CASE OF F. L. CARD0ZO
HEARING TO BE RESUMED NEXT
MONDAY AFTERNOON.

In connection with the hearing of the Pc
tition of Francis L. Cardozo for writ of
mandamus to compel the board of educa-
ton to restore him to a supervising prin-
cpalship of the public schools, after The
Stars report closed yesterday, Auditor
Garrison of the District government was
called upon to explain how the employees of
the school system are paid. Mr.. Garrison
said the Officers were paid in twelfths
and the teachers in tenths.
The witness stated, in response to a ques-
ton by Mr.. Davis, that such construction
of the law was made by the controller of
the treasury.
Mrs Ellen Spencer Mussey, a member of
the board, was asked to the questions
put to Mr.. CardoZo and in regard to the
two recommendations submitted by Super
intendent Chancellor. Her testimony was
practically the same as that of Prof Ever
mann. Mr.. w. V. Cox testified to the same
effect.
None Of the members of the board of
education was able to state that Mr. Car
dozo and Mr.. Davis were absent from the
meeting when the vote was taken on the
dismissal but none would state, on the
other hand, that they were present. All
were certain that neither Mr. Cardozo nor
Mr.. Davis was asked to withdraw.
Left Of His Own Accord.
Mr.. Davis interjected the remark that he
asked permission to go, and left of his own
accord.
Secretary Common Of the board was asked
by Mr.. Mcnamara to read from the min
utes of the board. The court sustained an
objection of Mr.. Davis that Mr. Conner
had not taken the minutes, they having
been taken by Mr.. Domaine, acting secre-
tary, October II. The minutes of the meet
ing were not read.
Il would dare the other side to produce
Mr.. Domaine. He would have something
interesting to say Mr.. Davis remarked.
Mr.. Cobb was called to the stand again
gomery on the second recommendation
produced in court was not on the original
paper when he made copy of it after the
meeting of October II, and that Dr. Mont
gomery was not present at that meeting.
The court adjourned until next Monday
afternoon at / o'clock.

UNDER ONE CONTROL
BILL INCREASING POWER OF
CONTROLLER OF CURRENCY.
All Banking Institutions in District to
Be Brought Under His
Jurisdiction.

The second step in Commissioner Mac
farland's program for bringing all bust
ness concerns having financial dealings with
the public of Washington under govern
mental supervision was taken this morning,
when the Commissioners sent to Congress
the draft Of bill the provisions of which
will extend and enlarge the savings banks
supervision bill recommended by the Com
missiOners and enacted by Congress at the
last session so as to increase the powers
Of the controller of the currency and bring
all savings banks in the District under his
control. The next step to be taken by the
Commissioners in this line will be the
Recommendation of a bill to bring the
building and loan associations under the
same supervision. Mr. mcfarland has had
several conferences with the controller of
the currency as to the latter measure, and
a bill will shortly be drafted to cover the
matter.
In explaining the former bill relating to
savings banks to Chairman Babcock of the
District committee of the House the Com
missioners said: AT the present time the
only concerns doing banking business in
the District which are under government
supervision are the national banks, the
four trust companies and the savings banks,
which are all under the direct control Of
the controller Of the currency.
Supervision Limited.
''As to the savings banks, his supervision
Ia limited by the terms of the act passed
by Congress at the last session, placing
them under his supervision, and his powers
with respect to them should be enlarged.
Moreover, in the judgment of the Commits
doners all other banking institutions receiv-
ing deposits and doing business with the
public should be brought under his super
vision. In the execution Of the act passed
upon the recommendation Of the Commits
sioners at the last session of Congress, to
bring the savings banks under the supervis-
ion Of the controller Of the currency, that
officer has examined savings banks doing
business in the District Of Columbia, and In
consequence of that examination two of
the banks were closed by his order. and
have been dealt with in such a manner that
the depositors will be saved from the loss
of their savings which would otherwise
have been suffered. This Is a practical
Illustration of the great value of such super
vision, and furnished the best argument for
enlarging and extending the law.
Should Be Incorporated.
I'm the Judgment of the Commissioners,
every concern doing a banking business in
the District of Columbia should be incor-
porated under our laws and should be
under the supervision Of the controller of
| the currency, In order that 1t may be kept
| within legitimate lines of business and the
| interest of the depositors and the general
public may be safeguarded. The Commits
| sioners have the support Of the community

VISIT THE PRESIDENT
DELEGATES TO THE RIVERS AND
HARBoRs CONGRESS.
Matter Of Transportation Facilities
Views Of the Executive
At the Capitol.

Following the close of The Stars report
yesterday of the rivers and harbors> con-
gress and during the reception to the con-
gress at the White House. President Roose-
welt told the delegates that he would con-
suit with the leaders in Congress, and ex-
pressed the hope that something definite
and effective could be done in the way of
increased appropriations for the improve
ment of the nations waterways. Albert
Bettinger of Cincinnati, the spokesman for
the convention, advanced the proposition
that the natural waterways made efficient
by the aid of the government would not
only supply the deficiency Of transporta-
ton facilities, present and prospective, but
would so equitably and naturally regulate
freight charges as to be most conducive
to continued prosperity. He told the Pres
ident that the convention suggested irregular
annual appropriation of not less than $780,
100000 to replace the hitherto desnltory
and inadequate appropriation for the i'm
provement of the waterways and to place
their prosecution on a business basis, in
surfing their completion within reasonable
length of time.
1T is a very real pleasure to greet so
distinguished body Of men. who have
come to this great city. the capital Of the
nation. in connection with measure of the
utmost consequence to the nation as a
WHOLE" the President replied Il have
portance of establishing far-reaching
coherent plan for the general improvement
OF the waterways of the country. l was
first led to consideration of that plan by
considering another plan for the use OF
water not in connection with waterways
but in connection with preparing the land
at the head of the river lower downfall Is,
in connection with the irrigation policy, in
which 1 SO strongly believe as vital to the
welfare Of the Rocky mountains and ad-
jacent states.
Utilization Of Water.
Just as 1 feel that the national govern
ment should concern itself with utilization
of the water of rivers in the sources where
the country is dry. SO I feel the national
government should concern itself with the
proper control and utilization of the water
lower down in the rivers where they are
fitted to be the great arteries of communi-
cation. 1 have had it brought strikingly
to my attention but recently how much We
suffer at present because of the inadequate
transportation facilities of the railways for
moving the great grain crops and cotton
crop of this country. We need and must
have further facilities for transportation,
and, as has been well pointed out, one of
the effective methods of affecting railway
rates is to provide for a proper system of
water TRANSPORTATION.
ut would not be possible for me to enter
into any discussion of the details of your
plan until l have spoken with some
of the leaders of the two houses of Con-
gress. shall consult with them At once
