TWO CABINET OFFICERS DIFFER Attwraey Or era I llellevea Holdlaa; of Mark la Other C'oiasiaales by Beak Is lllrsral MeeVeagh Takes Caatrarr View. WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 Secretary Mac Vearh will not make any derision at this time upon Attorney General Wlckeraham report, which holds that the relation of the National City bank of New Tork and the National City company mav be a trans gresRlon of the national banking laws. Be cause of what 1 believed to be a difference of opinion between the two cabinet officers all the paper tn the case will be sent to President Taft at Beverly. That President Taft would review the case developed suddenly today as Secretary MacVeagh was ready to make public the attorney general's findings and his own d eels. on. For that reason he declined to give any intimation of hi position, but It is known that nearly all his advisers feel that If any definite attitude toward the extension of the influence of national banks Into trust companies and securities com panies were announced at this time, the whole question of financial legislation might be entangled when it comes up at the next session of congress with the mone tary commission report. Mr. Wlckersham's findings deal directly only with the reported holding by the National City bank of other bank stock througt, the medium of the National City company. The question of the interest of national banks in trust companies arose aa a consequence of three findings, and i oireoieo to in u.r I holdln of th Continental-Commercial ' N"-'-loJ nf Chicago. In the Conti- Ileniai ana commercial a rust cuuipKiir Attorney General Wlckersham takes the position that centralisation of banking companies might take place If national banks were allowed to acquire the stock; of other hanking Institutions. The Treas ury department for about ten years has been tacitly approving such relationship with certain limitations. In order that the national institutions might meet the com petition of state banks, which usually ojerate under very liberal provisions. Aside from the question of the public policy, Secretary MacVeagh's advices, it is said, that no provision of the national bank act has been violated.

Big Ransom Paid for German Engineer Held by Bandits Dr. Edmund Richter Rescued After Long; Captivity in Macedonia Captive of Grek Society. BERLIN. Aug. 23 A dispatch from Salonika. Turkey, today states thst Dr j Edmund PJchter. the German engineer who was captured by Greek bandits and held for a ransom of tZE..MP. ha been rescued on the Greek frontier and Is returning to Salonika. Dr. Kichter was enfrared in mapping on Mount Olympus, In the wild frontier region between Turkey and Greece, under the auspices of a German geographical society w hen he fell Into the hands of the brigand on May 25. The capture took pace Inside Turkith territory and hi escort of Turkish gendarmes was killed. Letter from La'.tos, the bandit leader, demand. ng a ransom were delivered by Turkish villagers. The German government acted promptly and a small army of Turkish soldiers was sent in pursuit of the bandits. At the same time representatives of the German government and of the geographical so ciety scoured the mountains, taking with them the gold for the ransom of the doctor. For weeks the search was without result. Recently news dispatch es stated that the pursuit had neen abandoned as It bad been learned definitely that Richter was held in Tiranovoe on Greek territory in the bouse of one iHvyannis. The news dis patches alto Insisted that the doctor, like Miss Ellen Stone, the American missionary who wa held by a Bulgarian band In 191 for IG6.O00. had been captured not by ordl rary mountain brigands, but by the Greek National society, the capture being or ganized by Captain Strati, formerly a Greek officer who once lived in America, and that the affair was an incident of the border warfare between detachments of Greok and Bu'garians. The ransom, it was assumed, wa destined to further the parti sun warfare breaking out anew In Macedonia.
