President Taft at Beverly.
That President Taft would review the
case developed suddenly today as Secretary
MacVeaEh was ready TO make public the
attorney generals findings and his own
decision For that reason he declined 70
give any intimation of his position. but II

the next session Of congress with the none
tRry commissions report.
Mr. wickersham's findings deal directly
only with the reported holdings by the
National City bank of other bank stock
through the medium OF the National City
company. The question OF the interest Of
national banks in trust companies arose
as a consequence Of three findings, and
attention was directed TO the case OF tn.
holdings Of the ContinsntRl-C Commercial
National bank Of Chicago, in the Cont
mental and Commercial Trust company.
Attorney General wickershsm takes the
position that Capitalization OF banking
companies might take place II national
hanks were allowed TO acquire the stocks
Of other banking institutions. The TreHs-
ury department for about ten years has
been tacitly approving such relationships
with certain limitations, IN order that the
national institutions might meet the com
petition OF state banks which usually
operate under very liberal provisions. Aside
