SCARED INTO IT.
The Ingham County Savings Bank,
at Lansing, Closes It's Doors.
Confidence of the Directors Shaken Be-
cause of Troubles a Week or So Ago
They Brace Up and Declare
That They Will Resume.
SUSPENDED BUSINESS.

SUSPENDED BUSINESS.
LANSING, April 2s.-The Ingham
County savings bank has closed its
doors. This is the bank on which the run
began April 10. At that time Bank Com
missioner Sherwood made q speech
which Gained the excitement for the
time. The closing of the bank was due
to it's inability to realize on securities,
and to the severe shock given
the confidence of the directors
by last weeks trouble. The di-
rectors met on Wednesday night
and decided that it would be best to
close the bank for time. They at
tribute the banks difficulties to the
unsatisfactory condition of the money
market as much as to the Barnes fall
ure.
The directors declare that the bank
is entirely solvent and there is ample
evidence that this is SO. None of the
other banks have experienced any diff
culties or unusual experiences of any
kind during the day. The Ingham
county bank had, according to its last
report, made December o, last, capital
of $50, 900, surplus of the same amount,
and $4,000 in undivided profits Its
deposits Wednesday night approximated
500, 900.
Notwithstanding the banks action
there was no excitement in local bank
ing circles The citizens have conf :.
dence in the solvency of all the financial
institutions of the city. The direct
ors of the Ingham county bank
realize that their decision not to
open for business Thursday was
entirely unwarranted, and are
perfecting arrangements which will en-
able the bank to resume business not
later than Thursday of next week. The
bank has not rediscounted dollars
worth of it's paper, and with s250,000
worth of gilt-edged securities will prob
ably experience no difficulty in secur-
ing the necessary currency.
Commissioner of Banking Sherwood
has completed his examination of the
Central Michigan savings bank, which
closed its doors last week, and his
statement shows the assets are suffi-
cient to pay depositors in full, even
though the Barnes paper should be
wholly worthless, a contingency in no
wise probable.
LANSING, May 2.-Owing to the fail
ure of the directors of the Ingham Coun-
ty savings bank to deliver to Banking
Commissioner Sherwood, in trust for
the depositors, bond for 100000 as
additional security, the bank was not
reopened Monday morning, although
the requisite money was secured Satur-
day
