8ecretar> of the Treasury Says Failure
isolated Case of Financial
Weakness.
WASHINGTON, P. C. July 7.-8ecre-
• tary McAdoo. In a ataement tonight, d«-
' ciared that the general banking condition
* to Pittsburg as well as In the entire oouu-
*• try waa strong and that he expected no
further trouble as a result of the failuie
of the Pittsburg First-Seeond National
Bank
"The failure of the Pittsburg bank is
■imply a sporadic case ot unsound bank-
ing and has no other significance," the
Secretary said
He added that the receivership for thl<
Institution removed a long-standing "sore
•pot' in the Pittsburg situation, leaving
the general condition in that city sound.
The secretary will make a sweeping in-
vestigation of tile causes ot tile failure
ot the bank and probably will call upon
the Department of Justice to assist tha
treasury In unearthing any possible ir-
regularities in connection with the col-
laps*.
It developed tonight that one fact which
drew the critical attention and suspicion
of the Treasury Department to the
tank's condition was a discrepancy of
nearly $2,<100,000 between the sworn report
to the Comptroller of the Currency as to
the tank's condition on June 4 and what
shoe Id have been a true copy of this re-
port published by the bank in the papers
of Pittsburg. The law requires every
bank to publish its reports to the Comp-
troller of the Currency in response to his
call, in local newspapers so the public
may know the facta.
The report to the Comptroller showed
assets and liabilities aggregating $39,-
097,347.10 each, while as given to the
Pittsburg newspapers for publication the
report placed theso totals at 938,103,886.39,
the 11,896,460.71 difference representing re-
discounts or borrowed money. Officials
declared this was illegal.
Reports to the department indicate that
tre-third of the $3,400,000 capital stock
of the bank has been impaired and that
the surplus and profits have been wiped
out. While details are lacking, oattmates
based upon the last report to the Comp-
troller of the Currency, Indicate that at
this rate the losses might reach $3,000,000.
SECRETARY MWDOOS STATEMENT.
Secretary McAdoo issues this state-
ment:
"The acting C ,'tx £ ".idler of the Currency
took charge of the First-Second National
Bank of Pittsburg today because its di-
rectors at a meeting held in Pittsburg
yesterday, expressed their inability to
make good an impairment of its capital
and decided that the wise thing for all

interests was for th# acting comptroller
to take th# situation In hand Th# Pitts-
burg C'learinf House Association, which
has tad the matter under consideration
for several days had, in the meantime,
also decided that It was inexpedient to
fvirntsh the amount of assistance required
to keep the bank going.
LIQUIDATION INEVITABLE
"This bank, which was handed down
from the last Administration, has for
rome time been a sore spot in the local
ritual ion, and its liquidation became in-
evitable.
"The Kuhnt of Pittsburg were lnter-
«?ted In the Flrst-8econd National Bank
Hid slso In the First National Bank of
McKeesport. The latter closes Its doors
a* a result of the former's failure. The
general banking condition in Pittsburg
is Found and no further trouble with
banks Is expected.
"The acting Comptroller had no alter-
native In the circumstances but to take
charge of the First-Second National Bank,
'n order to prevent the withdrawal of
large deposits which already had begun
and to secure for the small depositors
equal treatment with the large one#.
Everything will be done by the acting
Comptroller to further prompt liquidation
the bank*# asset# so that the depoal
torn may be paid with the least possible
delpy.
COUNTRY'S FINANCES GOOD.
"The recent reports of the National
banks to the Comptroller of the Currency
show a sound and strong condition
throughout the country. The failure of
the Pittsburg bank Is simply a sporadic
case of unround banking and has not
other significance. '
The critical eyes of Government exam-
iner.' had b»>en on the First National
Pank of Plttaburg for several years and
en the consolidated First-Second National
Bank ever since the amalgamation In
March. Suspicion was increased when
it was discovered by June 4 report to
the Ccmptroller of the Currency that the
legal reserve of the institution was de-
ficient by $2,145,000 and that the state-
ment of the condition of the bank as pre-
sen ted to the Comptroller and as pub-
lished In the newspapers were different.
BANK'S .TUNE STATEMENT.
The sworn report submitted to the
Comptroller June 4 showed resources and
liabilities as follows:

