WANTS CLOSE EXAMINATION
SAYS DIRECTORS SHOULD Be
PRESENT WHEN ASSETS
ARE REVIEWED.
MONEY MUST Be SAFEGUARDED
INSPECTORS SHOULD SEE THAT
FUNDS ARE SAFELY
PLACED.

New York, Sept. 21,-A ruling Of
great interest to country banks was
laid down today by Lawrence o. Muir
ray, comptroller of the currency. in
an address delivered here to gather.
ing Of national bank examiners. On
and after October /, he said, he desir-
ed that at the examination of all coun-
try bankks the board Of directors shall
be convened and the examination OF
assets made in their presence.
The comptroller cautioned the ex.
aminers to inquire into very careful
ly any undue concentration of the
loans Of a bank in companies controil-
ed by the banks officers or direc-
tors"
7 speak now" he continued, "of
any bank. where such concentration
would ruin the bank if the loans are
bad. Whenever you come across a
case where the directors or officers
are unduly concentrating the funds Of
a bank in corporations controlled by
themselves and where you have no in
formation on which to base an opH lscn
as to whether the loans are good or
bad, It seems to me you are clearly
to do one Of three things:
TFirst-That the books Of the cor
porations be voluntarily opened to
you, or second That the directors
give you full statement in detail OF
the business of the concerns, or third,
That copy be given you of a re-
port on the company or corporation
made by an Independent auditor"
Mr.. Murray complimented the exam
iners for their work, but added I'VE
must improve it materially.
He said he considered the country
examiner often overworked and under
paid, but nevertheless he insisted
that the time given to examining
country banks be materially length
ened."

TALKS FOR PRESIDENT TAFT
URGES PEOPLE or OHIO 10 CAST
THEIR VOTES FOR RE-
ELECTION.
SAYS IT is IMPORTANT
THAT THE COUNTRY SHOULD
CONTINUE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IN POWER.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 21.-Senatoi
Henry Cabot Lodge opened the repuD
lican campaign in Ohio today with an
unqualified defense Of the administra
tion and a plea for the reelection Of
President Taft.
4 come to urge you to do every
thing in your power in this, his own
state, for the reelection OF President
Taft" he said. Il believe that the cleo
tion of the republican candidates,
from the highest to the lowest, was
never more important than at tl.e
present time.
Throughout the pre-convention can
vass Senator Lodge had held aloof
from factional quarrels because of his
peculiarly intimate relations, person
al and official, with Colonel Roosevelt
and his friendly relations with the
Taft administration. Todays speech
was his formal utteranoe on national
issues as newly defined at Chicago
and Baltimore.
Senator Lodge said the democratic
party had abandoned the fundamental
principles which it once supported
and said its platform looked on its
face like perfectly vague and inco-
herent aggregation of sentences, a
mass Of language intended to get
votes"
The return to power Of that party
was pictured as the forerunner of
commercial disaster. provided its pres
ent attitude on the tariff was main
tained. Senator Lodge did not men
ton the progressive party or Colonel
Roosevelt by name, but by implication
he opposed the policy of the recall of
judges and devoted third Of his time
to what he said was proposal to
tear down the constitution of the
United States. "To convert it into a
statute changeable by the whim of the
moment"

Washington, Sept, 21.-4Early dis
patches to the state department to
day contained no news of Adimarl
Switzerland and his marines, believed
to have fought battle with revolu-
tionists who sought to delay their
march to Granada. Officials we're
puzzled by the difficulty Of communi-
cation.
No uneasiness was felt for the safe
ty Of the United States force Off
cials said the force was more than
equipped to deal with any rebel force
it might meet. The lack Of news was
explained partly by the fact that Ad.
niiraI Switzerland must be many miles
from Managua, his base, with no
means Of sending messages except b
courier
The relief OF Granada, with its for
eign inhabitants, officials say. was i'm
perative II other foreign governments
we're not to take part in protecting
their subjects. Definite adyices from
Admiral southerland were anxiousIy
awaited.
A delayed telegram from American
Minister Weitzel received today con
firms reports Of the Nicaraguan revo-
lutionists again using lake steamers
and bombarding San Jorge and other
towns on Lake Nicaragua in the neigh
borhood Of Riyas An attack on Rivas
from the north by zeledon's column
has been completely repulsed by the
federals with considerable losses to
both sides.
1t was believed today that for addi-
tional force Rear Admiral Scuther-
land had been obliged to go as far
north as Leon, where there is'a garri-
son Of bluejackets and marines. It is
thought he may have found necessary
more artillery than the two threeinch
guns which he had with him. The
only recourse would be to dismount
some Of the smaller caliber guns on
the gunboat Annapolis at Corinto.
Officials Of the state department are
confident Admiral Switzerland will
get to Granada, and that he will seize
some Of the lake steamers and send
his dispatches out by way Of Rivas
and thence by short overland trips to
San Juan del Sur the cable station.
