[d J [ e OMAHA AS A BANKING CENTER re of the Oity's Commeroial Life Little Understood. MILLIONS OF COUNTRY MONEY HELD HERE Business Necessitates the Carrying of Lnrge Balances Locally by the Bankers of the Interior. of the State. Omaha 18 the banking center, not only for Nebraska, but for the northwest, particu larly for the states of Wyoming, South Da kota, Montana and Idaho. When the reports of the conditions of the banks are published there are two items which show relatively the position occupied by the several banks with their fellows Generally the first of these Items shows the amount dus by the bank to other natlonal banks; the second is usually the amount due to state banks and private bankers. Theee “‘bank deposits, they are called, are a pecullar form of lability and are dif ferent In a measure from other deposits, as, while subject to check, thoy bear a stal rate of interest upon daily balances, which @t this time in Omaha s 2 per cent. Very fow deposite in Omaha banks, subject to check, bear interest and for this reason at lenet one Omaha bank looks upon country bank deposits as undesirable and has prac- tically eliminated them from its business As a general thing, however, the city banker is not averse to these deposits, as, while they are, in a way, expensive, they aro certaln and are not subject to such variations ae the individual deposit subject 1o check. At the present time Omaha banks bave reached the highwater mark of bank deposits, the last statement, published July 15, showing a total amount of bank deposits of $12,433,568.48. This amount comes from national banks and state and private banks from all parts of the country, the principal part coming from the west and northwest. Relation to Whole Deposits. Local bankers say that at the present time the deposits of the bankers of the state of Nebraska will form about one-half of the national bank deposits and two- thirds of the deposits of state and private banks now in the strong boxes of the Omaha bankers. The total deposits of the national and etate banks of Nebraska, fic- cording to the last published statements, would therefore be in the nelghborhood of $0,738,351, an amount unprecedented in the history of the banks of this city and state. Tho feeling between the bankers of the state and those of Omaba has generally been pleasant, but at times thero has been some friction. At the present time the country banks of Nebraska and the Omaha bankers are on the best of terms, and Omaha s recelving the support of prac- tically every banker in tha state. Until last June there was some complaint by bankers of the state In regard to two rules | of the Omaha clearing house. Under the first objectlonable rule, the Omaha banks refused to pay interest on the first $1,000 deposited by country banks. In other words in computing interest they subtracted that amount from the principal amount. This meant much to the Omaha banker, and in the ageregate was quito a 10ss to the coun- try banks, The second rule which displensed tho |country banker was one providing that ‘whore caeh ftems—such as drafts upon other banks—wero sent to Omaha bauks, they iwould be recolved only for collection in jcase the amount was in excess,of $100. !By this course the item was not credited to the account of the country bamk for @overal days, and they lost the Interest on ithe money. Last June the matter was brought before the clearing house assocla- tlon and the two objectionable rules were repealed. The repeal of these rules has Do doubt: caused at least a part of the vast increase shown in the bank deposits in the city banks during the current year. Amount Coming from Nebraska. In this connection a few figures may be interesting. Using the basis given by the Omaha .banker quoted above, in determin- ing the proportion of bank deposits to be accredited to Nebraska banks, the follow- | 10g table will show the approximate amount of money from Nebraska banks on deposit 1o Omaha in the years given: 1893. ly. 568,06 831,067.44 Btate bank deposits..$1, Nat'l bank deposits. . 1805, §inte bank depostts. 3L1ms12t $1,187,395.68 at’l bank deposits.. 1,063,680.2¢ 902,074.19 Total.... 1597 State bank deposits..$1,136,33.44 Nat'l bank deposits.. 1,440, Total.. 1598, Btate bank deposits..$2,650,605.96 Nat'l bank deposits Total 70,381.23 $4,926,937.19 1800, tate bank deposits. .3 at'l bank deposits.

