
"Thirty Tears of American Finance,"
sketches the growth snd business methods
jof the parent organisation, the New Tork
clearing house committee, and Its opera
tions during the recent financial troubles In
the metropolis. Mr. Novels paper follows:
For several days during this last week,
I the attention of the entire financial cont
jmunlty was converged on a committee of
five men. In whose hands lay decision as
to the continued solvency of an important
banking Institution. These five men made
up what la oommoaly called the ''clearing
heuae committee;" they are elected by the
banks of the clearing house, an Institution
where the New Tork banks exchange and
redeem each day the checks turned In to
them the day before ss deposits. All of the
larger New Tork City banks are members
of the Clearing House association, which,
therefore, embodies much of the bank capi
I tal and resources of the community. Early
Mast week the Mercantile National bank,
itself member of the clearing house,
reached a situation where It did aot see Its
way clear to meet Its obligations snd pay
the cash balances debited to It after the
dally clearings. It applied to the associated
banka for assistance, believing the cr'sls to
but temporary. Its request was placed
'at once In the hands of this committee of
five, who thereupon proceeded to examine
the tfooks and accounts of the Mercantile,
to Investigate Its loans, and to see what
.collateral stood behind them.
In the end their decision was that the
bank was solvent. In the sense that It
was able to meet Its obligations If It could
j surmount the momentary difficulty. The
clearing house committee thereupon a treed
that the requisite assistance should be ex-
,v tended, and for thst purpose assessed a
certain number of bsnks In the clearing
house membership amounts sufficient to
meet the dally balances against the Mer
cantile so long as such aid should be im
perative. But before granting this assist
ance In behalf of the associated banks, the
committee of five stipulated that the entire
board of directors, not only of the Mercan
tile, but of several affiliated Institutes,
should resign, that Its president should re
tire, and that certain offlcera prominently
Identified with Ita management shou'd v'rtu
ally withdraw from the banking field In
New Tork City. These were drastic re
quirements; they were approved by the
banking community as a whole, which was
well aware that the difficulties had been
caused by Improper use at the hands of
directors cf bank resources. To the stipu
lation thus laid down the Mercantile and
the other Institutions were compelled to
give assent; that' was the manifest price of
solvency. It may therefore be said that five
men In New Tork City assumed dictatorial
powers over an Institution, with tl2.000.000
deposits, with which none of them was
.connected, and compelled' Its owners to
'surrender their offices and to remodel radi
cally their bank practices.
Makeas attfce Casaawtttew, ,
Buch an event makes It Interesting tip
ask who these Ave committeemen are and
how their committee came to enjoy any
such broad powers. The members of the
present clearing house committee are:
James T. Woodward, president of the
i Hanover National bank; William A. Nash,
! president of the Corn Exchange bank; Du
j niont Clarke, president of the Amer'can
.Exchange; Edward Townsend. president of
I the Importers and Tradera; A. B. Hepburn,
president of the Chase National; and with
them has acted Alexander Gilbert, president
of the Market and Fulton bank, who la
president of the clearing house and member
of the committee ex officio. Theae men are
all veterans In New Tork bank finance;
their experience has covered other periods
when bank conditions were even more seri
ously disturbed than they are today. They
Inspire confidence In the future of banking
In this city In spite of the present stress.
Nona of them ever gave way to the delu
alona which afflicted Wall atreet, and with
It a' large part of the banking community,
at the time of the great boom of 1901, when
the aaylng waa prevalent on all financial
markets that we had reached a "new era
In American finance." Bankers of this
class, representing largely an older genera
tion, were very generally mentioned with
'something like Indifference by the financiers
and captains of Industry who came to the
tfront of the stage la thoae brilliant times.
A somewhat pitying reference te "old-fogy
Ideas In banking" was frequently the most
that one could get from the lesdlng actors
of tha day. In tha way of comment on the
Ideas and attitude of such men as these.
There were people even then, however,
who ventured the hint that the time would
come when our captains of Industry and
so-called "progressive bankers'' would le
glad to knock at the doors of the old-fogy
bankers for practical advice and for even
'more practical assistance, when the new
order of financiers encountered their In
evitable troubles. ' That time .arrived laat
week.
Peeallar Powers.
