Chicago, (Special).—The North American Trust Company of New York is forming a combination of national banks of the country which is to inciudc one national bank in each financial center and State Capital. The combination will be known a* the American Bankers’ Corporation. which has been chartered in New Jersey with a capital of $5,000,000. and a surplus of $45,000^00. The plan is outlined in a confidential letter to various financier*. It says: "The American Bankers Corporation first purchase will be a large New York city national bank. New York will be the practical headquarters. “Recently the national banking act has been amended to pennit of expansion in this direction by the establishment of small banks all over the cognlyy. So that, barring the question of taxation, there would seem to be at first thought little to prevent the organiration of an immense national bank with this very purpose in view, provided it were established with large enough surplus to acquire a sufficient number of banks throughout the country.”

Proposed Soot hern Fares! Reserve. Mr. Dcpcw, of New Y’ork. addressed the Senate in advocacy of thc hill appropriating $10,000,000 for thc purcliasc of 2.000,000 acre* of land for a national forest reserve in Virginia. North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee. It is stated by thc committee reporting the measure that "it may fairly be urged that the establishment of this forest reserve in thc region of thc Sonthem Appalachian Mountains is a matter of great national importance; that owing to thc peculiar conditions existing in this region thc establishment of this reserve need not necessarily l>e accepted as a precedent for the establishment of similar reserves elsewhere

in thc East."

Mr. Depew said the project wa* favored by President Roosevelt and by the Secretary of Agriculture, and federal action was justified fully by public ncce*sity. He said the most favorable results might be expected from the establishment of the reserve: that within ten years thc great hardwood forests in the proposed reserve would be destroyed rn j tirely. Such a result would he disastrous | to the States affected and the entire

At thc conclusion of Mr. Depcw’s reI marks. Mr. Hale said tliat thc Senate I could not fail to lie impressed by the great importance of the subject. He iiad not been aware of the extent of the land to be purchased, but he thought that some action ought to be taken upon thc
