PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12. Reforms in the supervision extended over National banks, through the department of comp- troller of the currency, needed to put a halt" to the numerous cases of defrauding and defalcation which have occurred in recent years, such particularly as are alleged to have brought about the failure on July 20, 1907, of the Farmers' National bank, of Boyerstown. which will shortly figure in the United States district court in this city, were discussed yesterday by "William L. Folds, vice president and treasurer ef the First Mortgage and Guarantee Trust Company, of which Leslie M.

Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, is president. The first of the cases arising out of the Boyerstown failure, that of 'OeWltte C. Hillegas, of this city, comes to trial in the September term of court, which opens on the twentieth of this month. Hillegas is charged, in an indictment of 136 counts, with having aided and abetted Morris L. Hartman, cashier of the bank, in misapplying its funds.

It is alleged that Hillegas, at various times made overdrafts to an amount approximating 554.000, on the Boyertown bank, which were honored through the instrumentality of Hartman, as cashier. Hartman is also under indictment in connection with the failure. His case is expected to. come up in the December term, com-. mencing on the second Monday of that month.

i Folds a -Government Witness. Mr. Folds will appear as a witness for the Government' in the Boyertown cases, having secured the evidence which led to the indictments of Hillegas and Hartman while holding the position of Na tional bank examiner. When he resigned this last April to go with the First Mortgage and Guarantee Trust Company it was with the understandings that he would be free to devote whatever time was necessary to the Boyertown bank cases. As examiner he has been conspicuous in the investigation and successful prosecution of the offenders in a number of celebrated failures, notably those of the Farmers Deposit National bank, of Pittsburgh, involving $1,105,000.

and of the Allegheny National bank, of Pittsburgh, in which $1,125,000 was involved. The reforms which Mr. Folds would suggest to make impossible such misuse of the funds of National banks as are charged in the Boyertown cases, and in others of recent years, are a- reorganization of the present system of National bank examining, which will enforce a more rigid supervision of their affairs, and the establishment of a national "Bureau of Credits." He said: Department Changes Needed. "A reorganization of the department of the comptroller of the currency is inevitable. This observation Is no reflection upon the present comptroller or any of his predecessors.

The necessity for reorganization comes in natural sequence the greater development "of banking and the amazing ingenuity of those who have devised ways and means of defrauding banks and the Government. These modern conditions call for a new type of bank examiner and, of course, for greater remuneration. "My thought is that the bureau of currency should be brought right up to the minute in every detail of management; that the antiquated methods still in use in some branches of the service should be abandoned forthwith, and that the bank examiner should be regarded as the first friend of the bank examined, and the bankers interested rather than the natural enemy of all concerned in banking. "Under the present system in vogue in the bureau of currency the bank examiners are free lances in certain particulars. They are not under the constant and close supervision that the nature of their work demands.

They are not In daily touch with the bureau of currency, and there is a iack of discipline which could be corrected by the reorganization of the bureau. Centralized Supervision Planned. "Were I to outline a plan for the supervision of National banks, I would arrange to appoint a general superintendent of National bank examiners, and would probably locate him in Chicago. He would be the 'picked man of all the service. The entire country would be divided into districts, each district being covered by from 15 to 20 bank examiners, each district having a superintendent.

The general superintendent would also have in charge the examining of the Chicago banks. The superintendents would have the assignments for each examiner in their district. It would be their duty to advise each examiner, at the close of each week, which banks he would be expected to examine the following week, and how much time he would be expected to spend in each bank. The super- intendent himself would be furnished with an office in a Government building, located at a convenient int for his district, and maintain there a sufficient office force to typewrite the reports re ceived from all examiners in that district. "He should investigate the credits of the principal borrowers in that district, and compile a report for the comptroller of currency of eacn borrower in that district; also obtain values of stocks and bonds listed in the examiners" reports.

