BANKS TO PAY 2 PER CENT
When Ruling Was First Made There Were Threats of Withdraw-
 Ing as Depositories.

Washington, May 14,-When the treasury department recently ruled that national banks having deposits of government money would have to pay 2 per cent interest there was much buster that the banks would de- cline to continue the accounts on such terms and the treasury could keep the money in its own vaults. The results were tabulated by Assist ant Secretary John Skelton Williams
 There are 800 government deposit banks in the United States. Out of this number only three have with drawn on account of the interest charge. At the same time other banks have applied to the treasury to be favored with government deposits. The list could be doubled if the de- partment so desired.
 ~ The net result of the new order is that $1,000,000 per year will be turned into the treasury Three banks have canceled their depository privilege and there are more than 100 applica- tions for each vacancy.

merely a preteXt for delay until arti- ficial protest can be raised in order to justify a panic.
 Some Republicans who have de- clared that they would not support the Penrose amendment, argue that hearings on a tariff-for-revenue bill would avail nothing, and that, were the bill written from a protective standpoint, they would favor hear ings.
 Senator Penrose and other Repub- lican senators planned to talk on the amendment at length, and it looked as though it might be some days be- fore a vote can be reached.
 Penrose Leads Opposition.
 Senator Penrose, leading the Re publican attack, maintains that the business men of the country had no expectation when the hearings were given by the house committee that the bill would be so drastic as it now appears. He proposes to filibuster against referring the bill to commit tee until hearings shall have been conceded.
 Sharp division of the Republican senators as a result of the Chicago conferences of the last few~days, how ever, seemed likely to be reflected in the vote when it comes Democrats believe that Senators Cummins, Bo- rah and Kenyon will refuse to follow Senator Penrose's lead in any parlia- mentary fight If this proves the case, the tariff measure will go 1t once to the finance committee for it's consid- eration and within two or three weeks will be reported to the Democratic caucus for approval.
 After that will come the long de- bate on the senate floor.
