The Comptroller of the Currency last

rary receiver OF the American National
Bank of Baltimore This bank has suf-
fered large shrinkage in deposits and
has sustained some heavy losses which
have involved its capital and surplus and
recuced greatly its cash resources. The
condition of its assets is such that the
loss to depositors will probably be small.

Baltimore yesterday afternoon 1t was de-
cided that in view of the condition OF the
bank no further credit could be extended

of a condition of insolvency a receiver
was appointed.

Circulation statement.
Let the White House Alone.

It has been suggested that in view of
the constantly increasing necessity for
more room in the Executive Mansion al
terations and additions should be made to
the present structure so that the Presi-
dents of the future may not be crampcd
for space, either in entertaining or doing
necessary business. 1t is scarcely need
full TO say that the proposed changes in
the White House do not meet the approval
either of the people of Washington or the
rest of the country.
There is great need OF new Executive
Mansion and one should be built as large
and as beautiful as possible. But the
White House. with all its historic asso-
Citations and traditions. should remain ex-
actly as it is. The new Executive Mansion
should be erected in some place which viii
be convenient for the President in every
way but it should not be situated on any
part. of the grounds about the White
House. These should be kept as a public
park. Whether the White House itself,
or any part OF II. shall be used as an Office,
on account of its proximity to the Treas
ury and the State, War. and Navy Depart
ments, may safely De left to the discretion
of the President who may be occupying ii
when the new structure is completed. 1t
will be his business to decide whether he
wishes to keep al office there or have the
building used as a museum. in which rel
ics associated with former Presidents may
be kept This would be an appropriate
use for the mansion. since IN that way the
traditions connected with it could be pre-
served without interfering with the needs
of the present generation. The difference
between the needs of today and those of
1900 has already made it necessary TO al
ter the building more or less in order that
its occupants might be comfortable. This
necessity should not exist in the future.
house which is kept simply as a mu-
scum. or as an Office, may remain sub
stantially as il is for many generations:
ore which is used as a dwelling cannot.
This country has not many historical
monuments as ii is: care should be taken
not TO destroy the few which have
mained unhsrmed by the insistent de-
mands of modern life.
1t is imperative. therefore, that an ap-
propriation should be made for new Ex
ecutive Mansion as soon as possible, and
that the sum set aside for this purpose
should be ample. Moreover, the archi-
tectural design skoEld not be left to the
judgment Of an army officer or follow the
views Of some former mistress of the
White House There should be competi-
tton. open to the architects OF the world,
and prizes should be offered which will
make 1t worth while for any competent
man TO submit a design. even II he does
not eventually secure the work. There
should be no false economy in the build
ing or fitting up of this new home for the
President, nor should there be false lux
rry. The building should be worthy Of
the American people and large enough to
provide for all emergencies for another
century.