He should personally read over the reports of the examiners and make his personal recommendation to the department in addition to that of the examiner. In all cases where banks were reported in an unsatisfactory condition, it would be the duty of the superintendent to make a special examination, following up the work of the examiner. "It would also be the duty of the superintendent to make special examination, of banks in the various districts of the examiners under his jurisdiction, to ascertain whether or not they were doing efficient work and conducting themselves in the manner creditable to the department. Rigid Examining Plan Required. "When the superintendents of bank examiners and the general superintendent were selected, they should be called together and a thorough and complete system cf bank examination thrashed out.

which should be adopted by the department, and it should be understood that, such system should be strictly followed up by bank examiners, they being required. In making their examination, to follow the general outline of the plan and to comply with all of its requirements, but that in examining they could add to the examination such additional precautions as might individually be deemed necessary, after first obtaining the consent of the comptroller's office. "The general superintendent of bank examiners would, from time to time, make trips into the territories-, of the district superintendents for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were conducting their offices in a proper manner and were following up the work of their subordinates.

NEW YORK. Sept. 12. Great activity continued throughout all branches of the iron and steel Industries last week. A Cieavy volume of business was transacted in pig iron with some little excitement attending the latest sales in steel makinar iron.

It is more difficult than usual to give the exact tonnage of iron sold for Eastern distribution as several houses have taken large orders for delivery In the Central West and even west of the Mississippi. Four different lots of 10.000 tons each of standard Bessemer iron hav0 been sold in the Pittsburgh district. Furnaces have ottaired $17. in the Mahoning and Shenansro valleys for1 30.C00 tons and $16.75 for 10,000 tons. The steel corporation does not confirm the report that it is negotiating with the Bessemer Pig1 Iron as sociation for 40,000 to 50,000 tons standard Bessemer.

Basic sales have included one lot of 25,000 tons at $18 delivered in Eastern Pennsylvania and several thousand tons at $18.50 delivered in the same district for shipment after the first of the year, while 30,000 tons additional are pending in the same district for this year's delivery. Ten thousand tons of basic were also sold in the Central West at $15,503 15.75 valley furances, while 12,000 tons of Southern and local basic were sold for delivery in St. Louis. One New York agency has submitted quotations on 100,000 tons of pig iron since Labor day and has booked orders for about 20,000 tons, mainly foundry iron, including 5.000 to 6 000 tons of No. 3 and No.

4 Southern foundry at slight differential below No. 2. Sales of the latter have been made at Birmingham for delivery this year and $14 for next year's delivery. Rails and wire products are most active in the finished lines, but there is Etill a gcod demand for plates, shapes and bars. Minimum prices of plates and snapfs been advanced to $1.45 and bnrs to $1.40, base mill, for this year shipment.

There is some irregularity in fabricated steel with lowest prices made in Philadelphia and New York territory; sales mainly in the West were small last week, aggregating about 12,000 tons. Late reports concerning August business show that orders exceeded 160,000 tons. Orders for rails confirmed last week were 125.000 tons, about "0.000 tons of which were for 1910. Business is now pending for about 240,000 tons. Independent steel companies, as well as the United States Steel corporation, exceeded all previous records in the output of pig iron in August and all interests are now producing pig iron at the rate of 27,750.000 tons annually.

The United States Steel corporation produced 1,260,000 tons of steel ingots last month, which was within 23,000 of the previous highest record. would drop in on the general superintendent from time to time and satisfy himself that his general superintendent was conducting his own office in a satisfactory manner. The reports from the general superintendent to the comptroller, based upon his examination of the district superintendent, would serve to keep the comptroller informed as to the conduct of such officers. The reports of the district superintendents as to whether the local examiners were doing their duty would keep the comptroller in touch with the quality of the work of his entire force. National Credit Bureau Planned.

"Add to this a 'Bureau of Credits, attached to the office of the comptroller of currency, with a thoroughly compe tent man in charge. Information re- ceived from examiners throughout the entire country would be recorded, so that if John Smith was borrowing in five different States his total loans in National banks would be recorded by the 'Bureau of Credits' in Washington, and the department would have a very complete line on the total amount of John Smith's obligations, and, having ob- tained a copy of his statement, they could form a very reliable opinion as to the truthfulness of his statement, and in many cases the 'Credit Bureau' would be enabled to advise banks of impending danger and thus avert some very serious losses. "This department could not, of course, give out affirmative information, but would have to confine itself to statements that 'caution i3 recommended, or that 'it is recommended that a certain line be reduced, or that 'unfavorable information is at hand. "So far we have dealt with a general plan. Next in consideration must be the selection of the examiners.