RKPORT OF M'KEESPORT BANK

plus and profits, J569,B00: Individual de-

After working for weeks to prevent, If
possible, a receivership for the Flrst-
Pecond, officials declare they gave up the
attempt In despair only after It hecnm*
known that hi* depositors of the hank
who had heard rumors of its precarious
ccndltion bad begun to withdraw their
deposits.
Tn order to place the little depositor# on
the same footing with the big one* and
accord them equal protection, the off I
clals decided to place the Institution un-
der Government control.
Officials of the "Wilson Administration
disclaim responsibility nf the merger of
the First and Second National Bank-' "f
Pittsburg. They declare tin consolida-
tion was authorized by the previous Ad-
ministration and that al ri.ich the Mtnni-
gamation was not actua''v accompli-hen
until March 17. Seeretdiy McAdoo bud
nothing to do with it.

atant « with difficulty. He Insisted that
he did not know Lumar had telephoned
Ledyard In the uume of Representative
Palmar to make an uppolntmeut for him,
but he believed when he went to Led-
> aid's house that Hunator Btone had tele-
phoned to Ledyard He supposed then,
he said, that l.uuiar had full authority to
represent Stone.
BKKVICKS W10RK GRATUITOUS.
To all the questions of the committee
LftUttrblch insisted that )ie did not look
for pecuniary reward in carrying Infor-
mation to the Morgan firm or In con-
ferring with Mr. Ledyard over the pro-
posed agreement between Democratic
leaders and the Morgan Interests.
"My only hope was for restoration to
the good graces of the people who ap-
parently had gotten togteher to destroy
me," he said.
Lamar was present throughout tho
day's sessions and was held for tonight's
meeting of the committee at which he
had asked permission to make a state-
ment. Both he and lAUterbach announced
that they would waive any immunity
from prosecution.
The lobby committee planned to finish
the ljimar-Lauterbach testimony tonight
and to take up the wool and sugar lobby
investigation tomorrow. It Is believed
the Mulhall letters, which will form the
l>asis lor an Investigation of the activities
of the National Association of Manu-
lacturers, would not be reached until
Wednesday or Thursday.
STATEMENTS ARE CONFUSED.
At the night session, Chairman Over-
man asked Ijauterbach how he explained
his statement today that he knew of no
telephone Impersonations until Repre-
sentative 1'almer testified before the com-
mittee a few days ago, in view of his tes-
timony before the committee on June 18,
that he had heard of telephonic imper-
sonations of Representative Riordan. The
witness insisted that he infant this after-
noon that he had not heard of anyone
Impersonating Palmer.
Lauterbach testified Charles Steele o(
the Morgan Firm, toid him of "Repre-
sentative Riordan" asking that tin- Mor-
gan firm employ Ijauterbach to protect
Its interests. A few minutes later he
amended his testimony stating it was
J. Sargent Cram, instead of 8teele.
Lauterbach was questioned closely
about Lamar's statement that Senator
Stone had suggested to Lewis Cass Led-
yard that h6 (Lauterbach) he employed
by the Interests.
The witness reiterated that at the in-
terview between him and Ledyard, Led-
yard had asked permission to call up Sen-
ator Stone to verify Lauterbach's state-
ment that he was representing Stone.
SENATOR STONE ASKS QUESTION.
During Senator Reed's cross-examina-
tion Senator Stone arose behind the com-
mittee table, saying he thought it a good
time to ssk some questions. Shaking his
finger at Lauterbach, he demanded to
know how it happened that after Lau-
terbach and ledyard had talked about
Stone being the "intermediary" in one
conversation, Lauterbach suddenly be-
came so cautious that ho suggested In a
later conversation tho Senator's name
need Dot be mentioned. Lauterbach de-
clared that Ledyard waa mistaken in his
account of the conversation and that he
had denied It was correct earlier in the
day.
"Why, it was not read to you," Inter-
rupted Senator Reed.
"Then deny it now," responded the
wltuess Bursting through the fire of
rupld questions. Lauterbach delivered an
eloquent description of his course.
DESCRIBES HIS COURSE.
"it waa a roaring farce for Lamar and
l^edyard and everyone-except for me,
to whom It was a deep tragedy," he said
"I wish now I had become a criminal
lawyer—perhaps 1 am a criminal lawyer
if we heed the suggestions made around
this tuole.
"I believe Morgan and the other lead-
ers did not think badly of me. Morgan
received me In his library and his firm
then held a note of mine for $5,000. It
becomes due In a few days.
While Senator Reed was propounding
a long question reviewing Ijauterbach'*
testimony, he thought Iamar tried to
prompt the witness.
"Stop prompting the witness, ' he
warned.
"I am not," responded Lamar.
"Don't say a word or we will have the
sergeant at arms place you where you
won't say a word,'' said the Senator.
"I am not to be browbeaten in this
fashion," Interrupted Lauterbach. "Mr.
Lamar did not speak to me."
SENATORS WRANGLE.
A moment later Senator Heed und Sen-
ator Nelson got Into a sharp wrangle
about the treatment of the witness. Sen-
ator Nelson declared the witness was be-
ing "bullyragged," and insisted upon the
examination being conducted in "decent
order."
"I resent that remark," said Senator
Reed.
"I don't eare If you do," Senator Nel-
son retorted.
"<>nee I tiMik oecaslon to he overly nice
to you," said Seuator Reed, "and 1 have
been sorry for it ever since."
Lauterbach told the committee Lamar
had excused his course, "fairly satisfac-
torily" to hltn. He said Lamar had told
him he acted as he did so that Ledyard
and the other conspirators against Lau-
terbach and himself might be publicly
exposed.
The committee concluded Lauterbach's
examination at 11:60 o'clock and adjourn-
ment was taken until 10:30 tomorrow
morning.

