In his letter to Representative Pujo

he said:
ut Is 4 notorious fact, readily capable
OF proof. that many of our great fnan-
cial Institutions are dominated and in
effect controlled by men who are neither
officers nor directors. but who are d.
rectly and Indirectly using the facilities
OF the institutions for themselves or for
the enterprise In which they are inter-
ested."
Mr.. Untermyer says the responsibility
for the Investigation rests with the FL
nance Committee Of the Senate, before
whom the bill to enhance the power of
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency is pending. A meeting was held
in Washington to-day to decide as TO
whether the New York Investigation will
be held In this city or at the Capital.

COUNSEL ADVISES DELAY UNTIL
BILL IS PASSED.

In his letter to Representative Pujo
Mr.. Untermyer said he believed II un-
wise TO begin taking testimony until the
passage OF bill pending before a Sem
ate committee, empowering the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency 10 look
over the books of the banks. Otherwise
Mr.. Untermyer said tho committee
would be almost powerless TO conduct
an Investigation worth while. He said
the Institutions to be probed would hide
behind the fact that the committee is
without the necessary power to compel
the giving OF information.
doubt as to the power OF the COM
mittee Is as fatal as want OF power"
said Mr.. Untermyer. because behind
this doubt all interests that desire Il
selves. and before tbs shelter could be
torn away the life Of the committed
would expire"
Discussing the power OF clearing
house associations. which he said /,
usually vested IN a small group OF men
Mr.. Untermyer said:
