BANK AND CUSTOMER LET ALONE %-- \ The Information Will Be Kept Con fidential-The Result Will Make It Hard For Dishonest to Hurt Banks. Washington.-A tentative system of collecting credit information for the benefit of the national bank ex aminers, with the compilation and chocking up of tho commitments of large local and extended borrowers, has been formulated by a commit tee of the bank examiners who have been meeting at the Treasury De partment. Every examiner here after will keep for his own a com plete Ale of all large and extended borrowers in his district, from which the lists will be sent to the Treasury Department for summar izing. Thc machinery available by the comptroller of currency will be put to work to gather such credit infor mation as can be obtained from national banks and from State banks and trust companies where there is already co-operation between the Federal and State officials, as in New York. The examiners will not divulge the name of the bank where a line of credit is found of an extended borrower, their special reports giv ing the total only of the loans lick ed. These lists are entirely confi dential. It is not contemplated that a com prehensive plan which will guaran tee the assembling of complete credit information covering com mitments in all the banks of the United States is practical at this time, nor is the personal and inti mate relationship between the banks and the borrower lo be interfered with. . It is expected (hat the knowledge that a hundred or more men are keeping a constan' ,i*"*k on the borrower will ma -^ely hazardous for th dual, firm or c money from the CHAMPION Philadelphia Chicago Chicago.-Ttirr-fc.^. ship of the world beloit Philadelphia Club of the Amen,. League. Five games were played, and the Eastern youngsters took four of them by outbatting, outfielding and outrusing the veteran Chicago Cubs. The players' share of the money amounts to $79,071.93. Of this 60 per cent, or $47,443.15 goes to the winners and $31,628.77 to the losers. As there are 23 players on each team oligible to participate, each of the Philadelphians is entitled in round numbers to $2.062 and each Chica goan to $1,375. The total receipts for the series were $173,980. The clubs receive $38,755 each, while $17,398 goes to the National Commission. The total paid attendance was 125,219 persons. The performances of Coombs in pitching and winning three of a five-game series is probably unique. He had but one day's rest between tho second and third games, but three days intervened between the third and last exhibition. Will Break Up Chinatown. New York.-New York's Ghinatown is to be cleaned up as it has never been cleaned before. This is the decision of the new police adminis tration, it was learned at headquar ters, and the police were instructed to order all white persons from the district. The order, of course, ex cludes white residents of the quar ter, but it was intimated that steps would be taken to clear such per sons out later by codemnation of the buildings if necessary. Portunal Soldiers Dangerous. Lisbon.-The republican govern ment is somewhat uneasy over the ittitude of the regiments whic'l. made the revolution possible. Al though not openly insubordinate, the soldiers, flushed with victory, are showing extreme independence and are championing the mainten ance of strong power in the hands of the military.

Gleveland.-Too late for the cen sus but earnestly doing her share in Cleveland's remarkable growth, Mrs. William G.

While busy at her house work, she 3howed the family Bible, which dis played the faot that she also is the mother of four pairs of twins and that she herself is the only sister of twenty brothers. Two pairs of twini and one set of triplets were born during Mrs. Clark's first marriage. Millionaire's Daughter Disappears. Winston-Salem, - N.

What "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Souls" -will do in pro vidlhgscmeof the 275,000 beds need ed at once In the United States for consumptives, Is explained In a recent bulletin of the National Association for the Study -and Prevention of Tu berculosis. There is just about one bed for every ten indigent consump tives, and if all tuberculosis persons bi the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every 25 or 30. ?if sufficient hospital accommoda tions: are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis will be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to pro vide and maintain so many beds in hospitals, makes it Imperative, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis de clares, that such institutions he erect ed from public money, either muni cipal; "county or state. In order to get.'anproprlations for public hospitals forvluberculosls, agitation is neces sary, and in, order to create a cam paign of agitation, organization Is de manded. But in order that an organi zation may carry on an effective cam paign; funds are needed. These funds it is proposed to secure in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross seals.

Gessler put his hat on a pole and ordered everybody to salute lt, but Tell Insur rected right away.

Tell did so and split the apple, but he had another arrow in his sleeve and told Gessler be had that in pickle for him, if he had missed the apple. You may sort out the "he's" and "him's" in this at your leisure. It is really more satisfying to have some one tell us he meant to hurt us than to have him say he didn't mean to.