The powers of the clearing house com
mittee are peculiar. On the face of things,
the clearing house la simply an institu
tion designed, as the association's con
stitution declares, for "the effecting at
one place of the dally exchangee betwoea
the sevsral associated banka, and the pay
ment at the same place of the balances
resulting from such exchanges." This
would appear to be a perfunctory opera
lion,' Involving no dictatorial powers, aad
such. In fact, Is the nature of the clear
ing house In most Important financial cap
itals of the world. Early In New York
backing history, however. It was discov
ered that some regulating and controlling
Influence must be exerted, even on re
sponsible financial Institutions; that, in
x particular, the constant recurrence of oc
! caslons when soma banka would have to
go to the assistance of others required
the constant presence of a committee with
power to act liamediately In the circum
stances. In London the Bank of England, a cen
tral Institution holding the reserve bal
ances of the great Joint stock hanks of
that city. Itself performs precisely this
office. It was the Bank of ' England,
through Its governos, Mr. Lidderdale,
which Intervened In November, 110, to
compel the banka of London to unite In
guaranteeing the a sets of Baring Bros,
who, without such help, most have gone
down In complete Insolvency. To come
down to more recent Umea. It waa the
Bank of England which. In August of last
yar. Interfered peremptorily with the
rash advances of capital by the Loudon
banks te the Wall street market, and
which, by fixing Its own discount rule
at per rent end forcing the general
money rate clove to that Cgure, rendered
the American borrowing operations too
costly to be continued. It was again the
Bank of England which last August, un
der circumstances even now not widely
understood, stepped In the breach to stop
1 Incipient panic and compel certain London
banks to accept the drafts of a banking
house with American 'connections' which.
In a moment of nervous fright, had been
refused accommodation. Somewhat the
same function Is performed by the great
state banks of continental capltala; the
fact that noKuch Institution exists In the
United States is no doubt the explanation
of the peculiar powers enjoyed by the
New Tork clearing house committee.
. UevlaBlna- of toaa Certltcatea.
In the original constitution of the clear-
I Ing house this committee of five had laid
j upon it only such routine duties as tho
caring for the clearing house building, the
establishment of rules and regulations re-
gardlng check exchanges, and the appolnt
j ment of a manager. They were also em
; powered, however, "generally to supervise
clearing house affairs," and from this au-
thorlty rather broad, powers were drawn,
as long ago as the panic of 1S72. In the
stress of that episode, numerous importsnt
Institutions, solvent on their books, were
brought to the verge of bankruptcy
through a run of depositors or through
absolute Inability to procure cash. They
could not meet their dally balances st the'
clearing house, and failure to meet those
balances would have meant necessarily
declaration of their Insolvency and the"
closing of their doors. Under such circum
stances the clearing house committee de
vised the plan of what were then called
"clearing house loan certificates" which
meant thst any bank, solvent but lacking
cash to meet Its balances, should place itr
assets In the hands of the clearing house
committee, and that, In proportion to the
sound assets thus deposited, such bank
should be allotted certificates mat so much
credit had been loaned to It by the as
sociated banka as a whole. These certifi
cates they were allowed to employ In lieu
of cash In making dally exchanges at the
clearing honse. In effect this expedient
meant the lending of cash resources by
banks In an easy position to other Institu
tions which happened to be hard pressed.
In 1S73 126,563,000 In such certificates were
Issued. In the May panic of 1SS4, an epi
sode which In many respects resembled
that of the present month', S24.91SO0O were
issued. During the Baring panic of No
vember, 1890, tho clearing house committee
authorized $15,205,000, nnd In the very severe
flnsnclal strain of 1NS3 the amount thus
granted rose to $38,2SO,00O, thus surpassing
all other records. Precautions were natur
ally taken to ensure the redemption of
these certificates In cash as soon as the
situation returned to equilibrium, this being
done through Imposition of a high rate
of InteVest charged against the bank on
all such certificates outstanding on Its
chsrge.
Valoe of Unity.
8o far the powers of 1 the clearing house
committee regarding united action by the
banka are manifest; it is I only within a
comparatively recent period, however, that
the committee has. had the right to do
exactly what It did In tire case of the
Mercantile bank namely, to enter the sus
pected Institution, examine its books and
decide on Us future fate. This interes.lnj
' power waa conferred by the associated
banks as a result of certain experiences
I in the panio of May, 1S84, when It was
clearly manifest that disasters which be
came unavoidable would have been averted
had the committee possessed the right to
lnvesligato what was going on. An
amendment, adopted In the ensuing month'
authorised the clearing houae committee
to examine any bank In the association
whenever it considered such examination to
be for the Interest of the associated banks
In general, and to require from such bank
the surrender of tts securities for purposes
of protection. It ,wl(l be observed that thla
authority1 was conferred by the vote of
all the banks In the clearing house mem
bership; therefore each of these institu
tions voluntarily submitted itself to a
possible examination of the sort. On oc
casions since that time small banks under
suspicion by depositors or by the banking
department have been taxen In hand. In
exactly this way by the clearing house
committee. How the authority was applied
In the esse of the Mercantile ' National
bank has already been shown. It will bo
observed that the stipulations made re
garding the officers and dlrectora of the
banka examined went apparently beyond
the letter of the powers conferred on the
clearing house committee. As a matter
of fact, however, they were a necessary
Incident to such powers; for In any case
the committee of five retained the right
to refuse to take the bank's affairs hi
hand for protective purposes and the de
mands made on the directors were the
simple price of such action by ths com
mittee. Beneficial Heaalta.
