WILLIAMS RESIGNS
CURRENCY CONTROL
Comptroller Takes Parting
Shot at Congress Critics
in Retiring.

WASHINGTON, March John Skeltor
Williams retired tonight as Comptrollei
OF the Currency. In accepting his res
ignatlon with deep and genuine re-
luctance" President Wilson wrote to Mr.
Williams that he had been done a gross
injustice" by the way In which the
Senate Banking Committee had handled
the question of his reconfirmation.
II can only believe. however, said the
President. that time will disclose the
injustice TO everybody and that the righ,
verdict will be rendered by opinion II
not by one of the houses OF Congress.
II have had the pleasure upon more
than one occasion OF expressing to you
the approval not only, but the admira-
ton with which / have followed the
administration of your office You can
carry away with you into private life
the satisfaction of having performed the
duties of Comptroller of the Currency
in a way which has redounded not only
to the credit OF this Administration but
to the material benefit OF the financial
interests of the country"
The President was writing In reply TO
a letter from Mr. Williams on February
tonight, and in which he took A part
ing shot at some of his critics IN Con-
gress. The retiring Comptroller charged
that certain Senators" who had the
power to bring his nomination before
tine Senate had 'dodged and evaded
ignominiously"
Mr.. Williams also wrote that since
"the expressed opposition" to his con-
firmation and prolonged hearings before
two Senate banking committees virtually
had put him by implication under
charges he had felt that he was en-
titled to a verdict"
II have urged and pleaded in vain"
he said, for discussion in the open Sen
ate or executive session OF any objection
to my confirmation. My information Is
that Senator Mclean of Connecticut,
chairman of the Banking and Currency
Committee. refused to report my case
because he promised certain partisan
politician, not member OF the Senate,
that he would not report 1t.
Unfortunately, l was compelled to
put In the record Of the hearings an
incident seriously involving the veracity
of the man whose favor Senator Nc
Lean sought to obtain at the cost of
justice and fair dealing. / am Informed.
however, that the person to whom the
promise was made recently consented to
release Senator Mclean from the obli-
cations referred to, Dut the Senator re-
fused to submit the matter OF my con-
frmation to q Senate containing a ma
jority of his own party.
He had probably learned that con-
siderable number OF fair minded Re-
publican Senators had been disapprov-
ing the rank injustice OF his course
and his petty politics. and would have
voted to confirm my nomination even
though he had reported adversely. But.
as chairman, Senator Mclean chose to
smother the confirmation in the COM
mittee / am compelled to conclude that
this Senator lacks both the moral and
mental calibre to uphold the duties and
dignity OF his office, and that the con-
sideration due to those. as well as the
most sacred rights. must therefore be
subordinated to his sordid and small
political and personal purposes"

WHITMAN TO SEEK
BIGGER INDICTMENT
Grand Jury Will Devote Day
to Member of Hylan Ad-
ministratiOn.

Charles s. Whitman expects to ask
sion to-day to the consideration OF evil
dence against an active member OF the
Hylan administration. This man is not
In the Police Department, nor Is he In
the Street Cleaning Department al
though the contract In which he is sup
posed to have figured has to do with
the removal of ashes. Mr. Whitman
said he could not discuss the matter ex-
cept in case of indictment and arrest.
Last night Mr. Whitman sent to Police
Headquarters calling for the production
before the Grand Jury Of every book
keeping record relating to the pension
and relief funds. 1t Is evident that he
intends to check very carefully the re-
port which David Hirshfield, Commits
sioner of Accounts, sent to the Mayor on
Tuesday. In the report Hifshfield cited
police records to prove that Chief In
spector Lahey and the members of the
automobile squad indicted for taking un-
lawful rewards were suiltless.
Eventually Mr.. Whitman will call rs
Grand Jury witnesses every member OF
the Police Department named by Mr..
Hirshfield as having properly indorsed
the acceptance of $50 reward by De-
tective George j. Andrews. with whom
Lahey was indicted. some of them
were Grand Jury witnesses before the
indictment was voted, and 1t was un-
derstood that they then disclaimed all
knowledge of the Andrews reward
Mr.. Whitman said yesterday: "All the
evidence in repudiation of Commissioner
Mirshfield report. ! can only add that
are now or have been before the Grand
Jury. Certainly none of the members
of the Police Department called before
the Grand Jury talked to reporters. You
can therefore judge the purpose of the
Rirshfield report. | can only add that
the indictments against members of the
Police Department were returned on
the testimony Of the men in charge OF
the records referred to by Mr.. Hirsh-
field"
The former Governor does not intend
to call Mr.. Hirshfeld as a witness.

The decision was reached at a meet

GratuItous. He Declares.

In his letter to the Director-General
Mr.. Williams declared that If the United
States Steel Corporation had held prices
to a moderate basis during the war, the
Government, the Allies and the public
would have been saved many times the
s2SS. 100000 paid by 1t In income taxes.
This Mr.. Gary considers a gratuitous
statement because Mr.. Williams failed
to indicate what moderate basis was.
"Of course" he says, IF our prices
had been lower and every one else's had
been likewise. including labor and wage
rates, transportation costs and prices of
every thing. erormous savings to the
Government would have obtained. Yet
to imply that such a result could have
been brought about by the Steel Cor
poration holding aloof. even If it wei g
permitted. from policies determined by
the Government itself. seems unreason-
able.
Mr.. Gary's statement declares that the
only just test OF the issue must be based
on the relation between profits earned
and the investment IN the corporations
properties. He submits data showing
that in 1918 the profits earned for the
investment. after providing Federal
taxes but before deducting any special
appropriations. amounted to 1928. 49,
1917. as set forth in the annual report
OF the corporation, amounted to S2,275,-
065.5a6, making 10 per cent. OF profits
earned on investment. This. Mr.. Cary
declares, does not Indicate profiteering
