BUIND BY DEVLIN
Kansas City Bank Closes by
Order of Controller.
HAD .TOO MUCH BAD PAPER
Had Borrowed to Make TJy Impaired
Capital Due to landing Devlin
$100,000 Suffered Quiet
Run. for Months.
KANSAS CITY. July 20. The City Na
tional Bank failed to open Its doors to
day. The bank held paper of C J. Dev
lin, of Topeka, to the amount of upwards
of $100,000, and the failure Is the direct
result of the closing of the First National
Bank of Topeka, of -which Mr. Devlin was
the principal stockholder.
Some time ago the Controller of tho
Currency at Washington Instructed the
officers of the City National Bank to re
pair its capital. This was done by bor
rowing from a local capitalist. Following
the failure of the First National Bank
at Topeka the Kansas City capitalist be
came Insistent upon repayment of his
loan, and this demand caused the officers
of the City National to decide upon clos
ing their Institution.
The other bank in Kansas City which
was caught in the failure of tho First Na
tional Bank of Topeka was the American
National Bank, which Is said to hold up
wards of $200,000 Devlin paper. It was
stated authoritatively today to the Asso
ciated Press by a leading banker that
the other Kansas City Institutions would
not permit this bank to fall. There was
no appearance of a run on other Kansas
City banks at the opening hour today.
The City National Bank was organized
In 1800. and Is one of the youngest Nation
al banks In tho city. Its capital Is 5300,000,
and It has deposits of J1.476.61S. Its officers
are: Edward Crebo. president; John
Moore, vice-president; Charles A. Loomis,
second vice-president; James G. Strean,
cashier.
Make Good Ijoss or Close.
The bank was closed by E. B. Ames.
Bank Examiner, under Instructions from
the Controller of the Currency. The Con
troller yesterday, it Is said. Informed tne
officers of the bank that they must take
up $100,000 In bad paper at once or they
would not be permitted to open today.
The bank was examined last night by a
committee of local bankers, who reported
at a meeting early, today that Its affairs
-were in such shape that they
did not feel Justified in extending assist
ance. Though the National City Bank
was not a member of the local Clearing
House Association, the association, it was
stated by one of Its officers today, would
have extended aid had it not found so
much bad paper.
Although the holding of Devlin paper
upon which no immediate realization
could be made was the prime cause of tne
failure, it Is stated that the general knowl
edge that the bank held other bad paper
and was in a weakened condition had led
to a gradual withdrawal of deposits. At
no time had a run of any big proportions
been on, but It Is stated withdrawals had
been made quietly for several months, and
that within 60 days $600,000 had been taken
out.
Depositors Are Outside City.
The majority of the bank's depositors
are persons in medium circumstances,
two-thirds of whom live outside of Kan
.sas City. There was no excitement at
the doors of the bank when the notice
was posted today, less than a dozen de
positors appearing to withdraw their
money.
From another source It was asserted
that when the City National Bank was
expected to repair Its capital several"
months ago the needed funds were bor
rowed, not from a local capitalist, but
from certain New York banks, but what
Institutions It was not disclosed. Exam
iner Ames said today that it would be
impossible for him to talk at this time,
either regarding this statement or other
affairs of the bank. The bank officials
likewise declined to Issue a statement
now.
Later Edward Crebo, President of the
failed bank, said:
"Our bank had a large amount of C J.
Devlin Company's paper. This was of
uncertain value, and the chances to real
ize on it seemed so remote that we deemed
it better to close the bank and liquidate
its accounts. Our depositors were mostly
In country towns. "We did not carry much
Kansas City money. I can give no figures
of the bank's condition."
Mr. Crebo. who is a railroad con
tractor. Is also president of the Citizens'
Bank of Eureka. Kan., and the First
National Bank of Toronto. Kan.
The City National Bank has -had a
varied experience. In Its five years ex
istence It has had four sets of officers,
and upon numerous occasions the Con
troller of the Currency has called upon
Its officers to repair its capital or botter
