statement admitting that this amount Of
money appears to have been paid out,
and he takes rather grim delight In an
nouncing that not only will the banks lose
the graft that has been paid out but that
they will also lose the city deposits which
they now have. His Honor declares
openly that the ordinance which permitted
money to 10 into these banks is now
proven plainly to have been passed
through bribery and corruption, and ac-
cordinR to the law ali ordinances thus

IL is safe to assume that these banks will
not give I'D their deposits without a battle,
and there is room for the contention that
bribery has not vet been proven. A trial
must prove or disproye. and an effort
will be made to hold all moneys until there
is some court action.
The air is flied with rumor about oorn-
ing arrests Of bank officials, but It can
not be said with positiyeness that this Is
true. It il known. however. that certain
