NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Although Secre
tary McAdoo of the Treasury department
said today that he had formulated no
views regarding the division of the coun
try into regional rcscrvo districts, ho
gave strong Intimations that he was op
posed to the creation in New York of a
huge regional bank embracing most of
tho northeast and 40 or W per cent of
the country's banking power.
"If wo put 40 or 50 per cent of tho
banking power Into a New York dis
trict," said Mr. McAdoo, "we would bo
obliged under tho law to divide tho re
maining territory into seven districts that
will be comparatively lean."
Mr. McAdoo said tho establishment of
two or three banks In the' northeast as
for example at New York, Boston and
Baltimore would not dlulocato tho closely
interwoven business and financial rela
tions of .tho northeastern territory. On
the other hand; ho said, establishment
pt more than one bank would facilitate
ti.O course of exchange and mercantllo
'ransactlons between these districts.
HllKKCfitloil of Uuali.
At today's hearing of tho committee
Irving T. Bush, chairman of tho currency
committee of the Mercantile association
of New York, said the business and fi
nancial relutlons of all cities in tho
northeast with New York were so close
that it would bo advisable to include this
'.errltory. or most of it. in ono district.
He suggested that the western boundary
be placed far enough west to include
Pittsburgh and Buffalo, and he believed
that unless the committee decided to con
stitute a separate district of New Eng
land tho northern boundary of tha Now
York district should extend to the Cana
dian border, Tho southern boundary
ihould extend to include Wllmlngtbn,
Del.. Mr! Bush said, if a bank were-es
t .bllshod at Baltimore. . Otherwise this
district should include Maryland and tho
District '6f Columbia.
Edward E. Page, a New York merchant,
thought that the districts should be dl-
vlded according to tho classes of mercan
tile paper- handled In various sections of
the country. Ten cities in whleh regional
banks might bo established he named as
San Francisco, Denver, St. Paul and
Minneapolis. Kansas City, St. Louis, Chi
cago, Atlanta, Boston, New ork and
Baltimore.
Morirnn Ilefore Committee.
Tho appearance of J. P. Morgan
treated a stir 'in tho committee room
when the hearing was resumed after tho
noon recess. Mr. Morgan said ho had
not studied tho problem before the com
mlttee, except in a general way.
"I haven't looked into it as much as 1
should have done." he said.' "If I had
known that I was coming hero. How
ever, I am, moderately familiar with tho
federal reserve act."

BOND OF SAMMONS IS 55,000
Former Sheriff Denies All Connec
tion with the Cane Smith
Sara They Made Plot on
Chrlilmnn Day.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Jan. (.-(Special
Telegram.) Walter Summons, for
mer sheriff of Buffalo county, and, Del
bert Smith, mall clerk at the Kearney
postofficc, were this morning bound over
to tho federal court by United States
Commissioner Cleary after the submis
sion of a part of Smith's confession.
Smith was represented by Attorney Mc
Donald and Sammons by Attorneys Old
ham and McDcrmott. Sammons still
maintains his lnnoccnco stoutly. United
States Deputy Marshal Sammons, a
brother of the accused, was present, but
not In an official capacity. Deputy Hen-
sel of Lincoln, who made tho arrest,
brought tho two men hero early this
morning. They were released on ball Into
this evening. Each returned to his homo
In Kearney.
Smith's stoiy, as related to tho conv
mlssloner, was to the effect that on the
morning of Christmas day the. package
of $5,000 was in tho office and he knew
It had been put in tho day sate. lie met
Sammons during the day and the two
were together from a lato morning hour I of tho twenty-five who managed to cs
untll lato In the day. Ho mentioned the capo when the frail flalboat In
receipt of this packago and thero was which they were being transported across
somo conversation about it. Tho prospects j tho river was wrecked on a rock. Ho
of being able to take It was discussed reached Winnipeg today,
and upon the suggestion of Sammons. ruglleso said tho twcnty-flvo who cs-
while at the Kearney depot. Smith gave 1
Sammons tho combination of the safe.
Sammons also needed tho key to the post-
office, according to the story, but this
nas not delivered until later, when they
went to Sammons' office.
It was agreed here that the key was
to bo returned to Smith during the night
and to bo placed under a rug on Smith's
porch. Smith looked under tho rug at 4:30
In the morning and found the key. Ho
did not see Sammons from the time he
gave tho key until tho next morning. He
arrived at the postofflce simultaneously
with another clerk and tho two found
the door of the safe open, tho inner
chest having apparently been hroken into.
Smith Is Crou-Bxamlnedi
United States Attorney Lane, who was
conducting' the case for the government
here, stopped the direct testimony and
Attorney Oldham, for Sammons, cross
examined with reference to certain places
where Smith said he and Sammons had
been drinking during the day, the system
of numbering the streets, etc., and At
torney Lane secured from the witness
the statement that ho had known Sam-
mons about eighteen years and that
Sammons had been, an officer at Kear
ney (or many years.'
