washington. Feb. 8.-The banking
laws of all states and territories of

and useful digest, issued TODAY under
the auspices of the National Monetary
commission as another output Of its

and financial operations and condi.

1t has not been attempted to pre-
sent anything but the substance of the
statutes, for the reason that a digest
dealing with their application or in
depreciation would involve great labor
ana NIL an amount space greater than
the commission thought proper to
give to the subject. The digest deals
with the general corporation laws
OF the states-as distinguished from
the banking laws-only where they
were peculiarly accessible or the bank
statutes left blanks which needed to
be supplied. Provisions of the state
laws dealing with circulation are
omitted as being of no practical value,
In view of the present control of cir.
culation by the national banks.
The statutes are systematized as far
as possible under tho head of each
state by division into three general
captons-banks. savings banks, and
trust companies-but in some cases
material which applies to one or more
classes is presented under one head,
Under each of the three captions the
following twelve subheads appear:

mony in the case having been conclud-
ed yesterday the session this forenoon
was given over to the presentment of
arguments. 1t was expected that the
proceedings. would be finished today.
Mrs. Cowles was the last witness
for the prosecution. She stated that
she overheard the telephone conversa.
tion with DR.. Robnett. She corrobor-
ated his statements as to DIR. Rob-
nett's language. She also explained
the elevated station incident with
Miss Hesler. saying that she invited
that young lady to dine and told her
husband that he ought to escort her
from the station to their house, as
Miss Hesler did not know the way.

ment ring,
She said she had complained to DR..
Robnett of DR.. Cowles' attentions, of
his request that he might meet her,
and also that he wanted to send her
flowers and candy.
Paymaster Auld. who followed. said
that DR.. Robnett did not know. his
(Auld's) purpose when he called Dr.
Cowles from the dance and that he
used DR.. Robnett's name without the
latter's knowledge.
Then DR.. Robnett took the stand in
his own defense. He admitted that
he asked DR.. Cowles by telephone II
he had not received a request from
Miss Hesler to return her picture. DR..
Cowles replied that he had, but that
it was none of his (Robnett's) busi-
ness whether he returned it.
He denied that he used violent Ian
guage to DR.. Cowles but admitted that
he had used the epithet DR.. Cowles
had mentioned. This was after DR..
Cowles had called him "cur." He
did not threaten DR.. Cowles and at
the dance he promised Miss Hesler
that he would lot say anything to DR..
Cowles. This closed the evidence.

LAW MUST STAND
Clear Intent of Land Law Can Not Be
Abrogated by Commissioner.

San Francisco. Feb. S.-That the
clear intent of the federal land laws
cannot be set aside by decree of the
land commissioner was the decision of
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals today in overruling the appeal
of the Northern Pacific railroad
against the revocation Of certain land
grants to that corporation in Mon
tana.
When certain claims belonging to
the railroad were included in the
Mount Rainier forest reserve other
non-mineral bearing claims to be Sc
lccted by the railroad were promised
blythe government in their place. The
railroad selected claims patented by
the land commissioner as non-min-
eral, but known to the company to be
mineral-bearing.
Suit was brought to compel the rail-
road to relinquish these claims and
the government was given judgment.
This Judgment was affirmed today.

dress Before That Body. 4

Chicago, Feb. S-The following
statement was offered the Associated
Press by Archbishop Ireland today,
People in America may easily mis-
apprehend the circumstances in Rome
which led the vatican to refuse>an au-
dience with the holy father to Charles
w. Fairbanks afte rthe former vice
president of the United States would
have made a public address before
the Methodist association of that city.
Most likely Mr.. Fairbanks himself. ddd
not fully realize the meaning which
the Romans would attribute to his ad-
dress. 1t was not question Of Fair
banks being a Methodist or going to
the Methodist church in Rome for
Sunday devotions. It was the ques.
tton of appearing to give the fullest
approval to the work of the Methodist
association in Rome.
The American Methodists in Rome
are active, and I may readily say.
pernicious proselyters. The Methos
dist association is not in Rome to
serve and meet American Methodists.
but to pervert from the Catholic faith
all those upon whom they can brin4
influence to bear.
II was in Rome last winter and
made a very particular study of this
Methodist propaganda. 1t has gone
so far that Catholics have organized
a society for the preservation of the
faith to fight it.
THE purpose of the work of the
Methodist association in Rome is con-
fessed openly. The means EMPLOYED
are by no means honorable. They
take every advantage Of the poverty
Of the poor Of Rome. The books cir
culated and displayed in the windows
Of their book stores are ISLANDERS
against the Catholic faith, the holy
pontif at Rome and mfsrepresen-
tation of the whole Catholic system.
The success Of the movement is far
from adequate to the efforts put forth
and the money expended. They do not
make permanent Methodists of Italian
Catholics. They may possibly detach
pupils from the Catholic church and
this means from all Christian things
for the Italians.
Nov, the public address by the
former vice president of the United
States before the Methodist associa-
ton can have no other meaning in the
eyes Of the Roman public than the
approval of Americans ON the propa-
ganda of the Methodist association.
II shall leave for New York to-
morrow and I shall be pleased to an
swer the Methodists heer or in the
east at any time. I cannot make it
too plain that am not attacking the
entire Methodist church, but merely
the Methodist association at Rome.
