WASHINGTON. May 10.-At a banquet
tonight. given in honor of the new Comp
trolier CT the Currency, Eckles. that
gentleman, in speaking of the national
banking system, said, in part: II believe
that upon every national bank is placed a
moral obligation to hold itself in readiness
to assist the officers of the Government in
every time of distress in maintaining the
nations credit. am aware that no legal
reason exists for such a course, but having
drawn so much of wealth and power to
themselves through the generous dealings
of the Government with them, the banks
OF this country can i'll afford 10 place them
selves in the attitude of looking with in
difference upon the anxiety Of the financial
representatives of the treasury when the
integrity of the Government is threatened.
A proffer OF help from them at such times,
spontaneous in its character ard patriotic
in its motive, would disarm thousands of
critics who are loud in their denunciatiOn
and would reconcile them to the system. 4"

The greatest number of ballots tailed In
one day during the judicial recount was
scored yesterday In the mayoralty election
contest before Judge Murphy. The num-
Der was STA, and the total result yielded
neither gains nor losses 10 either Mayor
Ellert or DR.. 0'Donnell. Seventeen pre-
cincts Of the Thirty-ninth Assembly Dis
trict were disposed of during the day, max

important change from the official count
Was in the Thirteenth Precinct, where
Mayor Ebert gained five votes and DIR.
ODonnetl oae. Slight changes 10 the other
precincts brought out both candidates even
at the time Of adjournment.
DR.. O'Donuell has not yet lost heart. He
claims because his name Was the last in the
column for Mayor that many voters were
careless about stamping the cross in the
square opposite to his name. There was no
name immediaely below his. and large
number of crosses intended for him were
either on The line or just below 1t. All
these, according 10 DR.. OD0nnelGs state
ment, were counted a blanks by Judge
Murphy. He claims that the Intention OF
the voter should be- taken into conSiera-
tion. In similar cases in the Scott-McDade
recount judge Slack ruled that the cross
just above or below the line counted as
though II had been exactly in the square.
Dr. O'DOnnell exhibited tabulated lists of

There are fifteen other districts vet to be

votes should be thrown out for the game
