STILL IN
CHARGE OF FIRST
NATIONAL BANK

w. b. Roper, national bank exam
lner' has not been appointed receiver
or the defunct First National bank
and it is learned positively that he
is not permitted to give information
to the public regarding the Condition
OF defunct institutions of the charac-
ter of the First National, which is now
in charge of the United States gov
ernment.
In an interview with a News re-
porter today. Mr.. Roper declared that
he was here simply as national bank

when national banks cose. The Comp

as to the approximate amount de
positors would receive and when they
could get it. Mr. Roper declared that
the only way you can tell about that

impossible for him 10 make an esti-
mate of how and when that is going

PRESIDENT TO END THE
ROW OVER SHIPS
May Create Division Of Authority
to Stop Controversy Between
GoethaIs and Denman,

Washington.-Steps are to be taken
to settle the shipping board row by
President Wilson.
There was no intimation as to the
presidents move, but officials in close
touch with the situation believe that
Chairman Denman and Major General
Goethals, manager of the boards fleet
corporation, will be told that they
must compose their differences and
start Immediately upon the govern
ment's ship-building program. In sup
port of this belief there were indica-
lions that the shipping board and
General Goethals are working on a
more harmonious basis than at any
time since first disagreeing over the
question of wooden ships.
President Wilson, it is believed, is
of the opinion that more would be
lost than gained by letting Mr.. Den
man or General Goethals go. Many
officials think he will make a def
mite division of authority, and end
a situation in which each holds him
self responsible for the building pro-
gram.
A report late Tuesday says Goethals
has resigned and the same accepted by
President Wilson.
