announcement that
Atlanta was one of the fourteen cities
selected to be visited by the organi
zation committee, the Atlanta bank
ers were quite sure Saturday morn
ing that that fact practically cinched
matters, so far .»» establishing At
lanta as the reserve city of one of the
great divisions was concerned.
“I simply don’t see how we can
miss it now," said Henry Davis, cash
ier of the Dowry National Hank.
"Here's the way we look at It." he
vent on. “The provision calls for
eight to twelve’ regional hanks. That
means cither eight or twelve. I take
1t. » number between hardly would
lie 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 flxpd at four. But with as
many as eight—well, I don’t see how
we can be passed by."
Arguments for Committee.
Mr. Davis waH asked about the ar-
gumenta that would tie offered to the
organisation committee when It met
here for Its public hearing In Febru-
,ir “For one thin*," he replied, "we’ll
show them that Atlanta ia situated,
geographically, in the center of the
Southeastern territory of the United
States There la no getting around
that point.
“Next, we purpose to show tnai
Atlanta already is the financial cen
ter of the whole South, not to restrict
it to the 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-
iounding any other Southern city.
“I that New Orleans and Hou«- f
ton alee are on the ‘visiting list’ of
tiie big committees. Now, so far as
New Orleans is concerned, it was
shown long ago that Atlanta s tribu-
tary section comprises more than
twice the size and scope of that
served by New Orleans. As for Hous
ton. even if it should be decided that
regional bunk should be placed
(here it would occupy a sort of Mid
dle South section, leaving Atlanta
without a rival for the Southeastern
hank, as New Orleans would auto
matically he obviated by the proximi
ty of the Houston bapk. 1 don’t see
hew we tan lose It now.”
Advantages Jo Atlanta.
Then Mr. Davis spoke of other ad-
\ antages to he derived from the es
tablishment of a regional hank In At
lanta.
"Here’s a copy of the new act wo
lust received from hte Fourth Na
tional Bank of New York,” he said.
It’s beautifully printed and gotten up,
but 1 must admit it would tuke a
Philadelphia lawyer to fathom It on
the first few readings. 1 suppose
there are crude provisions In It. as
well 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
,. jfo along. And there is no doubt-
ir .: the enormous importance und
\ alue of the proposition to Atlanta.
"For example, just by way of Il
lustrating the size of the project, 1
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-

"A a to thf* rate of Intercut, that is
yet to he established, but I nave no
doubt that it will be lower than th**
hi ale now obtainable In 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 <«ur$e, it is
said that the claims of other cities
will be considered. Rut It is the im
pression here that the eight, or the
twelve, regional banking locations

list:
New York, Boston
Louis, Denver, Seattle, rouuirui, war
Francisco, Dos Angeles, Houston, New
Orleans, Atlanta, Cincinnati anc

Atlanta Has Rivals
For Reserve Bank.
Word comes from Washington that
lh the plans to establish region.t!
banka under thf new law Atlanta h.js
at least two Important rivals in th*
Southern division. Houston and New
Orleans are 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 he
made Federal reserve cities.
Among the recommendations mainly
to be considered are geographical con
venience, tho industrial and commer
cial development and needs of the
section, and the 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
ar* and business men of the city will
bo ready at the hearings to present
the reasons, and the committee will
make whatever inquiries it deems
needful.

Secretaries McAdoo and Houston when
they visit here on their tour of the

“These statistics were astounding to
me as they will be to every other av

President Wllmer F. Moore, who is con-,
fident that Atlanta’s claims to the re
gional bank are superior to those of any
other city Jn this section
"I always had an Idea." he continued,
“that Atlanta owed its existence and
wonderful growth mainly to her geo
graphical location These figures have
convinced me thmt this Is only one of
the reasons There are a score of
others.
“If the selection of a location for the
bank were a matter of politics." he con
tinued, "Birmingham might win through
the influence or Oscar Underwood, hut
It can nof be made a matter of politics
and the best location will have to win.
I am sure that Secretary McAdoo will
have the same opinion when he reads
the figures .ve have compiled."

‘WHITE’ XMASFOR
258 PROM MILLS
Poor Children Are Guests of Little
Folks at the First Methodist
Church.
To-day 250 poor children of At
lanta are worfdering 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 symboli
cal of an ancient legend in which ail
the people bring white gifts to the
King or Christ Child. The lecture
loom of the church, in which the en
tertainment was given carried out the
idea, being decorated in cotton, which
gave a showy 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.
The little hosts and hostesses then
distributed well-filled stockings to the
poor children and served them with
refreshments.
The "white Christmas" lasted from
3 o'clock to 5.
A dozen—mayb* thirteen—produce
firms are to move off South Broad
street soon after the first of the year,
and there is a good deal of wonder as
to what sort of district that busy sec
tion will develop next, after the pro
duce men have taken up their new
stations along 1’roduce row, between
Washington street and Central ave
nue.
The sixteen buildings—three sto
ries, elevators, doi.e In concrete—
won't be ready by January 1, it seems.
But they wiU 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
what 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
a 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 when
they could move In a body.
Large Firms Involved.
“I understand the new ’row’ won’t
be ready for occupancy before March I
, 1," said one dealer. "My Idea is that
all the boys ought to go together; I
there’s no system in splitting up the !
territory, as would be the case If thev j
moved a few at a time. ‘Personally,
I’d rather pay rent at the new place
after It is ready and stay on hero
until the bunch goes. My lease runs
until next fall.”
The produce men Involved In the
prospective move are McCullough
Bros., the Wllllams-Thompson Com
pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the
Gallmand-Cheves Company, the
Barnes-Fain Company, the Fidelity
Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu-
gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa
ny, Wigt, Davis & Co., the McMillan
Produce Company, Conlev & Ennis,
Porter Bros, ani^ West Bros.
Among the property owners are
Frank Coker. Mrs. John Broomhead,
the Murphy estate, John Dickey, Jr.,
Alverson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es
tate.
