BANKERS' GROUP
President of Commonweal Hi

Philadelphia Convention

WILLIAM JENNINGS
Harrisburg Banker Made President of
Group 5
Philadelphia, Feb. 23.—Criticism of
many existing and proposed banking j
regulations made by the State and Na
tion were expressed here yesterday at
the annual meeting of Group 5, Penn
sylvania Bankers' Association. Bank
ers who pay 4 per cent, on time de
posits also came in for a share of the
criticism on the ground that the rate
was too high for safety.
William Jennings, president of the
Commonwealth Trust Company, Harris
burg, was elected president of the as
sociation. Other officers elected were:
Secretary and treasurer R. H. Passmore,
cashier. National Bank of Chambers
burg; executive committee, William H.
Nell; People's Bank, Steelton, chairman;
F. W. Light, Myerstosvn Trust Co., My
erstown; W. R. Horner, York County
National Bank, York; Ira H. Baer, Ful
ton National Bank, Lancaster, and S.
C. Stecher, Hershey Trust Co., Hershey;
member of council of administration,
Donald P. McCormick, president. Dau
phin Deposit Trust Co., Harrisburg.
Hopes that the State Legislature
would not pass any more legislation
on banking, were expressed. J. W.
Bailsman, the retiring president, called
attention to a bill now before that
body that would unjustly tax the busi
ness.
Protests against certain sections of
the Federal Reserve act were made by
several of the speakers. A. S. Hark
ness, of Quarryville, declared that the
act has several bad features, among
them being the clearing features and
tiie authority to enforce its provisions
on banks.
Criticism for banks that pay 4 per
cent, on deposits was general. George
W. Stine, of the Annville National Bank,
lead this discussion. He was followed
by Colonel George H. Stewart, of the
Valley National Bank, Chambersburg,
declared that if he had SIO,OOO to in
vest he would be afraid to put It in a
bank that paid four per cent, inter
est.
The Group consists of bankers from
Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin,
Fulton, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon,
Mifflin. Perry and York counties.

longed to another man, James Russell
Waugh, 22 years old, yesterday after
noon made good a threat to end his
life when he shot himself on an island
in the Susquehanna opposite New
Market. The act was committed in
sight of his father and a friend who
were hurrying across the ice to pre
vent him from carrying out his threat.
Yestefday afternoon F. W. Rogers
a blacksmith found a bank book be
longing to Waugh a few moments af
ter he had left the shop, with a note
enclosed that said, "Give this to
mother and say good-by."
Rogers ran to the young man's
home and informed his father. To
gether they started together across the
ice to the island where the young man
had been going. When within twen
ty feet where the young man stood
they heard a shot ring out. When
they reached him he was dead.
County Official Aids
Recruiting Movement
As a result of the army bill passed
recently by Congress, County Com
missioner Henry M. Stine is conferring
with officials of all patriotic societies,
to arouse interest in the preparedness
movement.' ,
Commissioner Stine last summer
was a recruiting officer for men for
the National Guard of Pennsylvania
then on border duty in federal serv
ice. After the passage of the army
bill Captain W. F. llarrell, in charge
of local United Slates sovernment re
cruiting headquarters, requested Com
missioner Stine to aid in stimulating
interest in army service. It is plan
ned to communicate with all patri
otic organizations, including men and
women. New military rules as pro
vided in the bill will be explained.
One feature is that a man, aftec en
listing and serving one year in time of
peace, can be placed on furlough on
the reserve list until his time of serv
ice has expired.
