He jioinjts out, however, that while augmenting some of the important business did not reach the average of increase for the past ten years. The Controller makes the startling declaration that "the dishonest practice by officers of national banks of receiving personal compensation for loans made by the bank la a growing evil and has already reached such proportions as to call for criminal legislation on the subject." "In this manner," he adds, "either the bank is defrauded of lawful interest which it would otherwise receive or usurious interest Is exacted of a borroweV by a corrupt officer. A secret reward to the officers is some times a deliberate bribe for obtain ing1 a loan on insufficient securtiy." Mr.

Murray urges tnat tne tasting of money or other valuables in this connection by a bank officer be made an offense punishable by imprison ment the penitentiary. Assets Increase. The aggregate amount of assets of the national banks increased during the year approximately 5553, i)5S, 000 or 5.63 per cent. Lans and discounts, i increased only 3.59 per cent, in the face of an average ten-year increase of 6.52 per cent. Individual deposits, representing f3 per cent, of a bank's liabilities, reached the highest point in history, September 1 last, This high record, however, was an increase of only 6.69 per cent, over the previous year, as compared with a ten-year average of 7.49.

The banking power of the nation, including the. operations of every bank national. State and private -is estimated by the Controller at 5 S. 790, an increase during the year of $285,212,407. or over 13 per cent.

The total banking capital is estimated at $2,032,411,085 and the total individual deposits at $16,514,730,361. The net earnings of the national banks during the fiscal year ended June 30 last, were $156,385,513, from which dividends were paid to the amount o'f $114,685,412. or 11.38 per cent, on the capital and 6. S3 per cent on the combined capital and surplus. Only Three Failures.

Only three national banks were placed in the hands of receiver during the year ended October 31. The United States holds the greatest stock of gold and silver in the world, according to statistics submitted by Mr. Murray for the calendar year 1910. The total aggregate of gold in possession of the principal countries was of which the United -States held $1,710,000,000, or 26 per cent, of the total. The total supply of silver was 52,599,500,000, this country's share being $729,500,000 or 28 per cent.

Mr. Murray recommends that Federal or State corporations holding stock in national banks be made liable to assessment as shareholders. He also asks Congress to extend to ten years the statute of limitations for the prosecution of offenses under the national banking laws.

The excitement was intense among the roomers in both houses. Not until 'The occupants reached the sidewalk did they learn that houses were not burning'.

Act Submits currency report Washington, Dec. 7. In the second one-topic message he has sent to Congress fluring the three days of the -present session. President Taft the relations of the United States with foreign governments during the past year. In this message the President gave the first official explanation of the post-haste movement of 20,000 Federal troops to Mexico nine months ago; urged the United State Senate to ratify the general arbitration treaties with Great Britain France and the conventions with Nicaragua and Honduras and suggested legislation that jhe declared would strengthen this nation's world trade and position among the other powers.

The message was read in Congress today. On two subjects included under -'foreign relations" the President spoke only in brief fashion. He informed Congress of the conferences 4wgun by American Ambassador Guild ax St. Petersburg in regard to the Question of passports in Kussia for "-American Jews and explained that after the Christmas "holidays he expected to send a special message on this subject. Although not brought out in to-day's message, it was understood that the brief mention of the arbitration treaties will be followed by a special message to the Senate before which they are pending, urging at length their ratification.

The President's reference to the passport question was added after the other parts of the message had been written. Series of Conferences. "By direction of the State Depart--fnent," read, "our Ambassador to Russia ties recently been having a of conferences with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kussia with view, to securing a clearer understanding and construction of the treaty of 1S32 between Russia and the United States and the modification of ppy existing Russian regulations which may be found to interfere in any way with the full recognition of the-ights -of American citizens under the treaty. "I believe that the government of Russia is addressing itself seriously to the treaty and that sufficient progress has been made to warrant the continuance of these conferences in the hope that there may be soon removed any justification of the complaints of treaty violation now prevalent in this country. I expect that immediately after the Christmas recess I shall be able, to make a further communication Congress on this subject." Aside from his review of the world's iiistory for the past year, in whic" the States particularly figures, the recommended to Congress 'the following; Other Kecotameadatioiis.

