BELIEVE WILLIAMS !.
WILL Be CONFIRMED
Members of Senate Committee Elk.
pect Favorable Report This
Afternoon.

With prospects of a favorable report
on the nomination of John Shelton VIII
liams as controller of the currency. some
time this afternoon. the Senate banking
and currency committee met at l o clock
to resume its consideration of the case.
Mr.. Williams himself was recalled before
the committee to answer a number OF
questions.
Members of the committee stated today
that they believed Mr. Williams nominal
ton would be favorably reported to- the
Senate and confirmed. Some of the re-
publican members of the committee are
opposed to his confirmation. but it is
doubtful if they will carry the fight to
the floor of the Senate.
Williams Criticised by M. E. Allies.
Milton +. Allies. vice president of the
Riggs National Bank and a representa-
tive of the National City Bank of New
York. criticised Mr. Williams at the hear
ing before the committee yesterday after
noon. He said he did not consider Mr..
Williams "temperamentally" fitted for
the office of controller of the currency.
He also declared that Mr.. Williams had
used extraordinary means to find mate
rial with which to attack the National
City Bank of New York.
Mr. Allies said that Mr.. Williams had
sent bank examiner to national bank
In Richmond and to another in Georgia
to demand correspondence that had
passed between the National City Bank
and these institutions
lie alleged the banks had surrendered
the letters and that the Treasury De
partment used them in an effort to ac-
cuse the National City Bank of trying to
emharrass the Treasury Department in
its policy Of making deposits of govern
ment funds for crop-moving purposes
In response to questions. Mr. Allies said
he was unable to account for Assistant
Secretary Williams antipathy for him.
except on the ground that at the time
MIR. Williams was retired from the board
of directors of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad. on the demand OF New YORK
financial interests interested in the rail-
road. Mr.. Allies was selected as his sue
cessor on the board.
Denies Charge of Animosity.
Mr. Williams, who was present when
these charges We're made. denied he had
any personal luminosity against Mr..
Allies. He produced the letters that the
bank examiner had brought to him from
Richmond and from Chattanooga. Mem
bers of the committee said. after the ad-
iournment, that the correspondence was
not startling. Mr.. Allies insisted the Sec
rotary of the Treasury had right to
use national bank examiners for such
purposes.
Mr. Allies started to read what seemed
70 be an official statement from the Treas
ury Department. published in one of the
local newspapers. eulogizing Frank A.
Munsey and declaring that the Munsey
Trust Company had been better fitted to
take over the United States Trust Com
oany than any other banking institution
ia Washington. But Mr.. Williams told
hat I,a t,oI
His statement and that he had not seen
until he read it in the newspaper.

Every housewife, when making pur-

Fly placing labels marked Grown

Local merchants should p~atronize
home farmers by buying homegrown
products In preference to those
shipped in from tho outside. Pat
ronize homo people aud they will

Encourage diversified farming and
livestock growing In Mississippi.
Every boy and girl in your county
should W a pig, a calf or some
chickens.
Bankers should loan money on
farms to do livestock farming.
Have the schools in your county
take up the study OF products grown

The Germans grew to be a strong
nation because the kaiser and his
subjects demand Made in Germany"
goods, thereby keeping their money
at home. Mississippi has no kaiser.
but why couldn't each sovereign
