Liquidation of the Chicago National Bank the Home savings Bank and the equitable Trust company All of Chicago was announced at 3 30 of clock monday morning by representatives of the Chicago Clearing House association after a session lasting eighteen hours. James b. Forgan president of the first National Bank As head of the Clearing House committee of the Chicago associated Banks gave Forth the statement. The assets of these institutions it was asserted were involved in Coal and railway properties of John in Walsh president of the Chicago National Bank. The statement was issued in the office of the first National Bank. It is As follows a the citizens of Chicago will undoubtedly be surprised to learn that the Chicago National Bank tile Home savings Bank and the equitable Trust company which have beep controlled managed and office red by John it. Walsh and his associates have concluded to wind up their affairs and quit business in the City of Chicago but they will be gratified to learn that after a thorough and careful examination of their affairs by the Chicago Clearing House Banks that All of the depositors of these institutions will be Paud in full upon demand the Chicago Clearing House Banks having pledged themselves to this result thus putting All the resources of the Chicago Banks behind the depositors of these three institutions. The difficulty with the institutions has been that their investments have been made in assets connected with the railway and Coal enterprises of John it. Walsh. These assets were not immediately available to meet deposits in the meeting of the Chicago Clearing House association began at noon sunday notices were sent members of the Board by or. Forgan after the condition of tile Banks and the Trust company had been Learned. Clerks were notified and fifty or More with their stenographers hurried to the first National Bauk. Behind closed doors tile Clearing House association began its work of finding a Way that might enable them to ride the financial sea in safety. That a panic would be Likely to follow was tile first thought of the committee. Resolutions were adopted and Heads of other Banks pledged themselves to give assistance. The amount involved in the failure would not be discussed by the committee members. In addition to the formal statement of the failure the following announcement was made signed by the Clearing House committee of the Chicago associated Banks a to the Public depositors of the Chicago National Bank the Home savings Bank and the equitable Trust company Are respectfully advised that their deposits will be paid in full upon Syndicate takes control. A Syndicate was formed during the Day to take Over the business of the three embarrassed financial institutions. As the first step All the old directors of the Chicago National Bank retired or. Walsh resigning As president and a Complete reorganization was effected. The Bank will be conducted by National Bank examiner c. In Bosworth who was elected president in place of or. Walsh. Under the direction of the Federal official the three concerns will go into liquidation As soon As possible after which their business will be distributed among the Banks making up tile Syndicate. Revelations were made of operations in connection with the Bonds of the Southern Indiana Railroad or. Walsh a pet Enterprise. These operations it is said led directly to the smash. Twenty six millions of dollars in de posits of Public funds and private accounts Are involved in the crash which through the prompt action of the conservative banking interests of Chicago claims for its victims Only or. Walsh Multi millionaire financier and Railroad magnate and his immediate associates in business. Greatest failure on record. Not in All the financial history of this financial country was there Ever such a trouble one involving so much Money and that has emerged with so Little Dis Aster to the Community at Large. There never was a Bank that quit before having such colossal deposits the three Walsh concerns carrying upwards of $26,000, xxx. Nearly $6,000,000 was paid out to the frantic depositors on the Day of the collapse. That Chicago escaped a panic that the financial revolutions which took place in a Day did not shake and Shock every Center of Commerce on the Globe was due to the heroic efforts of the other Chicago Bankers. At a moment More critical than at any period since the memorable Black Friday and the panic of 1895, they came to the Relief of or. Walsh a concerns. They not Only saved millions of dollars for Chicago depositors but they prevented a very earthquake which it is declared inevitably would have followed Hail Walsh a Banks gone straight to the will. Great crowds of depositors besieged the Chicago National and Home savings Banks tuesday. Outside the building in Monroe Street housing the two institutions gathered anxious persons the number