weaker Financial Concerns In Various
Places Go TO tho Wall

Places Go TO tho Wall
Newport, Ky. Jan. ID.-The First
national bank OF Newport has closed
its doors. The bank will be rcorganized.
The deposits are about $4,000 and de-
positors will be paid in full. Directof
Charles Spinks says the bank closed be-
cause of the recklessness Of Cashier
Yautsey and Director McCracken.
Louisville, KY, Jan. l9.-The German
national bank at First and Market
streets did not open its doors for bust
ness. and the announcement was made
that the institution was in the hands OF
Bank Examiner James Escott. The
capital stock is s25l. 800, with a surplus
of So. 900. j. NJ. Mcknight is president.
The bank has been in a shaky condi-
tion for three years owing to the fall
ure of the Louisville deposit bank, by
which II lost $4,000 and there are also
between s250.00o and $500. 900 worth OF
law suits pending, growing out OF the
banks connection with tho failure.
Since the first of the year SIS, 900 in de-
posits have been withdrawn and several
days ago Bank Examiner Escott began
an investigation. Saturday he wired

rency and the order came for the bank

while the liabilities are in the neighbor-
hood of $230,000. The officers of the
bank deemed this step the best under
the circumstances TO protect the depos-
itors. The recent furry in banking
affairs caused withdrawals OF deposits

unable TO raise enough ready money
TO meet demands.
