meeting was held by creditors, de-
positorS and stockholders OF the
bank at which resolution was
adopted advising against the sale. OF
the building. The substance OF this
resolution was teIegraphed to Mr..
| Williams by Mr.. Jones.
Despite this, he said, the building
was sold the following day for $780,
900, though one man had appraised it
at 100000 and another at $1.s70,0OO.
Lost Interest and Dividends.
Not only did the bank lose it's
building, its indebtedness to deposit
tors being fully covered by the shares
of stock owned by Thompson. which
was still undisposed of at the time OF
the sale, but the stockholders also
lost interest and dividends on their
investment.
The total loss he put as follows:
Estimate Of bank building, $1,000, 900:
interest on deposits. $24O,0O divi-
dends, $4,000; market value OF the
bank stock. 100000 expense OF ad-
ministration, 100000.
Not a dollar OF Thompson's direct
Indebtedness had been paid. he said.
Had the 10000 shares of stock been
redeemed, as agreed upon, they would
have brought $4,000 more than was
realized from the sale OF the bank
building.
The Comptroller's testimony yes
terdsy afternoon brought to a vir-
tual close his series OF counter
charges against the banking activi-
ties of Wade H. Cooper, of the United
States Savings Bank and the Union
Savings Bank of Washington.
While it is not believed Mr.WiI-
liams will go to the length of a de-
tailed reply to the charges OF his
persecution of the Riggs National
Bank preferred by Frank J. Hogan,
the local attorney. il. is most certain
that the Comptroller will be oues-
toned very closely concerning his
relations with that institution by
members of the committee. Senator
Mclean of Connecticut. chairman of
the committee, especially shows a de-

Resuming his testimony before the
committee yesterday afternoon, Mr..

clared charges against his official

How much of your shot charge
hits the mark?

The base wads Of Winchester Shells
are constructed to give what Is known
as progressive combustion TO the pow
der charge. The ignition spreads TO
the sides, IN directions as weIl as
forward.
Under the heat and pressure Of this
progressive combustion, the tough,
springy driving wad expands and fills
the bore snugly, completely sealing IN
the gas behind. In being driven through
the bore this wad offers Just enough re-
sistance TO the gas blast to insure COM
plete combustion of every grain of
powder, so that the fun energy Of the
whole powder charge IS developed At
the muzzle. Thus none Of the shot
charge leaves the gun until It IS beng
driven BY the maximum energy and
velocity possible from the load.
At the muzzle, the expanded, snug
fitting driving wad IS slightly checked
for fraction Of a second by the
muzzle choke OF construction, while
the shot cluster travels on unbroken
by gas blast OF wadding, making the
hard-hitting uniform pattern for which
Winchester Shells are world famous.
