Checks Pass Between Departments Over Seal and Fox Skins
The Department of Commerce saw two large checks yesterday one for 67660 dollars and one cent the other for 87660 dollars and one cent. The 67660 dollar check was made payable to Secretary Redfield for the government sale of Alaskan seal and blue and white fox skins in St Louis. Redfield signed it over to Treasury to be added to miscellaneous funds while noting fox skins fetched 10 to 15 percent more and seal skins 8 to 5 percent more than prior London sales. The penny check went to George Johannes, who discovered he had cheated himself out of one cent and returned it in check form. The Interstate Commerce Commission declined to establish a one line switching charge at Pittsburgh that would let Pennsylvania Railroad rivals virtually use its terminals. It urged joint rates for traffic transfer and warned it could act further if not adopted.

Bankers eye Federal Reserve board in new system
New York bankers and leaders in finance expect a surge of applications for membership in the national banking system within seven weeks. They stress caution until Wilson names the Federal Reserve board and the Senate acts, fearing the board's members will shape the central authority over the new system. The Treasury and central banking roles are seen as intertwined, with amateurs unlikely to lead the board.
