National banking Interests do not took with uniform favor on the Increase In trust company power. It was pointed out today that Inasmuch as the law makes It possible for the trust companies to hold stocks and to enjoy, advantages forbidden to banks by the provisions of tie national banking act. It would be easily possible for the larger trust companies to make up many underwriting propositions which the large bunks of Wall street, under the law, found it Inexpedient to handle.

After a test lasting over a period of five months. during which time Ikerman demonstrated the torpedo for $10 a day and his expenses the government has finally adopted his torredo and bought the patent. 8everal periodicals of late have been telling of a new torpedo that the govern ment has been Ustlng. This was Iker man's torpedo. The cruslng of the battle ship Texas and Its maneuvers during .the last few months have been common knowl edge, but It was not generally known that this battleship was carrying Ikerman and his pitent from place to place to demon strate the torpedo before verious naval officers. During all this time Ikerman has bf en on the Texas. No description of the torpedo is obtain able owinff to Its being a government secret. The following expression of a naval officer during the demonstration of It in the Philippines indicates the high value at which It Is held: "Give men," said the officer, "twelve men and a suf ficient number of these torpedoes and I can successfully withstand an attack from the combined navies of the entire world." Ikerman has said that from the time the torpedo started up to the time It strikes It is under perfect control. The torpedo has a nine-mile range. I Inmates of Snldlera . Home. ' Ikerman is an old soldier of the civil War, he having served In an Illinois regl Inent.

It was not until he had written the secre tary of be navy twice that that official deigned to give notice to the letter by writing Commandant Summerville of the home, asking him what he knew. Sum merville replied that the Invention was worth Investigating. It was this Btorter that brought Ikerman's torpedo to the at tention of the department. Ikerman Is well known In Eldor and Hardin county, where he has lived for years. He was formerly a coal miner. Later he worked a truck farm near here, and only last summer he hauled clay for ono of the local tile factories.

John R. Painter and Willard Ruscher have lost several In the same length of time. The holdness of the wolves Is unusual, as they have1 come close to the ranches to do their work. At the Painter ranch they" killed both a l-year-old steer and a deer the same night, within 400 yards of the house, clean ing up everything but the hair. The loss Is usually among tho 2-year-olds and yearlings, who, being more curious than Jhe elder stock will walk out from the bunch to take look at the wolf, who sits like a dog on his -haunches some dis tance away waiting for this move. As soon as the steer Is far enough from the bunch the wolf cuts In between and then tho race begins, which ends In the ham strlnglpg of the steer, when the wolf pulls him down with little trouble. Occasionally the steer gets back to the bunch, but If he la bitten h almost invariably dies. A wolf bite acting like deadly poison.

MARSHALLTOWN, la., Jan. 4. (Special) Today for the first time in many years this city was without a saloon. None were opened until evening, because it was not until late in the day that any of the per mits, issued by the council Friday, were signed by Mayor O. L. Ingledue. This afternoon he signed five of the twelve, but refused to sign the other seven. As a result none of the five were able to get li censes until late in the afternoon. Two of the seveil Mayor Ingledue rcfusei positively to sign. He is still holding out for P. II. Gifford's saloons, which were shut up by the council, conteding that he will sign no more until Gifford's two re maining places are given, permits by the council. The council Is "leery" of granting permits to Gifford's other two places lest Attorney J. II. Eiyrmayej has promised, It be Indicted by the grand Jury, as County If permits to the Glfford saloons are issued. MONEY MARKET IS UNSETTLED Feverish Tone la Reflected In.

The opening rate for call loans was 8 per cent; it then went back to 8, and then recovered to 8. After the opening demand had been met the rate fell to 6, and during the noon hour tho prevailing figure was 8 per cent. The greattr part of the money loaned came from uptown banks and trust com panies, as well as from private corpora tions. Out-of-town banks, includipg Bos ton, Philadelphia and Chicago Institutions, also loaned money here. The failure of the regular Wall street Institutions to lend considerable amounts Just now Is attributed to their depleted reserve.
