Washington. June 2S.-Controller Dawes and
other officials of the Treasury Department said
to-day that no criminal proceedings had been
decided on in the case Of the Seventh National
Bank In point of fact. IL criminal proceedings
are begun. IT will be in New York and not in
Washington. Bank Examiner Raynor, who Is
now in charge of the Seventh National. will re-

of the bank officials the District Attorney will
ask the United States Grand Jury TO indict who
ever may be designated by Mr.. Raynor as hav-
ing probably violated the National Banking
laws. 1t is expected here that IT will be known
Tomorrow whether or not criminal prosecutions
are to be instituted. Both at the Treasury De-
partment and the Department of Justice 1t is
suggested that the national banking laws have
been violated in at least two instances by some
body connected with the Seventh National The
law distinctly provides against false certifica-
ton of deposits by any bank officer. and pre-
scribes a penalty of $1,000 fine or imprison-
ment not to exceed five years. or both fine and
imprisonment
The law also declares that loans aggregating
more than one-tenth of the capital stock snail
not be made TO any one Individual firm by
national banks. Department of Justice officials,
however note as a curious feature OF this law
that no penalty for its violation is prescribed
Controller Dawes says the only punishment that
could be inflicted for violation of this statute
would be a suit to rescind the charter of the
offending bank. but that careful investigation
of the records of his office, covering period or
thirty years shows that national bank has
ever been proceeded against in this way for eX-
ceeding the prescribed limit OF loans to indi-
viduals. In other words. according to the Con-
troler of the Currency. this law for thirty years
has been more honored in the breach than in
the observance This penalty has. however.
