"There had been no open run on the

excepting the withdrawal of two large

President Moore. "Up to the last day

actual value waa much more than could
be realized immediately to meet demands.
He said he would for a rush sale place
their realizing value at about $250,000,
on a conservative estimate.
Wheat Xada Valuable,
While there 1. a question as to the
propriety of giving out any estimate
of their value prior to offering them
for sale, Mr. Moore was willing to say
that in his opinion they should bring
that amount under any circumstances.
It Is possible they will realise more
than that sum.

"I feel that too much censure Is being
thrown upon Mr. Lytle and Mr. Frlede.
They tried to do their duty as directors
and were at the bank nearly every
morning. If they made some mistake,
in judgment there were greater mis
takes made by myself, and I know Mr.

"The attitude of Mr. Lvtle and Mr.
Frlede toward the bank 1. better than
they are given credit for. They have
assured me that they will stand In with
me and help and I think that they will
do so. But with the severe criticism
and blame that Is being directed arainst
them it makes them hesitate to throw
off their coats, so to speak, and get In

exonerated to a large extent. '

PACKERS' TEAMSTERS ill
Drivers for Big Meat Concerns in Windy City Strike in
Sympathy With Butchers' Employes Public
Sympathy With Union Men.
(Jon rail Special SerTtee.)
New York, Aug. 29. Obeying a gen
eral order to strike In sympathy with
the butchers' teamsters' strike the
union teamsters on the livestock
wagons of the big Chicago packing con
cern, walked out today.
Officials of the teamsters' union
stated this morning that the Inside men
would not be asked to quit and declared
that there would be no necessity of
such action. The union men are well
provided with funds and are confident
tha thev ran win their strike without
aid from anyone other than the team
ster, themselves.
The Mg packers who were .truck
hardest by the walkout are optimistic
and say that they are not affected In
the least by the trouble. They say that
plenty of good men can be secured to
take the place of the strikers and that
bv tomorrow their business will be car
ried on as usual.
Public symathy Is with the strikers
and unless they grow weak-kneed and
return to work or start violence It Is
believed here that they will win. Vio
lence of any kind would be fatal to their
cause, however, a. they do not have the
sympathy of the public to such an ex
tent that unnecessary trouble would be
countenanced.