conform in other ways with the banking
laws.' It was organized in 1900 with a
capital of $250,000. Last Winter the cap
ital was reduced to $200,000. Later the
capital was Increased to $300,000. charging
off all -their surplus and $30,000 of their
original capital. It now develops that
this did not take out all the bad paper.
Directors Save Another Bank.
Another Kansas City bank that held
Devlin paper was the American. C S.
Jones. Its president, stated today that
530..000 Devlin paper, held at the time
of the Topeka failure, had been pur
chased since then from the American
National Bank by its directors. Thus
there was no cause for a run. Indeed,
it was announced by a member of the
Kansas City Clearing-House that no
other Kansas City bank would be per
mitted to fail In case of a run which
was not expected, and that the Clear-ing-House
would gladly have aided the
City. National Bank had it not been
found that the latter carried so much
bad paper.
Tho Citizens' National Bank, of Eu
reka. Kan., and the First National
Bank, at Toronto. Kan., both of which
were headed by Edward Crebo. presl
dent of the City National Bank, had ap
parently not been affected by the Kan
sas City failure up to the closing hour
today. Telephone messages from both
points stated that the banks would not
close.
Has Tot Exceeded Limit.
WASHINGTON. Jui 20. The Acting
Controller of the Currency. In a state
ment Issued today regarding tho closing
of the City National Bank of Kansas City,
says that no loans exceeding the limit of
10 per cent of the bank's capital are
ehown by the last report of the condition
of. the bank at the close of business on
May 29.
Receiver for Dead Company.
CHICAGO. July 20. To collect a Judg
ment for $U.CO0. said to have been lost In
speculating In a bucket-shop. Mrs. Aman.
da E. Stichtenoth. of Cincinnati, filed a
bill in the United States Court asking that
a receiver be appointed for the Central
Stock & Grain Exchange, of Chicago; the
Central Stock & Grain Exchange, of
Hammond, Ind.; the Hammond Elevator
Company, Sidmon McHIe. et al. The
court appointed a receiver for the Cen
tral Stock & Grain Exchange of Chicago.
This corporation, it is said, ceased to ex-
1st three years ago. The order of the
court does not mention the other corpo
rations named, nor McHIe. who is cred
ited with having had the principal Inter
est in the defunct corporation.
NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Commissioners Favor the Installa
tion of Modern Apparatus.
It developed during a meeting of thj
Are committee of the Executive Board
last night that it was the intention soon
to examine into the question of Installing a
complete new ft re-alarm system through
oat the city, based upon modern princi
ples, with a strong likelihood of the idea
being adopted, as it seemed to meet with
the approval of all the fire commission
ers. Including the Mayor.
The request of Chief Campbell for two
additional permanent linemen was grant
ed, and they will be supplied from the
eligible list of the civil sen-ice.
The sum of $300 will bo. requested from
the City Council in order properly to en
tertain the convention of Pacific Coast
Firemen, which will be held in this city
September 12 to 15, inclusive,
Ererdlng and Farrell were awarded the
contract for supplying the department
with five tons of country bran at 520 a
ton. 5f tons of timothy hay at $14 a ton.
27 tons of white oats at $24 a ton, 32 tons
of straw at $8 a ton. 300 tons of oil meal
at 2 cents a pound, and 200 tons of Liver
pool salt at 3i cent a pound. The contract
runs for three months.
It seems that only one bid was received
for furnishing tho department with horse
feed, hence a committee was appointed to
investigate the reasons for the apparent
lack of Interest, it appearing that propos
als had been regularly invited.
It was resolved also for the Mayor and
fire committee, accompanied by Chief
Campbell, to pay an official visit to all the
fire houses under control of the depart
ment, and acting under this suggestion
the first trip will be taken a week from
next Sunday, upon which occasion all the
houses on the East Side will be inspected.
Bast Side Site Unchanged.
At a special meeting of the School
Board yesterday afternoon, called for the
purpose of taking action relative to sub
mitting the question of a change of the
present location of the EastSlde Hich

