CONTROLLER HAS
POWER TO EXAMINE
Supreme Court Upholds Power of
Currency Official Over Ma
tional Banks.

washington, Dec. 6.-The SUI
preme court of the United STATES to-
day decided controller of the cur
yency is the agent of the government
with power to examine into affairs of
national banks. John A. Corbett,
cashier of the First National bank of
Ladysmith, Wis. and others connect
ed with the bank were indicted on
the charge of making false entry in
the report to the controller. The
United States district court for the
western district of Wisconsin dis
missed the complaint on the ground
the controller was not an examiner
as contemplated by the statute. The
supreme court today failed to sus-
tain that view.
