FEDERAL JUDGE DECLARED NOT
GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS BY
VOTE OF SENATORS.
REPUBLICANS LINE UP FOR AC-
QUiTTAL, WITH DEMOCRATS
FOR CONVICTION.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate,
sitting as a court of impeachment for
the trial of Charles Swayne, district
fudge for the Northern distr& OF
Florida, acquitted him on all of the
! twelve articles of Impeachment
brought by the house of representa-
tives. On none of the articles was
there even a majority for conviction,
although it required two-thirds to con-
Wet. The closest vote was on the last
article, the contempt case of w. G.
ONeal, when 35 senators voted guilty
and AZ not guilty, while on two articles
| only 13 senators voted for conviction.
The voting for the most part was on
party lines, Messrs. Bard, klttredge,
McCumber and Nelson, Republicans,
voting with the Democrats for convic-
ton, and Messrs. Dubois and Gibson
| casting their ballots with the Repub-
licans for acquittal. At the conclusion
| of the voting the presiding officer di-
rected the secretary to enter an ae-
Quittal upon the records and the court
then adjourned without day.
Judge Swayne was not in the senate
during the roll calls, but in the presi-
dents room just back of the chamber.
| The result of each ballot was sent to
him by his attorneys. Five or the
| house managers attended during the
proceedings.

As no NATIONAL BANKs.

A statement of Receiver Bradley, in
his interview published in the Sunday
State Journal, is remarkable. not to
say startling.
He calls attention to the fact that
it is against the law to make excessive
loans in a national bank. but that
there is no penalty attached.
Mr.. Bradley even apparently advo-
Gates the violation OF this law under
certain circumstances, saying. Il do
not think it would be well to attach
penalty. There are many cases where
it becomes necessary to loan more
money than can be lawfully loaned"
The statement of Bradley that there
was no criminal violation of law i'm
connection with the failure of the First
National bank. indicates that there is
something the matter with the ma
tionaI banking system. Any system
that allows other peoples money to be
used and dissipated as were the funds
belonging to the depositOrs of the
First National. certainly is not right.
1t is noticeable fact. too. that
most of the bad bank failures of the
country are those of national banks.
although state banks are much more
numerous. 1t may be argued that
this is because the national banks are
the larger and more important This
is true as a rule, but it is also true
that a considerable number Of the
state bank failures are caused by the
failure Of national banks with which
they are connected. Mr.. Bradley pre-
sents statistics going back to 1862 to
show that national banks are the safer.
but if these figures are correct it is
evident that the state banking laws
have been greatly strengthened of late
years. This is true in Kansas, which
now has an exceptionally good law.
The trouble in the case of the First
National, as every one now knows, was
because over 81. 100000 was loaned to
corporations in which c. J. DevIin was
wholly or largely interested. Mr.. Dew
lin was the real borrower of this great
sum of money. almost the entire de-
posts Of the bank. The bank ex-
aminers certainly ought to have
known this fact. and even though the
law was not criminally violated by
reason Of the loans being made in the
name Of different companies and cor
porations, the spirit of the law was at
least violated, and the poor policy OF
it must certainly have been apparent
It is the popular idea that the federal
supervision of national banks is to
prevent just this sort of thing-the
violation of the spirit OF the law and
bad judgment in bank management.
Either the national banking law Il
greatly at fault, or else the examiners
who made the examinations of the
First National We're extremely derelict
in their duty
