BANKER STILL FREE.
People of Washington Incensed Over
Inactivity of Authorities.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Ind, Oct. 3.-There is
considerable criticism here because of the
arrogance of the disgraced banker and
the apparent neglect of the situation by
the federal authorities. Davis goes about
the streets bemeaning men whom he
charges with completely in his downfall,
many Of whom are in no way connected
with it. He has charged some of those
who were most jealous in their attempt
to divert him from his headlong plunge with
having conspired against him and with
having received a percentage of his losings.
Friend and foe are dragged into the mat
ter.
There is plenty of talk about prosecution,
but no action and the general public Won
ders how it is hat a bank official who con-
fesses his guilt Of misdeeds of such mag
nitude can walk the streets when crimes of
much smaller degree are severely punished.
1t is said by many of the best citizens that
the situation is a direct reflection on the
banking system to say nothing of the evil
moral effect.
