THURSDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION JANUARY 5, 1933 EXPLAINS CLEARING HOUSE TO ROTARY CLUB Supervision Ass'n Means Pledge of. Safety, Says Raymond E. Jones. The supervision of the New York Clearing House Association means pledge of safety for funds, declared Raymond E. Jones, vice president of the Bank of the Manhattan in addressing the Rotary Club of Brooklyn today.

Mr. Jones, whose subject, was "What Membership in the New York Clearing House Association Means to the Banks, of New York City," said in part: "It has been interesting to watch the growth of the New York Clearing House, When I started in banking in 1901 one clearing each day at 10 A. M. could satisfactorily handle all the business of the New York Clearing House banks and there were 62 of them then with clearings that year of over 000,000,000., As against only 21 banks today, but of course there were almost no branches in those days as against about 450 today. "Brooklyn and the other outlying parts of Greater New York did not enjoy the privileges and protection of New York Clearing House banks.

Clearings Doubled by 1917 "However, by 1917 clearings had more than doubled over $181,000,000,000) 80 about 10 of the larger banks met at nine o'clock in the morning to exchange their checks and get a start on the day's but five years later, in 1922, clearings were up to more than silo billions, so in addition to the 9 M. and 10 A. M. clearings the large banks got together at eight o'clock each morning. But the banking business of New York kept right on growing, so in 1926, when our total clearings approximated $800.000,000,000, some way had to be found to handle this tremendous volume of work.

A few of the large banks had long since been working with night forces, 80 why not the New York Clearing House? it was that the Midnight Clearing was established and without going into too many details let me say that this resulted in almost 24-hour Clearing House service, because banks commence sending their bundles of checks to the Clearing House at 5 P. M. and continue doing so until 2 A. M. Between midnight and 8 A.

M. deliveries of these checks are made to banks. "Now let us start in Brooklyn and trace your checks through the New York Clearing House. I suppose most of you are depositors in the Bank of the Manhattan Company, so I shall use any of our offices here in your midst as an example. checks you deposit here today will all have been sorted and sent to the main office in Manhattan by eight o'clock this evening, where they will be combined with those received from our other offices and.

correspondents and by midnight, or not later than 3 A. will be in the Clearing House, where anxious messengers from the larger banks will be waiting to take them to the banks upon which they are drawn. Today all of our large banks have night forces to handle this tremendous volume of checks which, in the midnight clearings alone, weighs about tons. Checks Sorted "Now during the night all of these checks are sorted according branches and are ready, for the bookkeepers, upon their arrival in the morning, whether it be in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx or the Rockaways, from which you will see that those checks which you draw here in Brooklyn today, if propmtly deposited, will be right back here in the morning waiting at your bank to be paid. "But what about those checks you send to Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Now Orleans, the Pacific Coast and Europe? Clearing House activities don't stop with this midnight clearing, Messengers bring mail to the banks from the New York Post Office all during, the night, these letters containing many thousands of checks from cities all over the world.

'Such checks are sorted rapidly and cleared 8 A. but mail continues to pour in, 80 more checks are cleared at 9 A. M. takes and then at 10 the A. M.

final when clean place there is included in the envelopes for each bank slips representing the amounts sent them in the different clearings from midnight until ten o'clock. By 1 P. M. all clearings must be settled for at the Federal Reserve Bank. In my early banking days such balances were paid in cash and millions of dollars were then Stop a COLD the First Day!

SPEAKER RAYMOND E. JONES carted through the streets daily, while not a single cent leaves the Federal Reserve Bank today. "By 10:15 A. M. all the banks have their checks for the day, but what about those many thousands which have to be returned because the drawers have not sufficient funds their accounts to pay them, or they are post.

dated, or filled out incorrectly, or an endorsement is missing--Possibly Mrs. Newlywed has temporarily forgotten she is married and signed household check with her maiden name, or Sonny, not wanting his new suit returned when it arrives C. 0. signs dad's name to a check, and forgets to tell dad. "Before 3 P.

M. every check must have been examined and if it is not to be paid then it must be returned to the bank from which it was received. If for $5,000 or less it can be returned through the 8 P. M. clearing which is held for that purpose, or if such item to be returned is held by a branch bank in the "outer zone" that is, some distance from the Clearing House, telephone advice is given the main office, which places an advice slip in clearings of the bank to receive it, and the check itself can be returned at midnight.

"Checks of $100 or less may be returned through the midnight clearings without telephone advice, this being a rather recent ruling. Clearing House Safety "Now let us see what Clearing House safety means to the depositors of our 21 Clearing House banks, the assets of which amount to $9,369,000,000 or more than 93 per cent. of the total assets of all the' 92 commercial banks and trust companies in Greater New York. There are 255 reporting Clearing Houses in different cities of the United States and the New York Clearing House handles about 62 per cent. of the total clearings of the entire country.

"No bank can become a member of the New York Clearing House unless it has a capital of $1,000,000. It must pass the high standards of safety and management prescribed by the admissions committee which acts only after, the bank has been thoroughly examined by the Clear(ing House examiner. "The government of the Clearing House is in the hands of the Clearing House Committee consisting of five members and the president of the association, Generally these members are all bank presidents and to read the names of those who have thus served the New York Clearing House during the past three quarters of a century is to review the leaders of American finance. However, all members stand on a parity in determining the pollcies of the Association. "Every member must make a weekly report to the Clearing House on a form which immediately reflects the true condition of the reporting bank.