motion of Director Wittenberg was lost,
and the school will remain where It is.

struction of the building was awarded to
John Manning at 10 cents a cubic yard.
About SOCK) cubic yards of earth arc to be
removed for the foundations.
The building committee was instructed

halt
SPEAKS FOR DRIVING CLUB
A. C. Lohmirc Praises the Riverside
Drive Highly.
"The Riverside Drive, or. as It is bet
ter known, the old White House Road,
is being sprinkled and put into first-class
condition for driving." declares A. C
Lohmlre. chairman of the Driving Club.
"The road is in bettor shape, the streets
and bridges are better than ever before.
and we invite the public and especially
the visitors to the city that want a nice
drive to take this scenic drive. The
Driving Club has no objection to auto
mobiles running over the road, if they
will regard the rules of the road and the
law. We don't want to be understood as
saying that they all do not regard the
law or rules of the road, for there are
a great many conservative men running
automobiles, but there arc some that have
no regard for anyone, and it is only a
matter of time when they will kill some
one or get themselves Into trouble."
CHICAGO STRIKE IS OFF
l Continued From First rase.)
mcnt store drivers and the railway ex
press drivers voted to call off the strike
and seek their old positions In the morn
ing. It is expected that about 60 per cent
of the department store drivers will be re
Instated and the express drivers declared
tonight that they believed that about 103
of their number would be taken back. The
express companies have declared all
through the strike, however, that not
one of the men. who struck would ever be
reinstated.
Tomorrow the truckdrlvcrs and one or
two smaller unions will voten the ques
tion of calling off the strike, but there is
no doubt that they will decide to seek
their old places again. The officials of the
Teamsters' Union declare that they ex
pect such action to be taken.
The only concession that the men have
gained by going back to work is In the
case of the lumber-drivers, the right to
wear the union button. In the case of all
other unions, the men by seeking their
old places tacitly agree to the terms of
the employers, which were that only such
men would be taken back as were needed
after the nonunion men had been pro
vided for. and that the question of wear
ing the union button should be left to the
decision of the individual employer.
Cost of Southern Coal Strike.
NEW YORK. July 24. Testimony has
been gi-en- at a hearing before Commis
sioner of Licenses Keating in this city to
the effect that the United Mineworkers
of America had spent more than S1.S30.O00
In an effort to win a strike which began
In the bituminous coal mines of Alabama
and Tennessee a year ago. The state
ments were made by General Labor Agent
Hugh Dewltt. of the Tennessee Coal. Coke
& Railroad Company.
The statements made by Dewltt were
brought out in hearing complaints against
two large employment agencies in the
city, which have been engaged in obtain
ing men for the mines. The charges
against the agencies are to the effect that
they engaged men and rent them to the
South under false pretense, restraining
then on the trains en route against thJlr
will. One witness was the wife of a ma
chinist. She told of going with her hus
band and a carload of men who broke the
windows of the coach at Birmingham and
made their escape.

bakers' unions in America, calling upon

that mav result from state or municipal

Nearly One Thousand Persons Come
to Portland on Account of
the Meeting.
The Lewis and Clark Dental Con
gress which ended last night with a
reception at the American Inn was at
tended by 55 delegates from all parts
of the United States, and those pres
ent expect It to be a bigger and better
convention than that which' will be held
by the National Association of Dentists
next week in Buffalo. The promoters
of It. who were not to be outdone when
railroaded out of the National conven
tion at St. Louis last year, feel Justly
proud of having been so successful.
With the delegates came several hun
dred ladles, and the exhibits of dental
supplies In the Armory brought over
100 attendants, approximately 1000
persons having come here from all over
the United States.
Those present at the congress are
anxious to make it annual on account
of Its success. This will probably bo
done, and It will hereafter probably bo
called the Pacific Coast Congress,
though the attendance. Judging from
the men who came here) will be from
all parts of the United States.
At the reception at the American Inn
last night the size of tho congre

ALBANY. N. Y.. Jury 20. The Assem
bly today, by a vote of 73 to 63. saved Jus
tice Warren B. Hooker from removal
from the Supreme Court on the charges
concerning his connection with appoint
ments in the Fredonla postofflce and with
the "Wlrtner Judgment." affecting prop
erty of the City of Dunkirk, owned Joint
ly by himself and State Tax Commission
er Lester E. Stearns. Forty-one Republi
cans and 35 Democrats voted for removal.
SS Republicans and nine Democrats
against removal. The action of the As
sembly obviated the necessity of a vote
in the Senate. The majority was In favor
of the resolution, but the law required
10) affirmative votes to pass It,
The question came up In final form
when Chairman Fish, of the committee
on Judiciary, presented a concurrent reso
lution calling for the removal of Justice
Hooker on. the ground that he "had been
willfully guilty of corrupt, unlawful and
immoral acts, which have tended to bring
and have brought the said office of Jus
tice of the Supreme Court and the admin,
titration of Justice into contempt, and
which shows a personal unfitness on the
part of said Warren B. Hooker to hold
and occupy the office of Justice of the
Supreme Court."
