Rome Feb 3.-Thc pressure among the Dcpu-
ties for a Parliamentary inquiry into the bank
scandals was increased to-day ly confirmation of
the report that Signor TaulongO, the imprisoned
governor of the Bank of Rome. had made
statement implicatine Premier Giotti and eX-
Premicrs Di Rudlni and Crspi. Immediately
after the opening Of the Chamber tile President
had read a letter from eX-Prcmicr Crispi The
letter stated that Crspi had never handled 4
Ira from the Bank Of Rome. that nobody in
office in the days Of his Premiership so far as
he knew, had had any official Or personal re-
lNtions with the hank. and that he had never
seen or heard anything to !ndlcatc that his rrclc-
cessor or his successors had received any money
from the bank for political or private purposes
were he not confined t. MS bed, Crspi wrote,
lie would appear before the Chamber to prove
the falscncss Of Taulongos statement As soon
as ho recovered he would appear to defend
himself
Signor Colajanni spoke at length concerning
the necessity of appointing a Parliamentary COM
mission 10 inquire into the scandal Ills speech
was delivered amid increasing confusion. which
suddenly swcllcd to an uproar when. IN conclu
sion. he shouted dciantly:
The National Bank has paid annually large
sum OF money TO the Secret Service Fund All
have suspected this and many Cf us know il
"A moro utterly false statement could not bc
made in this House, exclaimed Premier GIoli,ti
who was on his feet TO reply before Colajann
could seat himself. The Premier then addressed
himself TO the Deputies, WHO. he said intent
upon forcing Parliamentary inquiry. II was
for the Chamber to decide whether or not Deputy
Zcroi, who is charged with having received large
subsidies from the Bank of Rome, should bee de-
liveied up TO the criminal law Ut once. but he
and his colleagues IN the Ministry would resist 10
the last every attempt to authorize an mvc,tiga-
tion by commission Of Deputies. The courts
Of justice had ample powers TO deal with the
matters in question and there was necessity
of an extraordinary tribunal The appointment
of Parliamentary commission at the present
juncturc would produce the general impression
that the Chamber wished to arrest the progress OF
Justice. and h,retore would discredit at once
tie Deputies and the Government III the eyes oi
