NEW STATE BANK MAY COME
This May Be Result of City Sarings
Becoming National..
DIRECTORS WANT BIG CHARTER
Flack Bank Holds Many City Mort
ltaea, Which Will Have to Re
gold, sind Thla Snairreta
Another State Hank.
While the directors, of the City Savings
bank have taken no action of a binding
nature In the move to make the bank a
national Institution, it was practically de
cided at a meeting held at Hanson's cat--Wednesday
evening and meetings held
Thursday to apply for a national charter
within a short time
When the action Is tsken the City Sav
ings bank probably will be known as the
City National bank In order not to lose
Its Identity and a reputation It has been
years In making. The plan will be to
have a savlnngs department, such ss the
largest and nest national barks In the coun
try maintain, that small depositors and,
those who wish to draw Interest on ac
counts may be accommodated.
At present the City Savings bank holds
a large amount of high-class farm and city
mortgages. All these will be sold when the
bsnk takes out a charter, as a national
bank cannot take mortgages on real estate.
This will mean a large amount of securi
ties will be placed on the market and will
make business pick up for some little time
in the mortgage and Investment business.
When the savings department Is opened
only high-class bonds will be taken as
collateral for loans, and one of the large
loaners on Tarm and city property will not
be able to make such loans In the future.
This gives rise to the supposition that at
least one more state bank will be organ
ized In Omaha and perhaps more.
TALK OF MENTAL AND
SPIRITUAL HEALING
Mstht Session of Episcopal Conferenee
Discusses the F.mmanuel
Movement.
BOSTON, May 13. An attempt by so
called radicals In the church to have mem
bers of the other denominations Invited to
deliver addresses was defeated today by the
general committee in charge of the Episco
pal Church congress.
At tonight's session was discussed the
subject of psychotherapy as embodied in
the Emmanuel movement, a system of
mental and spiritual healing. Psychothera
plc work as an aid to pastoral work was
defended by Rev. Lyman P. Powell of
Northampton, Maps.
Dr. Thomas Darlington, health officer of
New York City, held a dissenting opinion.
Rev. Mr. Powell said:
"The Emmanuel movement Is the first
Intelligent and systematic effort I to save
psyschotherapy to scientific medicine by
placing the responsibility on the doctor for
the determination of the times and Instances
In which It Is to be employed, to save It
from appropriation to the uses of schis
matic cults by re-enforclng it .with faitn
common to the Catholic and Protestant
alike."
Dr. Darlington said:
"The danger of the movement Is not to
the medical profession, but to the church.
The church has at many times in the past
suffered from quackery. If psyschotherapy
becomes a function of the church, the op
portunities of such people are multiplied."

CONGRESSMAN SMITH BLUNT
Tells Bankers Guaranty Law is Com
ing; in Near Future.
ALSO POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Bankers Advised Not to Leave Draw
ing of the Uw to Politicians,
bnt to Jump In and Aid
In Making; It.
Rankers of southwestern Iowa who gath
ered at the Grand. hotel yesterday for the
annual meeting of group 5 of the - Iowa
State Bankers' association were told In
plain language by Congressman Walter I.
Smith that they might look for both guar
anty laws and postal savings banks in the
near future and that the sooner they real
ized this the better.
Mr. Smith had been Invited to address
the meeting on the question, "Should Bank
ers Aid In the Preparation of the Postal
Savings Bank Bill?" He advised them that
they should. "It will be the part of wis
dom, almost self-preservation," said Judge
Smith, "if the bankers of this country
cease devoting their time to fighting such
a law and Join In the work of securing
the very best measure possible.
"If there Is any class of men able to
comprehend the requirements of such a
law, a law that will Inflict, the least dam
age upon the financial institutions of the
country, it Is the bankers of the coun
try. If you leave the drawing of the meas
ure wholly to politicians, as you call them,
refusing them tho assistance of your
knowledge and wisdom, the law as finally
framed will be far less acceptable to you.
It Is your province to suggest a way to
prevent the draining of one part of the
country of the currency and prevent the
escape of a large percentage or the capi
tal from its share of responsibility for
debt paying and taxes. It is not merely
question of the coming of the postal
savings bank, but of the cnaracter of the
law that will create it. Every country In
Europe has it, and the idea Is uppermost
In the minds of many of the people of this
country.
"The guaranty plan ts meeting with
much favor, not only where it has been
adopted, but In almost all of the western
states. I am Inclined to believe that it
will probably become general before con
gress has framed the best kind of a postal
savings bink measure. If the bankers con
tinue to place themselves In the attitude
of opposing these two measures they will
simply Increase popular clamor for the en
actment of both."
Chairman Hnnter Disagrees.
James Hunter of Mlnd-n, chairman of
group five, who presided over the meeting,
did not take the same view of thu situa
tion as did Congressman Smith. In his
opening remarks Mr. Hunter said: "There
have been some changes In the sentiments
of the group, when most of the members,
taking It for granted that the people had
accepted the lead of the politicians and
that a law In Iowa calling for the guaranty
of deposits In all or ths state banks was a
certainty, had accepted what they thought
was the Inevitable and went home to figure
the extra cost. But the people do not seem
to have followed the politicians and now
about all we hear concerning the proposed
law are declarations that It Is Inimical to
the nest Interests of the people as well as
of the bankers, and that Its enactment is
In the far off distance."
In the general discussion which followed
visiting bankers from Omaha were Invited
to uxprtss theli opinions. Mr. Eastman of
the Omaha National bank said that so far
he law In Nebraska had not developed any
