The bankers convention did but little bus- iness this morning. The delegates started out from the Grand hotel at 8:30 o'clock and took a ride about the city in vehicles pro- vided by the local bankers and citizens. The weather was just right, the strect were neither dusey nor muddy and every- thing was in such condition as to show the city off to the visitors in the best possible fashion. The beautiful residences, shaded drives, paved streets and enchanting glens, called forth many expressions of admiration, the trip through Fatrmount park being espe- cially enjoyed. Al the principal residence streets were driven over and the visitors given full opportunity to appreciate the full beauty of the metropolis of southwestern Towa. Tho morning ession was to have com- menced at 9:30 o'clock, but the dele- ates were so late in returning rom their drive that it was nearly two hours later than that when they re- turncd to the opera house and settled down 10 business. Invitat.on‘from World's Falr Offclals, As an introduction Secretary Dinwiddie read a communication from the management of tho World's fair stating that an inter- national bankers’ congress 1s to be held in Chicago for a veek, commencing Juno 19, and asking that delegates bo appointed by the Tows Bankers association to meet in convention with the delegates from the other states of the country and from Eng- land and France. The following delegates were appointed, ench ono beiug given Lo privilege of appointing a substitute in the event of his being unable to attend: S, F. Smith of Davenport, C. R. Hannan of Coun- cil Bluffs, W. A. McHenry of Denison, J. M. Dinwiddie of Cedar Rapuds, ana J. K. Deming. An invitation was also read from ths secretary of the National Bankers asso- ciation to appoint a delegate to their con- vention, to be held in- Chicago, September 6 and Hon. E. H. Thayer, president of the Towa State Road Improvement association of Clinton, read an interesting paper on the subject, “Good Roads and How They Effect Our Financial Condition.” He opened by making the startling statement that $250,- 000,000 would not cover the annual loss each yearas the result of the present system of bad roads. Of this amount at least $8,000,000 is contributed By the state of Towa to the mud king. When a man’s house 1s burned down, he 15 a loser, but the brickmason, carpenter and plumber are gainers. The money lost through bad roads, on the other hand, is a dead loss, no one recciving the slightest ben- efit from it. He cited the fact that every state in the union is now agitating the sub- ject of better roads as an indication that the present system is nearing its end, He considered the expenditure of the road tax in the present manner a dead loss, for at the end of 1,900 years the roads would be no better than now. The plan suggested borrowing money and securing it by long- time bonds, thus obtaining the necessary funds with which to build good, permanent stone roads. He devoted considerable time to showing that it was often advisable to go into debt for the purpose of making improvements which would pay for themselves a thousand fold in added pros- ll)ol'l!y. He quoted the testimony of R. G. un & Co. of New York in a recent report, to the effect that the present hard times and financial crashes are due more to slow col- lections, caused §by bad roads, than to any imperfections in the monetary system. Mr. Thayer held the closest attention of the con- vention throughout his address. B. Hutchinson, cashier of the First National bank of Ottumwa, read a paper on ‘Iowa Bankers —Their. Duty to the Business Interests of the State and to Kach Other.” ‘I'he president then announced that the plans of the citizens for the entertainment of the delegates this afternoon had rendered it advisable that the morning session be prolonged a little and the afternoon session correspondingly shortened. The first ad- dress of the afternoon sion was accord- ingly read by F. E. Wettstein, cashier of the First National bank of LaPorte City, on the subject of “The Young Man in Banking." Quite alarge proportion of the delegates was composed of young men, and the ad. dress was full of interest, At the Afternoon Segglon. At the afternoon session resolutions were adovted expressive of thanks and apprecia- tion for numerous courtesics, including the ence and address of ex-Comptroller Yates of Omaha and other Thanks were given to the wuyor Council Bluffs, to the motor , ete., ete.; in fact, a “‘thank around. Great care was taken to avoid any committal upon any of the financial questions of the day. The only discussion evoked was upon a simple resolu- tion providing for a change in the manner of electing ofticers, the reform being to the effect that hereafter the officers should be elecied directly by the association, instead of being first nominated by a committee, The proposed change was adopted by a vote . o The following were chosen as officers for- the ensuing year: President, W. A. Mc Henry of Denison; first vice presidents Simon Cassidy of Des Moines; vice pr dents, J. W. Garner, Columbus 'Junction; F- Heintz, Davenport; W. W. Donnan, Inde- pendence; 5. B, Zeigler, West Union; G. W. Glick, Marshalltown; M. B. Hutchinson, Ottumwa; O. P, Wright, Knoxville; C, T. Cole, Corning; A, Itilfi Defiance; A Brown, West Bend; H. Smith, Spencer; treasurer, J. ¥. Latimer, Hampton; secre- tary, J. N. Dinwiddie, Cetar Rapids, Des Moines was chosen as the next place of meeting, State Auditor McCarthy's Addres; The addresses of the afternoon w. interesting and practical as well in m their suggestions. Hon, ( the auditor of state, prefaced the reading of his address by a pleasing tribute to this city, rnd especially to the school for the deaf located here, and which he declared to be very ny of G. McCurthy, ono of the grandest of all the state institutions, fe urged the bankers [0} make o personal inspection of it before leaving the