American Association Begins Annual
Convention in Chicago.
BILL OF LADING PROBLEM
fcaeentlve Cooncll i renters with
Snippers and Railroads and
Drafts' Form for Ilseo
alon by Convention.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13 The preliminary
conference of the thirty-fifth convention
of the American Bankers' association,
which were held today, show that tha
bill of lading problem will be one sub
ject of the first Importance which will
be exclusively dealt with by the delegates.
"The bill of lading question," said Louts
B. Plerson, vice president of the associa
tion, "la one of the greatest commercial
problems of the day and It will soon be
settled to the satisfaction bankers, car
riers and shippers.
The conference on the Variety of the
commercial paper was one of the few
meetings of the day In which free rein was
given to all who desired to discuss that
subject and was the only meeting In which
Interests other than banking Institutions
had a share.
Mercantile associations and railroad lines
were represented at the conference and
took part In determining the form of the
resolutions seeking state and national laws
for uniform bills of lading.
The cry' of the bankers has long been
for a bill of lading which would make the
carrier Issuing It responsible so that It
would be a safe negotiable Instrument.
Liability of Carrier.
The shippers represented were equally
anxious for a solid foundation and the
Importance of the question was presented
by Henry Dunkak,, president of tha New
York Mercantile exchange, who declared
that If the bill of lading were not Used as
a basis of credit, "the business of the
country would' come to a standstill br
else become concentrated In the hands
of a few."
The railroad representatives did not op
pose the resolutions and this ' wss taken
by tha bankers to Indicate a closer degree
of harmony than has prevailed since here
tofore the carriers' liability has been the
principal bone of contention.
In addition to unanimous approval by the
conference, the resolutions for uniform
bill of lading laws were acted on favorably
by the executive council of the association
late In the day and will go before the conl
ventlon for flnAl action. The work of the
other committees which met during the day
was largely the preparations of reports to
be submitted to the convention. Express
companies and their Issuance of express
and money orders .will be the subject of
criticism from the special committee on
that subject.
Against Gnaraaty Plan.
The various questions of national fi
nance with whloh subject the currency
commission of the association Is burdened
will be held In abeyance until after the
report Of the federal monetary commission
has been made.
The bank deposit guaranty plan and the
postal savings ban project were frowned
on by the federal legislative committee
whtch will report adversely on these propo
sitions and wlll -suggest as a substitute
that tha national -banks be permitted to
organise-" savings banks with segregated"
capital. ;
The; main meeting of the afternoon was
the gathering . oft. the executive council, qf
tp association' to which all., reports and
rfo)utlons,d,estinejl.fQr tb convention must
be submitted, r. The .session of the oounctl
was. behjpd closed doors and It was later
announced that the suggestions of the var
ious committee, had been approved with
out exception.
Supervisors Tof State Banks,
Coincident with the preliminaries for the
main convention,' the convention of the
national association of supervisors of state
banks was - held at which the Supervisors
from each state represented outlined the
oonditlon of banks In their stste. The
representatives from Kansas and Oklah
homa spoke strongly In favor of the guar
anty laws In force In those states. A.' M.
Young of Oklahoma declared that It was
not easy for fin Improper person to open
a bank In his state and J. M. Dooley of
Kansas, Insisted that had the bank guar
anty law been In force throughout the coun
try for forty years It would have offset
all the losses suffered In that time by
depositors.

remarks about government1 by the people.

said Speaker Cannon.
"The people have their chsnoe to speak
every two years. The government la no
better nor no worse than the people de
mand. There must always be a large num
ber of people who follow a certain leader

NO POLITICS IN CENSUS
Supervisors Must Sever Connection
with Political Committees.
EXPLICIT LETTER ON P0HIT
Commissions Will Not Be Sent to
Appointees Who Do Not Comply
vrlth Order or to Those
Holding Stale Offlree.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Every measure
Is being taken by Census Director I'urand
In carrying out President Taft's determina
tion to prevent political activity on the
census supervisors and enumerators during
their term of office, as emphatically out
lined by the president In a letter to Beo
retnry Nage! of the' Department of Com
merce and Labor. Director Durand has
sent a letter, which has been approved by
both the president and Secretary Nagel, to
all supervisors, calling their attention to
the president's letter pointing out that It
prohibits a man from holding office or
membership In any political committee
during the term of his office as supervisor
or taking any active part In politics by
publlo addresses, solicitation of votes or
otherwise.
The director declares this order will be
strictly enforced and requests thst each
supervisor Inform him Immediately whether
he holds office or membership, In any poli
tical committee, and If so, Just what posi
tion and whether the supervisor is willing
to resign such position and refrain from
political activity during his term of office.
If the answer is in the affirmative the
director expects the supervisor to send a
copy of his resignation from any such posi
tion with a statement that the resignation
lias been accepted. '
; In view of the provision In almost every
State constitution that no state officer shall
hold a federal position at the same time,
the director also in the letter calls for In
formation on this point
As fast as the supervisors prove that they
have met those requirements, the commis
sion will be forwarded, accompanied by
oaths of office, a oopy of the census law
and the preliminary letter of Instruu'lons
from the director. The latter will only
take up the question of the selection ot
enumerators, and the subject of the test
examination of the force of 65,000 men and
their designation, for the approval of the
director, will form the subjects of a more
specific letter of Instructions which will
follow. The appointment of the enumera
tors will not be made before January next.

