USURY CHARGE IS REPEATED
Controller Williams Answers Crit
cisms of Bankers Association.

While it is true that a majority of
national banks obey the usury laws of
the various states, according to John
Shelton Williams, reports rendered to
him showed. as he announced in
speeches and previous public state
ments. that this was far from being
universally the case. He issued a
statement last night in reply to criti-
cisms of the American Bankers Asso-
citation. following his declaration that
many national banks charge usurious
interest.
THE only states where there were no
national banks which admitted under
oath in their statements of September
2. 1915, that they were charging as high
as IL per cent on any of their loans.
were Connecticut, Delaware, Mississippi,
New Hampshire. Rhode Island. Vermont
and Wisconsin" said the statement 1t
added that reports of September 2. 1915,
showed that 2.743 of the 1913 national
banks of the country were charging 10
per cent on some loans.
Mr.. Williams suggested that here
after national banks be required to
print in their published statements of
condition the maximum rate of interest
charged. He expressed the hope that
the association will work with the con-
troller's office to end the practices COM
planned of.

From New England Point.

Laden with about $500 tons of
pyr.tes from New England point. the
big sea-going barge Wilmington. one
of tho new boats Of the Dougherty
feet Of Baltimore. arrived at Alexan-

ago. and this is the second trip she has
made since going into service. The
vessel is one of the most modern of
her type. and is fitted with all appli-
ances for the quick handling of car

They are the most practical men
