DENIED BY CONTROLLER.
Mr.. Ridgely Asserts That Banks Do
Not Violate the Law

W. B. Ridgely. the controller of the
currency, has made public reply to the
criticism of his bureau made by John M.
Coffin. formerly deputy controller of the
currency. as published in New York
newspaper last Sunday morning MIR.
Coffin charges" says Mr. Ridgely. that
sections 500 and sos of the Revised
Statutes of the United States are daily
violated by every large national bank,
and makes the statement that stock gam
bling could be suppressed. or at least SO
per cent of it obliterated. by a strict en-
forcement of the above named sections -
Mr.. Ridgely says: mot only the charges,
but the statements made by Mr. Coffin in
the article referred to. are really made
without any knowledge of the facts and
are intentionally false and untrue. . =
The sections OF the law Mr.. Coffin COM
plains are daily violated are. as matter
of fact. strictly enforced the same as all
the rest of the law is Internationally
and as a matter of duty, without any
fuss or parade. and regardless Of the let
tiers of Mr.. Coffin or any other sensation
monger. The proposition that the Officers
of the leading banks Of New York city
are SO foolhardy as to daily violate the
law and render themselves liable to i'm
prisonment as criminals, as would be the
case If the law were so violated Is to abb
surd for serious belief"
