THE MORNINO OREGONIAS, SATURDAY. DECE3IBER 1, 1906. MIS CLOSE FOR LACK OF MONEY "The Different .Store" 'IDS, WORT, Fifth, Sixth and Washington 2 o MAN KING Three Allied Institutions in Illinois Have Funds Tied Up. CANT GET THEM OUT AGAIN Chandler Puts Money in Real Estate and Electric Railway Bonds and Suspends, but Will Tay in Full. SCENE OF BANK FAILURE. Macomb is the county fieat of Mc Donough County, Illinois,- and. ia the site of the Western Illinois Normal School and inanufacturee of earthen ware, drain pipes, etc. . The. popula tion in 1000 was 6375. Colchester ds in the same county, S3 miles from Quincy, and has similar industries as well as manufacturing several varieties of brick. The popu lation In. 1900 was 1635. Bardolph is. Beven miles from Ma comb and foas grain interests." The population In 1900 was 387. PEORIA, El.. Nov.. 30c Three bank, lng institutions in McDonough .County conducted by C. V. Chandler, of Ma comb, closed their doors today. Notices to the effect that the banks are short of ready cash, were posted on the doors of all the banks. This decision was reached yesterday on an examination of the books by Mr. Chandler him self.. . ', The banks are the Bank of Macomb, conducted by C. V. Chandler & Co., de posits of $450,000 and capitalized at $50,000; the Chandler & Imes Bank at Colchester, capitalized at $23,000 and deposits of $200,033, and the Chandler & Smith Bank, of Bardolph, capitalized at $-5,000, with $60,000 deposits. Cash Tied Up in Land and Bonds. The money of the depositors in all three banks has been invested through Mr. Chandler, the senior member of the private banking- firms. In McDon ough County real estate, and the im mediate cause of the suspension of the three institutions is given as a lack of reajy cash. The Macomb bank guar anteed the payment of the bonds of the Macomb & Western Illinois Klec trlc Railway and when the bondhold ers made a demand for their money they absorbed all the ready cash of the three institutions. The following notice appeared on the doors of 'all three banks, signed by C. V. Chandler and the other members of :the firms in the respective towns: "This bank is closed pending negotiations- subject to the conversion of tho property into ready cash. .The bauk is solvent and all depositors will be paid In full.' There is ample prop erty to meet all obligations, and all amount of time to convert the hold ings Into money.".. '' Treasurer of School and City. C. V. Chandler has been in the bank ing business in Maoomb for a quarter of a century, and in addition to his private holdings is treasurer of the Western Illinois State Normal School, of Macomb, and treasurer of the- city of Macomb. It is not thought either the state school, or .the city will lose by the failure of the banks. The state is protected by a trust company bond, and the city's deposits in the bank are email at this time of the year. Mr. Chandler made a statement to day setting forth in effect what was -stated in the notices posted on the doors of the banks. The liabilities are .'more than $700,000, with unincumbered real estate worth over $400,300. The mortgages are mostly on Central Illi nois farms and are- considered good. There was little show of excitement over the closing of the banks. In Colchester the major part of the de positors are miners.

United States Supervising Inspector Captain John Bermingham, after examining the evi dence in the matter of the grounding of the Pacific Mail liner Mongolia on Mid way Island, September 15, has ordered the ship's officers to appear before him next Tuesday to give further testimony. '. In the investigation by the local in spectors of hulls and boilers,' Inspector Bulger exonerated Captain Porter, com mander of the Mongolia, while Inspector Bolles decided the captain was as much at fault as Andrew Martin, first mate, and recommended the suspension of Port er's license for six months. Both inspec tors recommended the suspension of the first mate's license for six months. Captain Bermingham's action is un precedented. Heretofore it has been the practice of the supervising inspector to approve or reject the local inspector's decision.
