President Crespo then notified Sen

BIG BANK CLOSED.
NATIONAL BANK OF ILLINOIS HAS
SUSPENDED BUSINESS.
Unvarranted ana InJudicious Lonns
Are Given ms the Reason Of the
Failure BY Members of the Clear
ing House-Two Other hanks Go
Under AZ Resu1t-Mnny Million
Dollars Are Involved.

Chicago, Dec %. 50 The National
Bank of Illinois, one of the Oldest and
best known banking institutions in the
City, and with assets of between
twelve and fifteen million dollars, has
closed its doors. The following notice
was posted on the doors:
This bank is in the hands of the
national examiner. By order Of the
controller of the currency
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the directors of the bank;
the night before, after the bank had
been suspended from the clearing
house Of Chicago at a meeting Of the
clearing house committee held earlier
in the day.
Of the sixteen banks that cleared
through the National Bank of Illinois,
two closed their doors as result Of
the closing of that institution They
are E. S. Dreyer s. Co. and Wasmans-
dorf & Heinemann. These two insti-
buttons are mortgage loan banks and
savings societies in small way, and
their failure is not expected to affect
business. The assets of E. S. Dreyer
& Co. are given at 81, 100000, with liza
bilities of S1,2OO,OOO The figures for
Wasmansdorf & Hermann are. APP
+ dSSctS, lpOCO.OOO,
ties. 100000 The Security Title and
Trust company was appointed receiver
for both firms.
Six banks have made arrangements
to clear through other banks and the
balance of the sixteen are making SIM
liar arrangements as fast as possible.
The failure was great surprise in
financial circles.
The causes of the suspension, as
given in the resolutions adopted by the
clearing house committee are ''unwar-
rantable and injudicious' loans
through which the capital and surplus
of said bank is seriously imperiled if
not absolutely lost"
The suspension had but little effect
either in the wheat pit or on the stock
exchange Wheat, indeed. showed
strength after the opening at 5-Sc de-
cline. and the stock market was dull
and only fractionally lower.
One Of the leading bankers and
financiers of this city said to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter: ''The failure Of
the National Bank of Illinois has Gre
ated no disturbance of consequence in
financial circles here. One or two pri-
yate bankers, who were really nothing
but mortgage dealers, have failed.
But this is only a natural consequence
of shrinking real estate values"

The nocturnal Offices Of Christmas In
Bethlehem begin with pontifical
mass, celebrated in the Franciscan
church, which adjoins the old basilica.
On these occasions the robes worn by
the celebrant and his assistant are OF
the most gorgeous splendor This first
ceremony ends a little before midnight.
Immediately after the conclusion OF
the mass q long procession is formed
and begins It's march toward the grotto
OF the nativity. At the head of the
column is borne magnificent process
Slona1 cross, and following it come
franciscan monks, seminarians, chant
ers and hosts of others, all bearing
lighted tapers. Last in the line Of
clergy is the Patriarch, and behind him
are the dignitaries of state.
The line Of lights is interrupted by
the patriarch, for in place OF taper
he carries a beautiful bambino, or wax
infant. He holds it with infinite care.

When the procession had crossed the
transspt of the bascilica the patriarch
pauses before the nook Of the nativity.
He gives the cradle and image to q
deacon and begins to chant st. Luke's
account of the birth. When he comes
to the words that speak of Chrlst's
birth he takes again the cradle and
places it on the spot, inserting at the
same time the word there" into the
narrative. While he says wrapped it
in swaddling clothes" the patriarch
again takes the image and folds the
laces about the figure, and afterward
throughout the account he makes the
story profoundly impressive by moving
from place to place and repeating BIZ
his gestures the significance of the sa-
cred words.
The services continue until about 2
o'clock in the morning and are ended
by chanting the re Deum. For all
