Percales, READ CO; HIWi‘illllltlljllTlWAYi ., He Coyered Up His Criminal Acts 'for the reason that he had no lawful service, to an impartial investigation and - been directed to suspend examinations for Until the. Bank Was Closed. DREW CENSURED ,BY LACEY. The Comptroller of the Currency Says the Bank Examiner Hid the True Condi- tion of the Keystone Bank—That's Why It \Vasn’t Closed Sooner. PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—United States District Attorney John R. Read said last night, in regard to the statement of Comp- troller Lacey, that Lacey supposed him to be in full possession of knowledge of the criminal acts Of Marsh. “I wish to say positively that I had no knowledge of any criminal act by any liv- ing official until after the bank was closed. I did not know until after the bank was closed that Marsh’s reports to the comp- troller of the currency were false, At a. conference held at Attorney General Mil— ler’s on or about the 27th or 28th of March, the utmost discretion was given me in making arrests. At the conference at which Comptroller Lacey was present it was acquiesced in'that it would be inad- visable to make any arrests while there was a possibility of a reorganization being effected or the appointment of a receiver averted. “Immediately aft-er Mr. Davis declined the presidency of the bank and'I sawvthat all hope of a reorganization was over, I caused the arrest of Marsh and Lawrence. The absolute evidence that the reports made by Marsh to the comptroller of the currency were false, and that the entries made in the books by Marsh and Lawrence were false, was not submitted to me until after they were arrested.” EXAMINER DREW WAS T0 BLAME. Comptroller Lacey Tells \Vhy He Didn’t Close the Bank 'Sooner. WASHINGTON, June 16.—In defense of the action of his office in delaying the closing of the Keystone National bank, of Phila- delphia,Comptroller of the Currency Lacey says that he did not close the bank sooner authority to do so upon the facts sub- mitted, and for the further reason that he was advised by Bank Examiner Drew that the capital of the bank was unim— paired; that the creditors were therefore fully protected and that prompt efforts would be made to replenish the cash by deposits of $300,000 to be made by the lead- ing directors and stockholders, which should place it in funds until its own assets became available. Further and later reports from Drew convinced the comptroller that the board of directors were slow in putting matters in a satisfactory condition, so on March 7 he levied an assessment of $250,000 upon the sharehold- ers on the. promise from a committee of directors of the bank that the assessment would be paid within a week. On March 14 Mr. Drew complained of little active support from the directors on the effort to rehabilitate the bank. This reached the comptroller'on the 16th, and three days later he closed the bank. The bank then remained in charge of the examiner for fifty-one days. Nothing Lost by the Delay. In answer to criticisms for delay in ap- pointing a receiver, Mr. Lacey says it was not made immediately because it was the duty of the comptroller to facilitate a re- sumption of business by the bank. It was important, considering all the business and municipal ramifications which the failure involved, that plenty of time be given for developments, in order to avoid the ap- pointment of some-improper and inter- ested person. No person, he says, can show that any creditor, debtor or stock- holder has been damaged to the extent of one dollar by reason of the delay. Mr. Wanamaker, the comptroller said, had simply asked that the appointment of a receiver be delayed one day, in order to see if subscriptions to the new stock could not be procured and the bank thus saved. In concluding the statement M. Lacey says: “I deem it my duty to say that, in my opinion, the several reports made by the bank examiner did not reflect the true condition of the bank under con- sideration. The degree of blame, if any, which properly attaches to Mr. Drew is yet to be ascertained. He is entitled, by reason of his long and hitherto acceptable :1 fair hearing. He has recently been so fully employed, by reason of the failure of the Keystone and Spring Garden national banks, that it has as yet been impracti- cable to give the matter the consideration its importance demands.” Lacey’s Letter to Drew. PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—Mr. Drew was seen in regard to the comptroller’s state- ment that his reports did not show the true condition of the Keystone National bank, and said that he was confident the reports showed the condition as accurately as could be ascertained by him at the time made. Regarding the statement that he had the present, Mr. Drew furnishes the fol- lowing letter from Mr. Lacey, dated June 5, which he (lid not interpret at the time as signifying suspension: Your favor of the 2d inst. came to hand by due course of mail. I note what ybu say in ' reference to the proposed resolution of Mr. Etting, and also the attacks made upon your- self. I also note that you are pretty near through with your work connected with the . two failed banks, and will soon be ready to re- sume your regular duties. I have to suggest that before resuming examinations I should like to have a conference with you and go over the matters which have attracted so much at tention during the past threemonths. You have been so fully employed as custodianof the assets of these two insolvent banks that I did not care to have you take the time to come over here, but as soon as I can get a little leisure and you are free from the banks in question I shall be glad to arrange for you to come over for a. conference. . .

