Washington.—A man went into tho
office of tile comptroller of the curren
cy thoroughly angry because he had
received In his moll w perfectly good
check, drawn on a solid bank for real
money. He wanted to know If there
wasn't “some way to stop this thing."
The officers of the department told
him there was not; that anybody who
had money In a bank had a right to
draw checks against It, payable to any
body at his pleasure.
The bank on which the check was
drawn was fairly Inundated today with
bushels of other checks of the same sort
which people brought In to’be cashed.
The man who drew tho checks has a
considerable account with the bank,
which explains why the bank officers
dissembled their real feelings.
The checks were for five cents each,
and went thru the mall to hundreds of
Washington people with a request to
“spend this nickel for car fare" and
visit the signet's place of business.
