A CHASTITY SIGHT.
The Undertak ers and Embalmers Anx
iOus-GrOund for Apprehension tha1
the Remains May Not be i'm Condition
to Display In New York.

ALBANY, August 5.-The undertakes and
embalmers who have immediate charge of the
body of the dead general are alert and not q
little anxious to-day. The jolting of the body
over the cObble-Stone pavements ON its passage
to the capitol had no good effect. The lower
jaw of the generals face is being kept in place,
it is believed, by strong rubber bands. The
face, as described last night, has the same
gh astly appearance. Every effort and means
known to their craft is being employed by
the embalmers and undertakes to pre-
serve the remains in such condition as
will make it both possible and proper to display
the remains in New York. Those in charge say
that there is no doubt but this will be DONE
But there is some ground for apprehension
in the city hall, New York, but obviously this
Is contingent upon the care exercised in trans
porting the remains over the pavements Of
New York.

The Record Made by the 4S4 Institutions
that Have Closed Up Their Business.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-In view of the repeat
ed statements of the enemies of the national
banking system to the effect that of the banks
whose charters expire during the current fiscal
year, nearly one-half will not renew, some of the
figures from the Comptroller's report may be of
interest. 1t is as well to pr imise, by saying
however, that the applications for renewal of
charters received at the Treasury Department
daily lead to the assertion that there is no basis
whatever for the statement that any considera-
BILE number of national banks in New York
State will adopt the State system instead of
continuing under the national banking act
Since the beginning of the national banking
system 100 banks have been placed in the
hands of receivers, and Ala have
voluntarily closed their business under the pro-
visions of the Revised Statutes, out of total of
3,261 organized since the establishment of the
system in February, 1863 Of the 100 failed
banks, s4xty-three have been finally closed of
these thirty four have paid depositors 100 per
cent on their claims, several have paid interest
in part or in full, and seven have paid stockhold
ers from 10 to so per cent One bank in Nevada,
whl9h failed ten or fifteen years ago, was con
sidered as absolutely wiped out A judicious
receiver. however, has succeeded in paying de-
positors in full with interest, and stockholders
100 per cent. of the amount subscribed with in
terest to-date, and a surplus is yet
to be divided. During the twenty
one years of existence Of the national
banks the loss to creditors has been about 49,
100000, an annual average loss of about $500, 600,
about 1920 of per cent loss on $780, 000, 600 of
deposits, which is about the aggregate constantly
held by national banks. The debts of the failed
banks amounted in all to $685. 49, 600 approved
claims. OF this amount 1923, 400, 522 has been
paid, about 81 per cent Of the thirty-seven
banks which have not yet been finally wound up
twenty one awaiting the results of litiga-
tion Receivers were appointed for eleven last
year.
1t is doubtful if any other class of business in
the world operating upon half the capital in
volved can show so excellent balance-sheet as
is shown by the national banking system.
