COMPTROLLER ASKS | FOR LIST OF LOANS M | U. 8. Banking Department Seeks to | Know if State Usury Laws | Are Being Violated, ! OTHER UNUSUAL QUESTIONS WASHINGTON, Jan 6.—The | comptroller of the currency today is- sued a call to all national banks re quiring them to report to him their | condition at the close of business on | Friday, December 31 | In today's call the comptroller | goes further than at any previous | time to learn if money is being | loaned by national banks in viola- tion of state usury laws. He asks| for a list of loans by all banks dur- ing 1915, “upon which interest was charged or collected, either in the | shape of interest, discount or com- mission, at rates which would amound to more than the equivalent of 6 per cent per annum.' “Banks are cautioned,’ says the call, “to prepare this statement with care and accuracy. It errors or discrepancies | should be discovered, which may seem to make it necessary to verify the re- ports sumbitted by all banks, the bank examiners will be given instructions ac- cordingly.” The call also asks banks to state whether it is thelr custom to require borrowers to carry deposits when loan are granted, how much they are now loaning to non-depositors, and how much | is loaned and not secured by collateral. | The aggregate of amounts which bor rowers have refused to pay banks because of alleged usury is asked, and also the total payments made by banks as penal- tles for usury. The call asks for complete information as to liabilities, salaries and connections of officers and directors of banks.

Dr. Buxton's voice trembled several | times, but was heard clearly through all | parts of the house. In language of great force and beauty Dr. Jones pald the peoples’ tribute to | the memory of their distinguished fellow | citizen. Rev. Dr. Jones sald in part: Address of Dr. Jones. “We have assembled today in this home, which has become historic, to ac-! knowledge the sovereign presence of Al-| mighty God in human affairs, to pay a tribute of affectionate gratitude to the memory of the most distinguished citizen of Council Bluffs and Iowa, to draw fur- ther Inspiration from the remembrance of his splendid gifts and achievements, to express our heartfelt sympathy with the members of this large company of be- reaved friends and to seek the unspeak- able comfort which is revealed in our| common and precious religion, The ob- ject of the service is not to attempt to| recount the biographical details, the thril- ling incidents or the extraordinary tri- umphs of General Dodge's eventful ca-| reer. With these every reader of history is already familiar. A Spiritua] Man, “It hardly needs to be sald that General | Dodge was not indifferent to the spirit- ual side of life. The hymns selected by him to be sung on this occasion pro- claim in unmistakable language his un- faltering bellet in God and the future life. They breathe the aspiration ex- pressed in the prayer of an anclent leader of men, ‘Lead me to the rock that Is higher than 1’ Back of his magnificent self-reliance, his rare energy of will, his power of mystifying strategy and invinci- ble valor, he felt with Cardinal Newman that ‘there are only two luminously self- evident beings, myself and the Creator.’ Practical Idealtst. “The progress of the world always has cn carried on by elect personalities. #ue best type of a dreamer bullds castles, first in the air, then on the solid earth Men of vision have led the wérld in all departments of human activity. General lge was a practical idealist. Behind all his performances, both as a rallroad builder and soldier, was a seeing soul. | lils achlevements were the results of | what one of the supreme thinkers of the | has described as ‘the energy of| ages faith.’ He came into the richly en dowed pyhsically and mentally. The fact that ne reached his eighty-fifth vear demonstrates that he must have preserved and guarded his heritage well. Both as | « soldier and railroad builder he endured | ,.m.,ld hardships, He was acquainted with all the delirious horrors of war. He saw the belching flames and heard the deafening roars of the noblest batterles | that ever thundered In defense of liberty. | Yet he outlived all the prominent leaders in the clvil war. A born engineer, a great soldier, a man of inflexible will, invinci ble courage, unswerving loyalty, sound judgment, blunt frankness, .deep insight into men, and of spiritual susceptibilities— these sum up the qualities which brought fame to General Dodge. and, through | him, a large measure of honor and suc- | cess to Council Bluffs, lowa and our country world soldlers At the conclusion of the service six stalwart young soldiers lifted the casket from the bier and bore it with measured tread to the gun calsson, strapped it securely to the vehicle, then spread over it the black winding sheet, which in turn was alwn hidden by a huge silk flag. Then, drawn by six black horses, coutered as if to drag the battery into action, the heavy cart lumbered away, followed by the procession that stretched half way across the town. The riderless sleed, equipped with military saddle and accoutrements was led behind. Strapped to the saddle was the sword General Dodge carried during the civil war and with which he led his commands many times to vietory, i libearers. There were no flowers on the gun cais- son, but it required three automobile trucks to convey the floral tributes from the house to the cemetery T L ary pall bearers were all local men. They w E. 1.

At the cemetery the simple military services were conducted in the presence of thousands. Nearly 60 members of the lowa and Nebraska National Guard who had followed the calason, etood attention, The old soldiers, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Union Veteran leglon conducted the last military rites. By re- quest . of Brigadier peral Lincoln, Joseph 1. Rosenfeld of this city sounded “taps.” Mr. Rosenfeld was coln's regular trumpeter in the Iifty- fifth Towa militia. He had also been se- lected by General Dodge whenever the general had anything to do with a mili- tary funeral in Council Bluffs. Following “taps,” the Dodge Light- guards, first organized by General Dodge before the beginning of the civil war, fired the salute across the grave. As the roar of the guns died away the bills picked it up and echoed and re-echoed it with fainter and fainter tones until it was lost to the ear and General Dodge was laid to rest on the spot he had selected underneath the whispering trees he loved and which he n grow from the acorn. Then the great concourse of peo- ple silently moved away Flags at Half Statf. Up at the brick mansion, which Gen- |eral Dodge built and where he has lived for forty years, the flag was at half staff. At a front room of the house was the casket, covered with a flag and with a soldier guard of honor. The room ana an adjoining room were full of flowers, Stewart, Davis had se {some of them sent by men of national prominence. Shortly before 1 o'clock the carrlages began to arrive. Scores and scores of them brought the mourners. The house could not hold all. They filled the avail- able room, even to the library, where autographed pictures of Abraham Lin- coln, General Sherman, Theodore Roose- velt and many others of General Dodge's friends, filled that part of the walls not | filled by the bookcases. Vacant Saddle The streets outside the house were an impressive sight as the casket was car- | rled to the waiting gun carriage and the long cortege began to form, the military companies marching slowly into their position, the black cavalry horse with reversed saddle and empty boots in the stirrups, aged members of the general's former command in the civil war and dis- tinguished visitors, And over all floated jthe sad and mornful, but nobly Inspir- ing strain of the *“Dead March” from “Saul,” played by the Third regiment | band.
