Allen was hostess for the Round Table on Tuesday evening for its fifth meeting of the season, and the attendance was unusually large at the meeting held at her home on Wil- lams street. Ag the topic for the season is South America, the rollcall was answered by haming a product of that continent, with the place where it is found, and the papers were all upon South Ameri- ¢an subjects. These were of special interest and were by Miss Susie C. Whittlesey upon The Production of Coffee and by Miss Mary Wattles upon The Coffee Trust. Because of recent illness, Miss L. Angie Stanton had not been able to prepare her paper upon Mineral Wealth, which had also been upon the programme. A letter from Luther K. Zabriskie, a former member of the Round Table and now stationed at Callao, Peru, in the United States consular service, was read and was of much interest. He is to send a paper later upon Callao. The musical part of the evening was furnished by Mr. Allen with a delight- ful programme with the player-piano.

FIVE MEN IN CONTROL OF DEPOSITS OF $400,000,000 Evidence of New York Bankers' Trust at Money Investigation. ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—The first tes- timony as to a ‘“concentration of money and credit” was heard today by the house banking and currency committee in its investigation of the so-called “money trust.” W. E. Frew, president of the Corn Exchange bank of New York and chairman of the New York clearing house committee, ‘occupied the stand throughout the day and was put through a gruelling examination by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee. Through Mr. Frew, Mr. Untermyer put into the record evidemce of trust agreements by which five men control two of New York’s greatest financial institutions, the-Bankers Trust com- pany and the Guarantee Trust com- pany, with aggregate deposits of near- ly $400,000,000. The bankers trust, Mr. Frew said, was controlled by H. P. Davison, George B. Case and Daniel Grier, the guarantee company by H. P. Davison, George F. Baker and W. P. Porter. These men hold and vote the stock of the companies except enough to allow a board of directors to qualify and under the trust agree- ments have absolute authority over the affairs of the company, even to the acquisition or merger of other insti- tutions. Mr. Untermyer also secured from Mr. Frew a description of the method by whic v was attracted to New York when all country merchants and farmers demand funds for the moving of crops or the accommodation of their business affairs. Mr. Frew said that the money was needed in New York stock exchange for spec- ulative purposes; that country banks kept large sums on deposit in New York and that when the “home” de- mand for money became strong, the New York price of money rose and { the country banks in order to gain the | big interest charges, put their money jout in call loans on the New York | stock exchange. All of these loans are | based ' on stock exchange collateral, Mr. Untermyer elicited. Galician Property Owners Insuring.

Wilbur -Adams of Brooklyn, N. Y, say “A severe bronchial trouble contracteéd in January caused me much difficulty about breathing. My chest felt clogged up and there was con- siderable soreness, all of which made me quite uneasy, besides being very painful. I tried different remedies without help, but I am glad to say that Vinol cured my bronchial trouble which had lasted for three months. My breathing is all right now and the soreness en- tirely gone from my chest.” Vinol contains the curative, healing principles of fresh cod livers (without oil) and tonic iron.