In addition to these reports, competent examiners make periodical audits of each bank, at least once a year, such reports giving particular attention to the soundness of the assets of the members and, don't forget, these reports are made in the light of the most intimate knowledge of the financial affairs New York banks and of general conditions as well. "Now what does all of this mean to you? It means added security for your deposits a great safeguard provided to you depositore in the New York Clearing House banks and at considerable expense to the banks which, of course, also pay for the usual Federal or State examinations- so you will readily see your funds have the protection of an organization whose very fundamental purpose is to assure sound banking to the people of New York. "The supervision of the New York Clearing House Association really means a pledge of safety for your funds and it has meant just that during lifetime of the present generation. Not for more than 25 years has a New York Clearing House bank failed." TO INDUCT OFFICERS OF MANSFIELD CLUB Hesterberg to Lead Democrats in Ceremony Tonight.

By GEORGE L. CASSIDY (Times Union Staff: Correspondent) Albany, N. Jan. continued today to beset the Democrats in their new found position of power in the State Senate. National Committeeman John H.

McCooey and Tammany Leader John F. Curry left no word here a8 to what individuals would be chosen to head the important committees, except in the case of finance, of which Senator Jeremiah F. Twomey of Brooklyn's Greenpoint section has been chosen chairman. Despite a hurried conference between Assembly Minority Irwin Steingut and Senate Majority Leader John J. Dunnigan the Bronx, who came here for a.

brief visit yesterday, not even a tentative list of appointments was allowed to be circulated among the Senators. The tentative list, published in the Times Union last week, still stands, but Mr. Curry is understood to have broached again his demands for more recognition for Manhattan. Kleinfeld's Friends Active As a result of this friends of Senator Philip M. Kleinfeld of Coney Island, who has been threatened with loss of the chairmanship the committee on taxation and lot retrenchment, to which he is entitied under the seniority rule, have grown active in his behalf.

Mr. MoCooey has stood firm. He has insisted that the seniority rule be preserved. The showdown will come next Monday night, when the appointments must be made if the work of the Legislature is to go on. The betting is that Mr.

McCooey will have his way, for it is generally conceded that his support is essential to Mr. Curry. Meanwhile, the New York City leaders were mulling over some straight, from talk National understood Chairman have James A. Farley here yesterday. He is said to have declared that he must be consulted in regard to appointments to up-State jobs, at least for candidates from above the Bronx, it the New York City leaderg expect to be given his aid in obtaining Federal patronage.

Keen Move by Farley Seen Mr. Farley is given credit for having great influence with President-elect Roosevelt in matters affecting practical politics. said to have declared his willingness to keep his hands off New York City he is allowed to pass on upState patronage. Some regarded Mr. Farley's proposal as keen move to drive wedge between the New York City leaders and their up-State allies.

Whether they will accept his proposal is open to question. The big unknown factor in the situation is the attitude of Gov. one organization appointment, that Although DO he had made of Police Judge Edward A. Rogan as Surrogate of Albany County, he has not yet made it clear how far he will allow himself to be advised by the various leaders. Persons close to the new Governor believe he will adopt a policy of listening to their advice and accepting it in the majority of instances.

They are convinced, however, that he will act independently if he considers their suggestions ill advised. HESTERBERG OPENS $1,000,000 TALKS 100 in Street Broadcast Their Views on Wealth.

NAME MY PARTNER WILL BE: NAME ADDRESS ADDRESS STEER IS NAMED DEFENSE COUNSEL IN FAY SLAYING Court Appoints Prominent Lawyer When Maloney Says He Is Without Funds.

Larry Fay, New York's public enemy number three, has lost none of his power to keep Broadway gasping and talking, although he dead and buried. The boys and girls of the Great White Way, where Fay cut a brief but brilliant figure, wondered first why his funeral had been held secretly, 24 hours before it was scheduled. They also marveled at the luck of his alleged slayer, Edward Maloney, who asked General Sessions Judge John J. Freschi to appoint a lawyer to defend him because he was without funds, and received Max D. Steuer, New York's bestknown criminal lawyer, a power in Tammany Hall, a lawyer who has received many a large 1 fee for his efforts.

Maloney was protected from interviews and photographers by police after he surrendered and when he was arraigned yesterday on a charge of first degree murder. He pleaded not guilty. Althought lawyer had to Maloney as a another, appeared, suspect said he would have to depend on a lawyer appointed by the Court. Usually, the Court appoints a young lawyer eager for any case that will build a reputation. Steuer, when told of his appointment, said he would gladly serve and without compensation.

Fay's body was taken from the undertaking establishment to the cemetery where services were held at the grave. Some of his friends, their hands in pockets suggestively, were told by their leader to let the reporters "have it" if they came any closer to the mourners. It was believed the funeral was purposely held in advance of the announced time to avoid detectives who customarily go to the funerals of public enemies and pick up the known gunmen among the mourners. Maloney was a doorman at the night club where Fay, once wealthy from the proceeds of a dozen ets, but broke when he died, rachis manager. Police claimed Maloney killed him in a quarrel over a $67 debt.

Maloney, evasive under questioning at the police line up, nevertheless indicated he would plead intoxication and amnesia. MAYO CLUB ELECTS The John B. Mayo Democratic Club of the Third A. with headquarters at 196 President elected officers 1933. John B.
