Placed in Receivers Hands, But the Officials Claim Solvency.
 Atlanta, Ga., Feb. S.-The States Saw ing bank was placed in temporary receivership today, but the bank did not close it's doors. There was a run on the bank, but every demand was met, some of the other banks going to it's assist ance.
 w. A. Bates and T. J. Ripley were ap- pointed temporary receivers by Judge John s. Candler, on the application of w. c. McLane, a bookkeeper in the Bates-Farley bank. Ripley is an attor- ney here. The States Savings bank is capitalized at s100.OO0, and it's deposits were about S75,000. It IS alleged in the petition for a receiver that the Southern Mutual Building and Loan association was indebted to the bank in large sum, and that the bank probably would never be able to collect it's indebtedness. In answer to this the banks officers say that the Building and Loan association owes nothing to the bank and on the con- trary, the bank was carrying a deposit for the association. The case will be heard on nextsSaturday, when the ques- tion of permanent receivership will be determined. E