city, both for their own entertainment, and also for their infor- mation us to the wonderful educatory work being done here. His address was upon *The State and Savings Banks of Iowa, and the Growth of Laws Relating to Their Or- ganization,” He spoke of the ease with which any organization, however fraudulent in its nature, could become incorporated without the' state having any con. trol over it. Many people thought that because a company advertised itself as incorporated that it was therefore endorsed by the state as responsible. Hence it was easy to dupe the innocent. Town law in this respect was defective The laws werealso defective in regard to banking and other financial ing i The auditor was made bank comm| but his rulings were subject to review by the courts and the law was often so doubt- ful or aeficient, that it was dificult for such an ofticial to act intelligently and promptly. ‘I'ne law in regard to mrlml stock should be s0 changed as to compel shareholders to pay up in full, instead of paying in some small percent of their stock, and then advertising to the world a large amount of capi. tal stock. If the capital stock needed to be increased it could done in a legitimate way, instead of by a series of us. sessments. The law in regard to the liabili- ties and duties of bank oficials and directors should also be changed so as to afford more protection to stockholders and depositors, All other finaucial institutions, savings and building associations, etc., of whatever nature should be under state control ana subject to state inspection. Thea the publie could be informed as to their real condition. The weaker organizations could be made to trengthen themselves or go out of business. The present feverish condition of financial circles should cause all moneyed institutions 1o be careful about speculutive entervrises, ud thus kee p ves in condition to | gressman Pusey, the well k give needed help to legitimate and perma. nert commercial enterprises, preventing a possible panic, Auditor MeCarthey then gave an interest. ing statistical review and showing of the rowth of savings banks and state banks in owa since 1575, at which time there were only n inetee slrll|1! banks, whh a total capital of #55,000 and total liabilities and assets of €,201,000, Tn 1802 the number of savings banks had increased to 104 with a capital of $5,304 000 and total gssets of £32,. 705,000 In 1873 there were twonty-three other bunks in Towa with a total capital of about #1,000,000 and assets reaching nearly $4,000,000. Tn 1862 the number of such banks had increased to 141 with a capital of §7,430,- 000 and assets of $20,747,000, Ex-Congressman Pusey Speaks, The closing address of the day and of the convention was that delivered by ex-Con- bwn and pioneer banker of Council Bluffs, who gave some very interesting reminiscences of the early day, narrating them with the usual vigor and eloguence which ever marks his public addresses. He digressed a little from the subject assigned him, but this was par- donable as the incidents which he so thrill- ingly pictured were of more than mere local interest. He told of the visit of Abraham Lincoln to Council Bluffs in 1850, At that time Mr. Lincoln was accompauied by the then secretary of state of Illinois, Mr. Hatch, and these two gentlemen in company with 'Mr. Pusey and N. S. Bates, took a carriige drive _ about the = city. On _ reaching ‘‘Look-out Point," on the bluff near the present rosi- dence of Lucius Wells, they alighted and walking to the edge of the seeming precipice took 1 the Eflnd view of bluffs, bottoms and river. The details of the conversation as told by Mr. Pusey were very interesting. Mr. Lincoln was greatly impressed with the beautiful scenery, but still more by the out- reaching and just-developing west, the very ateway to which seemed to lay at his feet. Che talk was about the proposed building of the Union Pacific, and the provision in the law which made it the duty of the president to fix upon the terminus on this side of the river and within certain bounds. ‘‘Perhaps, Mr. Lincoln, you may be clected president, and it may be your duty to deter- mine this location,” remarked Mr. Pusey. To this Mr, Lincoln made no reply, but stood with folded arms in contemplative mood until he suddenly burst out with, +Nature seems to have made that bottom there and the Platte valley, just to build railroads on, doesn’t shei” Then he continued, “By the way I mo. ticed coming ~on tho boat that you have a little river which is called the Weeping Water. Do you know if I was a member of the Nebraska legislature the very first thing I would do would be to. introduce bill to change the name of Weeping Water? ou kuow up iu Minniesota tiiey have a river which they have very appropriately named Minnchaha, the laughing waters. Now, 1 think they ought to change the name of Weeping Water to something more appropri- ate and pretty, change it for instance to Minneboohoo. Lincoln's Iowa Farm. Mr. Pusey narrated numerous other inci- dents ot Mr. Lincoln, among them being the fact thaton thissame visit Mr. Lincoln, while in the office of Mr. Pusey, pulled out of his pocket an old, greasy paper, and asked if they wouldn't see about its being filed for him. It proved tobea land war- rant issued to him as a captain in the Black Hawk war. We askedshim why he had not entered the land before, and he said that he had been keeping it to show his boys that he had o war record. After some other like humorous remarks he left it with Mr. Pusey tolocate the land. He did so for him in A horse trade a feow davs ago with a liveryman named J iovin-. o latter claims Peterson re| ted that the horse he owned was withot imcumbrance, but after the trade had been completed he found that the animal, w! value was about $20, was blanketed by a fiortgage in favor of one Fuerhauken for #18. He tried to induce Peterson to settle, but de refused to do so.

