BANKS URGE DEFEAT
OF INTERLOCKING
DIRECTORATE BILL
Clearing House Here Tells
Congress Measure Would
Be a Serious Blow Fi
nancial Institutions.
Bankers In this city nro urging tlcfent
of Section S at the Clayton anti-trust
bill, which would prohibit Interlocking
directorates. The bill Is now before- Con
gress. Urging that thW section of the
bill, ns far ns It affects banks and trtmt
companies, bo stricken out, telegrams
woie today sent by the Philadelphia
Clearing House Association to thp chair
man of the Judiciary Committees of the
Henato and 1 louse, Senators Penrose and
Oliver and members of tho House of Rep
resentatives from Philadelphia.
Attention Is called to the fact that If
this section Is Incorporated Into law It
will causo nn entire rearrangement of
tho directors of many banks and trust
companies, and men who have n wide
business experience will be barred from
action as directors, thus causing a serious
blow to bo dealt the Institutions. At a
tlmo when the new currency system Is"
about to bo placed In operation these
men will bo needed more than ever bforo,
my tho bankers.
The telegrams, signed by Joseph Moore,
Jr., president of tho Philadelphia Clear
ing Houso Association and of tho National
Hank of Northern Liberties, and Levi L.
Hue, chairman of tho Clearing Houso
Committee and piesldcnt of tho Phila
delphia National Hank, read as follows:
It li our opinion that If section 8, Clayton
ntl-tniBt bill, respecting Interlocking direc
tors, la adopted liy Congress and becomes a
law, It lll ileal a serious blow to tho banks
nnil trust companies of tho larger cities of
the country, and while doubtless Intended to
i onsen o tho people's Interests, is really most
detrimental to thoso Interests. The country Is
about to Inaugurate a now banking system.
Vnst changes In banking methods are to take
place, and If there ever was a tfme In the
history nf the country when the managements
of the hanks mid trust companies should bo
In utrong and experienced hands. It Is now.
Tho resources of tho bnnks nnd trust com
panies belong to tho people. With them they
placo their saxlngs nnd tho managements of
ineir csuiics, wie ucneucinries of which nro
largely women und children. Their directors
fhoultl bo men of broad vision, Hide experi
ence, sound Judgment nnd In touch with tho
lommeico and trado of the world. The bill
us written will strip these Institutions of
many of tho ablest men on their boards of
directors.
We therefore most respectfully ucce upon
Congress Hint section s, of the clnjton nntl
tiust bill as nrfectlng banks nnd trust com
panies, bs stricken out.

Young Man, Caught in a Round

tho Tenth and Utittonwood streets police
station, where ho Is hold by .Magistrate
Belcher under fcOO ball as a cocalno ped
dler. Young Lynch was nrrcstod early this
morning at Kloventh and Vino stroets
during a round-up of drug sellers by
Special oniccrs Haines and Wcasecker.
Ho will bo taken to a hospital today and
treated for tho drug habit. .
Lynch had a good-sized package of co
caine hidden under an clastic arm band
when ho was searched at tho police sta
tion. Ho wan In his shirt sleeves, and It
Is believed he sold his coat to buy tho
drug. Vice squad officers have been
watching Lynch for several weeks In tho
belief that he was distributing drugs to
Tenderloin habitues.
Lynch told the pollco that ho has been
using drugs for two years. He began
just after ho was graduated from High
School. Ho was In a Chinese restaurant
In tho Tenderloin one night, he said, when
a girl persuaded him to try anlltlng co
caine. A month later he w-as a confirmed drug
user, night months ago he was arrested
by Special OPlcer Haines, who mado the
arrest this morning. This was Just after
ho had burled his young wife. Since then
tho drug's Inroads have been so marked
that Haines hardly recognized the boy
when he arretted him.
The Lynch boy was In a pitiable con
dition when ho was arraigned this morn
ing before Magistrate Heloher. As soon
ns his case was disposed of ho began beg
ging tho pollco for cocalnp. Arrange
ments were made to take him to tho
Hahnemann Hospital.

