WOLCOTT URGES CHANGES IN LAW GOVERNING BANKS State Department Should Be Enlarged, Commissioner Says. Appointment of a legislative committee to work for a revision of Inuiana banking laws was urged by Eben H. Wolcott, State bank comj missloner, before the Indiana Bank- ■ ers Association at the Claypool today. These changes in the law are needed, he said: Restricting expenditures of banks as to buildings and fixtures. Some institutions have practically their . entire capital invested in buildings and fixtures. The law as to cash reserve should be more clearly defined and the | banking department should be ! given more authority in matter of i excess loans. ! Changes In the law regarding rei celverships. If the banking depart - I ment were placed in charge of banks ! going into receivership, Instead of j individuals being named, it would re- ! suit in big saving. Wolcott said. He j said this is done in twenty-eight ! States. i Enlargement of the State banking ■department. In 1912. when there were 752 banks doing a total of $325,090,000 in business. Today there are 860 banks doing business of $822,000,000, Wolcott said. The j banking department has only two ! more examiners tha nit had in 1912. There have been only three State ! bank failures since Octol>er, 1923, | he said.

DETECTIVES LINE PATHS LEADING TO PRINCELY FEASTS All on Watch for Raffles, but No Raffles Makes Call. By Vnftrd Prefa JERICHO, L. 1., Sept. 11—It was a chilly night for a “Raffles." Orchestral strains came faintly across the lawns from the brightly lighted home of W. K. Yandc-rbilt, where the Prince of Wales was being entertained. Outside the walls of Jericho, the populace and the press blew on blue fingers and stamped to keep warm, wishing for a Joshua to blow down the walls and let them in. Gravel popped from tinder balloon tiros as luxurious limousines with arriving guests skidded to a stop at the gateway. It was like the old Army days of “halt, who goes there?” Credentials Everybody had to have c red on-, tials. and good ones, to get a start up the driveway toward the house. The jewfti robbery at Joshua Cosden’s caused the precautions. There were gray clad State troopers, blue coated constables, lynx-eyed secreservice men and waxed mustached Scotland Yard detectives. Across the lawns now shadowed by "the imported yew tfees, now revealed by searchlights playing from the housetop upon a marble, flowered court, walked with that revealing flat-footed gait, a host of private sleuths in plain clothes. Throughout the house where sixty sat at dinner with his highness, all at one table at a simple ten-course repast, other plain clothesmen disguised as butler, maids, guests and plain clothesmen tip-tqed. Xot a jewel was lost. Xot a pearl disappeared from a matronly bosom nor a diadem from a brow fevered a bit at the presence of royalty. The prince danced. His eye is getting well. Ho will be able to see the polo games If there ever is any. The grounds around the house had been strewn with flowers and cosy "nooks for two-somes had been prepared. But it was too cold, even for blue blood. Finally the goose-fleshed gathering outside the walls decided that they were not going to fall and went home. And shivering detectives wished they could, too. No Raffles “Raffles” didn’t show up. Probably It was too cold for his lingers. If Wales went to bed at all, he did not stay there long, for the clear notes of the huntsman’s horn went winding down dells and dales at dawn and the Prince with fifty gentlemen and ladies of Long Island, rode to the hounds. A fox was jumped an hour later and the loud tongued pack from the F. Ambrose Cltfk and the Robert E. Tod estates picked up the scent. At 10 o’clock a smiling prince with matted yellow hair showing beneath his hunting cap as he doffed it to the villagers, rode home tfc> the Burden estate. His Highness rode a white horse. After the Prince had divested himself of the Wright yellow sweater which had made him a striking figure galloping In the van of the hunt, he expressed himself as delighted with the ride. When it came to the jumps, which were stiffer than thase ordinarily encountered In England, Wales put his big white hunter over them all, Captain Lascelles said. Three ladies, It appear®, took tumbles, -but none was seriously hurt. This afternoon it was more polo and Wales positively is not going to the Wills-Firpo fight.

Here’s How to Stew Grapes and Stay Out of Jail

'''IHIS is the time to stew the T lucious grape Into juice. * Now get this right—stew the grape into juice. Suppose the darn stuff ferments. What should one do? "Do!

