probably will not be served, as Harold
Spielberg, counsel for Rae Tanner,
promised the federal authorities TO pro-
duce her sisters in court this morn

their testimony at the preliminary
hearing in the case Of Rae, before
United States Commissioner HOughton,

Loans Made TO officers.

A little later the Controller of the
Currency wrote:
"The first examination Of your bank
made after March 4, 1913, namely, the
examination of May, 1913, showed that
nearly two-thrds of the entire capital
Of your bank was being borrowed by its
president, its two Independents, Its
cashier and its other directors. These
loans were in addition to other large
loans which were also being made to
firms or business concerns of your
directors, which sums largely increased
the total.
"The loans at that time 70 your
president, your two presidents and
YOUR cashier exceeded $780, 900, eXclu
sive of the indirect or dummy loans
which some Of your officers were also
borrowing at that time, as has been
developed in the recent investigation
by the bank examiner"
In still another of his letters Mr..
Williams said

opinion of this Office no excuse has

but Notwithstanding the PLAN

and notwithstanding the gross i'm

Blames Allies for Attack.

Despite the statement of the bank
issued to-day. which denied that the
officials OF the institution had any
knowledge Of the articles published in
The Tribune in December, 1913, Con-
troller Williams in his statement to-
night said that Nice-president Allies
admitted to him that he had read over
and approved these articles before
publication. Mr.. Williams said:
THE statement also made by the
bank as to the interview at the Treas

Charges False Statements.

con April 5 the Controller addressed
Il letter to the bank calling its atten-
ton to various false statements which
haG been made by its officers under
oath, and what are regarded as dello-
crate efforts to deceive the depart
ment, and notified the bank that In
view of the unsatisfactory and dan
cerous conditions which have come TO
Light as the result of the investiga-
tons of the bank by this office and the
national bank examiner, in view or the
unreliability of the statements made
by your officers under oath or other-
wise, and your long continued defiance
Of the law and disregard for the IN
structions of this Office, you are here
by notified that the Controller OF the
Currency will, until further notice, re
fuse to approve the Riggs National
Bank as depository for the reserves of
other national banks"
Extracts from letters written TO the
bank officers by Controller Williams
are given in the statement. In one let
ter Mr. Williams wrote:
at appears that for the sake of the
commissions collected by your officers
in buying and selling bonds and stocks,
you have been executing orders for
women (inclpding Treasury employees,
young men. clerks, professional and
business men, who have been tempted
to engage through you in stock specu-
lations which have proved in various
cases costly and damaging, if not ruin
Gus.
"The books of your bank showed a.
the last examination that nearly
81 100000 of the funds Of the bank
was being loaned to some forty or fifty
women on stocks and other securities,
many of them Of a highly speculative
character"
In another letter Mr. Williams wrote:
investigations by this Office indicate
that the officers of your bank have not
only made or connived at the making
of so-called dummy or indirect loans,
by which funds are furnished to Gus
toners beyond the amounts which the
bank could legally lend directly to
these customers as in the case of the
five loans Of $4,000 each, S250,00O)
made some years ago TO your clerks
for the benefit of one
whose excessive loans you had been
directed TO eliminate from the bank.
but your officers have on different oc-
casions, it appears, loaned TO them
selves OF one to the other the banks
funds through these so-called dummy
or indirect loans; as. for example, when
your president, less than a year ago,
got $4,000 of money from the bank
through a note made by the assistant
paying teller on collateral furnished by
your president for hypothecation."
