nminrrce.
I' i understood that the theory on
uhWi the committee has been "ino-
filing is that the regulation of the
Sew Voik Stock Kxehuncc can he no.
'lipi.ilud through excluding the ex.
itise from the use of malls and for
Mine the tchfVnpliic transmission of

... to . ert.iin rule.
'"ie rules which the committee has
,n mind have been indicated from time.
'"ie m the course of the hearings,
i of these Is a prohibition against
I. manipulation, the giving of buy-
..nd selling orders by the same per.
.it about the same timennd other
pr t cos ieorted to In the eteatlon of

,p Is Mile to impose Is the requiring

Morgan and Important xvltnesses be.
re the committee have favorpd such
regulation It is likely also that the
iimmlttee will make the expulsion of
""tubers subject to n review b the
.rts
The theory of the committee In repaid
i the regulation of clearing houses
nppiiently Is that a law may be passed
l htbiting national banks irom Join-
l -uch association unless they are
raotporaled and confine then nctlvt
' to th clearing of checks fot mem-
is of the association. The mm!ttee
-Lmbtedty will icport against tha
P' irii e of Imposing a conuiiisslon on
r,f i..wn collections The course of
mi'itt has indicated also that they
w.il rnommend that any sulvent bank
i ' 1- eligible to membPlsliip 111 the
' i.nrr House. alo that th" State and
i n.ei.ii tanking authorities shall hae
met to review in many mattcii
"' ' ng i learlng houses.
Wvn it comes to recommendations
" as the concentration of nankins
i r. es the record of the proce?dlnns
ii . pretty clearly the sUKKestlons
.ne committee has in mind. One
' "lue is that full publicity hall be
c n o aets of national banks with
i .( ption of loans.
u in r recommendation tha' the
Cfn'n nee has in mind Is publicity In
,,i'i '.. the stock ownership of banks
f.'iions that have been asked by conn-
-r..w that the committee Is In
i" t to ptohlblt the participation b.s
h 'itlic-rs and directors In under
in nc ndlc.Hes. and also to prohibit
,ii i In- bnrrowniK by ulllcers or di
if mone from their own Imnks.
T n a lion of mlnorlt.v reiresent.t
, " 'he boards of tltianclal as Well
m .nfstute commerie corporations Is
i simvestlon almost certain to be
h i.'-d tiv the commltee.
'I i iimmtttei 's report Is almost
n . ileal With tile l'eStioll of
i.n i..mianles like the First Secur

n " prnhihltlns such a clofe conneo-
1 -'w en them and national banks.
M l ilo in a statement made public

n whuh the committee would like
' Niimine. hut that the time will nut
I. rv ' In speaklnK of the decision of
'iinmitlee to suspend Its public
- 2s next week, the chairman says:
s action Is due mainly to the
; 1 i-ast by the banks upon the power
ommlttee to Inquire Into their
in t.iI affairs, and especially to their
!' .-.i! to disclose names of Individuals,
l .r and borrowers of upward of $1,000,.

The merchants are stunned. They
put up their money for the prospective

on the theor that they would be te
Imbtirseil mid that the forthcoming

WashltiKton people who have had to

declare that the WINon limugimil will
be a very tame affair, and tli.it people
will not lloctl here In the niimliers that
have been attracted to previous Inaug

Into a panic over the development and

it was not known that the InauBiir.i!

was iissutllfd that the hall would be held
and that the IVnslon ltulliliiic would

Mr. Caynor as Mayor of New York
promised to do all he could to secure

that he must haxe evidence that the
city of New York would do Its part
Mr (Jaynor promised to spe that a reso-

, Katnesl H. Ileppenhelmer. president
of the New Jersey Harbor Line Com-

disposed toward this, but proposed ex-

Mayor Caynor urged Secretary Stlm
son to agree that the 100 foot extensions
aliowed the White Star Line at Its Chel
sea piers Is' continued for twenty years.
j Mr. .stlmson refused, saying he must de
Icllne to enter Into any agreement which
would bind his successor In office.
, Secretary Stlmson also reminded the
j New York officials that the permit
'gianted the White Star Line for pier
j extensions nearly two years ago was
with the express understanding that the
! steamship company was to arange a
I permanent solution of the pier problem
! In two years. So far as he had been able
to ascertain, said Secretary Stlmson, the
steamship company has done nothing
towaril carrying out Its part of the
agreement. He Intimated that he might
take steps to call the company to uc-
COIIIlt.
The Sulzpr hill Introduced In the
Hoiisp by the present Governor of New
Vork last December, was repudiated by
I .Major Caynor. This bill provides for ail
; extension of the harbar line more than
'a hundred feel Into Ihe present fairway.
I "We never Instigated that bill," said
Ma.xor Caynor, "nor do we ask that the
hue provided In that hill be established."
I Secretnry Stlmson In n recent report
to CotiRrcss disapproved the hill.

ships, built or htilhiliiR, While the Hoi-land-America
Line will not gain any
thing by a straightening of the harbor
line, It can provide for Its largest ships
by rock excavation,
Mr. Stlmson's opposition to the Nexv
Jersey proposal of an additional tlfty
foot encroachment on the North Ivor
channel caused Mayor Guynor to with
draw a similar proposal. Mr. Caynor
finally said that New York asked only
that the harbor lino be straightened from
the Chelsea plcra southward and that
the Secretary of War agTee that the
temporary extension granted the White
Star Line he allowed to stand for twenty
rars. He declared the city will neicr
ask permission to encroach further on
the river fairway If the War Department
grants this last request.
