Mr. Mason said that as he strolled

finitely better moral atmosphere.
"By comparison the old home town
was inviting with a shining purity,”
he said.
Upon Mr. Mason’s return to the
city one of the first matters to come
to his attention concerning the police
was the arrest of a young couple for
spooning on the Capitol steps.
"I don't approve of that arrest,” he
declared with emphasis. “That's a
universal, time-honored method of
courtship, and a policy of arresting
people for yielding to that indulgence

DESTRUCTION WROUGHT
BY HOT SPRINGS FIRE.
$10,000,000 of property.
2,000 persons are homeless.
An area a mile long and ten
block wide is a waste of smol
dering ruins.
500 residences are burned.
The courthouse, light, water
and power plants, high school,
Iron Mountain depot and shops,
three hotels, a theater and other
public or semi-public buildings
are destroyed.
HOT SPRINGS. ARK.. Sept. S.—
With 2,000 persons homeless, many
of them penniless, and a property loss
estimated at $10,000,000, the greater
part of Hot Springs to-day is a mass
of smoking ruins from fire that for
nine hours swept an area from seven
to ten blocks in width, in the eastern
portion of the city.
No fatalities have been reported.
But few of those whose homes were
destroyed saved any valuables.
The fire originated in a negro house
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and
spent itself only when it reached the
foot of West Mountain, the Southern
extremity of Hot Springs, at mid
night.
Hotels, manufacturing plants and
many fine residences were destroyed,
and for a time it appeared as if the
entire city was doofned. The hard
est fight was to prevent the flames
from gaining a headway on Central
avenue, the principal business street.
In this fight dynamite was used to
wreck buildings.
Militia on Duty.
State militia are to-day patrolling
the burned district. United States
soldiers may he sent here from Little
Rock to protect property In the Gov
ernment reservation. Governor Hays
arrived about midnight and ordered
the State military patrol. In addi
tion, 250 men were sworn In as po-
Ucenlen to patrol the district. Thus
far there has been no disorder.
Ail the homeless have been cared
for temporarily, and the many offers
of assistance from the outside will
probably not be necessary, as the
citizens of Hot Springs declare they
can handle the situation.
The Little Rock fire department re
sponded to a call for assistance on
board a special train, and did good
work in the fight, but it was several
hours before the ‘‘forts of the fire
fighters made any impression, and
then only in preventing the spread
to Central avenue.
Public Buildings Burn.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the city light, water and power plants,
the county courthouse, the Park,
Princess and Moody Hotels, City High
School, Iron Mountain Railroad sta
tion and shops, Ozark Sanitarium.
People's Laundry, Crystal Theater
and Bijou Rink, besides 100 or more
smaller business buildings.
During the fire a gale was blowing,
at times reaching a velocity of 40
miles an hour, thus making the fight
more difficult. As the firemen were
dynamiting a house the flames, forced
by the gale, would leap over them and
ignite a dozen other houses. After
the destruction of a number of build
ings in an attempt to turn the fire
toward South Hot SprlngR, the course
was changed to such an extent that
it finally spent itself against West
Mountain, and the business section
was saved.

Company will be enabled to make

upon an aggressive policy with the
determination to make the company

Believes That Senate Will Enact
Good Law, but Not at This
Session.
Former Mayor Robert F. Maddox
believes the committee of seven mem-
bers of the American Bankers’ Asso
ciation succeeded in convincing the
United States Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency that changes
are advisable in the Owen-Glass cur
rency bill before it is made law.
Further, he thinks the signs are
that the bill will not be passed at the
present session of Congress. Sen
ator Weeks, of Massachusetts, has
introduced a resolution asking for a
report of the Banking and Currency
Committee to be presented December
2. This will postpone final action un
til another session.
Mr. Maddox, vice president of the
American National Bank, returned to
his office Saturday morning. With
the bankers' committee he was in
Washington Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. Each day's session, ne
says, was long, and he left the de
liberators still at work late Thursday
night, with prospects that they would
be “at it” until Saturday night.
Puts His Faith in Senate.
"We were particularly impressed,"
says Mr. Maddox, “with the courte
ous and attentive hearing we were
given. The Senate seems intent upon
producing a currency and banking
system which shall be the best pos
sible for the country. It seems to
feel that our assurances of frankness
and patriotism were sincere, and to
be ready to give weight to our sug.
gestions. I believe when the Senate
is through with the currency bill It
will be a good law.
“The bankers from all over tile
United States who made up the com
mittee seemed unanimous in their
opinion that business conditions in
the United States are sound, and thet
there will be no further stringency of
money this fall. They do not think,
however, that any material reduction
in Interest rates will be seen because
of the heavy demand for money.
"Since there is no emergency at
hand and because the subject is jL,
such vital importance, I believe Con
gress should not pass the measure
nastily, but should give the fullest
study to the subject, and hear not
only the bankers, but also the busi
ness men of the country.”
Assigned Savings Clause.
Each banker was assigned certain
features of the currency bill to dis
cuss. Mr. Maddox was assigned the
savings deposits clause, and the por
tion which virtually inhibits country
banks from charging exchange on
checks.
The Senate now seems inclined to
kill the latter and the House the for
mer, Mr. Maddox says.
A charge for the collection of
checks, small on each but large in
the aggregate, is an important item
in the earning# of 4,700 small na
tional banks, 63 per cent of the total
number of 7,393. Mr. Maddox argued
to show the unfairness of eliminat
ing this source of revenue, and to
show that many banks would not
Join the new regional banks if this
feature remained.
Segregation of savings deposits and
restrictions forcing investment of
these funds In long-term mortgages
and bonds would result, Mr. Maddox
argued, lu withdrawing $760,000,000
from the channels of local trade and
commerce. Under the present sys
tem the money the workingman saves
Is loaned back to his employer, thus
enabling the employer to continue his
business, possibly to enlarge It and
employ more labor.
To upset this system, he believes,
would disturb conditions seriously
and result In higher rates of interest.