TEACUP FULL OF
ALDERMAN WARREN SAYS THIS
PROJECT MUST NOT BE OVER-
LOOKED BY VOTERS.
Alderman J. W. Warren of the Fourth
Ward, In brief remarks delivered before
a special joint meet lug of the beacon
Hill Improvement and Beacon Hill Moth-
ers' Clubs, held last night at the Heacou
11111 Jtapti*t Church, outlined the ad-
vantages that must accrue from the pass-
age of the proposed $a,4;rfUMk» bond Issue
and also a bond Nunc of <.".ot>,ooo to be
used for the improvement of public school
facilities. Speaking of the latter issue
Mr. Warren said:
"The Issuance of bonds amounting to
$(100,000 for the benefit of our public
school system Is Just as important to a
Greater «an Antonio as the passage of
bonds for street and other permanent Im-
provements. The people of Kan Autonlo
have signified their desire to lie a pro-
gressive people by the ballot lu the recent
municipal elections, and I shall be much
surprised If both issues do not pass by
large majorities. Of the nine Items sub-
mitted In the bond issue for permanent
Improvement there In not one that more
vitally affects the tature of our city than
does this question of providing adequate
educational facilities for our children. I
know there are some persons who oppose
us, but they don't realise the crowded
condition of the schoolrooms. Any fair-
minded man wants to give his children
the best advantages he can afford. There
will be no appreciable Increase lu the tax
rate resulting front the Issuance of bonds
amounting to $.'100,000, und future genera-
tions will reap a ten-fold reward."
Mr. Warren also advocated the passage
of the larger bond Isspe and urged his
hearers to go to the polls July 18 and
vote.
Following Mr. Warren's address. J. F.
Carl explained in detail the attitude of
the school board in regard to the pro-
posed bond issue. He said should the
bonds be voted, the proceeds will be
distributed throughout the city wherever
improvement of old buildings is needed
or wherever It is necessary to construct
a new building, lie said further that
the laws require in voting bonds au in-
crease of cents on taxable property be
authorized, but that In tho ease of the
school bonds an increase of cents
would cover the tax increase, including
the expense of creating a sinking fund.
Acting on a suggestion from Mr. War-
ren a resolution was adopted instructing
the chairman to appoint a committee
of three, It in turn to appoint other com-
mittees, to arouse interest In the election
on July is. The personnel of the com-
mittee will not be announced until later.

The contract between the city and the