Anderson of the Council Bluifs Insurance Company Arrested, A sensation, which has been brewing for some days past, culminated yesterday morn- ing in the arrest of J. Q. Anderson on the charge of breaking open mail which was not intended for him. Mr, Anderson is the sec- retary and one of the principal stockholders in the Council Bluffs Insurance company, and the complaint was filed in the United States district court by Henry Coffeen. whao, until last Tuesday, was a stockholder in the same company Coffeen’s action, according to the state- ment of one of the dircetors of the comvany, is the result of malice, pure and simple. Coffeen came into the company a year ago last November and was appoiuted treasurer at o salary of $1,000 per year. From the start three was considerable friciion ~ between him and Anderson, who had been with the company a long time, buteverything went along without any open rupture until a few days ago. A couple of weeks ago Coffecn demanded an increase in salary of 8200 per year, but it was refused. There was ameeting of the directors at which it was decided that if Coffecn wanted to goonat theold salary, well and good; otherwise, he could leave. ~ He left. The other members of the company had been doing a_little quiet investigation on their own hook and ‘learned that Coffeen enraged, as they claim, at the refusal of the Crawford county, mear the home of the | directors to increase his salury, had retained y elected president of the Bankers as- [ the services of ‘un attorney and sociation. Abouta year ago the noted son | Was about to commence an action to have of the murtyred president sent word from England to sell the land, and the 100 acres were disposed of. EIn 1803 Mr. Pusey had the privitege of meeting President Lincoln in Washington. Mr. Lincoln insisted on his sitting down and talking over Council Bluffs, ‘*He inquired about some of those whom he bad met on his visit here—Judge Baldwin, Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer, and jocosely asked if Mrs. Bloomer still wore bloomers. Stepping to where hung a map of the Union Pacific and the con- tiguous country, he placed his finger on the point where he haa stood in 1859, and said he should nover forget the impressions made by the scene which nature had spread before him. Knowing that Mr. Lincoln had an intorest in some lana near the pres- ont location of tho Union Pacific trans- fer in Councll Bluffs, I suggested to him that this property would surely be euhanced 1n value, and he would make well by it. Mr. Lincoln shook his head. He said thut'a Mr. Judd was_interested In that land with him, and that he was so certain that ho would be elected president, and would have to determine the location of the termi- nus, that he had Judd take the property off his hands, 80 that it might never be said that he had made a single dollar by his de- cision, or could impugn his motives in the slightest degree,” Driven Through the Clty. At the close of the afternoon session the delegates left the opera house for another trip about the city. A motor train took them to the corner of Eighteenth street and Avenue A, where they found a train of Burlington coaches take them out to the new brid B, After looking the ground over they returned to the city and ok a run down to Lake Manawa ona special train which Mayor Reed of Manawa bad fitted out for them. Thus ended one of the most enjoyable conventions the assoctation has ever held. The exer- cises of both days were noticeable on account of their interest for outsiders s well as for the bankers, and thd citizens who failed to attend missed o great treat, The Council Bluffs bankers, headed by C. R. Hannan, deserve great credit for the manner in which the arrange- ments were made and the details of the con- vention carried out. The delegates leave for their homes carrying with them many happy memories of theéir stay here, and the citizeus of Council Bluffs have the same feeling toward them. etts paper, speaking of the lecture of Rev. J. H. Armstrong, on *The Stuff Men Are Made Of,” says it could not be commended too highly.

They also learned that he had been to Omaha and had a conference with ‘State Auditor C. G. McCarthey in which he asked him to take hold of the company and wind up its affairs, alleging that it was insolvent. The state auditor himself is responsible for this tastement but whenj Coffeen was asked about it denied even having been in the auditor’s office. In order to prevent Coffeon from making any further efforts to bring about the dissolution of the company the other members bought out his stock, paying him a large advance on the actual value, Coffeen then devoted his attention to making things warm’for Anderson, whom he blamed for the action of the directors in refusing him his demand for extra pay. Be- fore leaving the city Coffeen told Anderson, 50 that gentleman states, that he expected some mail from Moline, Ill., with refer- ence to some _insurance business, and authorized him to open it. By mistake Anderson opened a letter \\iflch proved to be from a woman at Carroll, Ta., and Coffeen immediately jumped at the chance of opening & hornet's “nest in close proximity to Anderson's ears. When Ander- son was arrested on the charge of violating the United States luw he immediately before Commissione: J. Steadman, w examination, and wi bound over to the grand jury, his bond bemg fixed at $1,000. With regard to the insolveney of the com- pany, the members ussert that the charges made by Coffeen are entirely without foun- dation. They say that Coffeen was ready and anxious 10 boom the company if they would raise his salary £16 r month, but when he learned that they would uot raise it he suddenly discovered that the company could not pay its losses.
