BANKS EXERCISE
POLITICAL PULL
Anxious to Be Desig-
mated as United States
Depositories.
Ask Senators and Congress-
men to Use influence in
Their Behalf.
Special Dispatch to The call.

CALL BUREAU, 14o6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Since the
publication of the fact that Secretary
Shaw had selected a list of banks to be
designated as United States repositories
in the distribution OF the emergency fund
many of the bankers are redoubling their
efforts to obtain the desired privilege and
others are sending in applications. All
kinds of political influences are at work,
and the Secretary on his return may find
himself in hot water.
No statement can be obtained at the
Treasury Department as to the method by
which it was determined just which banks
should receive deposits, but the impress
sion prevails among some bankers that
the selections were made in some cases
as the result of influence, and they are
bringing all the political pressure to bear
that they can obtain. In some cases Sem
ators and Representatives are strongly
urging that certain banks be given de-
posits.
A Chicago dispatch tonight quotes Sec
retary Shaw as saying the deposits in the
national banks will not at present be ma
terially increased out of the emergency
fund, and that thus far deposits have
only been sent to a few agricultural dis
tricts, where applications had been made
by the banks months ago. Increased de-
posits at the national banks may be
made, however, in case of emergency.

SURGEONS TELL STORY
OF INJURIES DONE
Testify in Damage Suit Trial of Ger
trude Johnson Against South
ern Pacific Company.

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-In the case of lit
tie Gertrude Thompson against the South
ern Pacific Company, wherein she sues
for S25,515 damages for injuries, the prin-
cipal point to-day was the testimony Of
doctors. The 16-year-old girl was thrown
from the steps of a car two years ago by
the sudden starting Of a train at Niles
station.
DR.. 7. Q. Aiken, medical superintendent
of the Masonic Home at Decoto, told of
being called in the case. He found a
shattered arm and a fractured skull, and
testified to the belief that K injury
would be permanent
DR.. F. Bryant explained how a space
Of shattered bone two by three inches
had been taken from the girls head. This
space is now covered by the brain tissue,
the scalp and hair only. His belief was
that nervousness and general debility
would be a permanent result of her in
juries.
DR.. L. F. Herrick testified that he had
made an examination of the girl and
taken data in regard TO the case. He
stated that she had fallen off in weight
from 124 pounds two years ago to about
1O4. He answered a hypothetical ques-
ton as to the result OF such injuries in
about the same strain as the doctors who
preceded him

had summoned some witnesses 10 testify
that he was drunk on the night Of the

Secretary Hay has sent long telegram
to Beaupre, directing him to reiterate to
the Government Of Colombia the state
ment made previously by him that the
United States will not accept any modifi-
cation or amendment of the Panama canal
treaty Beaupre was told to make IT clear
that President Roosevelt, by whose au-
thority the instructions were sent, was
obliged to be guided by the limitations of
the law authorizing the construction of
the canal and that he regarded the terms
given by the United States as the most
liberal that could be obtained by Colom-
bia within the scope of the law. The
spirit of the instructions is that Colombia
can accept the rejected treaty as it
stands or lose the opportunity of having
the United States build a canal in its ter
ritory.
DR.. Herran is momentarily expecting
advices from Bogota announcing action
by the Senate committee to which was
intrusted the question of proposing
amendments to the treaty which it was
hoped would prove successful and lead to
ratification. He believes that sufficient
time has now elapsed for full considera-
