The Sentinel has received the fol-
lowing communication from Rev.
Frank C. Brown. describing one of the
historic spots he has visited during
his southern trip: The stalwart may-
or of Richmond, Va., promptly vetoed
the ordinance of the Common council.
his design of which .was to give to
the congregation of St. John's Church
the privilege of building a memorial
chapel and parish house within the
enclosure of the church and burial
grounds. This historical spot is pro-
bably the most renowned of any in
America. Here it was the Virginia
House of Burgesses met upon the oc-
casion of Patrick Henry's famous
speech. over one hundred and thirty
years ago. The church in which the
meeting was hold is still standing and
is changed but little. if any. since that
fateful day. And it would seem to
be a desecration of a spot hallowed
by memories the most sacred. should
the commercial spirit. with its utter
disregard of anything and everything
of a sentimental consideration, be ob
lowed to crowd out of existence this
and similar landmarks upon the high-
way of timsMAndl feel that the fed
eral government should acquire these
sacred spots, that thus they may be-
come object‘lessons to the genera.»
tions as «they come and go that shall
lnspnre in them the same spirit of
patriotism that dwelt in the fathers.
The Hebrews erected alters here and
there throughout the land where they
dwelt or sojourned to commemorate
some great event in their history, or
some wonderful deliverance, and when
the children asked the meaning, the
full history was given. with the result
that there came to be with them a
passionate love for and devotion to the
fatherlsnd that time has not yet
dimmed. and in this we would do well
to imitate them. Rich as is Richmond.
Va., in objects and places of historic
interest, yet the visitor to that famous
city will miss much shall he fall to
visit the court presided over by Jus-
tice John Crutcltfield. or “Honest
John." or “Judge John." as he is fa-
miliarly and uffcctionately known.
Your correspondent, not upon a recent
Monday morning watching the. grind-
ing of this mill of justice whose grist
is the bodies and souls of men. And as
the procession passe-d in review be-
fore the man sitting upon the bench.
his eyes seemed to pierce the outer
covering and to read the interior

ing before him. Subterfuge. evasion.
concealment were equally vain; this
remarkable man compelled a confes-
sion in nearly every case. Smooth

missing nothing of all that is trans-
.plring, he is the embodiment of the
ideal justice. Every day between the
hours of 9:30 and 11 a. in. the police
drag net is emptied into the pen
where these human cattle are herded.
and promptly on the hour the grind
begins. Probably 00 per cent. of the
prisoners are blacks. ‘iWoll, nigger,
what you been doin'?" the justice calls
out in rasping tones. "I ain't bin doln'
nuthin. yo honah." (The charge is in-
terferlng with an officer). No. that’s
just it," fairly shouts the justice. "You
niggers that ‘ain't doin' nuthin' need
to be set to work and I'm solo: to
put you where you‘ll have something
to do; thirty days." Another quickly
takes his place. charged with being
drunk and abusive to an silicon. "You
been here before. nigger, what you

judge looked at him with acorn written
upon his face. be fairly yelled, ”How
can white folks expect niggors to do-
right. when they set such a bad c!-

was quickly convicted andssontenced
to prison. Next came a rather comely

more to the some effect. A man was
charged with hitting a woman in the
hood with a two-pound weight. but in-
asmuch as the woman was there to
testify. the judge didn't think that she
was badly hurt. and in commenting on
the case said to the defendant, “What
you want to hit her in the head for.
nigger? Don't you know you can't
kill a nigger by hitting him in the
hood? Five dollars." Some young
follows wore aocusodcfcorner looting
and making insulting remarks to wom-

land are sacred to us. and shall be-
protcctsd at any cost." And I applaud-
ed the sentiment. The case of a man
charged with stealing and selling a
horse is called. The liveryman to'
whom it was sold had not put in an
appearance. and he is sent for. When
at length he came. the court in thun-
der tones shouts. “Look here, Lassen.
you are a friend of mine. and in a
horse deal 1 would trust you to pick"
me out a good horse, if I left it to
you; but if I- pretended to know all
about horses you'd sure stick me. But.

