DIRECTORS DENY
MORSE'S CHARGES
CLAIM THEY NEVER AUTHORIZED
HoNoRlNG OF ovERDRAFTs
BY BANKS OFFICIAL.
DAYS SESSION SENSATIONAL
Counsel for Morse and Curtis Differed
Sharply During Proceeding
In Regard to Banks
Affairs.

New York, Oct T.-After the ad'
mission of testimony by John w
Gates, ex-Judge Morgan oBrien,
Charles NJ. Schwab, John II. FlagleI
and William F. Havemeyer to the eff
feet that as directors of the National
Bank of North America they had never
authorized the honoring of overdrafts
by Charles w. Morse, the vice presi
dent of the bank, and had never know
of the existence of such practice, the
prosecution late Monday rested Its
case in the United States court here
against the former banker and pro.
moter and his fellow-defendant, A. II.
Curtis, who are being tried for alleged
violation of the national banking laws.
The days session furnished a mum,
Der of sensations, not the least OF
which being the declaration by w. w.
Lee, a former vice president of the
bank, that on the day of the institu,
TONS collapse, Curtis, the president
had said to him: 81 have just told
Morse that he has busted the bank"
Mr.. Lee was questioned at length con.
corning the happenings behind the
closed doors of the bank during the
evening hours of October 16, 1907, the
day of the collapse. After the ac.
counts OF the days transactions had
been closed, IL was discovered, Mr..
Lee testified, that Mr.. Morse had over.
drawn his account $211 900. In order
TO make good this deficiency, Morse
had turned into the bank quantity of
securities, for the most part stocks
and bonds not listed on the stock ex.
;hange and of doubtful value, as col.
lateral for loan of S211,000. This
loan the directors repudiated on the
following day, the collateral put up by
Morse being found unsatisfactory.
Testimony intended to show the
dominating influence exercised over
the National Bank of North America
by Morse was given by w. A. Nash,
president of the Corn Exchange bank
and q member of the clearing house
committee. Mr.. Nash, 1t appears, in
formed Curtis Of the intention Of the
clearing house committee to examine
the Bank of North America. II took
MI. Curtis aside" testified Mr.. Nash,
anu aohSu hilh II lhC bdiih was dfi
right. He waved his hand towards
Morse and replied: If he is all right,
the bank is all right"
II was noticed during the proceed
ings Monday that counsel for Morse
and counsel for Curtis differed sharply
at times regarding their respective
principals part in the affairs of the
bank
Mr.. Wire told Mr.. olcott that neither
Mr.. Curtis nor Mr.. Morse had ever
instructed him to make improper OF
wrong entries in the comptroller's re-
ports. Mr.. Wire said he knew the
loans to Dawson Brown of $135,000
was really an obligation of Mrs. Kath-
crime Gelshenen and that she used the
proceeds to deal in ice stocks and got
the profits thereon.
II came out that other loans were
made by the bank for speculation in
Ice stock, and that while profits were
credited to the borrowers some OF the
losses were charged against the bank.

.CASTRO'S APPOINTED
TO fight SUCCESSOR
CONSUL GENERAL TO GOTHAM
FACES TROUBLE
Friends of VenezueIa's Former Presi-
dent Remain in Office-Next
Move in South American
Republic Unknown

NEW YORK, April 7.-Senor Jacinto
Lopez, the newly appointed Venezuelan
consul general to this city, was among
the arrivals last night on the Red d
liner Philadelphia from Venezuela and
Porto Rico.
Is accompanied by his wife and three
children.
1t is predicted the new consul general
may have trouble before he assumes his
duties, for it is understood Febres Pr
con, the appointee of former President
Castro, will insist on carrying out ev-
cry legal detail before he relinquishes
the consulate. This will include the
obtaining of Senior Lopez exequatur
from Washington.
AS Venezuela now has no diplomatic
representation at Washington to attend
to this, it may be some time before the
rev consul will be formally installed i'll
office.
P. E. Rogas, the new Venezuelan
minister to this country, will not arrive
for two weeks, and in the meantime
Senior Lopez will have to wait.
A passenger on the Philadelphia who
has just returned from Venezuela,
speaking of conditions there. said:
Nobody knows what is going to hap
pen in Venezuela. The friends of Cas-
tro remain in Office, and his chief enc
mics who were invited back to Cara
cas- by Gomez are still without office
Gomez seems to be afraid to make any
decided move against the Castro peo-
ple'
Senior Lopez is inclined to think Cas-
tro will land in prison if he attempts to
come ashore anywhere in the vicinity
Of Venezuela. He thinks that he will
be forced OF debark at La Guaira from
the steamer Guadalupe and that he will
be promptly seized.
He added that the government would
merely imprison and not shoot him.
