Receiver Hawkins, of the Indianapolis
National, yesterday telegraphed to Con-
trolleR Eckels. stating that he had caused
TO be arrested the president and others con-
nected with that defunot institution. and
that he has evidence upon which will be
based informstions for the apprehension Of
others who were connected with the
banks management or interests. Nix.
Hawkins stated that IL he con-
tinued the work of issuing processes
for the apprehension of men guilty Of mis-
conduct in connection with the bank be

days. as the work required time and his
personal attention. The Controller replied
directing Mr.. Hawkins to remain at his
post of duty and continue his present ocou-
patton of causing arrests and NOS attempt
TO go there for consultation with Treasury
or Department of Justice officials till all of
those whose apprehension was oontem-
plated have been held TO answer TO the

lntimations are made that some of the
other borrowers from the bank have viO-
lated the law. Who these are cannot be
ascertained. Possibly they are some OF the
employesof President Haughey. whom Con-
troller Eckels characterized In his synopsis,
last week, as SO far from being good securi-

K. Peirce and Charles 4. Meyer. Mr..
Hawkins said he was not willing to talk
about this matter at the present time. but
from his reply it Is inferred that there
will be new Developments and further ar
rests early next week. There was q rumOr
ahoat yesterday that Cash. or Rexford had
been arrested but thoro was no foundation
for the report. When Mr.. Hawkins was
told OF the rumor he said:
Il gave q Journal reporter my views OF
Mr.. RexfOrd's connection with the bank

will be the one TO make them. and l have
not made any against him."
Mr.. awk believes that Mr.. Rexford
was not allowed TO know of the crooked
ness in the bank. The cashier was busy
yesterday assisting the receiv er.
The examination of the
Haugheys. the Cofiinsand Mr.. Reed. on Mon
day, Is expected to bring out q number of
details of the banks MANAGEMENT that
have not yet been made public. Special
Examiner Young is still in the city. and 1t
10 not improbable that he Will be put on
the stand as q witness Tor the government.
Mr. Hawkins said that he did not know
whether the bank was to go on
the stand or not; that the district attorney
had the right to call for him If he chose.
Mr.. Hawkins said. with o grim smile, that
he thought Mr. Young would make q very
good witness. lt has been stated that the
bank examiners report was considered In
the nature Of q confidential document. but
there is nothing in the ethics of bank ex-
animation that should deter him from tell
ing what he knows about q rotten bank
shat be was sent by the government to ex-
anime.
Burke's mission to Washington, for there
he has undoubtedly gone. is to find
whether or not the government can cause
the arrest of the directors of the bank. The
banking law. while explicit in q number
of provisions. 10 somewhat vague on others.
and every time there is q prosecution un.
der 1t there Is q complaint against the
law. No attempts are afterward made to
remedy 1t. however. The men arrested on
Monday for participating In the BAR X
wreckIng may waive an examination be-
fore the Commissioner on the 2Sth. but
this will not prevent q part of the evidence
of the governments from coming out. The
government must show that IL hss grounds
for an indictment or indictments by the
grand jury. In tho Coy conspiracy cases
there was an attemt to skip the prelim-
mary examination, but evidence In part
tor the prosecution was heard.
The atidavits against the defendants
contain several charges that have not
heretofore been made public in the exam
inatiOn of the bank. The first count
against the president is that he embezzled
100000. Among the charges against
Schuyler Haughev Is that he abetted and
aided his father in discounting worthless
notes made To the glue company and til Q
curled-hsir company by Charles Geist,
John f. White and L. Strassner for the
sum of $4,000. These are straw men
whose names have not before been made
public. The charges against the Collins
and A. 8. Reed charge them with aiding
and abettIng President Haughey IN Will

funds. a charge new to the public Is that

alton that had no existence.
