les saying he intended to revoke
number of bank charters granted by
the Secretary of State. Governor Par
dee said he knew nothing about the
matter as it was entirely within the
jurisdiction of the Bank Commission
ers. He said he was convinced Wild
cat banks are a bad<thing and that
some of the charters granted never
should have been issued, but that
there was no way out of it at the
time the charters were applied for.
The Governor said it was his opinion
the Bank Commissioners had the pow
er to compel such banks to increase
their surplus to insure the safety of
the public.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. Tt is re-
ported here that there is a possibility
of Governor Pardee's revoking d con-
siderable number of bank charters
which were granted by the Secretary
of State during the interim existing
between the time when the statute
governing interpretations ceased to be
operative by reason of repeal some
two years ago, and the time when the
new lazy went into effect month lat
er. 1t is said that about seventy-five
charters were granted during this
time, most Of which were merely Sc
cured for speculative purposes and for
use in Incorporate commercial and
financial institutions with small cap
italization. About fifty of these char
ters still remain unused. it is reported
and for sale. In the opinion of many
these constitute a menace to sound
financial institutions in that they are
likely to be used and in fact, it is
claimed. many have already been used
in incorporating unsafe institutions.

CANFIELD NOW
IN LAWS GRIP

NEW YORK, Dec. Richard A.
Garfield and David Bucklin, respect
lively proprietor and manager of what
is said to be the most exclusive gam
bling house in this country, were in
dicted by the Grand Jury to-day on
the charge of maintaining a gambling
house at East Forty-fourth street.
They were then taken before Judge
Cumming and pleaded guilty to the
indictments.
Canfield's house is situated next
door to the city's most fashionable
restaurant and all his patronage came
from the wealthiest men in the city.
For years it was impossible to obtain
evidence against him because only
people known personally TO Garfield
or Bucklin or vouched for by one of
the regular patrons of the house were
admitted.
District Attorney Jerome several
years ago began a determined effort
TO secure the necessary evidence and
to this end he subDenaed Jesse Lew
isohn, a member of prominent busi-
ness firm, and called upon Lewisohn
to answer whether he had ever gam
bled in Canfield's house. Lewisohn
refused to answer on the ground that
he was not required to give reply
which might tend to incriminate or
degrade him.
A special act was passed by the
Legislature to provide immunity to
witnesses who might testify as Lew
isohn had been asked to do. Still
Lewisohn declined to answer on the
ground that the special act was un-
constitutional. He fought the case to
the Court of '~neals. the highest in
the State. and recently that court
handed down a decision sustaining the
act and holding that Lewisohn should
testify. Shortly afterward it was Civ

Will Have to Move.

Mayor Yerger received letter this
week from Chief Engineer Van Lucas,
OF Memphis, who is in charge Of this
district, calling his attention to the
levee in front Of the city and de-
manding the removal Of the city
dump and the shanties along the riv-
or front as soon as possible. The
Times has been working for tIsis
movement for some time, not only
for the Improvement of the olty,s
water front but for the health of the
citizens. The mayor has often ex-
pressed himself as favoriug the move
ment, but was powerless to act. But
the letter OF Engineer Van Lucas
means something has to be done both
by the city and levee board as to re-
moving the distractions or action will
be taken by him in the Federal court.
This, we are glad to say, is not neces-
sary as the mayor and council have
already taken active steps to remove
the dump and no doubt at the next
meeting of the levee board the shan
lies will be ordered to new sites in.
'ide the levee. Mr.. Van Lucas has
