UNTERMYER PRAISES
JOHN S. WILLIAMS
zone Of the Best Comptrollers
Country Ever Had" He
Calls Him.

20 WASHINGTON, July 2s.--John Shelton
Williams was described before the SEN
ate Banking Committee to-day by Sam
uel Untermyer OF New York as zone of
the best comptrollers of the currency
the country ever had" The committee
is considering Mr.. williams's renomi-
nation and Mr.. Untermyer appeared to
explain his connection as attorney for
| the Government with proceedings
brought several years ago against off,
Gals of the Riggs National Bank Of
this city.
Testimony OF Frank K. Hogan. coun-
sci for the bank in those proceedings.
| that Mr.. Untermyer had suggested that
Federal indictments charging perjury
growing out OF the case might not be
| returned against the bank officials IL
they would resign, was denied by Mr..
Untermyer. He said, however, he had
recommended to former Attorney Gen
eral Gregory that perjury charges be
not Instituted because they were diff"
cult to prove. He added that he was
convinced that perjury had been COM
mitted but that there was question In
his MIND whether 1t had been wilful.
Mr.. Untermyer told the committee the
Comptroller had shown great magma
nimity' In renewing the Riggs bank
| charter after the Riggs case had ended.
adding:
II don't believe would have done It."
In appearing In the Riggs bank case
Mr.. Untermyer said he had not repre-
sented Mr.. Williams exclusively, but
was a special Assistant Attorney-Gen-
| eral.
Replying to questions by Senator
Fletcher (Florida), Mr.. Untermyer said
he was counsel for the committee OF
creditors OF the closed First National
Bank Of Uniontown, Pa. He told the
committee he thought the Comptroller
was a little unfortunate" in the selec-
ton of a receiver for that bank
THE receiver seems to antago a
good many people in that section, and I
have criticised him." tho witness said
| Questioned as TO the salary he received
as counsel for the Government in the
Riggs case, Mr.. Untermyer said because
of his friendship for former Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo he had offered to
act without compensation. but finally had
agreed TO accept $4,000.
Mr.. Williams followed Mr.. Untermyer,
resuming his defence of his action
against the Riggs bank. He presented
| what he said was conclusive evidence
that the bank had engaged In real
estate and brokerage business and de-
clared that since the Government had
forced the bank to discontinue these OPP
erations its business had increased
greatly. This showed increased con-
| fdence on the publics part, he said.
Mr.. Williams devoted the afternoon
session to the reading of his office rec
ords, together with correspondence with
officials OF the Riggs bank to show the
Comptroller's efforts to obtain more in
formation as to dummy loans alleged to
have been made to bank officials and the
total amount of such loans Reading Of
these records will be continued to-mor-
row.

HOWE PUTS BAN ON
BAD GERMAN COGNAC
General Stops Joy Riding and
Jacks Up Discipline.

CoBLENs, July 26 (delayed) The lid
on affairs generally in the areas oc-
cupied by the American troops which
had been lifted bit automatically with
the signing Of the Peace Treaty by the
Germans, again has been considerably
frightened by new orders.
In Amdernath and the zone on the
left bank OF the Rhine held by the
American Third Division the sale of
alcoholic drinks TO soldiers has been
prohibited by Divisional Commander
Howe. A recent Investigation showed
that the Germans had been selling SOL
diers imitation cognac and other strong
liquors at high ~prices. Gen. Howe $
order applies only to the Third Division
area.
A recent headquarters order puts a
bar on 10y riding and rfchibits the use
of army automobiles except on business
or when absolutely necessary. This
order also warns speeders that traffic
rules will be enforced. The order was
due to the fact that there have been a
large number OF accidents recently.
Another headquarters order refers to
men absent without leave, who are said
to have been numerous within the last
few weeks. 1t says special efforts are
being made to return these men to their
units. In Weisbaden a few days ago the
Military Police arrested forty-nine men
who were absent without leave. Several
of them were officers One of them had
been absent nine months from his unit.

mated, q reservation and interpretativs
statement should be adopted which
would adequately recognize the limita-
lions 1 have mentioned. Further. II Is
possible that such n reservation and in
terpretativc statement, while SUFFICIENT
for our. protection, would make ac-
Quiescence easier than II the elimina-
ton of the article were required. 1 APP
pend the form of such q statement for