I think that bankers will all agree that It would be a splendid rule if no man could be eligible to an appointment as bank examiner who had not been employed for at least three years in a commercial bank. Should Save, Not Close, Banks. "He should also be a thorough accountant and have ability as an organizer. It has too often been the custom among bank examiners to close a bank whenever they felt they could safely do without making themselves subject to criticism. The rule should be that no bank should be closed without some honest effort being made to save it: I venture to say that more than one-half of the banks closed in the last 10 years could have been saved by four or five hours intelligent work on the part of the bank examiner.

When a man is sick he needs a doctor to give him some medi cine that will cure him, not a death potion. Bank examiners too often give a death potion where a remedy could be easily applied."

I Dr. McDevitt Declares They Have Sacrificed Ideals for Mere Commercialism, SPECIAL TO. THE PITTSBURGH POST. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.

Exception to Andrew Carnegie's general education fund on the ground that It subsidizes institutions of learning and is antagonistic to Christianity is made In his ari-nual report by the Rev. Philip R. McDevitt, superintendent of Catholic parochial schools in this arch-diocese. Dr. McDevitt scores what he calls the commercial attitude of education, whicih can be bought from its religious allegiance.

He questioned the stability of a system erected to conform to the standard of a multi-millionaire, and assai the sincerity of such institutions as forsake their denominational standing for the bounty of the magnate. In calling attention to the effect this fund has upon sectarian education ana its tendency to secularize schools arid colleges. Dr. McDevitt scores those colleges, founded to further the teachings of certain creeds, which, in order to share the bounty of the fund, have departed from their original principles and renounced the faith of their lnstitutors. I Says Christianity Is Slurred.

In an interview yesterday McDevitt reaffirmed his attitude, and said: "The church cannot quarrel with stitutions which are willing to nounce their religious beliefs and teach ing for money. That is their own dusi-ness, provided they do not, in shifting their position, cast a slur upon Christianity. But when, in order to Justify their attitude, they make such statements as that credited to the president of Swarthmore college in defining his acceptance of the Carnegie gift, then discredit is cast upon other denominational institutions of learning and it is time for Christianity to resent the slur." Quoting from the address of President Swain, delivered on June 10, Dr. McDevitt utilized as his for oo-jection these words: "Sects and creed change, and even vanish, but institutions of learning are for ages." "This." he said. "I construe as a reflection upon religious and denominational education.

When the responsible head of a college, not content with eliminating the so-called sectarian character from his own institution, makes a specious argument like this, I think it is time for those with the interests of Christian teaching at heart to arouse themselves. Church Should Disapprove. "If Brown university, organized as a Baptist Institution, and Swarthmore college, founded by the Quakers, can with clear consciences renounce their specific beliefs to become partakers of the bounty of a man who is willing, only on these conditions, dole out his pensions and subsidies, it is only a sign of the times. But It is one which should met with the stern disapproval of Christians." In his report Dr. McDevitt says: "In branding all religious education that draws Its life from a definite and fixed religious doctrine as an 'anachronism, as narrow, reactionary and out of harmony with the higher, progressive Ideals of modern days, these institutions which have accepted Carnegie's conditions have simply attempted to Justify their own policy.

"In the light of its result, no deeper wound has ever been Inflicted on true education than by Mr. Carnegie's endowment of educational institutions that are willing to change charters, renounce the principles of their foundation and shape their educational life according to the spirit of the policy of the man who subsidizes them. "If it is commercially profitable to reg-I ulate an educational institution according to the standards of the multi-millionaires of to-day, it may be equally profitable to change again In order to meet the requirements of the millionaire of to-! morrow. "If It were commercially profitable to cling to the religious faith that brought them Into existence, these Institutions would not have changed from their orig-j purpose. As it is, we have the spec-j tacle Of renouncing of principles and shattering of ideals for the things of this world.

"Catholics should protest against the attempt to discredit education, based upon positive Christian teaching, and should denounce this commercialism, which is destructive of all true learning."
