Washington, April 5.—Declarations worn made, in two official Quarters today that general business conditions throughout the east were nearly nor mal. The central and western parts of the United States were said, at the same time, to be making rapid strides towards recovery and the prediction was offered that those sections soon would be in better condition than at any time since the prosperity inci dent to the war. Secretary Mellon asserted, on re luming from his first vacation since lie became head of the treasury, that the industrial and financial situation in the cast appeared "very satisfac tory.” The federal reserve board declared, in its official monthly bulletin, issued later in the day, that continued active business conditions in every section were showm by the maintenance of a high rate of industrial production. Few Failures Hcporte*. The bulletin also called attention to the unusually low number of com mercial failures reported In February, which, according to its figures, was the smallest since September, 1920. The total number of failures, the re port showed, was 44 per cent less than in February, 1922, and 54 per cent below the record reached in- Fe cember, 1921, near the height of the deflationary process thrcugli which the country went. There was a marked decline in the number of fail ures in February as compared with January and Incomplete reports for March indicate another reduction. Some concern has been expressed by government •ftkjals recently re garding, marked tendencies towards inflation, but these were rTlscounted by the treasury secretary. He said that, while there undoubtedly was some speculation, as is true always during periods of prosperity amt ex pansion, it need not be considered dangerous. I.iltle Increase in Borrowing. M.-. Mellon’s views on this phase of! ;Iie situation were substantiated by I.- bub-tin which reported little in-i * , case in the borrowings from the fed • iui reserve banks. Commercial banks! which are members of the reserve system, however, have greatly Increas- ^ . il their loans and investiments. The , total of til* two Items tof assets i few weeks ago was something like | • .’3,TOO,n00, whereas the highest point icaclied by loans and Investments at die peak of the 1920 expansion was only $400,000,000 greater. it was explained that continued gold j imports have acted to build up the ,, serves of commerical banks, permit, them to maintain a low Indebtedness, to the reserve banks and at the same time allow thiem to make new loans ir. their customers without calling on i the rediscount privileges ’of the re-j serve banks. The reserve board re carded It as important to know that i he commercial banks, with the con-• > tiued inflow of gold, could meet lie extra loan requirements without I dling on the reserve banks for ad ditional accommodations. This statement was accepted ns a desire by the’ reserve board to call the attention of the commercial banks ! to prepare for the time when the sieady stream of gold cannot longer be counted on or when exports of gold may actually take place. Xo refer-j ence was made, however, to any ex- 1 pectation of »n immediate turn in the tide of gold.

Special llinpali-ll In The Outsits Her. IJncqln, April 5.—Old friendships were broken in tlie eapitol investiga tion today. While the architect, Ber tram G. Goodhue, sat In the witness stand, former Governor Mdtrlvle and W. If. Thompson of Grand Island clashed repeatedly with George E. Johnson, who has brought charges of Incompetency against the architect. All three had been friends of long standing and had served in complete agreement on five eapitol commission. Mr. McKelvie declared that the Johnson charges were really against tho eapitol commission and not aiainst the architect, who could not take any action without the board’s approval. lie pointed oift that not only had Mr. Johnsun been a ^member of tho commission, but also its technical ad viser, and that no decision had ever boon made that was not unanimous. Toward the end of the day the for mer governor himself tooft the wit ness chair. formation of timmiission. He began by explaining the forma tion of tho oapitol commission, which was given complete responsibility for the construction of tho new state house. Its members were Walter W. Head, president of the Omaha Nation al bank: W. K. Hardy, a furniture merchant of Lincoln; W. II. Thomp son, an attorney of Grand Island and former democratic national commit teeman; himself as governor, and Mr. Johnson ns state engineer. ■,V>xi to myself, I regarded Mr. Johnson as having tho greatest re sponsibility,” he declared. "This was because of his training as an engineer. I did not know at that time that en gineers and architects are entirely different breeds of cat and dog. There was never a moment that I did not assume he was ‘on the job, and the commission relied upon him for ex pert counsel.” Mr. Johnson’s contention is that the architect should have caught nil errors and that it was not ids own | duty to check eveVy action. He called tho attention of the governor to tlie numerous tusk* of the stnte engineer, which Includes road and bridge i building, drainage, Irrigation and many others. Never Asked Help. "Could I be expected, with all my other (Julies, to become responsible for work for which the state was paying an architect S25.000 a year, and with 50 expert advisers?” Mr. Johnson asked. "If you had ever indicate^ that your work was too heavy, other ar rangements could have been made,” was tbo answer. Each gave the other a direct con tradiction on every topic from stone to building costs. Goaded, finally, by cross examination, Mr. McKelvie mado a final statement directly re ferring to the man who served throughout his administration a* sec retary of the department of public works, and whom he had always de fended against every attack. "Gentlemen,” Ije said, with his voice shaking with emotion, "I, have never worked with a man who gave more satisfactory service. Worked longer hours or in whom I had more confidence than Mr. Johnson. In this pr> sent situatron which he lias brought about, I confess 1 son utterly at a loss. I cannot understand it, rfhd I differ with hint diametrically. I believe him positively wrong."
