CANAL DISCUSSION.
Senator Morgan Thinks Two Canals
Will Be Needed.

Washington.-The Senate spent four
hours Friday in discussing the Panama
canal emergency appropriation bill.
and when it adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. There were set
speeches by Messrs. Teller, Scott and
Morgan, and they were followed by a
general debate in which all phases OF
the controversy were exploited, includ-
ing salaries, control of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
legislation on the canal subject.
Scott and Morgan wanted a canal on
the San Bias route.
Mr. Allison, chairman OF the COM
mittee on appropriations, expressed
the opinion that Congress should take
up the question of salaries in connec-
ton with other canal legislation. He
also said that the status of the Pan
ANA railroad should be made the sub
ject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller. Scott and Morgan ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the con-
ditions in Panama, but all indicated n
determination to support the supply
measures necessary to secure the con-
struction of the canal as Mt present I'M
dertaken.
Mr.. Teller advocated a sea level ca
nal: Mr.. Scott spoke in support of the
San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
is completed another canal will be nee
essary to do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the issu.
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
government bonds was passed without
debate.

CRAzED BANKING
FRENZlED FiNANCIER'S MANIA
FOR STARTING BANKS.
WANTED THEM EVERYWHERE
Eighteen or Twenty Banks and Trust
Companies-certificates cashed Of
Institutions That Never Opened
Their Doors

Denver--C. B. Wiley. former presi-
dent of the Denver Savings Bank. CON
tinued his testimony Friday. In COM
menting on it the Republican says.
From the mania which urged Leonard
imboden to create banks, an obsession
as binding on him apparently as is the
instinct of cell life to reproduce and
hold to life, the bank creator could not
that while he was maintaining his race
to keep up with Oklahoma and Indian
Territory in their sweeping develop
ments of the last two years, his deter
mination being to have an Imboden
bank in every town and city and as
many trust companies as possible, he
formed banks that never even opened
their doors. But Notwithstanding, they
are creditors to the defunct Denver
Savings Bank.
In justice to this king among bank
kiters, it should be said that this was
merely an oversight on his part, what
ever it might have been with his com
rades in the bank building business
He would have ordered the doors
thrown open and invited business, had
he thought of it; whereas. his part
ners, the missing II. l.. Hull in partic-
ular, were willing to have the flatter-
ingly engraved certificates on hand,
and satisfied to have near by the ex-
pensive linen glazed letter heads and
envelopes, which did not contain the
name of lmbOden, however. or all the
banks and trust companies formed
through the Unsuitable desire of the
man with the American Bankers As
sociation brand upon him, some eight
cen or twenty in all, not one had his
name emblaZoned on windows, doors
or stationery.
The evidence of yesterday went to
show that ImboGen and Hill and the
Hulls drew as high as 100000 from the
Denver Savings Bank, depositing
therefor the gaudy certificates Of the
bank stock of banks and trust compa
MES that were never in actual exist
ence. The defendants must have put
the money in their pockets. But I'm
boden did so simply because he could
not keep track of his many ventures in
trust companies, railroads, elevators.

1t would have been more profitable to

pOsits. although this procedure was not
all essential in the Imboden-Hill-Hull
enterprises.
Charles b. Whitley. one of the prin-
cipal witnesses for the prosecution. a
former president Of the Denver Saw
ings Bank under the Imboden regime,
made confession of guilt yesterday
AS discovered by the receiver of tho
Denver bank. and as given to the
grand jury called to investigate the af.
fairs of the bank. Wiley made loans
on commissions. which he pocketed
and bought bonds and charged the
bank higher prices than they cost him
and such like.
But Wiley gave damning evidence
against Hill and Imboden, before they
had opportunity to boast of his owa
discontinue. Whitley was shown a
draft and a certificate of deposit for
the benefit of Imboden institutions.
which contained forgery of his name
and OF L. L. Hulls name, he declared.
