Criticises Statement.

This man is an adept in the most
dangerous form of Justification, the
telling of half truths" he continued.
He told how the controller had given
out a statement to the newspapers
asserting that four officers of the
Riggs Bank had borrowed more than
100000 of the bank in a period of
eighteen years.
mo officer of the bank ever Dor
rowed any money without giving am
pie collateral security" he said.
They did not borrow merely on their
own notes"
Mr.. Hogan said that the figures pub
llshed in the statement appeared large
and were intended to be so. He charged
that the controller in reaching this total
had added up all the renewed notes. and
demonstrated to the committee, how,
by so doing, the total could have been
made very large
IN an inconSpicuous part of the state
ment,' continued Mr.. Hogan. Mr. Will
liams said that some of the loans have
been renewals. Didn't he know that
some of these loans were renewals ?
Couldn't he have found out about them
with his examiners?
THE statement given out was calcu-
lated to do harm to the bank, if it
could be harmed. 1t showed the COM
plete unfitness of this man for office"

Ruling by Former Controller.

Mr.. Hogan said the controversy be
gan in 1873 when an assistant national
bank examiner appeared al Riggs Bank
and demanded permission to take a
list of depoSitorS who had loans of
$1,000 or more in the bank and their
balances.
Mr.. Hogan pointed out that former
Controller Lawrence o. Murray. in
1909. had issued an order prohibiting
bank examiners from taking lists of
depositors and their deposits from
national banks. on the ground that
such action was not proper, and that
if the. bank examiners became officers
Iof banks later, as they. frequently
did. such list might be used to aid
a competing bank.
THE bank refused the request of
the assistant examiner and wrote to
the controller. citing this order of
Controller Murray" said Mr.. Hogan.
Mr.. Hogan insisted that Mr.. Williams
reply to the bank was "discourteous,
indecent and disingenuous." One SEN
tence referred to the alleged" order
of the controllers office.
Yet Mr.. Williams knew of this or
der, and it was not an allegation by
the bank" said Mr.. Hogan.

Case Reviewed.
NOMINATION IS OPPOSED

A charge that John Shelton Williams.
controller of the currency, carried on
fight against the Riggs National
Bank in 1913 because of personal ami
mostly and because two officers of the
bank appeared against the contirma-
ton of his nomination before the
senate committee was made to the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee today by Frank J. Hogan, counsel
for the bank during the controversy
with the controller.
Mr.. Hogan resumed his testimony
today before the committee, which is
considering the reappointment of Mr..
Williams
This fight" said Mr.. Hogan, "was
being carried on by Mr.. Williams
against the only bank whose officers
appeared against his confirmation Is
1t any wonder that former Senator
Weeks said to this committee at the
last session of Congress that the
bankers were afraid to appear against
this man? 1t would have been sui
cidal for bank to oppose him"

that she remained down town shopping

Miss Shepherd.
Mrs. Q. A. Bailey. keeper of a beau

preached by Francisco to have such an
operation performed on Mrs. Walker

members of the bar crowded close to

Mrs. Shepherd had repeatedly asked
