II the Committee Prejudiced Against

The report that an informal notice
had been given by the Garfield
National Bank to the Harlem River
State Bank, at 2007 Third avenue that
Il would no longer act as its Clearing

Harlem Bank secure another agent. has
proyed a great surprise to the uptown
institution.
Cashier Hinckley. OF the Harlem River
Bank, said to an Evening World' re-
porter this morning:

A RECEIVER APPLIED FOR
Commercial Loan and Trust Com
pany of Philadelphia in Trouble.
''Thc Evening World" Exposed Its
Queer Methods in This City.

As a final result OF THE Evening
Worlds expose OF the Commercial Loan
and Trust Company's method of doing
business, the following advertisement
was printed in this mornings papers:
Commercial Loan and Trust Company. -Appli-
cation was made yesterday afternoon for receiv-
pany OF 1880 Arch street. rhlladsiphla, r. The
Company Ia Incorporated under the laws Of West
virginia. Its authorized capital Is $500, 900. OF
which. It has been said. iio5, 900 has been paid
In. The Company has done 4 general brokerage
and loan business and has a branch once in
Pittsburg, Pa. The application for receivers was
made by the bondholdera Of the Company. whose
petition alleges that the Company only had 81 900
capital and its assets consist only Of the contri-
button Of the bondholders.
During the latter part of February,
THE Evening World told how this
Company, represented by Messrs. Clarke
and Johnson. was doing a thriving bust
ness in this city by preying on the
credulity OF poor people. 1t advertised
to loan money in small sums at Q per
cent, and its circulars distributed broad
cast contained an alluring prospectus
of the advantages to be gained by do
ing business with the firm.
An Evening World" reporter In the
guise Of a prospective customer, investi-
gated the methods of the Company and
found 1t was doing business in violation
OF the Banking laws OF the State. Peo-
pie who ~patronized II were subjected to
a steady, financial assessment with no
material gain In view-to them. Failure
to pay the assessment at the required
time meant confiscation of the sum al
ready paid. In fact, the methods OF
the concern were so shady that the at
%tention OF Bank Examiner Preston was
called to II.
Unable to stand the glare OF exposure
the Commercial Loan and Trust Com
pany closed Its doors In Harlem. and the
officers disappeared from public view.
Prior to this, however. II was learned
that the Company was about to start a
branch in Brooklyn. This little scheme
was promptly nipped in the bud by ex-
posure In the columns of THE Evening
World and since then, as far as can
be learned, no effort has been made to
resume business. The concerns main
office was located in Philadelphia.
Edward A. Noblett, who was at one
time the agent for the Commercial Loan
and Trust Company, in this city, but
who resigned his position, was seen at
his Office, 25 Broadway, by an Even
ing World" reporter thio morning.
II have had no dealings with the Com
pany since I severed my connection with
fusal OF The World TO handle any adj
yertislng Of the Company was enough
for me. and I resigned Immediately.