reaching 1,000 at 9 30 and growing steadily after that hour. Two Long lines of Persona with Bank books formed on either Side of the Entrance of Tolje big Granite building where National and state officials were forcing liquidation of John in Walsh a financial enterprises. Many of those assembled were women who had come to withdraw the family funds while their husbands were unable to leave their work or were out of the City. From newsboy to a magnate. John r. Walsh started life As a poor lad so y ear ago. John in Walsh is 68 years old. And has lived in Chicago fifty eight years during which time he has climbed from the rank of Humble newsboy to that of Bauk and railway magnate whose Fortune has been quoted As High As $40,-000.000. Or. Walsh was born in Ireland aug. 22, 1837. When to years old his parents emigrated to America and settled in Chicago in the latter part of 1847. The boy had to work for his living from the Start and became an employee of j. Mcnally new dealer. As Chicago grew the business of newsboy became More profitable and Young Walsh proved Chi Cap. Telegraphic Brevi ties. Edward Lovett former sealer of weights and measures of Trenton n. J., killed his wife and then committed suicide. The dormitory of the government school for Pottawatomie indians at Nadeau kan., was burned the loss being $21,000. Judge Withrow of St. Louis ordered the grand jury to make a thorough investigation into conditions in the police department. Suit to Force the Peoples life and Accident insurance company into the bands of a receiver was filed at Louis Tille by h. W. Richardson a direct. John r. Walsh. Not Only industrious but capable in pushing his Trade. In 1861 he established a news business of his own and the demand for news from tile War which opened that year made the Sale of papers a paying occupation. The news business founded by or. Walsh afterwards developed into the american news company which supplied railway trains and country dealers with newspapers magazines and books and maps. Or. Walsh was a director of the company from its Start. In 1s82 or. Walsh founded the Chicago National Bank. Rival of Panama. Another Trade Boule to connect the Atlantic him in a i tie. The Panama canal will have Competition in the world of to Morrow. Another route will make an Effort to it it secure the immense tonnage passing Between the Atlantic and Pacific. The mexican government with the characteristic foresight shown by president Diaz has for a number of years been quietly preparing to meet this problem in an Effort to furnish a Short and economical route Between the two oceans. The isthmus of Tehuantepec is the route selected by this government. Here the distance from Ocean to Ocean is Only 125 Miles in a Bee line. The land is comparatively level and the Rise on the Atlantic Side is very gradual culminating in the Chivela pass at a height of 730 feet. From Here to the Pacific the descent is More abrupt. Although situated in the tropics the Tropic heat is mitigated a great Deal by the Strong winds which blow constantly from Ocean to Ocean. This route will greatly facilitate the Commerce Between the two Long coast lilies of the Republic. But this great undertaking was not begun f it a the a tit nil Trade alone. It is intended to compete for All that traffic which has heretofore gone around a ape Horn or across the Panama Railroad. The Tehuantepec route is 1.2lx Miles Shorter Between new York and san Francisco than the Panama route. The average freight Steamer would require from four to five Days to cover this distance. The managers of the Tehuantepec National Railroad propose to unload a cargo carry it across the isthmus and reload in two Days. It will probably require one Day for a vessel to pass through the Panama canal. This would make a saving of from three to four Days for the Tehuantepec route. The extra Cost of loading and unloading won Al lie made up by the saving of canal dues and expenses of the ship for that period. This route has been lost sight of in the enthusiasm Over the Panama canal. Business conditions have been favourable and less than the usual slowing up at the year end appears in the leading industries. New commitments do not equal recent High records but there is a satisfactory volume of Forward bookings and no diminution in current production and distribution. Mill Furnace and factory outputs exhibit increasing activity due in part to an Effort to overtake old orders. Receipts of Iron Ore have stopped for the season hut stocks obtained for Winter consumption make the greatest tonnage Ever stored Here. It re consideration was Given to plans for future construction and those adopted assure undertakings of unusual magnitude in railway ship building and factory enlargement involving enormous outlays during next year. Other encouraging developments appear in building improvements for mercantile purposes.
