HE BLAMES DREW.

..

Comptroller Laooy's Statement of the Keystones Bank Affair.

AWARE OF ITS POOR CONDITION.

The report of Examiner Drew showed thafproperty of the Lucas estate valued at 8225,000 had been secured through the assistance of the United States district attorney, and that it was hoped more might be added to It. He added thnt the directors expressed desire to raise SHOO,000 more to put Into the bunk. He also stated thnt Marsh liud promised Lucas on his deathbed to continue the deception In the assurance thnt profits from Investments made by Lucas with tlio abstracted funds would replace the ontire amount.

Comptroller Lacey states that he recognized that the responsibility was a grave one, but that he determined to delay bcounse of promises that the amount would be made good by the directors, und thut un Immediate closing of tlio bank would proably cause renewal of the serious financial troubles und monetary stringency through which the country had but recently passed und produce wide-spread disaster. Nor could he have lawfully closed the bank, as it did not then appear that its capital was impaired.

He id entire confidence in Bank Examiner Drew, who was one of the oldest examiners, having- served under Comptrollers Knox, Cannon, TrcQh9lm and Laccy. lie urged the examiner to complete his examination and present a revised statement of the condition of the bank.

On February 18 he received this report, which disclosed an Impairment of capital of $129,000 but did not indloatc insolvency, as it still left tho assets of the bank 8375.000. The report stated that tho examiner was not fully satisfied with the coursc of Marsh and that he had for a day or two been forced to entertain suspicions of him. It stated thot a committee of the directors would shortly visit the comptroller.

The comptroller on Maroh 2 received a final aud formal Itemized report of the condition of the bank aud then levied un assessment of $250,000 on the association to make good the Impairment of the capital, announcing that unless It was met a receiver would 1)8 appointed. A committee from the bank had in the meantime assured the comptroller thut this would .be met within one week.

On March 14 the examiner reported that none of the amount had been paid in and that several of the directors elected in January had failed to qualify and did not seem inclined to zealously cooperate. He had also been unable to supply the vacancies in the board of directors. He added that the city treasurer had endeavored to aid the bunk as far us he properly could ly putting in checks dally as far us possible to cover the next day's drafts through other banks.

To this Comptroller Laccy replied on March 17 tliut unless the payment of the lurger amount of tho assessment was made In five days he would take peremptory action. On March 10 Mnrsh visited the comptroller and after a statement from him the comptroller ordered the bank closed. He also consulted the department of justice as to the arrest of Marsh, but was advised against it, as it was not thought a man who voluntarily confessed the Lucas dc.'ulcutlon and made a trip to Washington to give details would attempt to liee.

As to the delay in closing the bank, he had no power to do BO until an Impairment of capital and failure to make the same gocxi was shown, or he is satisfied of tho Insolvency of the bank. AB soou as this point was reached the bank was alosed. He also refers again to the disastrous effect that an earlier action would have had on the general finances of tho country in the unsettled condition following the financial troubles last winter, jffe delay in appointing receiver was only such as was necossary and usual lu selecting a proper man for the position.

Tho comptroller states very explicitly that Mr. Wanamaker, although holding 3,300 shares of tho bank which lie had received from Lucas as pledged certificates, never directly or indirectly suggested delay lu closing the bank or oppolntinent of a receiver, except In one telegram on April a. In which he said thut Marsh had Indicated good progress in securing subscriptions, and that ouc day's delay In the appointment of receiver would be advisable.

Mr. Lacey says he should not be blamed for allowing Marsh to remain In ollice so long after his confession. lie supposed that Drew and United States Attorney Read would do whatever was neoessary in the way of prosecuting Marsh if circumstances warranted 1L Mr.

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

Looey further says that Mr. Wanamaker never suggested delay In the appointment of a reoolver except to send nlm a telegraph April 29 Raying that no harm would be done by delaying the appointment twenty-four hours longer.

He closes by saying that Bank Examiner Drew's several reports did not, in Ills opinion, rollout the true condl-

It states that his first information wa» a communication from ISank Examiner Drew dated January 24, In which he stated that the accounts of the bank showed a hitherto concealed debt to its late pruBldent, Lucas, of 8000,00), which had been concealed by manipulation of the accounts for a series of years- by changing the accounts taken by Luous to the general accounts of depositors und so altering the individual accounts on the ledger as to make the aggregate credits fit the general account.

AN AWKItr. CALAMITY.

Itani.ix, .lunr l.".—A fearful accident is reported from Switzerland. A railroad bridge across the Moenichen, :i small alllui'nt of the Rhine, tit Stein, in tho canton of Basel, not far from tiermany, gave way Sunday under the weight of aii excursion train, crowded with throngs of people.

The long train was crowded with people on the way to attend a musical fete. Sixty persons were killed outright while hundreds were Injured. Two engines and tho first car plunged into the river and till the. passengers in the ear were drowned. Two cars remained suspended from the bridge. All the truiunmcn were killed. Thirteen cars were saved. The musical fete at Mucnchenstcln was abandoned as soon as the news of tho accident arrived, and hundreds of villagers hurried to the scene, to assist in rescuing the victims. Tho bridge was an iron skeleton structure which was considered well built and substantial. Tlvc only apparent reason for the eollupse of the bridge is that tho train left tlie rails aud threw its entire weight on one side of the bridge.

The gorge wus about !S0 feet deep and the water was deep and swift. The engines and car were entirely submerged and none of the passengers or trainmen were able to escape. The' bodies of these victims remained a long time In tho water before being readied hut finally the cur, which was badly crushed and splintered, was torn apart and the victims penned within released. Of the remaining cars all were more or less damaged, the forward one being almost suspended over the torrent below, having been thrown off Its trucks and lying olinost crosswise of tlio truck. All the others were derailed and not a passenger escaped without some Injury. At least a hundred were badly hurt und of these several, it Is feared, will di". The dead and wounded were taken to Stein. The calamity has stricken the people with horror. Relief trains with surgeons have been sent to the scene of the accident.

OUR BANKER.

Tht National Kiulilum Will Contain FortyFour Mart Aft«*r tfuly 4. WASIIINHTON, June in.—Another star will glitter in the national Hug July 4. Tills is not because of any recent admission to statehood, for there has been none. But the law requires that the admission of new state shall be signalized in the national banner from the independence day following the udmission. The new star which will find a place July 4 this year will stand for Wyoming. That vigorous young commonwealth came In after last Independence day by just a week or so. Idaho had been more lucky as the president had signed the bill admittlngiit the eveningof July 3,so it has had its star all the year. With the one added for Wyoming the stars will number forty-four. It promises to be several years before auy more territories are admitted Into statehood, so thut the emblem Is not likely to undergo further change for some time to come. In unofficial flags the admission of Wyoming has been recognized by its extra star for nearly the year past, and the grouping of the stars has been according to the indlvual flag makers, It Is left for the army emblem to fix tho grouping according to the government's idea. This is done In the order just Issued by the war department as follows. "The tlelil or union of tilt uutlonul tl i^ in use ill tho unny will, ou und after .July 4. 1891, consist of forty-four stars In six rows, the upper and lower rows tu hnvo eight stars, und the second, third, fourth und llftli rows seven Bturs each in a blue Held."

Every (lag floating us the sign of authority of the national government will henceforth conform to this order. The flags with less than forty-four stars and with the old grouping will not be at once condemned, for the government does not go to that extravagance. But us the new emblems are culled for the new 'order will be observed and the old Hugs will grudually disappear.
