LouisvmLE. KY, Jan. 1s.-Tho German Ma.

not open its doors for business this morning.
ard the announcement was made that the in
~stitution was In the hands OF Bank Examiner
James T.. Scott. The capital stock Is S25l. 500.
with n surplus OF S3l 900. j. VI. Mcknight Is
President.
The bank has been in a shaky condition for
three years. owing to the failure OF the Louis
willie Deposit Bank. by which 1t lost $4,000,
and there are also lawsuits involving
between $3.50. 900 and $500, 900 pending.
growing out OF the banks connection
with the failure. Since the first OF the
year $4,000 In deposits have been withdrawn
and several days ago Bank Examiner Escott be-
gan nm investigation. On Saturday he ,ele.
graphed the result to the Comptroller OF the
Currency. and the order came for the bank to
be closed at once.
President Mcknight says depositors will be
paid In full. The bank has on hand $780, 900 In
cash. The deposits subject to check are about
s255,000. There are also certificates Of deposit
for SOC. 600. Mr.. Mcknight hopes to have the

morning. The news spread rapidly and soon

sembled In front OF the bank clamorinR for an
explanation. The officers sent out word that
the bank was solvent, but had been forced to
close down for lack of ready money. Assurances
were offered that no one would lose anything.
The depOsltors. however. refused to be- salts
fed. The excitement grew still greater when
It became known that Comptroller OF the Cur
reucy Eckels ana n National Bank Examiner OF
Washington were TO be in Newport to-day.
a late and rather startling DEVELOPMENT Is
that Mr.. John Trap, eS-Sherin Of the county.
who was elected President OF the bank a week
ago to succeed DR.. Gunkel. who precipitatcly re-
signed. refused TO accept tina office unless the
banks affairs were thoroughly Investigated.
II seems that q. w. Nagel, who was elected TO
succeed luntsey as cashier, had made sufficient
investigation himself to warrant him In warn
ing his friend Tramp that all was not as II should
be. Therefore the bank had been without a
President for nearly n week.
Every bank In Covington, which adJoins
Newport, had to meet n run to-day a.
best IL could on short notice. Citizens
rushed to their places OF deposit by the
hundreds rs soon a. they heard the news that
the First National had not opened its doors In

heavy dopositors were among these.
