' The past year 308 members wers, lost through fallures and withdrawal, but to oftset this loss, 1,139 new members were placed on the roll, B. F. Swinney, chalrman of the executive committee, in presenting the report of the committee council, id that the main item of expense of the assoclation arises from the work of the protection committee in preventing and detecting crime, The com- mittee advocated an increase of dues, grad- uated according to capitalization. The plan of creating a guaranty association, which would include banks and employes, and ‘which would reimburse members for losses occurring through dishonesty was not fa- vored by the executive council. A resolu- | tion tavoring a money order system for banks was approved. The practice of pay- ing interest on dally balances was not com- mended. When the executive committee's report was read @ resolution favoring an increase of dues to add §35,000 to the income of the association was adopted. To Control Fidelity Bonds. The report of the committee on fidelity insurance provoked a very lively discus- slon. The committee favored a plan whereby the association should bond its own employes and offered an amendment to this effect, creating an American Bank- ers’ Guaranty fund, controlled by a board of five trustees to be appointed by the executive council.

Those opposed 'to’ the proposed constitutional amendment argued that the ‘amendment should go ' over for another year. The motion to refer it to 'the ex- ecutive council was lost. "The report of the committee on bureau of education showed that no radical changes had been made during the year and that the work of the bureau had been devoted mainly to the Institute of Amer- fcan Bank Clerks. An address by L. P. Hillyear, cashier of the American National bank of Macon, Ga., closed the regular business of the day's session, His subject was “Money Orders of Bankers' Assoclation.” He pointed out that the dally money or- der businbss of the government and ex- press companies amounted to $1,700,000, and advocated action by the association to se- cure the business of this popular method. He sald the government would not feel competition by the banks, but held that untll the money orders issued by banks could be cashed anywhere, little progress would be made.

