about $4,000. He was sentenced to
term in the penitentiary, but his

BANKING SYSTEM
 IS CRITICISED
g. lot su -tu -th

Washington, September 12.-Addressing the bank supervisors of 20 states who gathered in convention here today, Law renee O. Murray, comptroller of the cur rency, declared that the results under the banking laws of this country were in a large measure unsatisfactory. The req son he did not attempt to explain though he intmated the fault might be in a weak administration of the law.
 In proposing a working cooperation plan between the national banking sys- tenn and the supervisors, the comptroller mentioned some practices which he con sidered highly objectionable. The June call for condition of national banks show ed s26OO0OOo in overdrafts he said, and there is no statute which allows his of flee to control such a condition. There are some state laws prohibiting over drafts and he urged cooperation of supervisors on that point.
 Weak banks should be forced into liqui- dation, MT Murray declared, and he said he would use every power conferred on his office to force unsteady institutions to discontinue business before they fail. He asked the state officials to urge such practice in their home territory. Bank promoters he condemned in unmistaka- comptroller's office and he promised state officials it would be available for their use in investigation of applications.
