Probably never before in the history ot the Traffic associa- tion has there been provided a bet- ter informed group of speakers cap- able of outlining the transportation requirements and benefits of England, the bureau announces.

Clif- ford §. Beattie, vice president of the | Lehigh and Hudson River railroad | will tell of the benefits of a (con- necting) short line railroad to New | England.

Charles J.

He entered railroad service in 1890 as a clerk with the Dayton, IFort Wayne and Chicago railway and advanced through vari- ous positions to the office he now liolds.

The bank’s present difficulties are largely the result of a heavy shrink- age in commercial deposits. This steady drain has naturally forced liquidation of quick assets and has weakened the reserve position to a point where suspension was neces- sary.

This money was voluntarily advanced for the protection of depositors.

Dr. Barton said he opposed the solitary cell as a means of punish- ment. He thought it would be h to find a substitute for it. In his opinion it would be better to inflict corporal punishment under a re- sponsible official than to give a man solitary confinement. Dr. Barton recommended segrega- tion of prisoners and their classifi- cation but said this could not be done as the prison has not the nec- essary accommodations.
