In the Industrial Trust company and
more prominently identified with the
same than any other officer with the ex-
ception of Col. Samuel Pomeroy Colt.
PROBABLE PRESIDENT.
IL is highly probable that Mr.. scott
will be chosen president of the new bank,
and, I'm this event the new concern is
likely TO become practically a branch OF
the Industrial Trust company, since Mr..
Scott is one of the most active and infiu-
entail directors of the last named insti-
tuition.
There is a remote possibility, however.
that president for the new concern may
be chosen whose name doth not yet ap-
pear"
There is no doubt. however, In the
banking circles that Mr. Scott will be the
fortunate man.
There Is another important position to
be filled in the course OF time IN the new
United States National, viz, that OF CASH

IL is understood that the cashiers of
the four banKs, included i'm the consoli-
dation, will be candidates for this posi-

stands very good chance OF being se-
lected but no decision on this point has
been arrived at by the promoters OF the
Y
Is stated that the man ultimately chosen
will be one not identified with any OF the
consolidated banks.
THE OLD employees.
IL is proposed to employ In the new
banking institution, as many men (now
in the employ OF the four banks included
in the same) as can possibly be utilized.
At least. one half OF the old men will
be employed
The discouraging fact, however. must
be apparent to all that, some faithful
employees will necessarily be thrown otst
OF positions.
Those who have brought about the con-
solidation. claim II will mean greatly i'm
creased strength a wider horizon and en-
larged opportunities.
The meaning of the old adage I'm Union
there is strength" is especially true i'm
this instance. They claim expenses will be
greatly reduced and as one member of
the concern said.
"We shall do more business In the new
bank than all the four banks have ever
done together"

For a year and a half much interest
has prevailed in banking circles of this
city regarding the proposed consolidation
OF four OF the old established pational
banks, the Fifth National. the Rhode
Island National. the Eagle National and
the Second National
Plans for a consolidation were fire.
quently discussed In the past, but moth
ing definite resulted until recently, when
a union OF the four institutions was prac-
tically effected.
A name has been chosen and charter
has been granted for the new institution,
which will be known as the United Ma
tional Bank" with a capital of $780, 900
and surplus OF S500.ood.
In the course OF time * Is expected
the capital will be increased to 81, 200, 900.
The offices of the United National will be
on the ground floor Of the Exchange place
end of the Industrial Trust building.
NEW BANKING QUARTERS.
The new quarters. which are now being
made ready. will be very large and fitted
up with every modern convenience for
the accommodation or patrons and the
dispatch OF business.
IL Is expected that they will be ready
for occupancy by the middle OF July.
While II Is known that this conSolida-
tion of banks is a certainty and that the
charter for the same has been procured.
yet IL is also true that the directors in
the four banks mentioned have not yet
voted TO accept any proposition looking
toward a consolidation.
This matter. however, will be adjusted
in the near future, when directors for the
new institution will be selected.
1t Is probable that four or five directors,
from each of the four banks 10 be includ-
ed I'm the consolidation. will be chosen to
comprise the board of directors I'm the new
United National
When the organization OF the United
National is completed the important ques-
tion TO come before the new board of di-
rectors who will be the choice of presi-
dent of the same.
The names mentioned for this import
ant position are j. w. Crooker, presi-
dent OF the Fifth National ex-Gov. Lip
pitt president of the II. /. National. John
Palmer president of the Eagle National,
William w. Paine, president of the Sec

torman's hand.
