CITY BANK AND THE STATE
Report of Giving Up National
Charter Denied.

No intimatlon has yet been received
from the National City Bank as 10
whether II Will enter the new federal re-
serve system. a report was circulated IN
the financial district yesterday that this
bank would relinquish its national char
ter and merge with two state banks 10 90
banking business under a state charter
While this report was officially branded
as false II nevertheless was given some
credence in view of tho silence or the
head Of the National City Bank since the
passage OF the currency bill. Mr.. Wander
lip has refused TO comment to the news
papers on the measure. as other bankers
have done and in view OF his known OPP
position TO many provisions OF the Dill IL
would not surprise many to see the Ma
tional City Bank remain out OF the sys-
tom.
From 1872 to 1863 the National city Bank
was a state institution, and so would nave
a former banking status TO resume. The
reported hostility OF some OF the treasury
officials to the City Bank has also
strengthened the belief this institution
may finally decide to quit the national
banking system.

Courts Decision Refuses

Perfdy of Man.
DAMAGE SUIT
DIES WITH HER
Asked $4,000 from A. G. Van
derbilt's Stable Boss" Alleg-
ing Misled in Marriage.

Misc Florence Rosser Schenck died one
dav too soon 10 learn of her vindicauon'
AT least in part, in her suit for SoooOo
damages against Charles II. Wilson. man
arer OF Alfred c.. Vanderbllts stable. on
the allegation that he had induced her to
marry him while he was still the husband
Of another woman and after he hac mis-
led Miss Schenck and took her abroad
with him.
Wilson demurred TO the complaint made
bv Miss Schenck. who was III when the
action was filed in November, on the
ground that the complaint did not con-
stitute a cause OF action. Justice Gave
gan overruled the demurrer and gave
Miss Schenck Judgment on the pleadings
on the law involved in the case.
In his decision the justice said:
whether the defendant will be able
a, a trial 10 successfully refute the ALE
cations contained in the complaint Is an
other matter. but to hold that he should
not even be required to answer such ale
cations would be. in my opinion. not
merely an error of law: with the facts
alleged, presumed to be true, it would be
denying justice 10 a woman and placing
premium on the perfdy OF man"
Miss Schenck died early Yesterday
morning in Norfolk. Va, where her
father. Or. Powhatan Schenck. formerly a
surgeon in the United States navy. had
taken her from a sanatorium in this city.
Justice Gavegan wrote his opinion on Sat
urday. but it did not become effective
until yesterday, when it was officially
filed.
With the death Of Miss Schenck the
suit brought by her will also die, as there
is probably no one who can sustain the
charges made against Wilson. and the
damages were asked for personal injury.
However. II the suit was for fraud and
deceit instead Of breach OF promise, on
which point there seems 20 be some
doubt IL is possible that the estate or
Miss Schenck may maintain the action.
Miss Schenck alleged that when she
was eighteen Wilson. who was then forty
five years old. induced her under promise
OF marriage 10 leave her home. in Nor
folk, and 20 TO Richmond, where II was
alleged Wilson said they would be mar
ried. Wilson was then a married man,
which fact, Justice Gavegan pointed out.
ne concealed from Miss Schenck while
they were on their way 10 Richmond.
Subsequently Wilson revealed his mar
ried state TO Miss Schenck. but explained
that his wife was suing him for divorce
ana that as soon rs his wife obtained
her decree he would marry her Justice
| Gavegan said that at that time Mrs. VII
son had not even begun her suit.
| Wilson and Miss Schenck went 10
Europe. and in her complaint she told
about going through marriage ceremony
with him, Nalesks Suratt. the actress
| and 4. j. Treece acting az witnesses. II
Miss Schenck had lived Wilson could still
have obtained permission from the court
before a jury.

l93d street From the moment she re-
ceived word of Kenyon's death her inter

had little else TO think about In this time
save the happy prospect OF becoming
Kenyons bride.
All OF Sunday she sat at the window,
gazing respondent into the sleety street.
Her mother tried TO awaken new thoughts
and hopes in her daughter. but she could
not. In the evening she sat for hours at
table, writing She tore up each letter as
soon as she had finished IT. Her excite

press herself as abe desired. Mrs Sinnott
told her daughter TO go TO bed.
"Ill go in a few minutes" she replied.
You go ahead"
Mrs. Sinnott slept for few hours. She
got up at 8 o'clock and, going into the
room, found the girl still writing.
You must 20 TO bed" Mrs. Sinnott
said.
"In few minutes. mother" she an
swered.
Mrs Sinnott went TO her room and fell
asleep quickly. At 7:S0 she awakened and
called her daughter. No answer came.
Then Mrs. Sinnott vent TO the daughter

mother went to the bathroom. She found
her daughter in the bathtub dead. Her
throat was cut The razor had dropped
from the girls fingers. She had left a
letter and will. This was the letter:

MAKE PLAN TO PLUG UP
INSANITY L00PH0lE
Committee Would Let jury
Judge Madness Given as
Crime Defence.

After twelve months consideration oil
the subject of insanity as defence 10 4"
criminal charge. the committee on the
law of insanity has made its report 10
the Society OF Medical Jurisprudence. Tho
committee found that while criticism OF
the present method of procedure was gem
eral no one was ready to offer suggestions
for its Improvement.
Their conclusion IS that the section OF
the Penal Code which defines that de-
gree OF insanity which excuses crime
should be stricken from the statute books.
The committee recommends that the jury
in each case should be tho sole Judge OF
whether the defendant was irresponsible
at the time he committed the act. The
essential points under the law are that "A
man must be so demented as not to know
the nature and quality of his act and not
to know that Il was wrong.
Judge Charles G. Mott, jr.. Of General
Sessions. who was for twelve years an
Assistant District Attorney. pointed out
Yesterday that the section of the code 10
which the committee objected was not a
IeRAl nennitlOn OF INSANITY bul mercy
marked the point at which responsibility
for crime ceased. He is opposed TO SUB
stituting for this legal signpost the 1udg-
ment Of jury. Several members OF Dis
,rict Attorney Whltman's staff also voiced
their opposition. They pointed out that
with that section of the law gone there
would be no standard OF responsibility
and that the opinions Of no two juI1es
would be likely to coincide.
