In the division of the country. Into districts, In conformity to the new banking law, business men generally, 'as well as bankers, are taking: keen interest. As the questions involved are becoming better understood many strong arguments are being advanced for locating the main, branch of the bank for this district in Cincinnati. None, however, are more potent thair those embodied in suggestions which form a composite of the many -good thoughts coming to the Cincin nati banks from their correspondents in the Southern, Middle and Northern States, who have found it to their ad vantage to use extensively their cor respondents in this city in their gen eral banking operations. Some have called especial attention to the desirability of Cincinnati ex cnange under all conditions, even in periods like 1907, during which time banks of this city made heavy ship ments of currency to their corre apondents when banks In many other cities were not filling such orders.

The desirability of Cincinnati ex change was further demonstrated by one bank, which has preserved as a of that period a card which was sent out from -this city to all banks in the, United States, offering to remit to them at par for all checks 'drawn on any Cincinnati banks, or for any other items payable in this city, which would be sent to them for collection. This is only one example of the assistance that has been extended by the banks of this city in time of stress, and communications coming in from banks elsewhere show that it is forgotten.

Friendliness of Big Business Due To Court Decisions Ghen While He Was Attorney-General, He Declares. Holland Believes Bankers and Rail road Men Favor Commission To Supervise Stocks and orids.

BPBC1AL LUrTCH TO TUB BXQl'IBIB. New York. January 27. George W. Wickersham, who was in the administration of President Tft has recently commented in a public communication upon some of the features of the policy Identified with President Wilson's administration with respect to the Industrial corporations and their relation to the so-called Sherman antitrust law.

With a simple exception, Mr. Wickersham Is the only member of the Administration who has publicly commented upon any feature of the various policies of -resi- dent Wilson. His associate Cabinet of ficer. Franklin MacVeagh, Is the excep tlon, for he has been quoted as having spoken for publication with approval of the general features of the new, banking and currency law. In his latest communication Mr.

Wick ersham makes two points, as he thinks. and both of them have occasioned con siderable comment in this city. In the first place. Mr. Wickersham Intimates that President Wilson, has been stealing the thunder of the Taft Administration, because almost all of the doubtful points raised by the prosecutions of the Department of Justice for alleged violation "Of the Sherman antitrust law were e'early and finally determined by decision of the Supreme Court In these various cases.

Hands Taft Credit Wl keraham is convinced that Mr. whatever cordial spirit now characterises the relations of big business with the Government and the people is due to these Interpretations of the Supreme Court. Almost all of them handed down during President Taft's Administration and make full Interpretation of the meaning which Is contained In the Sherman antitrust law. These references of the former Attor ney-General to his successful prosecu tions have been read with Interest, but it Is only a passim intereat. Th feeling seems to be that the important fact is the establishment of new relations between the business world and the nub ile as represented in legislative bodies.

So it Is said that it makes little difference whether the Taft Administration In four years or the Wilson Administration ln 10 months was influential in creating thla new and cordial feeling. The Important fact is it exists, or at least is presumed to exist There are some who have accepted high executive authority in large corporations' who chafe a little, not publicly, because in the estab lishing of these cordial relations they have been compelled to give nearly entire time for some months to the n. partment of Justice at Washington or to the public bodies which exist under state aws. Give. Time To Government.

I neonore N. veil, for instance, haa round himself almost completely occupied ror several weeks with affairs relating to me establishment or the so-called cor. dial co-operation between the Government ana business. President Vail had m.n Important matters to consider some of them cssodated with the Invention and application of new apparatus which were In no way related to the -Sherman anU- trust law. But he has been compelled to lay these things aside and to give prac- wwy ait oi nis time to the Government Howard Elliott, the chief executive of me isew Haven Railroad system, came irom at.

raui, nis home during his presidency of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, on September 1, to take up his new responsibilities In connection with the New Haven system. In the four months and a half since Mr. Elliott assumed these responsibilities his time has been almost exclusively occupied" In negotiations and conferences and hearings carried on either by the Government at Washington or by state authorities. Mr. Elliott has been compelled to rely wholly upon his subordinates for the management of this railroad system ln Its various departments.

No one would have known from any public statement made by these men. or by any of the many others who have found themselves ln like jjituation, that they have chafed a little under these burdensome and exhausting conditions. They all hope that the time Is not distant when friendly relations between the Government and big business may be so completely established that those who manage big business may be able to give some part of their time to their duties. It is a fact, however, not denied by any ln this city that a new attitude on the part both of the Government and of those engaged ln big business so-called has been assumed, and there is a rejoic ing that this is so. Criticism Cause Discussion.

