New YORK, Mar. THE Evening Post
says that it is learned that Pell. Simmons
Wallack and the other bank wreckers,
used the Asbury Park IN. J.) National
Bank in their checkkiting operations.
Sigmund Meyer, whose connection with
the wreckers has been alleged, was inter-
ested in the Asbury Park concern.
1t does not appear the bank lost anything
by the operations of the wreckers. from
the fact that there were business transac.
tons Of this kind referred to, led the National
Bank Examiner to inquire into the condi-
ton of the bank which resulted in the dis
covery that the president, George W. By
ram, had loaned the banks funds to him
self for use in real estate speculations to
the extent of $56 900. The banks capital
is $lO0, 600 and the law permits only ten
per cent of this amount 10 be loaned In the
manner Byram loaned it. Byram is max
ing the amount good and the bank will
doubtless be allowed to continue business.
