Anti-Saloon League Meets at First
Presbyterian Church and
Hears Report.

REV. A. W. Spooner scored the House
District Committee at a meeting Of the
Anti-SaloOn League at First Presbyterian
Church last night for its dilatory conduct
of District affairs. He offered resolution
of censure upon the action of this COM
mittee, from which, he said, it was i'm
possible to get consideration of legislative
measures of urgent necessity to this city.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on legislation.
A L. Shoemaker. attorney for the
league. made a comprehensive report upon
what has been accomplished during the
past year. He complained that much
more could be done, were it not for the
fact that II is almost impossible to get
conviction OF saIoonkeepers for violating
the laws in Police Court. OF this diff
Guilty he gave several examples. He also
mentioned the difficulty of enforcing the
law prohibiting the sale of intONicants TO
minors, and told a story, in illustration,
of a friend who, to determine whether his
sixteen-year-old son could buy drinks or
not, offered the boy s. for every glass Of
beer he could purchase at the city, bars.
The boy won SO and had fifteen drinks in
fifteen saloons.

MURRAY TO STAND
Comptroller of Currency to Be Wit
ness in Investigation of
Money Trust.

FURTHER details of the business OF ]. P.

and a portrayal given of how the al
legged Money Trust forced to the wall
men WHO owned industrial and other
corporations, such IS railroads and
steamship lines, when the House Money
Trust investigators return to their task
after the holidays.
Counsel Untermyer, for the commit
tee, is pleased with the result of his
examination of J. p. Morgan, and, while
the committee declines to give an ad-
vance list of witnesses it will call, il Is
known that Morgan was but the first
of the great financial figures that will
be called to testify.
Cntermyer plans to put Lawrence o.
Murray, Comptroller OF the Currency, on
the stand early in January. Untermyer
wants to know just how far the present
Federal supervision OF national banks
extends particularly in the matter OF
the knowledge of bank examiners as to
the collateral these banks carry for
loans.
It is said to be common knowledge in
Wall Street that not single bank has
an accurate record Of the securities II
has had in its vaults from time to time
as the security OF loans.
actually under subpoena by the commit
tee, although II is understood many
more are to be called. The only idea
obtainable as to how many more wit
nesses will be called was the statement
81 consulting counsel that the hearings
would last until February l.
It was learned yesterday that the COM
mittee has not yet located William Rock
efeller. whom il wants as a witness.
H P. Dawson, OF the banking house of
J. p. Morgan & Co., will be one Of the
first witnesses to be called in January.
Other witnesses who may be called are
former Senator William A. Clark, F. Au-
gustus Heinze, who may tell of the Anal
gamated Copper deal; Arthur Z. Stillwell
who built the Kansas City Southern and
had 1t taken away from him; James A.
Moore, OF Seattle. President of the West
ern Steel Corporation, who incurred the
hostility of Wall Street interests; Ber-
nard n. Baker, who fought the Shipping
Trust, and possibly Charles w. Morse.
It is said that Untermyer will pay es-
pecial attention to the Tennessee Coal and
Iron deal. whereby the Steel Trust is al
legged to have absorbed its principal COM
petitor in the South.
