NEW YORK BANKS
CALL ON M'AOO0
To PROVE CHARGE
Declare They Have Made No
Loans at More Than Lawful
Rates - Blacklisted Banks
Heard From

New York, Sept. 2S.--Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo today admitted
In a telegram to Chairman Wiggin. of
the New York clearing house commit
tee. that he was unable TO substantiate
his allegation that two New York
per cent on extensive loans to a
Southern correspondent bank.
Mr.. McAdoo had relied for SUBJ
sanitation upon a statement from the
president of a borrowing bank where
in, according TO the secretary. II was
affirmed that the two New York banks
had charged Z per cent In addition to
demand for the maintenance of a
protective deposit at New York. which
brought the total interest require ment
to approximately 8 per gent. A sub
sequent communication from the bank
president said the rate charged was
only 6 per cent which Is the pre-
vailing rate in New York
Mr.. McAdoos admission of the in
accuracy OF his charge was made In
response 10 a telegram from Chairman
Wiggin, stating that the two New
York banks attacked by the secretary
denied they had made any loans at a
rate above 8 per cent, and demanding
that the charge either be substantiated
or withdrawn.
The secretary also received today a
telegram from President T. f. Beal.
Of the Boston Clearing House associa-
ton. denying that any Boston banks
are charging interest above per cent
In addition, notice was taken by Mr.
McAdoo Of statements made by many
of the black listed" small banks IN
various sections of the country giving
adequate explanations. based upon
peculiarly local conditions. for the
high points to which their reserves
had accumulated.
Persons in touch with the viewpoint
Of bankers said tonight that the mere
existence OF heavy reserves. at a sea
son when heavy credit demands ordi-
narily were to be expected. does not
constitute a prima facie case against
the banks.
