Marion Jackson will make an ad dress on “To-day.” Child From Mill at White Xmas Fete One of the great regional banka is to be established in Atlanta, unless the firm expectations of every mem ber of the Atlanta Clearing House go aw ty Following the announcement that Atlanta was one of the fourteen cities selected to be visited by ibe organi sation committee, the Atlanta bunk ers were quite sure Saturday morn ing that that fact practically cinched matters, so far as establishing At lanta as the reserve city of one of the great divisions was com erned. “I simply don’t see how we can .miss it now,” said Henry Davis, .ash ler of the Dowry National Bank. __ ■ Here’s the way we look at it, he went on. "The provision calls tor, 'eight to twelve’ regional banks, i mu j means either eight or twelve, I take It a number between hardly would be necessary to the distribution of | the divisions. I’m mighty glad the President had his way about the num ber of banks. Atlanta might have been pushed pretty hard had the num ber been fixed at four. But with as many as .eight—well, J don t see how we ran he passed by. Arguments for Committee. Mr Davis was asked About the ar- BUTnents that would be offered to the organisation committee when it ne t 1 ere for its public hearing in Fcbru- *"-For one thing." lie replied, "we’ll show them that Atlanta is situated, geographically, in the renter of the Southeastern territory of tie. 1.tilted -States. There is no getting around Yhat point. •'W.5it. we purpose to Khou that At’.ahta already is tin* financial cen ter of the whole Houth, not to restrict It to tlie Southeastern States. -Then we haVe figures showing that the. tributary territory from which Atlanta draws Its commerce is far and away superior to that sur rounding any other Southern city. -J see that New Orleans and Hous ton also are on the ‘visiting list of ■Hie big committees. Now. so far as N^ew - Orleans is concerned, it v ' as *hown long ago that Atlanta’s tribu tary section comprises more than tv. ice the size and scope of that served by New Orleans. As for Hous ton. even if it should be decided that , regional bank should be placed j there it would occupy a sort of Mid- i die South section, leaving Atlanta without a rival for the Southeastern l ank, as New Orleans would auto- | 1 rustically be obviated by the proximi- i iy of the Houston bank.^ I don't see] 1 i,v\ we can lose it now.” Advantages to Atlanta. Then Mr. Davis spoke of other ad vantages to be derived from the es tablishment of a regional hank in At lanta. “Here’s a copv of the new- act we < us t received from hte Fourth Nu- t.onal Bunk of New York.” he said. ••It's beautifully printed and gotten up. but 1 must admit it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to fathom it on the first few readings. I suppose there are crude provisions in it, as veil as sound banking doctrine, for a measure of this size must needs be experimental in some of Its minor phases. •But that will all be worked out as we go along. And there Is no doubt ing the enormous importance and value of the proposition to Atlanta. “For example, just by way of il lustrating the size of the project. I understand that the regional bank force in Atlanta will be from 750 to 1,000 clerks. You can gain from that on idea of the business it will trans- H C t "It is believed the regional bank even may do away with the present clearing house association, handling ali the exchanges that formerly went scurrying over the country, with the focus at New York "When it comes to big loans, now negotiated bv Southern banks princi pally in the East, the regional bank here will probably be prepared to supply brand-new currency, direct from the reserve, in any quantity. I oon’t mean to say that huge amounts of money would be stored away in :he vaults of the local Institution. That probably would be dealt out by the master bank In Washington, the headquarters of all the regional banks. 1 don’t suppose it will bo ATLANTA 10 .^ 1 Matinee To-day, 2:30 Within the Law To night, 25citj$1.50 To-day’s Matinee 25c to $1.00 SEATS SELLING RAPIDLY FOR NEW YEAR’S WEEK STARTING MON.

