Mr.. Emo and His Friend.

There is something very singular in the
fact that John c. Emo, late president of the
Second National bank of New York (who
was arrested in Canada Saturday and re-
arrested yesterday, was accompanied by
Catholic priest when he was first recog-
nized in Quebec. Mr. Emo is not Catholic,
and according to popular rumor is not man
who would be supposed to care for the society
of q severe ecolesiastic. The dispatch an
nouncing Mr.. Eno's arrest, however, says
that he seemed to, be on very intimate terms
with his companion, and both were in a con-
vivial mood. On the evening that Emo was
taken into custody the priest left Quebec for
Montreal.
Inquiry in New York as to the identity Of
Mr.. Eno's clerical friend has brought the
name of the Rev. Thomas ]. Ducey into the
newspapers. He is the rector of st. Leos
Catholic church in New York, and is said to
have been on friendly terms with Mr.. Emo,
sometimes calling at his house. About the
time that the doposed bank president disap.
peared from New York Father Ducey started
for Canada on business. His assistant rector
knew nothing about the nature of the BUSH
ness, nor did he know anything of Father
Ducey's movements except that no was sup
posed to BIO tho guest of Mgr. Fabre, the
bishop of Montreal.
Coupled with tho sudden departure of
Father Ducey for Canada is another fact which
has excited comment. As has been recently
learned, tho funds of ST. Leos church were
deposited in the Second National bank, and
after the failure Father Ducey made frequent
visits to Mr.. Eno's house. Taking all these
circumstances together ID is not difficult to
formulate theory which accounts for the
presence OF Father Ducey and John G
Emo in Quebec, although it is hardly consist
emit with the character of thoroughly
conscientious priest. Father Ducey was
simply depositor, and stood in precisely the
same relation to the Second National bank
as other depostors. If the bank is solvent,
St. Leo's church will got its money back in
| uuo CouEso VI pueiuesb, anu III inc DanK
should be obliged to go into liquidation, the
church will get its pro rata share with other
creditors. What right has any creditor to
make terms with the fugitive presidentP
All Of this rests on the assumption that the
priest who was seen with Mr.. Emo in Quebec
was Father Ducey, and that ho was assisting
Emo in his attempted escape. 1t was matter
of common notoriety that Emo was wanted in
New York to answer criminal prosecution
for embezzlemont. Father Ducoy could not
have been ignorant of this fact. There must
have been some strong motive for shielding
the fugitive, aud, in the absence of any expla.
nation. the reasonable suppostion is that Mr..
Emo undertook to save st. Leos church from
loss through his defalcation. Such pro
ceeding may not DO repugnant to the con
science of Nr. Eno's clerical friend, but il
could not stand for IN instant in court OF
law

A Bill Amending the Laws In Regard 20
Them--Punishment Provided for Mis-
demennors OF Bank Officials.
Representative Buckner yesterday intro
duced bill to amend the national banking
laws. 1t provides that the capital stock of
banks may be increased from time to time
by depositing the full amount of the increase
and securing the approval of the comptroller
of the currency, provided that before issuing
a certificate the comptroller of the currency
shall be satisfied by the atlidavits Of the
president, cashier, and at least three of the
directors, and by q special examination OF
the affairs Of the bank by one of the
national bank examiners, that the increase
Of tho capital in required by business. and
is not made for the purpose, of paying eX-
isting liabilities Of the banking association,
or to avoid an assessment on the share
holders to make good any Impairment OF
the capital stock.
The bill amends the law relative to the
misdemeanors of bank officials to read rs fol-
lows: "That every president, cashier, teller,
clerk or agent Of any association who en-
beetles, abstracts, or willfully misapplies
any of tho moneys, funds, or credits of the
association. or who, without authority from
tho directors, issues or puts in circulation
any of tho notes Of the association, or who
without such authority, issues or puts forth
any certificate Of deposit, draws any order or
bill Of exchange, makes any acceptance
loans, or discounts, or assigns on any
note, bond, draft bill of ex'
change, mortgage, judgment or de-
cree, or who, without such Au-
thority, makes any loans or discounts or in
any way uses tho credit of the association
or who makes any false entry in any book,
report, or statement Of the association, with
intent in either case 10 injure or dofraud the
polite, or corporate, or any individual per-
son, or to deceive any officers of the associa-
tion, or any agent appointed TO examine the
affairs Of such association; and every person
who, with like intent, aids or abets any
officer, clerk, or agent in any violation OF
| this section shall be deemed guilty Of mis-
demeanor, and shall be imprisoned not less
| than five years nor more than ten"
The bill further provides that every bank
| ing association shall make to the comptroller
of the currency five annual reports, which
shall give the resources and Liabilities at the
close Of any past day specified by the comp
| troller. The resources shall exhibit loan
and discounts believed to be good loans and
discounts suspended, overdue, and doubtful
| loans and discounts overdue and unpaid more
than six months with the amount Of eacl
class and their aggregate amount.
1t is further provided that the comptrolle
| shall have power to call for special report
whenever, in his Judgment, tho same arr
necessary. Whenever the shareholders, rep
resenting one.hfth Of the capital stock, re
quest an examination Of the condition of tn
bank the comptroller shall order such OK

charged with crime merely for tho sake Of
bringing him within the terms Of the treaty,
and then tried for an oiIenso not covered by
the treaty after he has been brought within
the jurisdiction from which he fed. When
there is good reason to believe that this Is
going to DO done the fugitive will not be
surrendered. The same doctrine has been
laid down by some of the states in cases whore
it was apparent that the fugitive was to be
tried for an offense not mentioned in the
extradition warrant.

view with Mr.. Blaine, in which the latter is
made to say, in effect, that he has no desire
to be nominated for president, as he believes
the republican party will be defeated at the

made use of any such expression, and chal
lenges tho Herald to produce proof to the
contrary. The Herald claims to have four
witnesses to substantiato the statement as
published. Trot out the witnesses or shut up.

THE Washington banks need clearing
house. The system Of Clearances now in
vogue in this city is a relic of the stage coach
era. In our grandfathers days 1t was we'll
enough to send messengers around from
bank to bank leaving checks and drafts
and carrying away currency but
in this age and generation the thought of a
dozen boys running up and down the streets
with a quarter Of million in money care
lessly thrust into their rocl is not reas-
surfing. That sort of = is too risky.
There are clearing house every city of
considerable size in the country except
Washington, and no time should be lost in
having one here. Keep up with tho times.

bezzling some millions of dollars belonging

but embezzlement is not one of tho offenses
covered by the extradition treaty. The

there was nc evidence that it could be