Mementoes of McKinley THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, “PTEMBER 29, 1901. 19 || Souvenirs of His Life in the White House. The last of the personal effects of Mrs McKinley and her lamented husband have been gathered together in the White House and packed, preparatory for shipment to Canton. A correspondent of the New York Sun says that President McKinley and his wife had only a little furniture of their own in the White House, all necessary arti- cles of that sort belng provided by the gov- ernment, but of clothing and bric-a-brac and varlous valuable souvenirs of Mr. Mc- Kinley's term in office there is a very large etock. Some of the artieles are of con- siderable Intrinsic value, and among the number are at least a score or two that will be dearly prized by Mrs. McKinley as me- mentoes of his great career and as re- minders of the loving esteem in which he was held by the people. Although some of the presents of greatest intrinsic value, which have been glven to President MeKin- ley during the last five years, were stornd away in other places for safekeaping, there are still & very largs number of things In the White House which represent a large value, even as old gold and sliver. Among these are the beautiful vases presented to tho late president by the president of France, a 6olid gold plate, weighing at least LWo or three pounds, presented to Mr. Mc- Kinley last spring by the Knights Templar of California, and other articles made of the preclous metals, elaborately embossed ana engraved with appropriate inscriptions. All these presents Mr. McKinley kept in his library in the White House, some of them In plain view of such visiting fntimate friends as he sometimes received there, The late president also had a conslderable number of books fn this library and in other Frooms in the private part of the mansion, Which were his personal property and which will be &hipped to the Canton home of Mra. McKinley. During the first three years of hie administration the president had a number of pleces of furniture in the private apartments of the Whitc House, but when his Canton home was remodeled and enlarged these were removed thither, m, that thero 1s now practically nothing in the way of chairs, tables, bureaus or other pleces cf household furniture remaining {n the executive manslon. The Roosevelt Lineage | Mr. T. Lloyd Owens of Savannah, Ga., in a letter to the New York Sun, gives the following account of President Roosevelt's southern ancestry: “By reason of the Intimacy which in for years existed between my own family and the ancestors of President Roosevelt on his mother's side, who for generations were resldents of SBavannah, 1 am somewhat famillar with the history of the latter, and thoughts of much interest In connection with them have come into my mind. “Archibald Bulloch, great grandfather ot Martha Bulloch, President Roosevelt's mother, had been the president of the provincial congress of Georgla in 1776 and 1776. He had been a delegate to the Conti- nental congrees which convened at Phila- delphia on September 13, 1775. He had been president of Georgla in 1776 and was the first man to read and promulgate the Declaration of Independence in Georgla. “‘Could James Stephens Bulloch, his grandson, have imagined that he was then standing at an equal distance in his line betweéen a grandfather who had been & president—of & province—and a grandson who might some day become a president of the United States. “In 1795 John Elllott, who was born at the Medway settlement in Liberty county in this state, on October 13, 1773, and who, in later life represented his state in the senate, married In his native town Miss Esther Dunwody. “From this union came a daughter, Hes- ter Amarintha. Her mother died, and on December 21, 1817, in the Old Meeting house At Medway, she was foined In matrimony to James Stephens Bulloch. By this union there was but one chi'd, James D. Bulloch, who achieved much fame in the service of the confederate states. ““Within one week after this marrlage, on January 6, 1818, the bride's father, Senator John Elliott, married at the same place where his daughter had preceded him to the altar but a few days previous, his sec- ond wife, Miss Martha Stewart, a daughter When the late president and Mrs, McKin- ley went to Canton early in July the greator part of thelr personal wardrobes was car ried there, but thers remains here a large amount of clothing besides a thousand-and- one odds and ends of things such as always accumulate in every household. It was not until today that all these articles were removed. A part of the goods that will be shipped to- Canton consists of souvenirs of Presi- dent McKinley's extensive tours over the continent Sverywhere he went In his travels, extending over not less than 30,000 or 40,000 miles, he recelved some. token or tokens of the es of his tellow citizens. A president always recelves many gifts also from notoriety seekers and pereons who are eager to display to the president the results of their own handiwork. One man two or three years ago gave to President McKinley a large model of a full-rigged ship with every part of the vessel perfect in detall. Another sent a bottle, inelde of which had