NATIONAL BANKS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—There
were more than 2,750 national banks

troller of the currency.
The authorized capital of these
banks was $1,070,139,175, with an out
standing bond secured circulation
amounting to $740,633,645. During
the year 217 applications to organize |

24,000 Executed In China.
PEKING, Jan. 20.—It is officially
estimated today that 24,000 execu
tions were carried out in the Prov
ince of Szechuen alone in 1913.
Most of those ordered to be killed
were robbers, but in the total were
included a large number of political
offenders who had been concerned in
various movements during the transi
tion period from an empire to a re
public. It is hihted by officials that j
the actual figures, if they could have j
been known, regarding the executions, j
wouldt probably exceed the estimate.
