Knight, in company with Senator Per- kins, had a pleasant visit with the president today. Mr. Roosevelt greeted Knight warmly and called to Him ‘to | join & group while the president ham- mered into them the necessity for forti- fying the Hawaiian islands immedi- ately. “I want you to hear this,” said Roose- velt. “I want all Pacific coast people to get together and use their infius ence to push through these appropria- tions.” Knight was smiling when he emerged. He was asked if the presi- dent had approved his bid for perma- nent chairman of the national conven- tion, but was noncommittal. Several national committeemen have suggested that Knight would make a fine pre- siding officer and they are now at work spreading his boom. Knight will re- turn to California tomerrow. President Roosevelt is taking the keenest interest in the question of for- tifying the Pacific coast from any pos- sible invasion of a foreign fleet. Not only has the chief executive made strong recommendations in his message to congress for a large appropriation for this purpose, but has talked the matter over with members of congress of the Pacific coast states. Today Representatives Hayes and Kahn had occasion to visit the White House to present some friends. After vecelving them the president turned to the two Californfa members and ex- plained to them the necessity for forti- fying not only the Pacific coast, but the Hawalian islands as well, He said he realized that more money should be appropriated for the building of yards and docks on the Pacific coast, especially in view of the approaching visit of the fleet. He made it very plain to them that it was his desire that they should do everything in their power to convince congress of the necessity for large appropriations for the proper fortification of the western coast. That all the members of California delegation are taking the same keen interest in the question goes without saying, and it js their purpose to do all they can to bring whatever pressure i necessary upon congress in, order that | (h:‘ nr@dflta wishes my-be carried 9.—The | ene- | BARKERS SCORE LAX METHODS OF THE COMMISSION. ‘Say Palpab]e Violations of | the Law Have Been Winked At DUTY IS NOT DONE| i i i | | | Condition of California Safe Deposit Due to Gross Negligence TO ACT FOR ITSELF | | Clearing House May Ap- point an Examining Committee Bankers throughout the city united in denouncing the bank commission yesterday for the lax methods which| ad allowed to exist such an amazing | system of finance as flourished in the| California safe deposit and trust com- | pany. The blame for the present con- dition of affairs was laid at the door| | of the commission. Charges were! made that the commission had winked | at the grossest violations of the law,f and had attempted to sustain a shat-’ tered institution. Former members of the commission were also denounced, as the disgraceful condition of affairs has continued over a long period. Homer S. King, president of the clear- W. A, Palmer, | | i { ing house, and secre- - tary of the savings banks association, grilled the commission on behalf of the two organizations they represent. Their denunciation was concurred in by every conservative banker in the city. “The bank commission has been noth- ing but a political dumping ground,” said King. “If the commission had done its duty suéh a thing could never have happened. . Every conservative bank courts investigation, but it wants a real investigation, not a sham.” W. A. Palmer expressed practically the same view. “The work of the bank commission as refleeted in this failure,” he 'said, “reduces itself to a farce. The matter has been before the savings banks as- soclation and we have given considera- tlon to methods of bringing about a more rigid examination.” In this connection both the clearing house and the savings banks’ associa- tion have taken up the suggestion that they maintain an examining committee of their own with a corps of expert ac- countants. This is the plan lately adopted with great success in Chicago. The clearing house committee keeps a check on every bank in its jurisdic- tion, and the slightest infraction of the law or any move out of the path of conservative banking 1is quickly ex- posed, and the bank ordered either to correct its methods or to close. Among the conservative banks busi- ness went on as smoothly as ever ves- terday. Withdrawals were smaller by far than the deposits and there was, nothing to show that anything unusual had occurred. Bankers generally ex- pressed the view that it was better to bave the reckless institutions weeded out. % = For some time suspicion, has been directed toward the California safe de- posit. and trust company. - It is felt that its ellmln(\ion “from the field will clear the banking atmosphere.

Edward Hanna of Rochester coadjutor ‘archbishop of San Francisco. Cardinal Gotti, altlhough admitting that Dr.- Hanna was first on the list of candidates for that diocese and was strongly recommended By several car- dinals and arghbishops, said Dr. Hanna was . described as professing modernist principles, as would appear from some of his writings, and that, therefore, his appointment had been held in abey- ance. Archbishop Riordan defended Dr. Hanna, saying that these reports were incorrect and that his attitude had been greatly exaggerated. The propa- ganda will receive further stestimony on. the subject. AOKI THE SCAPEGOAT FOR BROKEN TREATY PLEDGE Ambassador Recalled Following Re- pudiation of Promise to Exclude Japanese Immigrants TOKYO, Dec. 9.—Regarding Viscount Aoki's return from Washington prom- inent papers here allege that the ‘am- bassador promised President Roosevelt a treaty for the exclusion of immi- grants. but that his government subse- quently repudiated this promise on the ground_ of Viscount Aoki's irresponsi- bility.
