Bank plrectors' ResponslbilIty.

WASHINGTON, July 2S-It is understood
that Comptroller of the Currency Lacey will
urge upon Congress the enactment of some
very stringent amendments to the national
banking act to secure lgreater responsibility
Referring to this subject, Comptroller
Lacey says that there Is no question that,
in consideration of recent disclosures made
| of the lack of interest bordering on criminal
ity shown by some directors of national
whereby bank directors will be held to strict
responsibility, and by which the public will
be more perfectly protected. While do
not wish to pose as public lecturer on the
derelictions of bank directors, the records
show a wonderful lack of interest on their
part in the affairs of the banks with which
they are connected and of which as sworn
officers they should take the keenest interest
and exercise the greatest vigilance. The de-
pOsitOrS of bank have a right to demand
that directors shall know what their res
pective banks are doing and shall not trust
exclusively to the honesty OF cashier and
and other active officials. A large percent
age of the banks that have recently closed
their doors might have escaped bankruptcy
If the directors had done their duty"
Not a Pleasing Showing.
