Directors Call ON Comptroller EclSeIs
for u GOnference.


WAsH1NGToN, Dec. GA commit
tee Oi directors Of the c llapssd Ma
tional Bank OF Illinois, Chicago o. called
on Comptroller EoRels To-Day for "A
personal conference regarding the
bank's affairs. The directors thought
better understanding OF their own
positions and that OF the comptroller
would be ob:alned by personal inter
view than by c0rresponuencP. They
also desired to see the originals OF GER
tain letters which passed between tn e
comptroller and the directors, some
question OF the authenticity OF the
signatures having arisen.
The committee included William ID.
ksrfoot, George f. Adams, William
X. Page and Charles Il. Corwlth.
Eckols said to the directors he felt
confident the management oil the ba ok
had been very negligent indeed. The
directors thereupoD explained that tho
hank directors, eince the receipt oil
Eckels's letter, repeatedly had tried tc
| close regulations for the sails OF the
Caiunlet Electric railway with view
| OF realizing upon 1t, hut the bushes,
| conditions OF the country, the lopl
| political campaign and the trouble
with the diamond Match company,
caused the failure OF these negotiations
thus far. They expressed a desire Ia
do everything In their power to aid the
receiver in realizing tho utmost from
the assete OF the bank. Eckels i'm.
pressed upon them that he would ex.
pect them to make every possible
effort to realize from the Calumet road
a; the best figure possible.
The delegation informed the comp.
troller they were perfectly willing to
cooperate with anyone Eckels might
see lit to appoint receiver.
The delegation said the directors
were hopeful that the affairs OF the
bank would be completely settled with.
In year, every obligation DO met and
the assets probably would be sufficient
to leave the real estate clear.