been arranged a framework of sticks, which causes one to marvel how it could have been constructed with only the small neck of the bottle through which to work. president McKinley received prob- ably not less than forty or fifty canes dur- ing the first administration, nearly all of them representing the handiwork of some vateran of the civil war or some person who had occupied idle moments In executing specimens of rude skill in carving. These are samples of hundreds of articles that were presented to Mr. McKinley and which are presented to every president dur- IDg his term in the White House. Mr. Mo- Kinley always had these scrupulously pre- served, although some of them were rather cumbersome and bulky and of no possible value or interest. They were stored in the spacious attic of the White House and thence they have been removed during the last few days, the dust removed and the articles packed in boxes for shipment to Ohlo. Not less than fifty flags were ro- celved by President'McKinley as presents trom various persons and organizations. On the Pacific tour alone, last epring, he re- celved ten or twelve flags, the staffs often of General Daniel Stewart of revolutionary fame. “There were three children of this mar- rlage: Miss Susan Elllott, who married Dr. Hilborne West of Philadelphla; Miss Georgia Elltott, who died unmarried, and Mr. Danfel Stewart Elliott, who married Miss Lucy Sorrel. “In the course of time Senator John El- liott_died, leaving his widow, Mrs. Martha Stewart Elllott. His daughter, Hester Amarintha Bulloch, also dled, leaving her widower, James Stephens Bulloch. By the unfon of these two survivors on October 9, 1832, President Roosevelt's grandfather married his deceased wife's stepmother. “From this marriage eprung Miss Martha Bulloch, who married Theodore Roosevelt, sr., 10 1853; Miss Annle Bulloch, who mar- ried James K. Gracle, and Irvine Bulloch, who married Miss Sears. And this Mise Martha Bulloch, or “Mintie"” Bulloch, as she is still spoken of by the friends of her younger days, was the mother of the pre- sent president. “It was somewhere in tho 40s that Misa Martha Bulloch's half-sister, Miss Susan Elllott, married Dr. Hilborne West of Phila delphia, at Roswell, in Cobb county, Ga. where the Bulloch-Elliott family was then residing. Dr. West brought along with him as one of his attendants Theodore Roosevelt, 6r. Then it was that he met Miss Martha Bulloch, who eubsequently married him after courtship of several years, from which union has come to these United States thelr present president, Theodore Roosevelt. As to the president’s Dutch descent Rich- ard Henry Greene gives the following de- talls in the New York Tribune “Clars Martenze Van Roosevelt came to America from Holland before 1650. In that year, October 13, Claes Martenzen had a chlld, Christian, baptized in this city. When his daughter Elsie was baptized, January 11, 1652, he Is called Claes Martenszen Van Roosevelt. He was residing in Ulster county belng carved from pleces of wood with his toric assoctations. Nearly all of these were preserved in his library, and they have been packed in a separate box for shipment to Mrs. McKinley. Secrotary Cortelyou will go to Canton for the purpose of disposing of thess ef- fects in the McKinley home and to attend to some important matters in connection With the late president's estate. When Mr. Cortelyou succeeded John Porter as the president's secretary, he was asked by President McKinley one day to write some checks for him, to which the president placed his own signature. This was the beginning of a participation in Mr. McKinley's private affairs, which Mr, Cortelyou entered into very fully within a short time He became the president’s business manager, 80 far as his private affairs were concerned. It became known to many of the president’s personal friends some time ago, although not through any breach of faith on the part of Mr. Cortel- you, that Mr. McKinley's personal affairs were In very bad shape. While his devo- tion to the business of the nation was such as to arouse the highest admiration, his methods in transacting personal business were very easy golng. It should be sald, however, that this method did not apply to his obligations to others, for he paid his bills promptly, and when he dled he had | not a debt in the world. His debtors, how- ever, were not always so careful, and until Mr. Cortelyou became his assistant, many persons had owed Mr. McKinley money for a long time without ever having been dis- turbed by a request to pay. An intimate personal friend of the presi- dent in Washington, who, while having no active part in the late president's affairs, | was in a position to know, Informed the Sun_correspondent that Mrs, McKinley incomo would probably amount to about $13,000 a year. This