edent of Bankers.

CHICAGO. Dec. S.-secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw arrived in the city from
Washington this morning and i'm an inter-
view practically declared that there would
be no criminal proceedings growing out OF
the closing Of the Chicago National bank
and the Home Savings bank Of this city.
He said
John r Walsh did not take one dollar
dishonesty. He did no more than many
others bankers in the United States are
doing all the time"
The rumor OF criminal prosecution" de-
clared the secretary, lis nothing but talk
There has been no embezzement or theft
For every dollar taken out gilt-edged secur-
ty was placed within. The depositors will
get every dollar they deposited. and when
that has been accomplished the RESPONSE
bility of the government ceases. That part
OF the banking law prohibiting the loaning
Of more than 10 per cent OF the capitaliza-
ton TO one man may have been violated
That is not criminal violation and all that
can be done is to liquidate the bank and
pay of the depOsitors. The violation OF
that law by one bank is no more than has
been done ~ almost every bank in the
