The Vatican exhibit is Inclosed in teen boxes, which are lying unopened in the basement of the Anthropology building at the World's Fair.

These boxes will not be opened until the arrival of Francesca Cagiato, an attache of the Vatican, who is now in Washington. D. and who is having such a pleasant time among a few old acquaintances at the capital that he has decided to prolong his visit from a few days to a few weeks. The Exposition Company is very impatient to unpack the Vatican exhibit, but it was stipulated when the arrangement was made that the prized articles of the church should not be displaced until the Vatican's own representative should arrive and personally supervise the installation. The Vatican's representative arrived in New York about two weeks ago.

The World's Fair didn't impress him as being such an important enterprise, and 90 he visit friends for a day or two. Mr. Cagidecided to gO down to Washington and ato is a gentleman of fine appearance and biult somewhat on the order of the Gibson man. He has found a warm welcome in Washington, and his old acquaintances as well 89 his new ones have made his reception so interesting that he has decided to let the Louisiana Purchase Exposition wait for him. In the meantime the Vatican exhibits remain in boxes in the cellar at the Anthropology building, and a Jefferson Guard has become very tired of explaining to people why the Vatican exhibits are not on exhibition.

More than 1.000 visitors and delegates attended the first session of fourteenth annual convention of the Missouri Bankers' Association yesterday afternoon in the Missouri building at the World's Fair. The delegates convened in the assembly room of the building to listen to speeches by leaders in politics and finance, :5 represented by Governor Dockery of Missouri and William Ridgely, United States Comptroller of Currency, and local financiers. It was reported by the treasurer that the Missouri Bankers' Association has a HARRY M. RUBEY, Cashier of State Exchange Rank, Macon. to be elected president of Missouri Bankers' Association.

The treasurer also reported that the association, which is divided into twelve groups, was flourishing in every respect. The report of Secretary W. F. Keyser contained an account of the work done by the association in prosecuting protective work, showing that large sums have been spent in securing immunity from criminals.

At the session to-morrow, which is the last day of the convention, Harry M. Rubey, cashier of the State Exchange Bank at Macon. will be elected president to succeed J. S. Calfee of the Mechanics' National.

Mr. Rubey, although only 39 years old, has been in the banking bustthe bank he 19 with ten years ago, ness for twenty one years, establishing bringing it to a place high in the plane of Missouri financial institutions. At the meeting of the St. Louis group yesterday, which is known as Group No. and which includes St.

Louis and St. Louis County. J. A. Lewis, cashier of the National Bank of Commerce, was elected chairman, and G.

W. Wilson, vice prestdent and treasurer of the Mercantile Trust Company, was elected secretary, DOCKERY WELCOMES DELEGATES. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock President Calfee called the convention to order and the Reverend J. E. McDonald, pastor of the Lafayette Park Methodist Church, invoked the divine assistance upon the deliberations of those assembled.

President then introduced Governor Dockery to welcome the visitors in the name of the State of Missouri. Governor Dockery said: I speak no mere formal welcome when, in behalf of this Commonwealth, 1 extend you a cordial greeting upon the occasion of your fourteenth annual convention. I welcome you in a spirit of old-time hospitality to the spacious auditorium of building, constructed under the skillful of the State Commission. In Ita beautiful arrangement and imposing architecture this bulling fittingly typities the grandeur and glory of Missouri. nation's greatness is determined in large part by its financial strength.

The development of Anancial strength depends upon the enterprise, the integrity and the business judement of individual and corporate management. The bank, and its contemporary of these latter days, the trust company, represent the silent partner in almost every transaction, and are of themselves a bulwark of strength. They are strong or weak, according to the wisdom and foresight of their officers and directors. In their hands lie the financial secret of every merchant, every tradesman and every profeselonal man in the community. The nature of the banking business is such that Its successful managers must know the standing of each business factor.

SAFEGUARDED LEGISLATION. Hedged about by every safeguard which perience proves to be wise, the financial institutione of this time are shielded by the most effetent legislation. The nation and the State have enacted laws to protect both stockholders and depositors. The laws providing for frequent inspection and examination of loans. and other salutary enactments, are all timely: but in the end their greatest strength rests upon the integrity and capacity of the managing officers.

Bulle and bears wrestle for supremacy in the great money markets. Stocks are up to-day and down to-morrow. Fortunes come to pome in a moment, and sweeping disaster others In the twinkling of an These fluctuations in the swing of the financial pendulum, however, only concern the banker In an Indirect way.

He may not always succeed. but the world encourages his efforts. SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP. Walker Hill, president of the American Exchange Bank, was next introduced, to welcome the visitors in the name of the St. Louls Clearing-house Association.

Mr. Hill reviewed the Fair and its wonders, stating that one week ago there were nearly 29.000 men working on the grounds. Speaking of the bankers' sociation, Mr. Hill said that the association should. with due respect to the rights of all, continue to develop and extend.

J. R. Dominick, president of the Traders' Bank of Kansas City, was then introduced to respond to the addresses of welcome. Mr. Dominick said in part: -few words fall so sweetly the human heart, and there is a sweet cadence in whenever and wherever heard.

"Welcome to St. --this far-famed city--means much and the hospitality which has been showered upon us leads us to believe that your hospitality is boundless. HAS COVERED HERSELF WITH GLORY. You told 119 that you were planning big things and you have more than exceeded our expectations. St.
