cutter and pays his taxes promptly
and willingly, makes a good sugges
ton, as follows: That the street

A LEGISLATIVE
INVESTIGATION
RESOLUTION INTRODUCED IN
NEW YORK ASSEMBLY TO
PROBE THE OFFICE OF
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
II Is Said that Certain New York City
Bankers Are Responsible for the
Proposed nvestigation-The
Attorney General Talks.

Albany, n. Y, March 19.--In the leg.
islature Wednesday Senator Martin
SAKE of New York introduced con.
current resolution providing for a leg
islatiye investigation of the conduct
OF the Office of the attorney general
of the state during the administration
of the present incumbent, William
Schuyler Jackson of Buffalo, especial.
ly with reference to receiyerships of
banks and trust companies. Mr. Jack
son was elected on the Democratic-In-
dependence League ticket In Novem-
Der, 1906, and has been in Office since
January /, 1907. The general impress
sion about the capitol Wednesday
night was that the resolution will be
adopted and the investigation will be
instituted
The essential paragraph of the reso-
luton recites that during the recent
panic a large number of financial in
stitutlons in New York City were com
PEELED TO suspend, and that II has
since been widely charged that the
Office OF the attorney general has been
used by Mr.. Jackson and his subor.

ohAllAlOu VI aOlhflL Dduho anu TRUST
companies that he has procured the
appointment of political favorites as
receivers Of such institutions; and
that by Corr ipt practices in the at
torney generals Office the present
financial depression and distress have
been prolonged"
Senator SAKE said that he intro
duced he resolution at the instance Of
certain bankers in New York City
whose names he might give later; but
that 1t represented his own views.
New York, March l9.--Attorney
General Jackson said Wednesday
night that he would welcome an in
vestigation Of his office conducted in
an impartial manner, without personal
feeling or any consideration OF poll
tics.
The attorney general said further:
mot one bank closed which did not
do so of its own accord. Where
thought the banks were able to open
have assisted them. Every act of
mine has been directly or primarily in
the interests of the depositors and di-
rected toward preventing the looting
OF the institutions. That can be cas-
lily demonstrated by legislative in
quiry."
