The most sensational was heard late in the day, when the last witness 10 take the stand c. E.

He testi- hed that he became acquainted wlth many of the nineteen defendants and re- peated conversations he said he had with them.

SO that not counting the so-called export tax which Is a part of the recent Paris sett.ement. the schedule arrived at does not seem 10 be unreasonable -i

 Speaking of the discussions at he Paris peace conference, Mir. Lament said:
 T am going to take this opportunity , to say word. in general. as 10 Presl- dent Wilson's attitude at the peace con- ference. He ss accused of having been ' unwilling to consult his colieaEuea I never saw man more ready and anxious to consult than he. He has been accused of having deem desirious 10 gain credit Tor himself and to ignore otherz. never saw man more considerate of those of his coadjutoIs who were working .rume- diately under him. TOT a man more ready to give them credit with the other chiefs of state.
 President Wilson undoubtedly had hir disabilities. He did not have a ven CT. gsnized secretarial stan. He did fa- see much of the work himself. In execution we all have blind spot in some part of our eye. President Wilson's was his n. ability to use men: an inability. mind you. not refusal. On the contrary

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Pittsburgh Clearing House association was accused by Comptroler Williams of the currency today of having forbidden it's member banks 70 furnish data asked for in the nationsi bank call issued yesterday by the comptroller.
 Several items not heretofore given on the face of the reports were requested In the current call. the comptroller explain ed. These items, he said, included state- ment as to the amount of money which was being loaned on oond and stock col- lateral in New York city; a sO -ement showing the aggregate amount ot salaries paid to the executiv. officers of banks, and the number of such officers, and the amount of salaries paid all other, em- ployes of the bank, and the number of such employees.
 The obvious purpose of inclusion of the clauses apparently found objection able in Pittsburgh" MT. Williams said, was to develop whether money of depos- itors in national banks is being diverted from its proper function of supplying le- Kitimate business and enterprise to earn fancy rates from the need or recklessness of spectators at distance. and whether d;sproportionate or improper amounts of the earnings of banks are being ext; uded in salaries to officials. It is difficult tD understand why bankers who have used such money discreetly and with regard tt the rights of their customers and share' holders should object to making this in formation public