-There however, some features of Mr. Wickersham' somewhat elaborately worked -out criticism 'which have occasioned serious His Intimation that his own party never carried the doctrine of implied powers of the Federal Government so far as the party which is now in power has done, la looked upon here as a purely political consideration not of any special consequence to business men. But there has been serious and continuous discussion made in a friendly spirit over some of the features contained in the newly prepared antitrust bills. For Instance, there Is the regulation of stock and bond issues by interstate railroad companies, a policy advocated by President Taft and now renewed by President Wilson. There Is not a banker of ability or a railroad manager who would tot rejoice if It were practicable, to place' in the hands of a body constituted by Congress the exclusive regulation and supervia'on of issues of interstate railway companies stock and, bonds.

It has been forgotten of kater that a commission was appointed by President Taft to make investigation into the practicability of this proposition. The fact that the President of Yale College, Arthur Hadley. who has been recognized, as a high authority upon railroad economics, was the Chairman of1 THE IMPERIAL TRANSA NT ARCTIC EXPEDITION. "We were now revelling In the indescribable freshness of the Antarctic tnat seems to permeate one's txlng. and which must be responslbe for that longing to go again which assails each returned explorer from Polar regions." Sir Ernest Shackleton a Heart of the Antarctic.

The recent announcement that Sir Ernest Shackleton is to lead another ex pedition to the South Pole has awak ened wide-spread Interest Sir Ernest calls it the "Imperial Transantarctic 1 peditlon." because he feels that ot only the people of the British Isles, but their kinsmen "in all lands under the Union Jack, will be willing to assist toward the carrying out of the full program of ex ploration to which my comrades and my self are pledged." The great aim of the expedition will be the solving of problems in the inter est of geographers and mariners all over the world- This will necessitate the exploration of an entirely unknown region on the Atlantic side of the Antarctic con tinent. As Is shown by our map this great Icy tract has never been penetrated. If Sir Shackleton safely achieves his ob ject of crossing the whole continent from Weddell Sea to Ross Sea he will be the first man to have trodden these regions. It Is a Journey, from sea to sea, of 1.7 statute miles. Its difficulty and danger are greatly Increased by the fact that the explorer hopes to cover entirely new ground, and that he cannot by the nature of his route, have the advantage of a chain of food depots like those which have been so material an aid to his predecessors in Antarctic discovery.

He will, however, be helped by the resources of science in a way which was not open to many of his forerunners. As will be seen from the details of the equipment given below, the expedition will be furnished with a wireless installation and an Interesting adaptation of the aeroplane for sledges, and two ships will support the expedition, one on each side ot the Antarctic continent. The expedition will leave Buenos Aires, South America, early in October, 1M4. One of the most interesting features ot the equipment will be a couple of wingless air-driven, sledges. There will also be an "aeroplane-taxi" an aeroplane with sled runners and clipped wings.

Owing to the lifting power of the wings it will be able to skim over light snow. The explorer has had the pulling power of such a machine worked out, and finds that a sledge of this description is capable of dragging 2,000 pounds weight at the rate of from five- to six miles an hour, It Is proposed to have two such sledges built and thoroughly tested during the winter in Siberia or the North Of Canada, under similar conditions prevailing ln the Antarctic The Human Element in Antarctic Conquest. There is a particularly human, and so engrossing, touch about Antarctic days this commission, gave to it a character which could not have been secured had tt been a purely political commission. President Hadley obtained a leave of absence from Yale so that he could devote several months to the exclusive study of the proposition. A part of the time was spent In Europe.

As a result of those investigations the commission felt- compelled in its report to Congr as to say that It feared safe and adequate legislation of that kind was Impracticable. Mr. Wickersham's statement that it Is impossible so to frame legislation as absolutely to define and specify tb.e various acts whereby Interstate commerce may te restrained or monopolised voices a com-rcent which has been heard in- this city since Presldect Wilson made the recommendation that this be done. Mr. Wickersham's friends ln this city, anow that while he was Attorney General he spent many hours in an effort to satisfy himself that it would be possible to frame legislation which would in detail, and completely specify every act which would be illegal under the Sherman law, He abandoned that work when he found, as he- thought, that the proposition was -legally Impracticable and that every case must be decided by the tacts.

The chief importance of this statement of the Attorney General, who was the Immediate predecessor of Attorney-General McReynolds Is to be discovered In the fact that he really voices some of the objections which mary have thought they have discovered In President -Wilson's recommendation and the bills which have bt-en drafted for the purpose of embodying them.

January 27. MHlions of dollars paid annually to great Industrial plants so-called trusts railroad systems In the form of "allowances" or special services, were held to-day the In terstate Commerce Commission to be un lawful and unreasonable preferences; in fact unlawful rebates operating to the disadvantage of smaller manufacturing concerns throughout the country. Elimination of demurrage on "'industrial lines" owned by the manufacturing plants and claiming to be common carriers, the admission of such industrial lines to the benefits of so-called "per diem arrangements" and other practices were con demned as unlawful. The commission held that if they should be determined as lawful they should be extended to all shippers. Pointing out that the practices con demned dissipated the revenues of the great railroads to the extent jof millions of dollars each year, the commission made a significant reference In Its deci sion to th? present movement among the Eastern railroads for an Increase In freight rates.

