May Go To Supreme Court. That the present case may go to the supreme court semed entirely probable, for both sides apparently are preparing to fight to the end. The bank last night gave out a lons statement reviewing charges made by Mr. Willlams Monday. The bank called attention to the announce- ment made by Mr. Williams that in- bank had diy- closed irregularities and that the d« partment of justice had engaged the services of I.ouis D. Brandeis some weeks ago, as special counsel in the case. The statement recited that at noon Monday Attorney Gen. Greg ory stated that Mr. Brandels had no heen engaged by the department of justice and that the statement that he had been retained was incorrect at the time it was made. Mr. Gregory's Statement.

The bank also declares that Wil- liams has no foundation for the al- legation made in the letters that it has tempted young men and women to ruin through speculation. Never Advised Speculation. “The fact is,” says “that the officers of this bs o never advised or encouraged any per- son, man or woman, young or old, to speculate imkstocks or buy stocks for investment and the comptrolier's in- sinuation to the contrary is a gross perversion of the truth, of which no officer of the government ought to be guilty, with respect to any mat- ter and especially the comptroller of the currency be guilty of it for the purpose of injuring a bank in the public estimation.” The statement points out that ficers of the bank who held s on the Washington Stock voluntarily gave them up in cause they believed the federal re- serve act might forbid an officer of a bank acting as a broker on a stock exchange. of- ats Mrs. A.