Neither of the attorneys argued tho
case and Commissioner Cloary announced
that the accused had committed the
crihio and bound Sammons over in the
sum of $5,000 and Smith $3,000. Tho men
-were brought hero by Inspectors nice
and Braucr, who, together with Inspector
Booker of the North Platte district, un
raveled the mystery of the stolen parcels
up to this stage. Mr. Bice is tho regular
Inspector for this district, Mr. Booker
for tho North Platte district and Mr.
BTauer Is a special man from the larger
Kansas City district.
Sirs. Smith Neurly nrenka Down.
In tho courtroom tho relatives of both
mon were composed. Marshall Sammons
sat in tho audience while his brother was
within tho railing, in charge tot Marshal
Hensel. Mrs, Smith, wifo of the confess
ing clerk, n,nd Miss Smith, a sister. Bat
with Attorney McDonald. Thero was noth
ing to Indicate any relationship. Mrs.
Smith and Miss Smith, however, broke
down upon visiting tho husband and
brother in the Jail this morning. It hap
pened that Marshal Sammons arrived at
the Jail about the same time as did Mrs.
Smith and Miss Smith. The ono to see
the brother, and tho others his recent
companion. It was necessary for tho
Jailer, in order to permit brother to seo
brother, to lead Sammons to tho waiting
room oerore Mr. Smith could be brought
from tho other side of the Jail and the
snocK was severe upon Mrs. Smith. A
moment later Mr. Smith was brought in
and tho wifo sank also to the floor aa
she flow into her husband's arms ' and
the cry escaped her, "Oh. Delbert, and
had to see that man first."
Without attempt to conceal the fact
the wife and sister attribute Smith's fall
to evil Influences and temtors, but as
openly urge him to stick to the truth.
Both Will tilve Honda.
Smith had waived preliminary hearing.
Both men will furnish bonds, though it
is stated by Smith's attorneys that it
may require all day today to secure them
for Smith.
In the meantime they are under the
custody of the United States marshal and
tho local sheriff's force. The other in
terested parties returned to their homes
this afternoon, no tlmo for trial having
been set. The federal court meets here
next week, but there is llttlo probability
that the case can come to trial early.

FORMAL DEMAND ON SMITH
County Board Asks Court Clerk to
Put Back $6,500.
NATURALIZATION FEES IN ISSUE
Commissioner Lynch IlecnlU Prom-
lues nnd Contrasts Thrm vrlth
the Performance of the
Cleric of Courts.
As o result of the, decision of the United
Stales -supremo court that tho federal
law docs not mean that' court clerks may
retain naturalization feed In violation of
stato enactments tho Board of County
Commissioners of Douglas county will
at once instruct County Attorney Mag-
noy tn bring suit against Robert Smith,
clerk of tha local district court, for 6,6O0
now in Smith's possession.
"I am making a formal demand for the
money on Smith today," said Tom O'Con
nor, chairman of tho committee on Judi
ciary, "and am giving htm a last chance
to restore tho JC600 to the treasury of
his own motion. If ho refuses I will tako
tho matter .up at once with the county
attorney."
An Interesting feature of tho contro
vcrsy over tho fees Is the presence 111
tho court house of Frank A. Broadwcll,
former court clerk, whose political ca
recr was halted by agitation started by
Robert. Smith, then county auditor, over
the fees of tho offlco now held by tho
latter. Broadwcll is serving on a Jury.
Ho declined to comment on tho present
Situation.
Smith's Pnat Promlnrn.
"Smith was eleptcd on his own proposi
tion that his drafts on tho county trcas
ury would be conflnoJ to hts,J4,000 a year
salary," said Commissioner Lynch. "What
have become of the pledges whlcn no
made before his election?
"Six year ago, October 25, Smith, the
$1,500 a year county auditor, candidate
for district court clerk, told an audience
tn a halhat Sixteenth nnd Locust streets
that ho should be elected because he had
cut down bills against the county 'pre
sented by certain grafters and paid with
out question for years,' and would con
tinue tc stand against graft.
"Today Smith, serving his sixth year
In the office which he gained by such
pledges, is ill possession of JC.DOO, one-
halt of the naturalization fees collected
by him during his terms, and is claiming
215,000 in fees and rake-offs by virtue of
his ex-offlclo membership In tho County
Insanity board.
"November 1, JSpl, Smith told voters at
Petersen's hall, Twenty-fourth and Bur
dette streets, that by cutting bills against
tho county In half ho had earned the
enmity of tho 'disgruntled.'
"In 1913 tho Board of County Commis
