FREEDNANs BANK INvEsTIGATIoN.-TheS Sem
ate select committee on the Freedmap's Bank
examined Marshal Frederick Douglass, Its for
mer president, and Messrs. Tompkins and Au-
gusta, its former bookkeepers on Saturday.
Marshal Douglass testified that soon after his
appointment as president he discovered that the
bank was unsound. and made known his dis
coyery to congressional committee and the re-
suit was the legislation which placed the insti-
tuition In the hands OF the present commission
ers He testified that he was the only trustee
OF the concern that had any deposits there when
the bank failed, and that at one time he loaned
$4,000 to tide it over impending difficulties.
When asked his opinion as to the cause of the
banks failure, Mr.. Douglass said that the prin-
clple on which 1t was founded was q defective
one-that no moneyed institution based upon
class or race preferences could hope to be per-
manently successful Bookkeeper TOmpkinS In
defense Of PIT the charge that the ledger pages con-
tanning his account were missing, testified to
the bad condition OF the book; WholB leaves
being loose between the cover, and that the book
had, on several occasions to be sent to Phila-
delphia to be rebound ExInspeCtOr Sporry

1t is fortunate that this large surplus