Before they may fairly ask the general publie to share further In carrying their burdens It Is manifest that the railroads must themselves properly, conserve, the sources of revenue by making every serv ice performed contribute reasonably to their earnings." i The National Tube, one of the subsid iaries of the United 8tates Steel Corpo ration, the decision says, 'hs forced the line carriers to concede divisions to It out of their rates, which during 1011 are shown to have boen $423,000.. This exceeded the entire operating expenses of the plant railway for that year. A long list of Industrial companies. among them the Kepunuc. I'ltisnurg.

Bethlehem and Cambria Steel Companies. the Youngstown Steel and Tube Company and Wheeling SteeJ and Iron Company. are named as having- received such pref-etences and discriminations. The commission found that during the fisoal year 1912 the Pennsylvania Rail road had paid St.OW.oio, the New York Central $1MV7 and the Baltimore ard Ohio in allowances to industries railways. Five Industrial lines received more than $1,000,000 In per diem reclaims.

The commission ssLys It regards as a conservative estimate of the amount of the railroads' loss annually In money ard services. 'If the allowances and free services may, on any ground, be justified ana found to be lawful." says the decision, "they will be claimed 'and must In -the near future be extended to all Industries similarly situated. We are, therefore, at the parting of the ways with respect to this very heavy tax on transportation." "Allowances paid for the operation of plant railways." the decision declares. are most Important "to the great mass of shippers, who neither receive the allowances or free services, nor are in a posi tion to claim them, but who, in the open markets, must nevertheless- meet the competition of Industries so favored, and are put at a commercial disadvantage that is obvious and sometimes very acute." The commission further sets forth that "the matter la of far-reaching consequence to the public for upon the general public rests the burden of contributing sufficient revenues to the carriers to enable them to meet their expenditures and earn an adequate return upon the property devoted to the service of the public." The amount of the loss to the railroads resulting from allowances Is not shown by the commission, but the decision states, "the evidence establishes the fact that the depletion of the revenues of the carriers is very and the practical Immunity from demurrage charges en-Joyed by the plants owning railways represents a "very substantial item." "During the year ending June 30. 1011," said the decision, "the railroads performed for a single steel Industry, the Republic Iron and Steel Company, at Youngstown, Ohio, free spotting service at a cost to the railroads of 104,328."

Sediment Borne To Oceans Amounts To Millions of Tons Annually. The Independent From every square mile drained by the 'Mississippi 86 tons of salts are deposited annually In the. Gulf of Mexico.

The average outflow of the river is placed at 000 cubic feetper second, and from the analysis of this water the amount of material in olution transported by the Mississippi nas been calculated. reaches the enormous quantity of ton per year. The amount of sediment carried by the Mississippi in addition to these salts is enormous. The quantity delivered annually to the Gulf of Mexico, according to H. L.

Abbott is 812.500.000,000 pounds, or about 406,000,000 tons. These figures are the result of an investigation of the quality of Western stream waters made by the United States ideological survey to determine their fitness for irrigation. The average discharge of silt and mud per year by the Colorado River amounts to 378,000.000 tons. In addition to the suspended solid matters carried by this river, there are also enormous quantities of dissolved substances transported into the sea. These dissolved salts are 4.550,0o0 tons of common salt 3,740,000 tons of Glauber's salts.

4,000,000 tons of lime. tons of gypsum and 4.SO0.0UO tons of magnesium sulphate or Epsom salts, making a total of 19.490,000 tons of dissolved matter annually carried Into the Gulf of California, by this river. In spite ef this enormous amount of dissolved matter, the Colorado River is not considered to be a stream of high mineralization for the Western section of this country. This is due to the fact that the amount of water la so enormous, ln proportion to the dissolved salts, that they are only a very- small proportion of the total discharge. The concentration of the salts in the Elm Kork of the Red River, in Oklahoma, Is by far more than that in the Colorado.

This particular river annually discharges i.jki.uuu tons or common salt which is equal to 1.680 tons per square mile of area drained, while the discharge of salt from the Colorado is tons per square mile. The total amount of salt annually carried away by the Elm Fork is 2,389.000 tons. It must be borne in mind, however, that these quantities, vast as they are. represent only a fraction of the total matter transported. The mud.

sand, silt and products of rock decomposition are deposited along the entire course of the river, and what proportion of the wtfole at last finds its way into the ocean no one can say. but the fraction cannot be-large SAVING SPACE. New York American. A Boston naturalist and writer, who is an authority on snakes, recently sent a good story In this relation to a Western newspaper. Upon the publication of the story the writer found that there were some slight inaccuracies In the tale as printed.

Accordingly he wrote to the editor about them- "In the first place, said he. "I stated that the snake was JO long, ana you had It only 10 feet In reply! the naturalist rrivi th, apology from the editor: Very sorry, indeed, for the error, which, however. was unavoidable. were very much crowded for space at the time we used the storv. an cut down everything."
