Demands Made for Cash.


BALTIMORE, June s--The City Trust and
Banking Company closed its doors to-day
and went into the hands of a receiver. The
company runs a storage department with

this feature will go on without change,
as it is profitable branch of the company
He also said that the safe deposit business
of the company will continue.
The banking and trust features are
brought to standstill. There are about
$500 depositors with total deposits aggre-
eating over $500 900. The company has
had heavy Withdrawals of money for some
time, and the collapse came when II was
unable any longer to liquldate its assets
as fast as the demands came for cash
The troubles Of the company date back
for a year. In January last It was prac-
tically reorganized and several we'll known
men went into the board. This, it was
hoped, would restore confidence and enable
the company 10 steer out Of difficult situa-
tons in which it had become entangled.
The company has an authorized capital
stock of 500 900. One estimate Of the as
sets and liabilities places both at $3.50, COO,
while another puts the assets at not more
than $500 900.

If the applicant" said Mr.; Nabokoff,
replies that he is a Christian, all the Consul
has to do is to see that his name is not found
on the list sent him by the Russian Govern
entrance into Russia This lisi contain
only the names Of well-known Nihilists and
Anarchists. The Consul then vises the
passport without further formalities,
But II the applicant replies that he is .
Jew, the attitude Of the Consul will be
different. The Russian law taking it in
it's broadcast sense, says that no Jew under
any circumstances shall be admitted to
Russia. This law Is applied literally and
almost without exception to Jews born in
sian birth and Jewish faith comes to the
Consul to get his passport countersigned,
the latter will refuse his signature.
There Is only one way out Of II. The
applicant may turn directly to the Russian
Government and ask that an except ion I've

place where the man lives. That Consul
will investigate and take his time about
reporting. The petition will then go back

request granted, II it be granted at all.
You may Judge by my personal experience.
During the seven or eight years that
have conducted this bureau large num-
b,r of Russian born Jews have secured my

permission to visit their native count ry and
their relatives. My efforts have proved
successful only in Ave or six cases during
all these years.
IF the applicant be Jew born in any
country outside of Russia, the Consul has
the power under certain circumst ances
to except him from the general order Of
prohibition against the admission OF MEM

not extend to scientists or artists, as far