Before he gave any testimony Charles M. Schwab and Max Pam were sworn as witnesses. Mr. Canda testified that the company which bore his name and which was taken over by the Shipbullding company had a plant at Cartaret, N. J. At the time the option on it was given it waa, engaged, ho sald, “In an experimental way making #0me motor vehicles.” He said thirty or forty men were employed at the tithe and that he thought 100 or more machines had been made. The witness produced a copy of the op- tion. The agreement for the sale of the plant for $1,100000 was made with J. W. soun‘ but the option was glven to Mr. 'rm: “witness said the plant did no ship- building, but the site and bulldings could be used for certain of the combination's work. The Canda company received $200,000 in cash, $300,000 in bonds, $300,000 in pre- on stock and pald no commission to &nyone. The witness £ald the Canda company had never shown any earnings. Under cross-examl- nation the witness testified that the Canda company had seventy-five stockholders. The $300,000 recelved in cash was used to pay certain indebtedness. The sum. was pald.in three checks. At this point James B. DIl counsel for the Trust Company of the Republic, pro- duced the checks. One was for $100,000, an- other for $§7,00 and the third .for $13,000, Theso checks were made payable to Lewis Nixon, endorsed by him and then handed to Mr, Canda. - Lewis Nixon Testifies. Lewls Nixon succeeded Mr. Canda on the stand. He told of the first attempts to consolidate ‘the shipyards in 100l Andrew Freedman was the man who first proposed the combination, he said, and through hin the witness met J. W. Young. The wit- ness sald the first plan of consolidation was handled by H. W. Poor & Co., but was brought out on a bad day and falled. The witness said he knew C. M. Schwab, who told him of his purchase of the Beth- lehem company. The first direct proposal that the Bethlehem company be purchased by the United States Shipbullding com- pany was made in June, 1902. The witness then told of the meeting at the Lawyers' club in June, 1902, already detalled by D. Le Roy Dresser. Mr. Untermyer wanted to know if Mr. | Schwab had reported that the Bethlehem plant had earned $1,400,000 after paying the interest on underlying mortgages. The question was objected tp by Mr. Guthrie The witness sald he understood that gbove sum to be net earnings. Schwab told the witness that he had pald $7,400,000 for the plant. This sum, with the earnings which had not been taken from the business, amounted to $9,000,000, the sum for which Mr. Schwab sald he would sell: Mr, Dreser baid 39,000,000 was''a Mrge sum o raise at that time. The qu 'Jon of ‘se- curities then came up and hwab ‘agréed to take $10,000,000 in bvm!- t 0. “When we saw Mr. Schwab again,” con- tinued Mr. Nixon, “he sald we would have to give him $10,000,000 of each kind of stock beside the bonds. Mr. Bchwab said he had to give $2,600,000, of each kind of stock to J. P. Morgan & Co.” Nothing was sald as to why Morgan & Co. were to recelve the stock. Mr. Dresser sald he was willing te pay the price. Nixon Did Not Understand. Mr. Nixon could not remember where he had signed an agreement with J, P. Mor- #an & Co. for the sale in cash of the Beth- lehem company. He had signed many .pa- pers at Dresser's office. The agreement had never been explained to him and he could not understand why he had been made a party to it The witness sald he had acted to the best interest of the shipbuilding company and ‘with no idea of any galn for himself. He could not explain why, after the agree- ment to purchase Bethlehem from Mr, Bchwab for $10,000,000 in bonds, $10,000,000 in preferred stock and $0,000,00 in common stock had been made, an agreement was made with Morgan & Co. to buy the plant for $7,200,000 In cash and $5,000,000 in stock. Mr. Nixon told of the passing of the check for §7,200,000 at the office of Morgan & Co. “1 did not have the check long enough to see who signed it,” sald Mr. Nixon. “I do not even know who recelved the check.” The original check was produced by Mr, Guthrie and after identification by the wit- ness and a wrangle between counsel was offered in evidence. The check was for $7,191,791.48 and was drawn in favor of D. of New York, H. R. Dennis of South Da- kota, W. K. Coffey of Wisconsin, Mills B, Lane of Georgia, Willlam Livingston of Michidan, Charles M. SBawyer of Kansas. SAYS AGENT IS AN IMPOSTOR C. M. Green, Fremont Florist, Declares His Firm is & Misrepre- sented and Injureld. C. H. Green, florist, of Fremont, writes the chief of police that the fellow who claims to represent his firm In Omaha is irresponsible and that he is in receipt dally of letters from residents of Omkha, with whom this fellow, atyling himselt “‘Green,” A son of the manager of the firm, has sought to do business. He Tricloses a letter written to the firm by Mre, Charles Setton of 2128 Charles street, in which Mrs. Setton declares that Green threatens to bring suit LeRof D-esser and Lewis Nixon by C. M. Schwab, by his attorney, Oliver Wren. The witness could not explain why while the agreement called for §7,346,000 the cheek Was for $7,191,791.48. Mr. Untermyer asked If there was anyone at the meeting at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. to protect the interests of the ship- bullding company, and the witness sald he and Mr. Dresser were there representing the company. He said he had read the { agreement and seen the stock. He did not examine the stock and understood it was later taken to one of the trust companies, Mr. Nixon testified that Mr. Schwab had sald that he wanted some of the pro- OUT AGAIN What Powerful Food Can Do. motion: profits If therq were any, in erder that he might give some of them to Mr. Gates, of Harris, Gates & Co. Mr. Schwab sald that ,{E" e who bag ajded in the under- writhi hitvé some of the prometion profits. The witness said he talked the mat- ter over with Mr. Young, who sald he would, arrange to give Mr. Sghwab $100,000 in bonds and elther $100.000 or $200,000 in stock. This commitment must have been in addition to the stosk bonus which Mr. Bchwab recelved as underwriter. The wit- ness took to Mr, Schwab a paper on the subject. His recolléction was that Mr Gates' was to got $60,00 in bonds from Mr. Schwab. The witness then related the clrcum- stances under which he had first Induced Mr. Schwab to becote an underwriter.

Alank: Decision May Be Slow, The impression prevaild at the State de- partment today that all the details of the Alaskan Boundary commission decision will not be known until the malls bring coples of the maps and other documents actually laid before the commission.

NO OLD SETTLERS' CLUB YET Dr. George L. Miller Corrects F Impression Derived from Con- flleting Reports. OMAHA, Oct. 21.—To the Edftor of The Bee: An impression seems to exist that an Old Settlers' olub was recently organized in Omaha. This s not so. The idea grew out of the gathering of some of the oldest families,. who have been asso- clated here forty or fitty years, in the home of Judge and Mrs. George W. Doane in compliment to Miss Gillmore and her sister, Mrs, Hough of Chicago, who re- sided here nearly fity years since and who oame out to their old home to visit Mrs. Joseph Barker two or three weeks ago. On that occasion it was suggested that the meeting of old assoclates in the early life of Omaha was so pleasant that it would be & good thing to repeat, and 1 accordingly invited all of Judge and Mrs. Doane’s guests and some others to meet in a wholly infor- mal way at my home next Saturday even- ng. And this 18 all there is to the organization of an old settlers’ club, #o far.as I have any knowledge, If such & club were to be organized it could only be properly done by calling a public meeting for that purpose of persons who lived here in the '80's, '60's or '10's, or at ‘ahy other time that might be agreed upon, after careful consideration. Perhaps some of my guests Saturday evening may propose the organization of 'such an asso- cl-uorn.
