Newcastle Fair Deficit Causes Reorganization I To Boost Coanty Interest - NEWCASTLE, Ind., Aug. 25. With a deficit this year of $500, following one of $1,500 last year, Henry county fair officials plan a reorganization and a change in the by-laws to revive interest in the event. The deficit this

year was in the fact of a cut in expenses of $1,500 over last year, and was due to a severe drop in attendance, the Thursday gate receipts being $600 less than last year. Changes proposed by the fair board include a reduction of the number of directors from Newcastle from three to one, and more general representation of outlying districts. A director to represent every township is proposed, and other measures to give a more general county-wide interest in ,the fair. Election of officers during one of the days of the fair, while interest, is etill - intense, also is suggested.

(By Associated Preasj BERLIN. Aug. 25. A new record for sustained flight in a motorless airplane was . set yesterday by Herr Hentzen, student flyer of the Hanover tech

nical school, when he remained in the i

air for more than three hours. The flight was made on the concluding day of the gliding competition held in the Ihoen mountains, near Gersfeld. Hentzen's machine landed 350 meters above the starting point. Hentzen is the flier who startled the world of aviation last Saturday by remaining in the air two hours and ten seconds, breaking all records by a considerable margin.

Nobody could have said when Richard Banner Oakley founded the Cooperative Credit Bank that he had had no financial experience. He had already lost In speculation two fortunes he had inherited. Then he had looked round for a rich wife and found "her In Shropshire. ' But the squire, her father, soon realized that money, whosoever it was, would not last long in his son-in-law's hands, and Mr. Oakley was soon out in the world again. His next venture had been to rent several deer forests and shooting

moors in Scotland. These he furnished with dogs, keepers and guns, and hired them out to parties of self-made men from Birmingham and London. In their desire to do as the aristocra

cy, they were willing to pay whatever

was asked, and the venture looked like being a great success. Then the grouse all died from some disease and his moors lost their attraction. The creditors seized what property was left, and for the fourth time, Richard

Banner Oakley had been made a bankrupt. London heard of him next, as the manager of the Co-operative Credit Bank an establishment that had

sprung into existence oyer night, it seemed. Its head office was in Queen Victoria Street, and people were subscribing to its stock, and leaving older banks to deposit their money with it For who would not be attracted by such an opportunity as this? "Co-operative Credit Bank first i3Sue of

capital $2,000,000 Subscriptions of

$5 and upwards received. Each cash subscriper entitled to dividends of IS

per cent payable monthly in cash

"And further "Five per cent interest allowed on all current accounts of whatever amount." ! And who might doubt the security of the proposal? Were not Lieutenant General J. H. Gascoyne, C. B., Rev. W. F. Good, D. D., Rev. Hope Robertson and Henry Walkf r, Esq., It3 trustees? Not directors, understand, but trustees Mr. Oakley was careful to make clear. "Directors in a bank mean private control," he said. "I will have nothing to do with directors. I can not work under the corporation laws without being interfered with. "By working as I do, I can at once take every advantage of a proposition, or a situation, without consulting others. Even with their cumbersome methods, some banks declare dividends of 20 per cent. Without divided control, what cannot the Co-operative Credit Bank achieve?"

What security had the public for

their money? People might ask.

"What real security had it from any of

the other banks?" Mr. Oakley asked in return. "Look at the many failurea of past years.

"Yet, with the Co-operative,' he

went on, "the public has some sort of a guarantee: I, Richard Banner

Oakley contract to pay each subscriber IS per cent dividends, and to pay each depositor 5 per cent on current

accounts. Thirty per cent of the re

maining profits will go to a reserve

fund, and the rest belongs to me.

These proposals did not got without derision from the older established banks, but that did not deter people from subscribing to the Co-operative'3 shares, or depositing their money with it Soon, to show their disapproval.

the other banks were refusing to do

business with it but that attitude did

not disconcert Mr. Oakley In the least

He issued a weekly magazine, explain

ing the advantages of his bank and re

making way," one issue of the Journal declares. "Already arrangements are

being made to extend its operations to the country. By refusing to do busIness with us, the other banks are drawing disaster on themselves. They are all rotten to the core." j Whether it was through alarm, as Mr. Oakley suggested, or concern for the public's money, the banks reiterated their charges of instability against Mr. Oakley's bank, again and again. A Bishop who was a shareholder in one bank, ordered the Rev. Hope Robertson to resign his trusteeship in the Co-operative. The clergyman replied by a letter to a newspaper, which the Journal afterwards reprinted. "I deposit my money with the Co-operative Credit Bank because of the interest it pays," he said. "Anybody can be a shareholder, and the bank publishes a quarterly balance sheet issued by an auditor who is appointed by the subscribers. "I have nothing to do with the man

agement of the bank. We trustees are selected by the depositors to take care ot the reserve funds. People

have written, not hesitating to say that any system which promises to pay 18 per cent is a delusion. They

have also said that Mr. Oakley is a

swindler. That is really too bad

"We ask any one to point out a sin

gle dishonest action in Mr. Oakley's past life. Yet, the best reply to all objections is the success of the bank.

"1 also write as a clergyman. 1 hope the scheme will remedy the fi

nancial condition of the clergy. Our salaries are inadequate, so there is a

need for us to get the highest intereat possible."

The other banks were Jealous of the

Co-operative's success, the Journal suggested. A balance sheet published

in March, 1875, showed that a profit

of 120 per cent had been made in four

months.

Soon Liverpool and Glasgow were

getting their Co-operative Credit

Bank. In both places placards and advertisements appeared In praise of the Co-operative system of banking. To explain it further, Mr. Oakley held

meetings, which, to quote the Journal "were attended by crowds who listened breathlessly." "The present system of banking," he told them, "is framed to keep the poor content in their poverty, and the rich happy in their wealth." Newspaper attacked his proposals, established banks in both Liverpool and Glasgow showed jtheir hostility. This but got him public sympathy. Soon branches were established in both cities. "We want agents in country towns, now," he declared. "Any bank that refuses to act as our agent we shall drive to the wall." It had always been the policy of the Co-operative Bank, according to Its manager, never to lend money without adequate security. "Other banks may lend to friends of their directors on note of hand," he said. "But we will not" Thousands of people now had their money in the bank. A second quarter had gone by, and the subscribers and depositors received their dividends. Soon they were being promised a special bonus. The bank was financ

ing a railway scheme in America a

line only fifteen miles in length.

Mr. Oakley has received more than full security for all advances," the Journal announced. "The profits from this investment in which we shall all share will be enormous."

The Co-operative Bank is steadily were reported to be coming in fast.

Two more quarters went by. Balance

sheets had shown that millions of dol

lars had been subscribed for shares, and deposited on current account People saw a new balance sheet published, and looked for another divident But none came. Still they waited. Then one morning some depositors found the bank in the hand3

said, was being paid out that day.
