FEBRUARY 15, 1894 CLOSED THE BANK Examiner (ialbn ath in ('nurse Or the American National. Tlie National Hanking Laws Not Complied With. Depoaltors Will Not Loee a Dollar By the Move.

What Brought About Interference by Comptroller Kckela The Dunk's Condition. I'ncertaintles touching' the control of affairs of the American National Hank of this city culminated yesterday in Hank Examiner U. V. (ialhreath, of Kedalla, taking charge of the institu tion. At noon yesterday the following no tice was posted on the doors of the bank Thlf batik Is la the hands of toe Comptroller of the Carreacr, 0 GlMlKSAIH, Ixsmiuer In Charge.

Various rumors, some besrinir a color of truth and others without founda tion. which had sunnlemented the resignation of Cashier A. II. Crawford on Saturday lust, had prepared the buaiuess public for some wove, and the turn of affairs yesterday created, therefore, no great surprint. Although not given the publicity of print, yet it was generally known that F.xamlner (iallireath tlciiiuuded the resignation of I'aahicr Crawford on Saturday.

This determination ou the part of the examiner was founded on the existence of an amount of bad notes and pa er held by the bank, or at least held by the comptroller of Uie currency to be unbankable. i Added to this as dissatisfaction, touching the management of the bank, of eastern stockholders who are largely In the maj.irity together with a charge that the bank had not been conducted according to the laws governing national banks. Ik'lxisiU were received by the bank yesterday forenoon up to the hour that Kiaminer (ialbrrath aumrd control, hi nee the resignation of Mr. Crawford. T.

A. Miller, president the bank, served in the capacity of cashier and the duties of president devolvid upon the vice president. Ivan Link. Mr. tlalbrealh gave altcntidn to the books of the bank last week and after the resignation of Mr.

Crawford went to Hi. I.ouis. He returned yesterday morning and acting upon orders of the comptroller of the currency became the bank' temporary cuatodian. thk hank' arrAIKa. The American National Bank was established three year ago on mostly taatern money.

It capital stock was of which il.io.noo was held east of M. ouia. and A. II. Crawford who had been assistant rashier of Hollands Jiank.

was tiie prime mover in the enterprise and as made cashier, which position he occupied without in terrupt'nn until the late change. The bank never rcachei mnnrv making basis, bill on the other hand was held to lie be hi. id in addition to ita liabilit.es for individual deposits It was therefore evident that the stockholder had looked to liquidation as a way of bringing about a new condition of thing. A look into the book shows that of the deposit but were subject to call. The time deposits af forded the bank nnnortunitv toward off any trouble in the war of a run, so long as the iLside working of the In stitution were undisturbed by dissen sions.

However when the door were closed by the examiner there wa but caab on hand and ll.ooo of that hail been borrowed the dav before from the Kxchang hank. Thia was to bring the reserve fund up to the pee cent rule. No flurrv followed the posting' of Kxamlner tlalhrealh'a notice. Some few who had become disturbed by ntmor that followed ashler Craw fords resignation attempted to check out account but they were persuaded to leave deposit for the time. Yes terday when depositors exhibited fear that the "lis np of money In the bank would cause trouble other bank of the city announced that they were ready to honor check on depaakiu la the American National.

Thus plan would serve to draw to the other banks patron who had hitherto gone else where. Depositors are beyond all doubt safe. and payment dollar for dollar will not long be. delayed, no matter what torn in affairs the bank organiratWm may take. The stockholder sre liable for twice that amount of capital, irst of all call deposit must be paid ami then tiro deposit satisfied.

THK SAX' ABacr. No statement being triad by either the examiner nr the oflicer of the hank the exact assets cannot be fully disclosed.

THK UA.IAOrlMKNT. Evidently all the reasons which Comptroller bckcls has for putting the bank in the process: of litigation hare not been disclosed. It 14 known that for some time Kxaminer d'albrcath has been calling for certain changes in the management and that last week he became positive in his demands He held certain notes to be, in the opinion of the comptroller, technically bud that is, they might be realized on in time but they were not gilt edgeu. At times local stockholders in the bank have been borrowers, some of them heavy ones, but upon what col lateral or security is not known. month ago Kxamincr breath called upon these stockholder borrowers to pay up much of their ob ligations, and their failure to do so had had much to do in yesterday's action in closing the doors.

Many loans were declared to be bad. For instance, it Is known that a second mortgage loan of was made on the building on Commercial street, in which Station postofllce is located. There woa already a firat mortgage of (Jil.Oou on that building and its valuation to the extent of uoo is doubted by good financiers. Although Air. I raw ford was forced out of the i Rice of cashier he still retains In the bank stock to the amount of 15.0O0, and Is the largest individual stockholder in the institution llesides this stock Mr.

Crawford has a great many other interest, notable the Baldwin theater now in extensive litigation and city real estate. Whether his bank stock is freo of incumbrance is not a matter of publicity. President and acting T. A. Miller is president of the Greenfield Northern Railway and is an energetic business man.

Vice I'resident Ivan Link Is secretory and treasurer of the Springfield Milling Company, which corporation has been a money maker in wheat during the year. Messrs. Miller and Link together with C. M. Kversol, of the substantial Kvcrsol drain Company, are directors of the bank.

Tun ri'Ti nr. The future of the bank is a thing that time must determine, ll is the opinion of msny that the result will be liquidation and a complete retirement froiu the commercial held, while ther believe that the Institution will be reorganized with tried and sub stantial financiers at the helm. With the American National out of business but one national bank re mains in Springfield, the Central National. Klvo State banks are in operation. The I irst National, the oldest national bsnk in Sprinirlield, was merged into the American National on May of last year.

Its liquidation was completed nothing ago when un der direction of r.xamlncr lialbrealb the American National directors as sumed the last liability and closed Its snsirs Whatever may be the future of the bank it I certain that not a cent will be lust by depositors and that the funds will not be long tied up. There will be no occasion whatever for depositors to sell their claims at a discount. The bank was not closed tie cause of insolvency but because that the comptroller of the currency held that its orlicers had not complied with the national banking laws.

Come Straight to the NO VETO EXPECTED. An Audible Whisper About the Seigniorage Bill. President Clevelund Will nut Oppose The Sliver Measure If It lioes Through Congress. Wasuinqton, Feb. 11.

Congressman i Rsj ner, of larylnml, who has been recognized as an uuthorucd interpreter on tlie lloor of the house of the president's financial policy, said explicitly to day that if the present lllanil silver seigniorage coinsgo bill should puss congress Mr. llcveland would not veto it Mr. Rayner's single stutement is worth an ocean of gossip A few days ago he said that he thought that the president would return the bill to congress if It went to him. Since that declaration lie has been conspicuously identilied with Mr. Tracy and Mr.

Cockran in the discussion of compromise measures aud amendments with Mr. Bland. These compromises which sprang up Monday under such favorable auspices only to fail of adoption yesterday morning because of the refusal of the silver tuea to countenance, a further issue of short time emergency bonds, were said to be all that could save the bill from a veto. Hut now comes Mr. Ituyncr with the declaration, privately mado it is true but with seeming authority, that the president will not veto the measure.

This news has crept about and given much comfort to democrats who desire to go back to their constituencies in the guise of men who have done something tangible for silver. Mr. Kuynrr contemplates offering an amendment to the ticntling bill author izing the secretary of the treasury to issue ier cent Ikui Is for running ten 3 care in case tlie necessity should urisc.

As the proceed ings will not go in the records, and vi only senators can hear the speeches, there ran be no object In long addresses except to influence senators, snd it is believed that by the time the session begins there will be little no doubt a lo bow any of the senators stand.