A few minutes at.er 10 o'clock President
Ryder called the convention to order, the
big hall of the Eagles being well filled with
deli gates and visitors. He at once Intro
duced Mayor Tracy, who In a ten-minute
talk on behalf of Benson bid the Eagles
welcome to the little town. At the opening
of his speech he presented a large key of
wood, painted In gold, to President Ryder.
Make It Bright with Use.
"This key," he said in making the pre
sentation, "has grown rusty from disuse In
Benson and we want you Eagles to make
good use of.lt and see everything our little
town has. This week Benson Is yours.
"We have sent the chief of police away
on a vacation and the few officers we con-1
trol we have escorted to' Omaha to help
that city take care of the crowd there dur
ing the week.
"Benson may not be the largest town In
this aate, but It la hospitable, and you can
enjoy yourselves while you arelhere. -We
will do all we can. to show you a good
time.
After these words of welcome the mayor
defined the policy and Intentions of the
Eagles, as he understood them.
"The Eagles," he continued, "wish to do
the right thing by all ttmlr brothers. It
is their wish to help each other. They
do not tear down.
"When a man ia sick the Eagles will
come to his aid. Tills fraternity is a real
one and there Is ho wrangling about giv
ing up money to help the needy.
"The Eagles are growing belter, day by
day, and they will soon come to be what
their head officers wsnt them to be. Ben
son and Nebraska will help them along, I
I trust, by leading in the forward inove-
President Kyder Speaks.
President Kyder, responding for the
state aerie, thanked Mayor Tracy and
Benson for Its warm welcome and de
clared that he and his brothers appreciated
what the little city was doing for them.
In the serious part of his speech he ad
vised the Nebraska aeries what he be
lieved the best things for them to do in
helping the grand aerie to progress. He
said they should discuss. In their con
vention, the matter of buildings, sick bene
fits and the social side of the fraternity,
for by this method they would be able to
start an uplift for the society.
"I am sure," he' said, "that you dele
gates can get a great deal of good out
of this convention snd out of the national
convention. It Is your duty to take theite
good things back to your local aerlea and
study them out, so that your members can
be benefited.
"There are three vital things, aa I look
upon our work. These ars the regulation
of sick benefits, the social features and
the dUcussions about uplifitiug ths fra
t rnlty.

by the mayor, "that ws will use this key
In the right way and that we will give
Benson reason to welcome us again.
"The Eagles are proud of Benson; It Is
one of the best little cities In the grand
aerie. This building which the local aerie
has built shows that Benson Is a progress
ive little city. It shows that the Esgles
have planned great thlrigr and have been
looking up for substantia; things."
President Ryder made his remarks brief
In order that the convention should hear
all that the next president of the grand
aerie. Vice President Herlng, had to say.
In a preftce of a few light remarks. In
which he took a good-natured crack
at Omnha and the 8 o'clock closing law,
he said he knew why people moved to
South Omaha and Benson from Omaha. He
said It was because they practically had to
go to bed In Omaha at t o'clock.
"The fraternity now Is not running very
smoothl as regards sick benefits, and It Is
the duty of each aerie to study out better
methods and reduce the cost of these bene
fits. It is Imperative that each aerie should
protect Its old members,
"A member of an aerie Is transgressing
upon his duties when he gives more time
than he should to his aerie. He should not
take his time away from Tits wife and fam
ily. There Is no need of spending too much
time In the buffets.
"It would be well if the members would
try to cut down ths expensive banquets
that are held so often eaoh year. Make the
social side of ths fraternity less prominent
than It has been In the past.
"I feel that It Is the duty of the Ne
braska aeries to discuss these things and
stait a movement for better things. If
they do the members from this state will
soon bo given better offloes In the grand
order."

liberty, truth, Justice and equality.
"As soon as I learned that an opera was
to be put on In Omaha I immediately went
to Munich, the home of Wagnerian opera,
to be able to tell when J returned Just
how that opera would compare with your
own production,'' said G. M. Hitchcock,
editor of the World-Herald, speaking for
the editors. "After listening for two weeks
stiaight from 8:30 In the afternoon until
10:30 each evening I want to say that they
haven't anything In Europe which can In
any way compare wltb Paprika Schnitzel,
from Bon Cotton to Fred Paffenrath. I
also saw forty-two airships at Rhelms, but
not one tjould fly us some of the birds
that are In Omaha this week."
The oprey will be produced again this
evening and also Wednesday evening when
the guests will be the visiting Eagles.
