In answer to an in- quiry, in explanation, Mr. Dawes said: “I have resigned because of my inten- tion to be a candidate before the peo- ple of Illinois for the United States senate.

Mr. Dawes entered the office of con- troller of the currency January 1, 1898, succeeding James H. Eckles, and was immediately confronted by the situation in the Chestnut Street na- tional bank of Philadelphia, which was one of the most complicated ever confronting a controller. He found it necessary, in the interest of the creditors of the bank, to oppose the general plan of a reorganization com- mittee formed of prominent citizens of Philadelphia, and for a time he was severely criticised therefor. His plan was followed, however, and it is now recognized as ha ng saved to the creditors of the bank a lien upon other property was not templated by the reorganization com- mittee, from which they probably will realize over a million dollars. which con- The administration of the control- ler’s office under Mr. Dawes has been conspicuously one of business, and this has brought to him the unstint- ed praise of banking and business in- | iend societies have a 1,100,000 a capital dinst 10 mem- h societie The ¢ er is, however, ut Swati cosa, ; Please, 1 have swallowed exclaimed a servant girl, run- nployer's study. “Never deep in he replied, mind, here’s wing one from the pin- Chicago Journal. “neve another,” dr. cushion.