statement assumes that congress will grant to Mrs. McKinloy a penslon of $5,000 a year, as It did in the case of President Garfleld's widow. The gentleman already quoted said that he had no doubt congress would o this, for it iy quite as appropriate to pension the widow of a president who is assassinated as to grant a similar annuity to the widow of a soldler who dies on the fleld of battle, Southern Ancestry and Dutch Forbears, v in 1689, and Nicholas, the son through whom President Roosevelt comes, married Heyltyn, daughter of Jan Kunst, in Ulster, but came to this clty, where he was alder- man 1698-1701. He died July 30, 1742. “Johannes Roosevelt, born at Esopue, February 27, 1869, married Heltje, daughter of Olfert Suerts, from Heerenveen, Holland. Johann was assistant alderman 1717-27 and alderman 1730-33. They had eleven chil- dren, of whom I have a record, between 1709 and 1731, He died before 1751. My own ancestor, Cornelius Roosevelt, was the youngest child, “Jacobus Roosevelt, the ninth child, was born August 13, 1724, married December 4, 1746, Annactjo Bogaert, an own cousin of his brother Cornellus' wife, both being grandchildren of Claes Bogaert, son of Jan, Who emigrated from Holland in 1663, re- sided in Bedford, Long Island. With his wife, Cornelia Everts, he made a joint will giving ten gullders as a memorial to the poor. He was a patentee of Harlem 1672 and maglstrate 1675-76. Claes was born fn Bedford 1668, married Beeltje Van Schaack and secord Greetje Conselye of Bushwick. “Jacobus Roosevelt, jr., the fifth genera- tion in America, was born October 25, 1739, He was a merchant in this city. He mar- ried Moria Van Schaak March, 1793, (New York Magazine). She was born De- cember 23, and died He died Oc 15, 1840, 8., the youngest son, born January 30, 1794, In Maiden Lane, married Margaret Barnhill. She died January 1861, and her husband, the president's grandfather, on July 17, 1871 “Thelr son, Theodore Roosovelt, the prezident's father, born eptember 22, 1831, Was a man everyone respected. He took part in charitable work and refused high office from a republican president. He died February 9, 1878, “This i the line which has glven us our chief. There never has heen a etain or sus- plcion on any one of tLn thus far." Nat'l bank deposits Total | There is an ebb and flow in the bank de- | posits governed by the season as well as by the gemeral condition of the country. | Usually the deposits are heavier in the | summer than in the winter, the excess of | deposits over withdrawals Dbeginning to show about the time the farmers begin t6 | plant in the spring and continulng until the harvest. Then the withdrawals exceed the deposits and this condition continues until after the bolldays. An inspection of the table above will show that in the first year mentioned, 1893, the deposits In the winter months exceeded the deposits in the summer months. This was the beginning of the panic and the senson of hard times. Banks could not af- ford to lend money on a falling market They called in all loans and sent their money to Omaha for safekeeping. The ex- cess in the winter months in 1897 1s sald by local bankers to have been caused by a flurry which did not last long, and wag local in Ite nature. Since that {ime the regular tone has been maintained, With constantly increasing figures. The galn in the bank deposits for the last year, taking the months of July, has been $3.384,456.71, and | since the beginning of the period covered in | the table $7,665,437.62, a percentage of gain | hardly equaled in any line of the banking | busine 1901 tate bank deposits..$6.42 at'l bank deposits Potaliietis 3 Loan Business is Light. It 1s not impossible that this gain will be increased during the fall, as prospects are not bright for a strong legitimate demand for money in the state. The stock feeders are not borrowing ,as ususl on account of | the high price of corn, and much cattle | paper, which has generally come to the local banks, will be out of the market. Speaking of the business of Omaha bank- ers with state banks one of the former sald: | “Divide the state into three equal parts from north to south and bank for bank, t most money comes to Omaha from the east- | ern part. The central section and the west- ern section, bank for bank, are about equal although the aggregate will be greater in the former, but the western banks, dealing as they do with stockmen, carry large sums of money in Omaha for the accommodation of their customen, “Now, If the state be divided in the other way, taking the lines of the Burlington, the Union Pacific and Elkhorn roads, the great- est part of the business comes from the central portion. In the South Platte coun- try the Omaha banks have to compete with St. Joseph and Kansas City, but in the last President . K.
