REASONS WHY STORY ABOUT CHARLES e.
DAWES CANNOT BE TRUE.
Washington, Jan. @.-The announcement that
President-elec Mckinley has decided to appoint
Charles G. Dawes Controller OF the Currency Is not
only denied at Canton. but bears the mark OF
canard its face. from the fact that the term OF
Controller Eckes will not expire until April, lsss
more than year after Major Mckinley VIII be In
augurated II can be stated that Mr. Eckels has no
intention OF vacating the ONCE until his term ex-
pires He cannot be removed summarily without
cause by the incoming President. The ONCE OF the
Controller Is peculiar one shown by the follow
ing section Of the National Banking act
The Controller OF the Currency shall be appointed
by the President on the recommendation OF the sec,
retary OF the Treasury by and with the advice and
consent OF the Senate and shall hold his once TOT
the OF five years unless sooner removed oy the
President. upon reasons TO be communicated BY MIN
10 the Senate.
This indicates that the authority Of the President
In the matter is limited As there Is no reason 70
believe that any charges upon which his removal
could be based will be brought against Mr. EckeIs
his tenure Is apparently secure until April lsss
Furthermore, 1t will be Mr.. Gage. as Secretary or
the Treasury who will have the selection OF the
Controller. according TO the law quoted. and while
he would naturally defer TO the wishes or his chief
in the matter the initiative rests with him.
