Mr.. Scherer then went on to say
that he was perfectly willing to &C
to jail in his efforts to operate the
State prison according to his best
judgment. He continued by saying
that matters had now reached very
acute stage between the board of the
prison and DR.. Charles V. Darlington
and he was of opinion that the boaro
would submit to no further dictation
on the part of outsiders, by which
remark he appeared to imply DR..
Darlington.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. THE
doors to the State penitentiary were
gently but firmly closed in the face
of Dr. Charles V. Darlington this
morning by Superintendent James B.
Wood, of the prison. DR.. CARING
ton, who was reinstated Tuesday,
notified the chairman of the board of
directors of the penitentiary in writ
ing yesterday that he, as reinstated
surgeon of the institution would be-
sin again his active duties today.
Major Wood said to DR.. CARING

directors to refuse admittance to

Major Wood would not permit DR..
Darlington to pass the gate.
DR.. Carringotn would not be in

This action on the part of the
prison officials is thought by some
to be a fling in the face of Judge R.
Carter Scott, of the city circuit court
who two days ago, by peremptory
mandamus. reinstated DR.. CARING
ton in Office. Disregarding this ac-
tion by the court the board of direc-
tors of the prison today ordered
their superintendent to refuse ad-
mittance to the reinstated surgeon.

circuit court, and members of the

JURY OF FARMERS

Government Attorneys Show
Preference for Ruralites

CHICAGO, Dec. IA farmer
jury probably will decide the fate
of the ten millionaire Chicago pack
ers brought to trial after eight years
of delay. It was apparent today that
the Government intended to chal-
lenge veniremen from Chicago and
special Attorney Sheean indicated a
pronounced preference for agricul-
turists.
The defense has had no opportuni-
ty to show its preferences. When
court reconvened today there were
eleven tentative jurors in the box
all subject to peremptory challenge
by the Government and not yet ques-
toned by the defense.
A wide difference Of opinion as
to the Sherman law was developed
among veniremen today. Several de-
clard their opposition to any form
of governmental regulation for busi-
ness, and others were violently
against the Sherman law.
There was no abatement today in
the crowd before Judge Carpenters s
court room, and the same precau-
tions against newspaper photogra-
piers were exercised.

new RECORDS MADE
BY NATIONAL BANKS
Assets, Deposits And Resources
Show Big Improvement
REFLECT PROSPERITY
OF UNITED STATES
Comptroller Says Legislation is
Needed to Curb Dishonest
Bank Officials

WASHINGTON. b. c., Dec. T.
New records for prosperity were
made in the fiscal year ending Oc-
tober 81, 1911, according to the an
nual report of the Government
Comptroller of the Currency, submit
ted to Congress today by Lawrence
| O.. Murray. The document, while
made up almost exclusively of figures
| is interesting from the standpoint
of showing the growing prosperity OF
the United States and the augmenta-
ton of wealth at a rate of no less
than sensational.
The year was a banner one for
the banks. On June last, accord
ing to the report, the total of bank
| assets in this country aggregated
| $1O,3S3, ,048,694, the highest figure
ever recorded since the beginning
of the national bank system in this
country.
On September 1, 1911, individual
deposits reached oil,
the highest ever attained in the his
tory of the banking system. Upon
the same date the bank note cur
roncy outstanding was $696,928,033,
another new record. This was near
! the metallic and other currency of
the country.
The report states that the bonded
debt of the United States Govern
ment on October 81, 1911, was
$963,349, $50. Accompanying the
report are number of recommends
tions from the national banking
laws.
One of these demands an amend
| ment to make it criminal act for
any officer of a national bank to ac-
cept gift of any value from one
who contemplates making loan.
Mr.. Murray calls "the dishonest
practice Of national bank officers OF
| receiving personal compensation a
growing evil" and declares that it
has reached proportions where legis-
lation is necessary. He also demands
that the statute of limitations be
extended ten years SO that it shall
be easier to punish bank attaches
whose crimes go undetected for a
number of years.
The resources of the 1901 nation
| al banks in the United States on Sep
tember 1, 1911, were $10,379,499,-

RYAN AND GOMPERS AT
OUTS IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, Dec. There. is
serious split in the ways and means
committee of labor leaders in change
Of the fund raised by union labor
for the defense of the McNamara
brothers.
Frank M. Ryan, president of the
international Association of Bridge
md Structural Iron Workers, has
clashed with Samuel Gompers and
he followers of the president of the
American Federation of Labor and
he man who is head of the organiza-
ion that claimed John J. Mcnamara
is its secretary-treasuyre is on a
rain on his way to his headquarters
in Indianapolis. Ryan, in an angry
frame of mind, left Washington
shortly before noon today and enl-
ohatically refused to make any state
ment as to why he was leaving be-
fore this afternoons session of the
ways and means committee. HE9
The committee without Ryan.
went into executive session at 70
o'clock this afternoon. Gompers,
Morrison, and the other leaders re-
fused to make any statement as to
why Ryan had left the city.
1t is understood that there was
a coldness about the Federation hear
quarters when Ryan and Gompers
met this morning. The other labor
leaders appeared to be standing with
the head of the Federation. and the
report is that a personal clash be-
tween Ryan and Gompers was barely
avoided. EH
/ The two, it is said, refused to
agree upon plan for the DISPOSE
tion of the fund, and that President
Gompers and several of the other
leaders attempted to .upbraid Ryan
for some feature of hfs conduct. In
this attempt the head of the iron
workers met the opposition half way,
and the end came when Ryan, in
anger, left the Federation headquar-
ters and later made his way to the
Union Station.

GARY TO DEFENSE
OF STEEL DINNERS
Congress Ought To Sanction
These Trade Meetings He Says

WASHINGTON, Dec. Judge E.
H. Gary, chairman of the executive
committee of the United States Steel
Corporation. rallied to the defense
of the so-called Gary dinners before
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee today. Judge Gary saw
nothing unlawful in these dinners,
which the Department of Justice has
reflected ON in it's brief in the suit
against the Steel corporation.
He went further and declared that
if there was anything unlawful about
them then Congress ought to make
them unlawful.
Judge Gary appeared before the
committee today for the purpose of
giving members of the committee a
chance to cross-examine him with re-
spect to matters he has already dis
cussed. At these dinners, the state
of trade was discussed and some con-
isder them in the nature of unlawful
trade agreements.
II do not believe these meetings
are unlawful under the Sherman
law" said Judge Gary.
Judge Gary was asked if the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation made
wire cheaper than the American
Steel Wire Company made it.
II believe it does" said Judge
Gary.
