Remote Contingency Cited.

Remote Contingency Cited.
There seems to be no reason that any
of the conservative states will con-
tribute votes to Roosevelt. except in
one contingency. which at this time Is
regarded as remote in the extreme
that Is. in case the situation reaches
a stage, through unforeseen develop
ments which would justify the old
line leaders themselves after confer
ence in accepting the colonel
Such an outcome now is regarded as
the very last resort, to be reached only
by events of unusual and compelling
character 1t is not expected to be pre-
cipitated upon the convention by a
stampede. That big business is be-
hind the coloneIs candidacy is being
made more manifest each day. In this
city the business mems committee,
headed by men affiliated with the
packers, the traction interests and the
Standard Oil Company, u making head
way in gaining support from corpora
tions and business men of large affairs.
The announcement from New York
that Frank NJ. Vanderlip Of the Ma
tional City Bank has come out for the
colonel was received with mods of ap-
probation by the Roosevelt business
boomers in Chicago. 1t is said that
this was expected and that similar dec
larations are to follow from others
high in financial and industrial af-
fairs

Statement by Oregonians.

A statement to this effect was given
out by former Senator Fulton and w. h
Brooke, as follows: I'VE are here to
esta blish headquarters for the oregon
delegation and do what we can to aid
In bringing about the nomination OF
Justice Hughes.
1--WE do not pretend to represent Mr.
Hughes or to have IN charge the move
ment to secure his nomination We
have been commissioned by the repub-
Iicans of the state of Oregon to do our
utmost to secure his nomination, and
we are here to execute that trust. We
desire to cooperate with all who are
animated by a like purpose. We
feel that we are fully justified by the
situation In actively entering upon the
work of organizing the movement to
secure the nomination of Mr.. Hughes"
A submarine attack was made upon
Mr.. Hughes last night by the circula-
ton of copies of an interview which
he had with Rabbi Wise. June Il, 1872.
in which he explained his ideas of the
relation OF a Supreme Court justice to
politics The Inference sought to be
suggested by the circulators of the
statement was that Justice Hughes had
in that interview placed himself be-
yond tho pale of politics and ineligible
for political preferment.

Chicago Tribune's Position.

The Chicago Tribune. which four
years ago supported Col. Roosevelt.
today outlines its position in a column
editorial In brief the Tribune is for
him il he can receive the approval of
the entire republican convention. 9TH
erwise not. The substance of the edi-
torial is conveyed In this paragraph:
I'VE believe that II Col. Roosevelt
could be nominated by acclaim he would
be the strongest candidate the repub-
|lican party could find. But we do not
believe that Roosevelt forced down the
throat of the convention would be the
strongest candidate. 1t would be better
nominated with the enthusiastic approval
Of the entire convention than to get
Roosevelt and have a powerful minor
ity in the party determined that ne
should not win in November.
There Is a temporary cessation in the
attempts of the allies TO blum ana
frighten Justice Hughes into an an
nouncement which would prevent his
nomination. They thought his ethlcai
ideas spelled timidity and that a little
bluster could back him down. Reallz-
ing their mistake. they now are at
tending to their own knitting, gather
ing in delegates for themselves.
A definite and tangible nucleus for
Hughes boom and organization mas
been created by the arrival OF the ore
ron delegation. This state has in
structed for Hughes. and the delegates
feel that they hold a commission 10
urge his nomination. though not to
speak for him.

Controllers Contention Correct.
THAT the plaintiffs construction of the
nature Of special reports which the con-
troller was entitled to call for. was wrong.
and that the controllers contention was
strued makes lawful any inquiry by the
controller for the purpose of obtaining in
formation, not only as to current items
on the books of the bank, but also for the
purpose of informing himself generally as
to the management of the bank and that
it is certain that Congress intended that
national banking associations should be
under the strictest supervision by him
(the controller) for the protection of
creditors and stockholders and of the
the controller under Revised Statutes,
section 5211. is to call for a report on the
affairs Of bank just as fully, at least,
as might bank examiner
That there was no such arbitrary
action on the part of the controller as
but that the action of the controller
on the basis of which specific charges
are made to the effect that he was
acting in excess of his powers. exam
ined In the light of the views above
expressed. must be upheld as lawful
That the plaintiffs contention that
the controller had no right to call for
reports as to past transactions was
wrong. and that valid reasons for go
ing back over the books of the bank
Tor several years may be suggested
by what is discovered as to recent
transactions
The controllers requirement that
certain facts be laid before the hoard
of directors. even il made for the pur-
pose of discrediting the plaintiffs off,
GERS before the board of directors was
proper.
Not Done Maliciously.
That the allegation in the bill that
the acts of the controller were done
malicfously is merely statement of a
conclusion of law
The controller was acting within his
powers and in performance of his duty.
SO far as calling for the reports is con-
cerned. Therefore, as no right of the
plaintiff was infringed, he was not act
ing maliciously
That the actions of the controller az
treasurer of the Red Cross funds were
perfectly proper steps to obtain the
largest possible revenue from it while
on deposit The plaintiff was given the
same opportunity that was given to
others to have those deposits made in
its bank
AS to the merits of the case, the
single point on which the court finds
against the defendant Is the following:
That the controller in making his de-
mand of January %, 1915. for the spe-
cial report called for required that it
should be made under the oath of the
president. cashier and three named Of
fcers and directors. whereas the stat
ute, section 5211. only required that the
report be sworn to by the president or
cashier and attested by the signatures
Of at least three of the directors. The
court said: Therefore 1t must be held
in this case that the controller, having
called for a report not verified and
attested as provided in the statute. did
not place himself in a position where
he could lawfully assess a penalty for
a failure to comply with a demand
which he made"

Department of Justice Issues
Statement Reviewing JUS
tice McCoy's Decision.

The Department Of Justice has made
public a statement, reviewing the deci-
sion of Justice Mccoy of the Supreme
Court of the District in the case of the
Riggs National Bank against Treasury
officials, which was handed down yes
terday. The department claims "a vic
tory for the government" notwith
standing the fact that Justice Mccoy
continued the injunction restraining
the payment into United States Treas
ury funds of the thousand dollar
fine which Controller Williams endeav-
ored to impose on the bank.
The statement of the Department of
Justice is. in part, as follows:
The decision of Justice Mccoy in
the Riggs Bank case, as the depart
ment understands it, decides the fol-
lowing points:
That the court had jurisdiction of
the case:
That as the bill does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of action
against the Secretary of the Treasury
as to conspiracy, nor as to anything
done or threatened by him. it must be
dismissed as to him. unless he Is a
necessary party In order to give relief