Fourteen Cit«es Lead. “As to the rate of interest, that is yet to be established, but I have nu doubt that it will be lower than the scale now obtainable iri New' York." A good deal of the certainty that Atlanta will be selected among the reserve cities arises from the an nouncement by the organization com mittee of the list of cities it will visit -fourteen in all. Of course, it is said that the claims of other cities will be considered. Hut it is the im pression here that the eight, or the twelve, regional banking locations will be selected from the following list: New York, Bpston, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver. Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta. Cincinnati and Cleveland. * Atlanta. Has Rivals For Reserve Bank. Word conics from Washington that in the plans to establish regional banks under the new law Atlanta has at leapt two important rivals in the Southern division. Houston and New Orleans arc announced with Atlanta, and public hearings by the organiza tion committee are to be held in th >se cities some time in February to con sider their claims that they should be made Federal reserve cities. Among the recommendations mainly to be coi)8id<red Are geographical con venience, the Industrial and commer cial development and needs of the section, and tho already established custom and trend of business, as de veloped by the present banking sys tem. The committee will spend from two to four days at each place. The bank ers and business men of the city will be ready at the hearings to present the reasons, and the committee will make whatever inquiries it deems needful. Atlanta’s Claims Compiled by Chamber. Statistics compiled by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce showing why At % lanta is the logical point for the region al reserve bank of the Southeastern sec tion of the country wni no presented to Secretaries Mc.Adoo and Houston when they visit here on their tour of the l Bouth. “These statistics were astounding to I me as they will he to every other av erage well-informed Atlantan.” said President Whiner L. Moore, who Is con fident that Atlanta’s claims to the re gional hank are superior to those of any other city In this section. “I always had an Idea,” he continued, j “that Atlanta owed its existence and wonderful growth mainly to her geo graphical location. These figures have convinced me that this is only one of the reasons There are a score of j ot hers. “If the selection of a location for ! ic bank were a matter of politics,’’ he con tinued. “Birmingham might win through the influence of Oscar Underwood. but It can not he made a matter of politics and the best location will have to win 1 am sure that Secretary McAdoo will have the same opinion when he reads the figures we have compiled.’’ The statistics were compiled bv Sec retary Walter G. Cooper, of the Cham ber of Commerce, and were certified by an auditing company. Macon Enters Fipht For Regional Bank. MACON.

Potatoes for Poor Tickets to Cantata SEDALLV MO.. Dee. 27.—One po tato was th*- admission price to a cantata at tin* First Baptist Church. The audience obeyed Rev. B, L a i: - derson’s request that large- potatoes be brought, and 12 bushels of spuds were distributed to the city's poor. To-day 250 poor children of At lanta are wondering if the “white Christmas” given to them Friday by the children of the First Methodist Church was a dream. But then they have toys and other gifts to testify to its reality. The First Methodist children are correspondingly happy over the suc cess of their novel entertainment, which was the first of its kind in At lanta. Each child was a “personal Santa" to some less fortunate little brother or sister from the mill dis trict, and they enjoyed their roles as much as their guests. The "white Christmas" is symbol! cal of an ancient legend in which all the people bring white gifts to the King or Christ Child. The lecture room of the church, in which the en tertainment was given carried out the idea, being decorated in cotton, which gave a snowy effect. Several Christmas trees were cov ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent lights among the decorations made the scene brilliant. The children from the Sheltering Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc cupied chairs, while the Sunday school children sat on the floor. All joined in carols, after which “The Story of Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem- minger, pastor of All Saints Church.

A dozen—maybe thirteen—produce firms are to move off South Broad street sfx>n after the first of the year, and there is a good deal of wonder as to what sort of district that busy sec tion wifi develop next, after the pro duce men have taken up their new' stations along Produce row, between Washington street and Central ave nue. The sixteen buildings—three sto ries, elevators, done in concrete— won t be ready by January 1, it seems. But thwy will be ready as soon there after as possible, and when they are ready the produce men will have to start paying rent on their reserva tions, whether they move in or not. That rather complicates things. Some of the leases on the present stands run eight months into 1914. Some of them run longer. Some of the produce men have leases that will run two or three years. Hard to Sublet Stores. Just now they are trying to sublet the stores. “But it’s a tough job." one produce dealer said Saturday. “These buildings are not in good shape. I don’t see w hat sort of business aside from ours could be carried on in them.” There is an idea, fairly prevalent, that the owners o f the present pro duce stands will eventually put up handsome and substantial buildings and strive to make South Broad street ^ big retail thoroughfare, on the Whitehall street plan. But whether they will start his work before the present leases expire—that is anoth er question, and one the owners are not disposed to discuss freely. The produce men are engaged just now in trying to settle on a date W’hen they could move in a body. Large Firms Involved. “I understand the new ‘row’ won’t be ready for occupancy before March 1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that a 1 ! ihe boys ought to go together; there’s no system in splitting up the territory, as would be the case if they moved a few' at a time. Personally. I’d rather pay rent at the new place after it is ready and stay on here until the bunch goes. My lease runs until next fall.” The produce men involved in the prospective move are McCullough Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the Gailmand-Cheves Company, the Barnes-Fain Company, the Fidelity Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu- gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa rt* \Vigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan Produce Company. Conley & Ennis, Porter Bros, and West Bros. Among the property owners are Frank Coker.
