to It works out. ;
Mr, McDougall's remarka followed
tio.e of Itenjamln Strong, Jr., a gov
ernor of the New York Federal
Rtstrve Hank. Mr. 8tron- reviewed the
ork of the bank since tta organisation
e-itll th present time, when It haa a
rwerve of $560,000,000. He urged every
fcank In the State to enter tho Federal
rcrve and take advantage of the op
portunities It offers. Mr. Strong also
vrced a more bualnesallke method on
ti part of banka.
The convention waa called to order
fcy James H. Perkins, the president, who
In his address, predicted an era, of proa
ptrlty In the near future. The secre
tins William J. Henry, read Mb report,
showing a gain In membership of forty

Perkins Sees Prosperity.
In the course of his address Mr. Per
Idu said:
"A banker has only to study the profit
ani loss accounts In statements that come
tefors Mm every day to know that for
the last year or more- prosperity haa
tot been with us, but I believe a care
ful study will also bring to light cer
tain conditions which spell optimism.
Bankers whose business it was to know
ladustrlal conditions believed eighteen
months ago that the country was In a
lomewhat dangerous situation; that In.
dustrv must slow down and put Its
Louse In order before a safe and sua
Ulned period of activity could develop.
"At that time the accusation waa
nu!e that the bankers were adopting
this tone for political effect, but I be-
I.eved then, and believe more strongly
to-day, that the slowing down which
tiok place resulted in a splendid funda
mental condition. To-day Industrial
ttatements show us not only that the
profit and loss accounts have not gained,
tut they Hhow a much mora liquid, well
tranced condition.
"Our new banking law has just gone
nto operation. It Is beyond queation
thai a stroni; unified system of banking.
which comnrlaes the whole banking
power of the country, Is desirable, but I
It It desirable only If It meets the need
cf every section of the Country, only If
It Is the beet machine available for car
rying on the most Important part of the
country's Industrial work. We have such
a law. Does it meet our needs? If not,
la That rcepect? How can we change
it to that It may better perform Its
functions?
"Thee are the questions which are
tafare ue at this convention, and my
chject In speaking as I do Is to see If I
can Influence the attitude with which ws
approach the discussion. Let us, stand
ready to criticise the new law, but only
In a helpful, constructive way. Let us
keep in mind the troubles of 111 and
HOT, and be thankful that, even If
there are some details of the law ws
don't like, it will save us from the
financial upheavals which have been so
destructive in the past. Let us rsmem
bar that the reserve bank belongs to the
members, and let Us Institute a policy of
cooperation which. If followed, will en
able us the United States to take the
leading place In the Industry of the
rld."
Credit to "oath America.
In his address Mr. Strong said :
"Our banks do not seem to real!
that of our 14,000,000,000 of forolgn
eommerce over 20 per cent, that la over
Stno.QOO.000, Is conducted with the re
publics to the south of us alone, and
this ureat trade represents 30 per cant,
"f all the forolgn trade of the Central
and South American republics. It lias
largely been conducted upon credits cs
taMlahecl In foreign lands with forolgn
bank, it In our trade, and we should
ttend the credit upon which Its con
tinuance depends. If we do not do so,
ome part of that trade will aurely
te lout
"The same Is true with respect to a
lritc part of our commerce with other
fart of the world. This country's po
rtion, both domestic and International,
ould be vastly stronger were we .Able
to employ at once a large part of' our
urpluii banking credit in financing our
on forciBti commerce. Our past de
Wmlence upon foreign credits Is no
longer as necessary as It wns, and our
tutomers have a right to expect nc

SUFFRAGISTS INVADE
MEETING OF "ANTIS"
Heckle Speakers, lint Fail to
Break Up Gathering: Po
licemen on Guard.
Fmefort, U I., June 21. Four police
men from the village force were sta
tioned In Brooklyn Hall last night to
keep order at a mass meeting conducted
by antt-suffraglsU. It was a good move
on the part of Chief Hoi and M. Lamb,
whose xWlfe Is a strong suffrage advo
cate, as Is the chief also. The suffragists
Invaded the meeting in substantial num
bers, wearing badges and prepared to
do verbal battle with their opponents.
The antia were lats in arriving at the
hall. Tbey said this was due to delay
on the railroad, but it was whispered
that some one had told them that the
sun's were on band to disturb their meet
ing and, if possible, break It up. The
antia had not progressed far when the
luffs demonstrated that they were
on hand for business. Questions were
fired at the enrakern Indiscriminately,
and they were visibly disturbed. One
of the speakers, a woman or course,
said to a suit who had been persistent
In heckling :
"It I had you by tho arm I wotua
surely lead you to the street.'
The suffs let forth a volley of applause
and some of them shouted defiance.
John J. Dunbar, one of the policemen.
urged the suffragists to show respect
for the antis, but they told him they
thought they had a right to ask ques
tions of those who assailed their cause.
flecorniilna- that his appenls were of
little or no effect, Dunbar let the surfs
go on with their demonstration. They
interrupted the speeches of the antis at
times with applause when it was un
called for and followed the outbursts
of handclapplng with volleys of ques
tions In rapid tire style, some or tne
men In the audience of about ISO told
the suits they ought to manifest a spirit
of fair play 'toward their sisters. To
this appeal some or me suns sum:
"Do you think we sre going to sit
here and listen to the kind of talk these
people are giving out without resenting
It? Not much."
Despite the noisy demonstration the
antis atuck to their posts and kept the
meeting going to a finish.

John It. Thayer of Haverford, Pa.,
son of Uie vice-president of the Penn

the Titanic, was another witness. Mr.
Thayer Is nsslstant manager of the
Pennsylvania University varsity crew
and came down from Poughkecpsle.
where tho crew Is In training, to tetl
his story to Judge Mayer. He described
his father's efforts to get a place In

They were shunted from one boat to
another to no purpose, he said
Thayer said that he Jumped from the
doomed vessel Just before she piunxea
and swam to a collapsible lireboit

lifeboat In the morning and taken to

was laughed at, said Mrs. Kenyon.
The proceeding will be continued at