WHEELER BRANDS DAVIS AS TOOL - DF BIG BUSINESS Independent Candidate for President Centers Attack on, Democrat, ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 11.— Progressive guns were turned on John W. Davis, the Democratic candidate, as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, stumping spokesman for the La Follette ticket, today wound up his ham-storming tour with a series of speeches at this western rim of the State. Wheeler detailed a list of charges against Davis which he contended prove conclusively that the .Democratic nominee is "more to the liking of Wall Street than is this careful, courageous, sober, silent, unthinking man who sits in the White House.” Refers to Letter The counts in Wheeler’s indictment of Davis included: 1. That Davis bragged in an open letter last April that he had “a fine list of clients, including J. P. Morgan & Cos., the* Erie “Railroad, the Guaranty Trust Company and the Standard Oil Company among others.” saying that he was “proud of them.” 2. That Senator Thomas -T. Walsh, in notifying Davis of his nomination, admitted Davis was affiliated as attofney with “gigantic business interests whose policy and conduct have aroused quite general Indignation.” “Wall Street Conspiracy” 3. That "Bors Brennan of Illinois and others who owed allegiance to the financial dynasty of Wall Street” conspired to pick I>ivis at the Democratic- national convention. “I do not wish to impugn the personal integrity of Mr. Davis nor do I for a moment discount h.s ability as a lawyer, nor disparage his character as a citizen in stating that by reason of his environment he is unfitted for the office of chief executive of the United States,” Wheeler declared. Wheeler charged the Democratic candidate with deserting the farmers on questions of railroad legislation, and said that he was “an artful dodger” on labor issues.

Campaign DAY BY DAY While President Coolidge in Washington turned his attention to the hundreds of invitations he has received to make addresses, with a view to possibly enlarging speech-making campaign, John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee left his resting place In the Rockies to resume his tour. , Davis will speak tonight in Denver, and it is reported today he will bear down harder than ever on the issue of "honesty in government,” which he chose as paramount at the outset of the campaign. Senator La Follette, the independent candidate, remained in seclusion in Washington, awaiting the opportune moment to launch his personal campaign. Meanwhile Senator Wheeler, his running mate, continued his denunciations of both “old party” candidates in speeches in upper New York State. General Dawes tonight will Invade La Follette s home territory to make a speech in Milwaukee, Wis.

Notes Sidelights on Convention of State Bankers,

The Indiana Bankers convention at the Claypool, as observed by William H. Maas, associate editor of the Mid-Continent Banker, for The Hoosier Banker, official magazine of the Indiana association: Hoosier hospitality as manifest in the convention has particular significance in Indiana. More cities of 30-000 population can be reached in a night’s ride from Indianapolis than from any other city in the United States. In September, 1899, a young man applied for a job as bank messenger at the old Fletcher National Bank. Today, September, 1924, Clarence O. Robinson is r aiding out twenty-five years of service with that institution. Clyde Robipson, bachelor president of the Marion County State Bank, was in the cradle when the Indiana Bankers’ Association was organized, twenty-eight years ago. Are you clothes conscious? In past years in srhall towns and villages the eye of suspicion was cast on the banker who shaved every morning and kept his trousers pressed. It is a subject of comment that Indiana bankers are wellgroomed and dress well. This is the twentieth anniversary of the American Trust Company at South Bend. C. M. Millet- Is president and congratulations are being showered on him for the new home the bank recently occupied. Thomas R. Marshall told us a few years ago what the country needed was a good 5-cent cigar. Now comes Charles G.

So -I went to the store on rhy way home and got a bottle, and took the first tdose before supper. I have been taking it ever since, and you can hardly believe how different I feel. I had just wanted to lie In bed all thel time, and when I started to brush up I would give out in about ten minutes. So you know how badly I felt. I used to go to bed at eight and get up at seven, still tired. Now I can work all day and stay up until eleven and feel all right all the time. My housework is all I do in summer, but in winter I work in a factory. I have told a good many of my friends, and I have had three come to me and tell uje they w'ouldn’t do without the Vegetable Compound.”—Mrs. Samuel Murphy. 219 Cecil St., Dover, Delaware.—Advertisement.