HIS JUDGMENT WAS WRONG The Heir Apparent Sees Now the Error of His \Vay' in the Baccarat Scan— dal—Sir Edward Clarke to Be l‘ulled Up Short. LONDON, June 16.——In the house of com- mons Monday evening Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary of state for war, re- plying to questions with regard to the re‘ cent baccarat scandal, said that Sir Wil- liam Gordon-Cumming was the first per- sOn who had broken faith in that connec- tion. He did so because of his failure to report the case to his commanding Officer. The offense which might have been com- mitted by any other of the persons inter- ested in the baccarat mat-tor consisted in advising and pressing him to take a. differ- ent course from that laid down in the army regulations. Of the three other officers concerned in the affair (Field Mar- shal the Prince of “Vales. General Owen Williams and Lieutenant Berkely Levett, of the Scots Guards) General \Villiams was on the retired list of the army, and, therefore, not subject to its regulations; the other two undoubtedly were. The Prince’s Apology. W'ith this preliminary statement the secretary of state for war, amidst pro- found silence, and followed by the close and anxious attention of a. house crowded on floor and in gallery, and. speaking with the utm'vst deliberation, said: “His royal highncss, the Prince of Wales, on looking back upon all the circumstances of this case has authorized him (Mr. Stanhope) to say that lxc now saw the error of judgment which he had committed.” Continuing the secretary of state for war informed the house that Lieutenant Berkcly Levett had written to his com- mander ;Colonel Stracey, of the Scots Guards) cxprcssing'his deep regret that he had failed to act in accordance with the army regulations. Mr. Stanliope concluded his statement by saying that it was not proposed by the government to take further action in the matter. When Mr. Stanhope had finished his authorized statement on behalf of the prince there was a generous outburst of applause, but when in his concluding re- marks he declared the matter dropped by the government the cheers came only from the Tory benches. ' To Discipline Sir Edward Clarke. There is on foot a movement in several London clubs to bring about the resigna- tion or expulsion of Sir Edward Clarke in consequence of what is styled his “dis- loyal” speech in the baccarat trial, wherein he attacked the. Prince of Wales. The queen takes the same view of the speech, and has referred the matter to. her imme- diate advisers. A council of .the royal family, it is said, will be held on Saturday, when the situation resulting from the bac~ carat case will be considered. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will posi- tively take Official notice of the imputation of gross partiality in his summing up which was publicly made by the plaintiff, Sir William Gordon-Cumming, at Forres, Scotland, on Saturday. Sir William, in a letter to a London friend, says that he feels that he has done better to fight and lose than not to have fought at all. It is rumored that Sir William will be nominated for parliament by his Scottish constituency at Fortes. ‘ A Card from Cumming. Sir \Villiam Gordon~Cummin g writes tc the United Press with reference to a state- ment published by the New York Herald in its issue of Friday, June 12, and on the authority of a member of the Garner fam- ily. The statement was in effect a. denial of the reports that one of Miss Florence Garner’s (now Lady Gordon-Cumming} sisters was present at the wedding cere- mony, and that the marriage was with their family’s appropriation. Sir William says that the statement thus made is cor- rect, and adds, “Lady Gordon-Cumming did not consult any member of her family on the subject of "her engagement'to me, nor was there any necessity to do so.” The Rainfall Was Terrible. ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, June 16.—A man who has just arrived here from Greer county, in the extreme southwestern part of the Indian Territory, reports that the Red river and its north fork have been out of their banks for over a. week, com- pletely hemming the people in and cut ting off all communication with the outside world. The rainfall there has been simply terrible, and the people are suffering every- where. Over half the wheat crop has been ruined, and corn and oats are-nearly killed. A cloudburstinundated the little town of Frazer, ruining every merchant’s stock of goods and compelling the people to flee for their lives. in the town and three in the country. The foundations of many houses were washed away and wrecked, and dugouts every- where were caved in. Hundreds of people are living out of doors on high land pray- ing for the floods to recede. The damage done in that county alone will exceed $500,000. ’ Not Victims of Cannibalism.“ PARIS, June 16.—-M. Roche, minister of the colonies, has received a dispatch from M. de Brazza, the well known French ex- ' plorer in Africa, which indicates that there is no truth in the recently published report that the members of the expedition from Lounge under M. Paul Crampel had been Imxssacred, roasted and devoured by the Matonga natives. The latest news re- ceived from the :mission by the minister of the. colonies was to the effect that the expedition was within fifty days’ march of its destination (Lake Tchad), and that all was then well.
