Washington Times Verson of
Stubs Interview.
How the KanSanS Were Made to
Feel at Home.
T HAT TAFT SMIL e
Used Effectively OH the Sun
flower Emissaries.
Senator Curtis Bills for Special
Pensions.

Washington, April 1S.-Recent dis
patches from Washington to Kansas
papers stated that Governor Stubs
was given a chilly reception at the
White House when here a few days
ago, and that he was snubbed by Pres
ident Taft. This is far from being true.
The fact of the matter is. and it is
generally known here, that Governor
Stubs and his party were received
most cordially by the executive and the
attorney general and given the best
possible treatment during the various
conferences over the guarantee bank
law.
The Washington Evening Times.
owned by Frank Munsey. published an
interesting tale about the Kansans'
visit to Washington and their meeting
with Taft and the attorney general
The story follows:
President Taft has just given an ex-
hibition of the possibilities of the soft
answer and the winning smile, which is
widely accounted the greatest this adj
ministration has thus far produced.
Governor "Bill' Stubs, of Kansas,
accompanied by his attorney general
and banking commissioner, came to
town to make final appeal to the
president and Attorney General Wick
ersham in behalf of the Kansas bank
provision permitting national banks, as
well as state institutions, to avail
themselves of the privilege of having
their deposits guaranteed.
The national bankers in the state al
most without exception want to avail
themselves of it, because the people
have a powerful prejudice in favor of
the guaranteed banks, and are disposed
to withdraw their cash from the ma
tionaI banks and deposit it in the state
institutions. The national banks are
being converted into state ones, or go
ing out of business in many cases.
The federal authorities looked with
dissatisfaction on the effort to extend
a states guarantee law over national
banks. and it was intfmated that ma
tionaI banks would not be allowed to
operate in this way. Governor Stubhs
and his lieutenants came to Washing
ton and had conferences with the pres
ident and attorney general, in the eff
fort to convince them that there was no
improperly in allowing NATIONAL banks
to accept the states guarantee
After further consideration, MT.
