you expect them to care about evangelz

This showed that the institutions had lent large amount, estimated all the way from $100O0,000 to $15,0o0, 900. on the securities of the railroads that were owned almost entirely by Mir. Walsh. It is said that the paper for these loans was signed by clerks, and that the collateral was the bonds of Mir. Walshs railroads, the Southern Indi- ana, the Chicago Southern, the latter an extension of the Southern Indiana, and the Wisconsin and Michigan.
 When the examiners had concluded their report MT. Walsh asked for time saying that he could raise the money to straighten out everything. He was not as successful in this as he hoped to be. When Comptroller Ridgely was inform cd of the situation he came at once to Chicago.
 Comptroller Ridgely called a meeting of the members of the Chicago clearing house and informed them of the situa- tion. The meeting was held in the off, flee of the president of the First Ma tional bank and continued from 8 o'clock Sunday afternoon until o'clock this morning. It was then announced by the comptroller in a statement that the banks had suspended and that all depositors would be paid in full by the other banks of the city. %' .''' :-~