derstand that you can't delay the
business of this court with imm'u'tuul~
ty; and if it ever occurs again. l’ll
make it cost you something. Look at
that nigger. is he the one that sold
you the horse?" ”I can't say." “Can‘t
say; yet you‘d known horse a mile
away that you’d doctored up to swin-
dle some one with." And yet with
all of this brusqueness. there is no
kindlier heart in all of this city of
Richmond. and many a poor wretch
with whom he has been compelled to
deal according to the law has later ap-
pealed to him, not in vain. and has
found in him a helpful friend.

The Gonnociicut State W' In-
mittos. which is acting in compaction
with the legislation committee of the
Hartford Clearing House association.
has prepared for distribution among
the banking institutions of the state a.
number of suggestions for a: uniform
law fur the incorporation of banks
and trust companies in this state. It
is the intention of the association to
present to the present session of the
general assembly a bill modeled close-
ly after these suggestions which shall
regulate along safe and sane lines the
lness in this state. in sending out
‘ these suggestions the members at the
committees disclaim any desire to curb
competition, or to curtail the privilege
of any one to do a legitimate banking
business, but they desire to do away
with the granting of special charters
and aim to have. all persons engaged
in banking conform to the same gene-
ral law. The granting of special char~
ters cannot be prevented except by a
change in the constitution of the state.
but the bill which will be presented in
accordance with these preliminary sug-
gestions will give a form of organiza-
tion which will be safe and reliable
and in compliance with the laws of
the state in regard to banking. it will
prevent excessive. unusual and impro-
per prlvlleges being obtained under
the disguise of a banking charter, as
has been done in past years, when so
called banking charters have. been ob-
tained. the provisions of which have
permitted the grantees to undertake
almost any commercial enterprise
from setting up an insurance company
to operating a street railway or a
steamboat line. Charters have been
granted permitting the establishment
and operation of branch banks. which
is in direct violation of the statutes
which forbid branch banks. Blanket
charters have been obtained for no oth-
er purpose than to sell them to the
highest bidder when the opportunity
afforded. and such charters have been
sold by more than one prominent citi-
zen of the state.
Connecticut, Maine and New Jersey
are the only states in the country
where these special charters, with
their wide opportunities, are now
aims in out. the laws of Connecticut
on a plane with those of New York
and other eastern states. where all
banking and trust companies conform
to the same general law.
The committee from the Bunkers'
association is composed of the follow-
ing members:
Meigs H. Wliaples. of the Connecti-
cut Trust and Safe Deposit .Company
Frank P. Furlong. of the Hartford
National Bank; Alfred Spencer. Jr., of
the Aetna National Bank: W. E. At-
wood, of the Mechanics National Bank
of New Britain; Lewis Van Keuren, of
the Colonial Trust Company, of Water.
burg and H. C. Warren. of the Mer-
chants Natlonai Bank of New Ha-
ven. .
The suggestions for a general law
for the incorporation of state banks
and trust companies are as follows
Section 1.—-Fifteen or more persons
may form a corporation to be known
as a state bank or a trust company.
Such persons shall. under their hands
and seals. acknowledge an organiza-
tion certificate in triplicate which
shall specifically state ' -
1. The name by which the corpora-
tion shall be known. .
2. The place where its business is
transacted.
3. The amount of its capital stock
and the number of shares into which
the same is to be divided.
4. The name, residence and postof-
flce address of each member of the
corporation.
5. The term of its existence
ceeding fifty years.
0. A declaration that each member
of the corporation will accept the res
possibilities and faithfully discharge
the duties of a director therein. if ei.
acted, to act as such when authorized
by the provisions of this chapter. One
such certificate shall, within sixty days
after its acknowledgement. be filed in
the office of the town clerk of the town
wherein such bank or trust company
is proposed to be located; one in the
office of the bank commissioners of
this state: and one in the office of the
secretary of state. The capital stock of
any such corporation must be at least
