FOLLOWED AZ OLD PRACTICE.
Indiana Trcasurers Have been IN
the Hnblt of Lonning Money.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S.-The fall
ure OF Treasurer Gall, through the loss
OF S66,OO0 of state money In the India
nnpolls National bank Is causing a
great deal of comment, and In connec-
tion with It there has come to light the
practice OF such officers of lending
money to the banNs and thus evading
the law.
1t appears that the money was loaned
to the bank and n certificate OF deposit
was issued 70 Haughey and by Haugh-
cy Endorsed and turned over to the
treasurer. In this transaction the lat
ter's name did not appear upon tho
banks books and no investigation could
have shown that he was lending the
states money. Before the bank failed
CAL secured notes as collateral and
when the receiver took charge he found
these notes had been taken from the
bank. The parties who gave them were
notified to call at the Union Trust COM
pany and pay them. and thus the re-
eelver learned where the notes were and
under what circumstances they had
left the bank, and he demanded their
return, After consulting attorneys the
notes were returned and Gail was left
with no evidence of the indebtedness
but the certificate Endorsed by Haughey
and he Is compelled to share the loss
with the general depositors.
1t Is said that Gan followed q ls'ac-
tiCe which has been general among
state treasurers and which was de-
signed to cover up the fact that they
were violating the law which forbids
the lending OF money.