In short, it may be said that while the
actions of this committee during the last
week ' were In their nature dictatorial,
they represented a perfectly aound and
correct adjustment of the machinery of
the associated banks to the urgent needs
of the occasion. There can. be little doubt
that lu a possible emergency those
powers would be carried even further.
During the panic of 1893, the committee
named by the clearing house practically
held In Its hands, under the expert leader
ship of the late Frederick D. Tappen, tha
fortunes of half the New Tork banks.
The brilliant manner in which, the com
mittee then acquitted Itself of the heavy
responsibilities placed upon It loft the
banking community ready to trust its for
tunes In all future exigencies to such
hands.
- It need only be said. In concluding,
that membership on this committee, while
greatly esteemed by all -officers In the
New Tork banks, Is conferred only on
those whose experience and conservatism
warrant the entrusting to them of su-h
weighty duties. In thla, the banka as a
whole have shown thst none of them
seriously shared in the financial delusions
of the last six years. They were well
aware that old principles of conservative
banking had not been overturned by the
luck which followed the speculative ex
cesses of 19ul and ISos. Tlie episode of
this month Is certain to put an end for
ever to the notion that the American
financial community had grown six years
ago, or even hereafter can grow, beyond
the need for cloae supervision at the
hands of old-fashioned bankers.

Just when least expected. Thoroughly

line, It outdoea such other English offer
ings as we have had. "Ban Toy," "The
Chinese Honeymoon," "The Bllver Slipper."
and the like so far that one wonders the
British public ever stood for tt, ' It Is
bright, and snappy, and full of roll'cklng
good humor and much catchy music and
some that is really pretty. It Is atscad
along linos that are somewhat different.
Just about the time one Is Veady to vote
It a bit stiff and likely to become tiresome,
the stajge manager switches dff one set of
, lights and turns on another, and behold,
you are given a most .delightful surprise.
I In one song the lights are little pocket flash
lamps that merely illumine the faces, and
the effect la pleasing In the extreme. A
"moon" song also is accompanied by some
tricks of lighting that prove very fetching.
Its costuming does not run to the riot of
color so popular -with American stage di
rectors, but shows enough of warmth and
richness ' to avoid any suggestion that it
has been neglected In this regard.
Of , course It has a story: .A certain
Thomas Atkins has deserted from his regi
ment in India and stolen the daughter of
a noble lady. This deserter becomes a
faker, and the girl grows Into a beauty
whose poetic name signifies "The Blue
Moon." Her supposed father has he
trot lied her to a native potentate, but she
has given her heart to a young Brit sh
officer, whom she happened to meet. Pri
vate Charles Taylor by accident succeeds
In unooverlng the true state of affaire, and
all live happily ever after. But around this
skeleton much of good humored foolery and
quite lltle genuine humor is hung, and
even the stately measured tread of the reg
ulation London "wheeie" Is softened and
to some extent accelerated by the actions
of the company. ;
James T. Powers, once lovingly referred
to as Jimmy, Is the chief high spot. As
Private Taylor, he Is all sorts -of things
,that are funny, never forgetting for a mo
1 ment that he ia impersonating one of those
bulwarks of Britannia's greatness. Ills
humor Is quaint, clean and delightful,

, She does a specialty with Mt. Powers that
1 la a scream, and the uproar that followed
It last night nearly stopped the show for
a time. Miss Lucy Jane Johnson doesn't

The bill opens with a European equili
brist Ic number by the Ruppelts, a pair of
sensational acrobats, with some very clever
Ideaa In displaying their skill, one of which
consists of the balancing of a platform on
the shoulders of Ruppelt while the lady
turns a score or more of rapid handsprings
on It. The Farrell-Taylor trio are leaders
among the mirth-makers In their skit
called "The Minstrel Man," In which some
very clever black-faced comedy la mlngMI
with several good minstrel songs and
dances. Emma Francis snd her two Arabs
have an athletic and dancing etunt tn
which they out-whir! a whirling dervish.
Miss FYs nets also demonstrates her skill
ss a tlnb dancer. Emll Hubert, Who has
left minstrelsy to go Into vaudeville, kept
the audience Jumping, mentally speaking,
with his rapid fire monologue, alternating
with popular songs. t
The topnotchers of the bill are Homer
B. Mason and Marguerite Keeler, who pre
sent a one-act sketch In which Mr. Mason
Is the whole show as Spider McCann, a
retired prise fighter. Mr. Mason's bowery
slang Is what gives the piece Its right to
exist, though some very funny comedy Is
worked In the other psrta The bill closes
with something novel In oriental magic by
the Oklto family. The number Is given
with some heavy apparatus and the Illu
sions and delusions keep the audience In
a marveling frame of mind. The pictures
are of an unusually high order.