The enactment of a law providing for the fulfillment of obligations assumed by the United States in connection with the settlement -of the fur-seal contro-' versy; the passage of a law to forbid the carriage of opium and other orming drugs" in interstate commerce; 'the formation of a central in the nature of a national cham-' her of commerce that would keep all such organizations in touch with com-v rnerclal developments abroad and the enactment into law of executive regulations providing for advancement in the diplomatic and consular service upon a merit basis instead ot through political preferment-Suggestion was also made by the President that the present tariff act should be amended so that its maximum and minimum features, designed to. prevent undue discriminations against American commerce could be graduated to meet varying degrees of discrimination such as have been encountered since the present law was passed. "It is increasingly clear," said the President In this connection "that to obtain and maintain that equity and substantial equality of treatment essential to the flourishing forelgm trade which becomes year by year more im-. portant to the industrial and commercial welfare of the United States; we should have a flexibility of tariff suf-. ficient for the give and take of negotia- tion by the Department of State on behalf of our commerce and industry Outlining the idea of a central "chamber-of commerce," Mr.

Taft suggested that such an organization might be managed by a committee composed of small number of those now actively "engaged in carrying on the work of eome of the large associations of this kmd with members ex-officio from the and Commerce and Labor De- -partments. In leading up to this sug-'Keatlon, Mr. Taft showed that in the scal year ending June 30, XBll the hw of American exports Increased over the previous year but Indicated that further increase was possible. The President's explanation of the iradden dispatch one-quarter of the army to "the Mexican border agreed with the unofficial reasons for that troop move given last spring, but he showed in a confidential letter to Gen Ieonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the 'Army, that there was no doubt in his mind as to what he would do If he had found American lives and property In danger. "It seems my duty as Commander In Chief," said the President in tfa -letter, made public for the first time it xo-aay message, "io piace troops in sufficient number where, if Congress shall direct that they enter Mexico to save American lives and property, an effective movement may be promptly made." Movement Effective.

The outcome of the troop move-ecmred, was entirely ment, Mr. Taft de satisfactory. The recent attempt to undermine the Madero government in Mexico so far as it was engineered in United States, he said, had been --met with the same policy the Government pursued in regard to the revolutionists who overthrew the govern- iwent of President Diaz the "so-call-ed neutrality statutes' were enforced "against all. regard to China, now In the jtiaroes of revolution, Mr, Taft had to say except to explain the loans placed in that country by American and other foreign capitalists. In the present war between Italy and Turkey the President pointed out the United States "has no direct political interest." BUSINESS SATISFACTORY lAecprding to Report of Controller of the Currency.

If not a law of nature. that is at least the boliorf of Miss Edith Boll, a Methodist Underlying it is the reason a bright ajn intelligent young woman should virtually bury herself in the wilds of Africa for four years, for a twelvemonth at time without the protection ot a. solitary white person. For Miss Beft maue up JieV-'mind that, of all the women of the world, those who needed tbe most attention and the sym-pathetfo love of a Onristian woman were the mothers and daughters of the natives of British Rhodesia, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.

Nor does Miss Bell regret her immolation Ui the Dark Continent. She would' not have returns! but that she was stricken with African! fever and had to hasten to another climate. The fact that the wonen and girls bt Umtali followed her through the long country roads, intoning the unearthly land blood-curdling death il-ail as an expression of their sorrow, showed that her efforts bad been well spent, for but a jfew years ago she was considered an intruder, feared and hated as such.

And here is whole, dreadful truth1, told by one who has been through everything she describes: Slaves Measure Wealth. people In this country and, for that matter. In all civilised nations think that slavery has been wiped out; but they only have to look to Rhodesia to learn the horrible truth, for there we have the worst kind of bartering in human traffic the selling of young and innocent girls to whatever man will give the highest price," said Miss Bell. "A man's wealth is judged, not by the extent ot his property or stock, but by the number of women he owns.

For they work and tofT for him while he takes it easy, interesting himself once In a while to see if any of his numerous spouses has a stray goat that he can exchange for another girl, thus adding a toiler to his household. only limit is that a man may not have as many wives as the chief, and the ruler of the Umtali tribe has eighty, so there may as well be none. When I first went to this district the limit was thirty, for that was the en-tirtf possession of the chief: but he died, and he had hardly breathed his last when conspirators poisoned the next heir, and his younger brother succeeded to the. leadership. With the other possessions he inherited went the wives of his two older brothers.

