MUNSEY'S TACTICS
ALARM OFFICIALS
Continued from first page.

Trust Company until the previous day
although il is known that his fellow
director. r. Lancaster Williams, the
brother Of Assistant Secretary John
Shelton Williams, had been negotiating
for the requirement Of the United
States Trust Company for several days.
Mr.. Munsey outlines his two proposi-
lions made to the directors of the
United States Trust Company that
night. One was that he would take
over the deposits Of the United states
Trust Company, guarantee its deposi-
tors against loss, and would pay them
: per cent for the deposits-that is, all
the deposits which still remained with
him at the end OF six months, provid-
ing the directors of the United States
Trust Company, individually and col
lectively, would guarantee him against
loss. He explains that the per cent
so offered for the deposits might have
amounted to 100000 or 100000, ac-
cording 10 the amount he retained in
his trust company at the end Of six
months, and adds, apropos Of the assets
of the United States Trust Company:

1884 Troops on Border,

The Secretary discusses the Mexican
border patrol, saying, in part:
AT the date Of the last annual report
there were on duty in connection with
the patrol Of the Mexican border approx
mately 6,754 officers and enlisted men. Inc
present strength is about the same. but
largely composed of different organiza-
tons.
There were 9,ls9 vacancies in the en-
listed strength of the regular army at the
end of the last fiscal year, when its actuai
strength was 799S6-4.665 officers and lo,Sl
enlisted men. The assertions numbered
4,45l. which was A15 per cent of the whole
number Of enlistments.
Secretary Garrison declares that the
demand for the independence Of Porto
Rico represents the idea OF but few
people. and it is idle to consider or
discuss any future for the people or
Porto Rico as separated from the
United States.
In view of other urgent necessities
the Secretary says he will not ask for
any large appropriation for the army
aviation service. The equipment now
consists of fifteen aeroplanes. Six more
will be added in short time. The
army has no dirigibles Of any kind.

Reserve System Important.

"The national Importance Of reserve

be questioned. The minimum strength at
which militia organizations are main

sary a great and immediate increase in a
national emergency, and this fact de-
mands the presence OF system Of re-

secured for this increase.
Proper organization, as required by the
law, is absolutely necessary IL the organ

pendable military federal asset in time of

Bankers Ask Questions.

These statements OF Mr.. Munsey
raise in the minds of the bankers two
questions: First, was Mr. Munsey. as
president of the Munsey Trust Com
pany, prepared to pay out the funds Of
that company to an amount varying
from $500, 900 to $500, 900 for assets IF
which he had no personal knowledge?
and, second, How can Mr.. Munsey laud
himself as so generous 'the Santa
Claus Of Washington" when he was Of
fering the stockholders Of the United
States Trust Company for their stock
price which, had the deposits which
remained with him 1t the end Of six
months amounted TO only $2O0.00O
would have been only $40 &c a share,
and this despite the fact that the bank
examiner had, after thorough examina-
ton, expressed the opinion that, with
slow liquidation, the assets Of the
United States Trust Company would
| pay all depositors and then afford a
return 10 the holder of SO a share?
AS one banker put It tonight, Mr..
Munsey seeks to create the impression
that he knew nothing of the negotia-
| tions Of his fellow director, r. Lancas-
ter Williams, to acquire for the Mum
sew Trust Company the 100000 de-
posts of the United States Trust Com
pany until he came 10 Washington on
Friday night. and that then, impelled
solely by the heartrendng spectacle Of
depositors standing in line. two hours
after banking hours, in an effort to
secure their savings. he was impelled
10 make an offer of 5000 or $500, 900
OF the funds of his trust company for
deposits and securities, Of the value
Of which he knew absolutely nothing.
and the banker added:
IT would earnestly recommend to Mr..
Munsey a rereading Of his own plati-
tude:
THE man who writes a partial
tended omissions. reads lie, is at
heart a liar. though the exact words
he pens be true. There can be no
doubt about this. and it applies as
well and with equal force to the news
paper which publishes It,
Attention is also called TO the fact,
as related in The Tribune, that Samuel
II. Ham. formerly bank examiner, who
in his official capacity had examined
the affairs Of the United States Trust
Company. had been brought here by
the Munsey people to advise them Of
the value of the assets of the United
States Trust Company.
Munsey's Second Offer.
Mr.. Munsey's second offer was that
he, without guarantee by the de-
positors, would take over the deposits
of the United States Trust Company,

Situation Still CIouded.

Taken as a whole the Munsey state
ment. while obviously intended to es-
tablish his immunity from the Jaw
penalizing the illegal acceptance Of
government deposits, is regarded by
bankers as having served in no way to
clear up the situation, although they
think it has perhaps served to make
somewhat clearer the responsibility Of

transaction which Mr.. Munsey says
has caused so much comment and dis
cussion here in Washington and 20

of Saskatchewan, and it was no time
at all until the messages the sister in
Brussels was writing to her brothers
from her girl chums had developed
into a correspondence between the
ranchers and the Brussels bellies.
The Pughman brothers decided a
couple of months ago that it was too
lonesome out in Regina, and they made
up their minds to go back to Brussels
and see if this could be remedied. They
drew lots to see which should propose
to which, and George drew Leah and
CASTOR Georgette. They sailed back to
Brussels, put the important question,
and now have returned with their
brides. They are going to Saskatche-
wan as soon as they have seen the
wonders of New York, and no prettier
or happier brides ever came to Ameri-
ca than these two who arrived on the
