PROBE BANKS DEEP
Controller Blames Examiners For
Many Recent Defalcations Which
Examinations Failed to Discover.

Washington, Sept. 21.-"T say to
you emphatically that your work must
be improved. Embezzlements have
failed of discovery, defalcations and
dishonesty have been concealed from
you and in many cases you have failed
to correctly or even approximately es-
innate the value of the paper and the
securities held by the bank"
This was the declaration made to-
day by Controller of the Currency
Lawrence o. Murray in addressing the
conference of national bank examiners
representing practically all of the ter
ritory east of Ohio.
Examiners, he said. should call up
on a committee of two or three mem
bers of the board of directors to go
over the entire discounts of the bank
with the examiner, that the eXamin-
ers must be ready to accept assign
ment anywhere in the United States,
and that if you are unable to dis
cover the true condition of a bank,
do not send excuses, simply send in
your resignation and your commission
for cancellation"

E. O. CONFERENCE
May Continue Until Middle Of the
Week-Little Progress Made in
Appointments.

East Liverpool, Sept 21.-Indica-
tions are that the annual meeting of
the East Ohio conference will not be
brought to a close before Tuesday and
it is even predicted that adjournment
may not take place until Wednesday.
Such has been the press of busi-
ness and such sweeping changes in
assignments are to be made that
Bishop Cranston and his cabinet have
been able to make but little progress
up to this time. In fact it is said only
a few of the more important charges
have been cared for to date. How
ever, today is witnessing much activ.
ity and it may be that the all-absorb-
ing question of appointments may be
settled earlier than Is anticipated at
this time.
The districts will be reduced from
eight to seven.

treme cruelty. The plaintiff says that

that four children were born to them.

and faithful wife and that the defend
ant has disregarded his marital du-
ties and has been extremely cruel and
has failed to provide his family with
the necessaries of life. The plaintiff
prays for a divorce from the defendant
and that she be decreed reasonable
alimony and the custody of the minor
children. She also asks the court
that the defendant, the American
Sheet Steel company, be enjoined from
paying the defendant, Jesse e. Critics

AGAINST
Further Anti-Liquor legislation Is
Cleveland Republican Legislative
Experimentation at
Head of Movement.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 21.-By the
unanimous vote of every member of
the Republican legislative delegation,
that body, in secret caucus with
Congressman Burton has declared
against the passage of any more anti
liquor legislation.
In other words, If elected the Re-
publican candidates for the state SEN
ate and the house of representatives
have decided that they will oppose
any legislation in the interest of the
Anti-Saloon League or legislation that
will tend to further present local op-
ton laws or establish prohibition in
the state Of Ohio.
The action of the delegation was
taken when Congressman Burton was
present, and is said to have been the
result of demand by the brewing
interests and allies that the members
Of the delegation be placed on rec
ord as to their attitude on the liquor
question.
The Republican leaders have made
every effort to keep this action of the
delegation secret. Word was sent to
representatives of the breweries and
the Personal Liberty eLague, and in
this way the news became public. 1t
created a sensation in political circles,
and developments are expected that
will make the liquor question of even
more prominence because of the ac-
ton Of the Republican caucus.

cruel and abusive treatment compelled
him every summer for the past three