Property in I Oth and 15th
Wards, in Section Be
tween 1 9th and 22d Streets,
Will Be Considered.
Thtf Ilonrd of Viewers will shortly be
gin heatings, under nn ordlniinco ap
proved July 2, ,"to authorize the opening
of the unopened portions of tho Parkway
between 19th sheet and 22d street.'
Under the law three months' notice was
served on ownors of property on July 5,
tho (l.imagis to bo settled by the viewers,
after evidence has been presented by both
Bides, or falling to agree, there Is nn ap
peal to tli courts.
In the portion of tho 10th and 13th Wards
covered by thli ordinance, thero nro ap
proximately 2(0 propci ties. Kor several
years, tho city, through a committee, of
which the .Mayor Is chairman, has been
purchasing property from ahy Iwners wllU
ing to sell, at 10 per cent, above tho as
sessed value of tho year 1909. AVhy that
year was chosen Is a mystery to many,
as assessment wore afterwards Increased.
In this way, out of tho 200 properties,
tho city has taken title to about one-half,
leaving approximately 100 properties to
bo considered, and a proper price paid to
tho owntrs of same.
PROPERTIES OX PARKWAY LINE.
As tho plan before tho Board of View
ers Is not yet oblnlnablo, only nn esti
mated list of properties can' bo given, tho
northwest boundary being 'tho southeast
lino of tho Parkway aa laid out, nnd tho
southwest lino of this proceeding runs
along tho south line of 23(5 West Logan
square, and 237 North 20th street, then In
a diagonal lino to Wood street, taking In
tho northenst corner and thence to tho
north line of 40.1 North 22d street, where
it meets tho old Parkway.

The law, n ft stand on the statute
books, works a great iIc'h.I of hardship.
No leases can bo mado, and tho best
that owners can do Is to got what rent

penditure and resist all appeals to keep
tho properly up, or Improve It. The re
sult Is too well known, Hehts go lower
and lower and when vacated by old. ten
ants, property remains Idle, while taxes
and loss of Interest go on, the ownership
becoming nn expense Instead of a sourco

Police Accuses Man of Attempting
Theft to Satisfy Thirst.
Although the prlco of whisky has not
Inci eased In proportion to the high cost
of living, the pollco say Phillip McCuI
lough, of 2315 Vino street, attempted to
hteal an automobile this morning and
exchange It for a drink.
The man was seen tinkering around a
ear at Sixteenth and Market streets by
Special Policeman McCullough, of tho
Fifteenth and Vine streets etatlon. The
policeman. It was said, saw McCullough
try to drive tho car off. He gave this
up as a bad Job on finding tho machine
locked. Then, according to the police
man, tho other McCullough took a num
ber of tools from tho car and put thtm
in his pocket.
While the two McCuIIoughs were talk
ing tho matter over, Robert M. Horter,
the owner of the car, who has offices ut
931 Land Title Building, appealed. Horter
accompanied tho prisoner to the Fifteenth
and Vino streets station, and McCullough
was held in $600 ball by Magistrate Tracy.

They will Include Nos. 218-220-222-2'' 1-220-22S-230

this year being $1,000 and their value
not far from $250,000. This, however, will
not oe taken under tho present notice, but
will come up at some future date.
OWNERS ASK PROMPT ACTiON.
The attitude of owners of property, In
cluded within the lines of the Parkway as
plotted, Is that of being perfectly willing
to accept a fair price for their property,
out tney aslc prompt action. On October
5 the city of Philadelphia becomes owner,
and tho taking is an casement made fast,
which has really existed over slnco tho
lines were put upon the city plan.
Losses of rent and low rental, because
properties could not bo Improved, aro
total, as under the law such cannot bo
considered any more than loss of business.
To show tho hardship of delay caused
by tho City taking property so long
ahead of payment only this week the
estate of Theodore I, Harrison. Jr., were
restrained by a decision of Judge Dick
inson In the United States District Court
from expending $160,000 In Improving
properties Nos. 1403-5-7 Filbert street In
tho eastern end of tho Parkway. A
proper return on the value of tho prop
erty could not be realized in present con
dition. The Court held that the cost of
such -Improvement on a paper street
Thero were 431 denths. In Philadelphia
this week, of which lOfl were duo to

deaths woro reported to tho Health De

Typical Soldiers of
Warring Nations
In Sunday's Intaglio
Soldier types of the warring nations, with a page
of Great Britain's famous Indian commands, are
shown at close range in Sunday's Intaglio. There
are page-wide panoramas of the Knights Templars'
recent peace exercises on Belmont Plateau, and
photos of Germany's war lords and American treaty
advocates. Pages, too, of gay county fair scenes,
beautiful studio poses, artistic bed-room settings
and prominent women contributors to the season's
social entertainment.
Because of its wealth of authentic gridiron in
formation, the Sports Magazine has been converted
into a special football number without slighting other
sporting activities, Among its articles on the possi
bilities of new football are special contributions by
Parke H. Davis, Glenn Warner, R. W. Maxwell and
Geo. E. McLinn. Wm. H. Rocap discusses "Who
Was America's Greatest Lightweight," and Paul W.
Gibijoi tells of Philadelphia's new star in the tennis
firmament. "Ty" Cobb discloses the object of his
personal interview with Connie Mack.