The old chief had. thirty, the murder-: ed man twenty-fifre, aiid he had already accumulated twenty-five of his own, sO brought tlfe totat up to eighty. "Since the British Government stopped the slaughter of wives at the death of their husband, the slaves and their children paas to the dead man's younger brother, and so on. I have never been able to find out what happens when the youngest brother dies, for there are so many In each generation it seems that there is really no end. It can be understood that the men, and particularly the chiefs, have immense families.

"No comparison can be made between this country and Africa. Our rule on courting and the position of a bride after marriage would be Greek to the natives. If a boy or a man takes a liking to a girl he doesn't consult her or even her mother; He goes straight to the fath-er and acrks him what he wants for hor. They strike a bargain for perhaps a goat or a sheep, and the girl Is handed over. Time and again the sjrls have protested, but to no avail.

I have seen mere children of only 10 or 12 years old given into the keeping of men or 70 or 80 yenr? who had long-standing and well-earned as rascals. That didn't matter so long as they had the price. "These girls naturally go to the mothers and plead with them and get the.tr' protecting care until their purchaser comes and says: 'Give me the girl or hand me hack the Less Valued Than Animals. "The rather, who is practically the lorfi, would much sooner part with the daughters than an animal. And even th mother, whose heart -is almost breaking, gives her.

"After our mission school was started the girls found a refuge in it, antl. they learned that they were up foil sale, ran away from home- and tame to m3. I have protected scores of them; out if their fathers discovered their whereabouts they would wait near tne mission until they got an opoortunity and would kidnap the girls, whip tie them hand ana foot and drag them to the hut of: their neiv master 'No ceremony is needed to make the srirl a wife. The exchange of the wherewithal is all that is necessary.

When tile daughter of a chief or an influential man is sold It is generally followed by a dance and merrymaking. Mv life was in peril whenever I protected one- of these marriageable girls, but 1 never allowed the risk I was taking to worry me. One who had been soid to a repulsive old man came to ma pleading to be saved from the match. She was hardly in my hut she was followi-d by her parents and a brother. I quickiv hid her in the long grass and faced iter relatives.

They vowed venge-nurp both me and the girl, and though I wa? ih perpetual fear for five long days I refuse! to give her up and they were unable to find her. Finally Ishcw-cd them their own folly and persuaded them to break off the proposed marriage, whloh I am glad to say they did, and i telt that the anxiety for our safety had been rewarded. 'I have always believed that a country will never i'-se above the standard of its womanhood, and that is the reason I directed most 01 my efforts in Africa to prevent the 'bartering ot young girls.

But to my joy I discovered that mothers were the same the wide world over. Even in frica, where maternity has 30 much to contend with, their Instincts are practically the name as our own.

Aside from eliminating ihe coast artillery, the bill as introduced proposes to consolidate the Subsistence, Paymaster's and Quartermaster's departments into a general supply corpse to be houded by a Major General, and the consolidation of the Aejiuant General's and Inspector GencraiV departments with the general staff corps, to be under the Chief of Staff.

One morning last year I sat in the bfflce of the head of a very large business, one of the shrewdest men know. His cashier came in and laid on his desk a report of the cash in the bank The amount exceeded 400,000. "That'3 a pretty big balance," said my friend to his cleric. "It's much more than wj need in this business. But we have borrowed no money for several months, so I wish you would send to each of our banks a note for $100,000." When the clerk went out I expressed surprise at this action.

For a man to borrow 8200,000, when he had more money than he could use, seemed to me a wasteful proceeding. "I do it." he said, "to keon mv oroii alive.

"Keep the tariff on and protect us from the Interests," said he, "And I will double the number of sugar refineries In Colorado fn three years." Mr.

Combs, one of a committee of three sugar beet growers from his State, said that as a rule the farmers were hostile to the Great Western Sugar Company.

Mr. Combs described the methods by which the sugar refineries stifle competition. He told of one Independent refinery which failed because of lack of capital caused by the failure of a sugar company official to advance money he had prom- ised.
