Senate Banking Committee
Hears Controller-Riggs
Case Reviewed.
NOMINATION IS OPPOSED!
A charge that John Skelton Williams. j
controller of the currency, carried on |
a fight against the Riggs National j
Bank in 1913 because of personal ani
I mosity and because two officers of the i
? bank appeared against the confirma- \
i tion of his nomination before the j
I Senate committee was made to the j
j Senate banking and currency commit- ?
j tee today bv Frank J. Hogan. counsel i
j for the bank during the controversy!
| with the controller. :
I Mr. Ho^an resumed his testimony I
j today before the committee, which is \
considering the reappointment of Mr. ?
Williams. (
"This fight." said Mr. Tlopran. "was |
boine: carried on by Mr. Williams i
against the only bank whose officers
appeared against his confirmation. Is
it any wonder that former Senator
Weeks said to this committee at the
last session of Congress that the
bankers were afraid to appoar against
this man? It would have been sui
cidal for a bank to oppose him."
Ruling; by Former Controller.
Mr. Hogan said the controversy be
gan in 10.13, when an assistant national
bank examiner appeared at Riggs Hank
and demanded permission to take a
list of depositors who had loans of'
$5,000 or more in the bank and their
balances.
Mr. Hogan pointed out that former
Controller Lawrence O. Murray, in
1909. had issued an order prohibiting
bank examiners from taking lists of
depositors and their deposits from
national banks, on the ground that
such action was not proper, and that
if the. bank examiners became officers
of banks lat?-r. as they, frequently
did. such a list might be used to aid
a competing; bank.
"The bank refused the request of
the assistant examiner and wrote to i
tho controller, citing this order of;
I Controller Murray." said Mr. Hogan.
I Mr. Hogan insisted that Mr. Williams'!
! j reply to the bank was "discourteous,
! I indecent and disingenuous." One sen-:
Ijtence referred to the "alleged" order
j j of the controller's office. i
j "Vet Mr. Williams knew of this or- j
der, and it was not an allegation by j
the bank," said Mr. Hogan. j
Criticises Statement.
"This man is an adept in the most
dangerous form of falsification, the
telling of haif truths," he continued.
He told how the controller had given
| out a statement to the newspapers
asserting that four officers of the
j Riggs Hank had borrowed more than
? $5,000.000 of the bank in a period of
eighteen years.
"No officer of the bank ever bor
rowed any money without giving am
ple collateral security," he said.
"They did not borrow merely on their
own notes."
Mr. Hogan saifl that the figures pub
lished in the statement appeared large
and were intended to be so. He charged
that the controller in reaching this total
had added up all the renewed notes, and
? demonstrated to the committee, how,
by so doing, the total could have been
made very large.
"In an inconspicuous part of the state
Iment," continued Mr. Hogan, "Mr. Wil
j ! liams said that some of the loans have
i been renewals. Didn't he know that
t some of these loans were renewals?
j Couldn't he have found out about them
j with his examiners?
"The statement given out was calcu- j
jlated to do harm to the bank, if it
| ? could be harmed. It showed the com
i plete unfitness of this man for office."

lic occasions.

a member of a number of organiza
tions. among them being the Odd
Fellows. He retired from business
thirty years ago. and since that time

one of the founders of the first Lu
theran church in the District.
