day iii $4,000. President William Means was
arrested ut noon, charged with violating the
national banking law. Means's arrest creates
profounder sensation than anything that has
previously happened. His character has stood
so high that the announcement Of his arrest
was scarcely credited. Means has had lead

authenticated statement that tho examination
OF the banks books and papers show gross
violation OF the banking law in loans to officers
and others connected with the bank very
largely in excess of the limit allowed by law to
any one. 1t isaposSible that this wrong-doing
may have been carried TO such an extent as to
mperil the banks Solvency. A warrant was
issued this morning, but was not served in the
usual manner ont of regard for Means. District
Attorney Burnett notified him after twelve
o'clock of tho issuance OF the writ and arrange
for Means to 90 voluntarily with his bondsmen

President Means appeared this afternoon at
tho Office of United States Commissioner
Dorger, with Henry Ham, Patrick Il. Roach
and {. Nj. Holloway as sureticS, and gave
bond FOR his appearance in $4,000 The
charge against him on the warrant is the mis-
appropriation of upward of SEQ coo OF the
