WHAT WAS TAUGHT
BY SPEAKER CLARK
Demonstrates How Not to Be
Always an After Dinner
Orator.
WAS GUEST At A PICNIC
GIVEN BY MISSOURIANS
Gathering Of Society Members at
Great Falls-Indianians Also
Have Outing.

Speaker Clark. who was a guest yes
terday at picnic given at Great Falls
by the Missouri State Association of
Washington. took occasion to- demon
strate to the members in true SHOW me-
| fashion how not to become an after
dinner orator. In other words, the Speak
er stole march on his hosts. He ar
rived early, answered the first call to the
table and enjoyed the v1ands prepared
by Missouri women, but when speaking
time came he had disappeared so COM
pletely that delegation Of Missourians
could not locate him. The meeting
therefore adjourned without hearing
from Missouri's leading statesman.
Two state societies of the District Of
Columbia-the Missouri and Indiana
held their annual outings at Great Falls
yesterday. and while the warmth of the
early part of the afternoon not only
drew to the resort the members of these
two societies. but members of many OF
the other state societies of the District,
the heavy rainstorm late in the afternoon
chased a large number homeward.
There were no speakers at the picnic
of the Indiana State Association, the
members going out equipped with lunch
baskets. and evidently not caring
specially for oratory. They assembled
the open.
The Missouri Association had reserved
for Its use the large room under the
dancing pavilion, and there, on the long
tables packed lunch baskets became the
property of all Several of the Missouri
delegation in Congress were present as
guests OF the association. including
Speaker Clark and Representatives
Decker. Rubey. Lloyd and Dyer.
Address by Representative Decker.
%. w. Wyatt, president of the Missouri
Association. introduced Representative
Thomas l.. Rubey, first vice president of
the society, as the presiding officer for
the occasion. Mr.. Rubey in turn called
upon Representative Decker for an ad-
dress. Mr.. Decker said that after coming
to the picnic and seeing so many people
he could not believe there were many
left in Missouri. He said he had en-
joyed the eating so much that he could
not help praising the Missouri women
who prepared the dinner. He praised the
resources of Missouri, as well.
He declared he had not come to the
picnic to speak for woman suffrage or
| anything Of that sort. but he thought
| that women are not always given the
| credit for what they do.
II have often listened to my father tell
| of the early pioneer days. those days

attempt to pass upon the conduct of
President James S. Kuhn and Vice Presi-
dent W. S. Kuhn, he states, or of any
other official director of the wrecked
institution has been made by the Office
of the controller o. the currency. Nor

complete records have been received.
Action of Former Controller.
While the First National Bank Of Pitts
burgh was known to have been in an I'M
satisfactory condition. continued Mr..
Kane, 1.-The action of the former controller
in approving it's consolidation with the
Second National Bank gave color to the
presumption that its trouble had been
cleaned up. and under the circumstances
this office did not feel justified In refusing
to approve the First-Second National
Bank as reserve agent for other banks.
II was for the purpose of determining
what the true condition was that the ex-
animation of the First-Second National
Bank by Examiners Mann and Smith was
ordered by me, and the extent of the
losses and the inability of the directors
and shareholders to make them good did
not become known to me until a confer
ence was had with the examiners and d.
rectors of the bank in Pittsburgh a week
ago.

In Criminal Cases.

Examiners and receivers of national
banks are instructed whenever they find
conditions indicating criminal acts on
the part of officers or employees of bank
ing institutions, to make a special report
of such indications to the controller of
the currency. Wherever the facts dis
close conditions of ouch character as to
warrant immediate action they are re-
quired to furnish the district attorney
for the district in which the bank is
located with a copy of this report in
order that the Department of Justice
may take such action as it deems proper
under the circumstances.
I'm the event that examiners reports
do not furnish a complete case against
the suspected officer. director or en-
ploye. the Department of Justice as
signs special agent to make further
investigation and report. The Depart
ment of Justice acts upon the finding Of
such agent
1t is not within the province of the
controller to determine what prosecutions
shall be instituted. This office, of
course. acts in cooperation with the
Department of Justice in furnishing all
possible information as to such matters"

Murray Issues Statement.

Lawrence o. Murray, former controller
of the currency has issued statement
as to the situation in regard to the de-
funct First-Second National Bank of
Pittsburgh at the time of it's cOnsolida-
ton. when he was controller.
Mr.. Murray. who has been absent from
Washington during the time the troubles
of the bank closed by the Treasury De-
partment have been aired. in his state
ment declares that he gave careful con-
sideration to the merger plan of the two
banks before approving it. He says, in
part:
When l became controller Ave years
ago the First National Bank of Pitts
burgh was under criticism. The situation
was in the office when / went there-it
did not develop during my term. After
| became controller the bank was forced
to charge off one million and a quarter in
losses and just before the consolidation
the bank charged off over eight hundred
thousand more. so That during my term
more than two million losses were forced
out of the bank. That Is a tremendous
cleanup in bank of that capital and
surplus. and it was done in about two
years.

Wants Recall Tried.

The union leaders, moreover, are
perfectly welcome to try out the recall
against Governor Ammcns and Attor-
ney General Farrsr any time they wish
to start. They should not forget that
Colorado is primarily an agricultural
state and that the farmers are far
from being in sympathy with labor
strikes, especially when the union
men are apparently is the wrong.
The recall is two-edged sword. 1t
may result in the recall of the officer
against whom complaint is made, but
if it does not the result of the election
is a complete vindication of the Off
GERS. The union men should remember
this and be chary of starting recall pro-
ceedings if they do not want the en-
tire state to rise up and expose its
complete approval of the present ad-
ministration so far as the strike is con-
cerned.-Fort Collins Review.
