Baltimore, Dec estate in the
evening Roger Z. Gill was named re-

on behalf of the directors because OF
a run on the bank and the fear that
the institution would not be able to

A meeting of the executive committee
of the clearing house was held imme'

shown that the banks surplus was
completely wiped out, but that the
capital stock was unimpaired. The
capital stock is $4,000, and the sur
plus $4,000. According to the last
statement the deposits amounted to
$95O,0OO, which were secured.
The directors say there is really no

Every confirmed gambler in the

and theoretically it is perfect. but the
trouble is that all gambling games
have limit. and the doubling process
increases Il wager with such enormous
rapidity that it is apt to get over the
stipulated amount before the winning
takes place.
