Crash in Memphis
Similar to Walsh Affair.
Trust Company and Two Saw
ings Banks Close.
ARE ALLIED CONCERNS.
Cause of Suspension Said to Be
Too Heavy Loans.
As Usual DepOsitOrs Are PrOmis-
ed Dollar for Dollar.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 27.-Three
financial institutions failed to open
their doors for business today. The
Merchants Trust company. with a
capital stock of 100000, the American
Savings Bank & Trust company and
the Mechanics Savings bank, smaller
institutions allied with the first named
concern, have gone into liquidation.
The following notice was posted on
the doors of the Merchants Trust
company:
This bank is closed by order of the
board of directors and will go into
liquidation.-Felix T. Pope, President" /"
Another notice reads:
This bank has gone into liquidation.
John P. Edmonson has been appointed
receiver
The cause of the suspension of the
Merchants Trust company is said to
have been over loans on discounts
One of the directors said to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press that
the three Institutions had ample assets
and would pay dollar for dollar.
When the officers Of the Merchant s
Trust company decided to suspend
business Chancellor Heiskell was asked
to appoint a receiver for the institution
and named John P Edmondson, a
Memphis lawyer.
The Merchants Trust company re-
Gently absorbed the Memphis National
bank and, it is stated, owns the con-
trolling stock of the American Savings
Bank &. Trust company. The latter in
stitution has practically absorbed the
Mechanics Savings bank.
The suspension of the three 1nstlIu-
tions caused little excitement in hnan-
cial circles.
It is learned that the American Saw
ings Bank and Trust company had act
ually absorbed the Mechanics Savings
bank several days ago.
Tt was stated today that the suspen-
sion of this institution is only temper
ary and that its affairs are in good
shape Officers say that the suspension
was decided upon because they feared
a run, when the doors were opened this
morning. the public generally being
aware Of the bankis relation to the Mef-
chants Trust company.
At the latter Institution it was an
nounced that a thorough reorganization
would be made and hope was expressed
that the company would again open IT'S
doors for business in a short time
A condensed statement of the condl-
ton of the Merchants Trust company
at the close of business December 26,
was given out as follows:
Total assets So, ,665, 055; Indebtedness of

MOVE TO EMPORlA.
Santa Fe Decides to Take Operating
officials Away.

Decision has been reached by the
operating officials of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway company to
move the office of the train Dispatch
ers and the trainmaster of the eastern
division of the road from Topeka to
Emporia.
This change viii involve the transfer
of ten men from this city among whom
will be Lloyd Stanley. chief day train
dispatcher and Mr. McFee, the chief
night train dispatcher, and six trick
dispatchers, as well as ". K Etter, the
trainmaster and the latter's stenogra-
phef.
officials of the Santa Fe have been con-
templating the making of this change
but have put it off from time to time.
1t has now been determined upon final
days before the change will be effect
ed
It has been decided upon because the
officials of the road believe that the
train dispatching work can be done
much more satisfactorily from Emporia
than from here.
Topeka is in the middle of the eastern
division of the road and hardly any of
the freight, with the exception of To-
cal character, passes through here. All
of the through freight is handled over
that portion of the road which is known
as the Emporia cutoff and these trains
have been dispatched with considerable
difficulty from here. so the officials Of
the road have decided that the business
of the road will be best conserved by
transferring the dispatchers and train
masters office to EmDOria.

HIT WITH REVOLVER.
w. @. Stephenson and Willie Sells
Have an Alteration

A wildly waved revolver and the spill
ing Of considerable gore were the incf-
dents of a fight which took place Tues
day evening at o'clock in the real es-
tate office of W. G. Stephenson between
w c. Stephenson and Willie Sells. the
former noted bareback rider Of the old
Sells shows. Stephenson was battered
about the eyes but Sells escaped un-
scathed.
A warrant will be sworn out by Mr..
Stephenson charging Sells with assault
with an intent to kill
The dispute occurred over some inan-
c1aI matters in connection with the sale
of the Chesterfield hotel to Wood F'OW-
Ter and Fred Ross for a consideration of
SIG 500.
Mr.. Stephenson says that after a dis
cussion over a business matter Sells
Stormed around and cIlssed and sWOre.
I didn't move, simply sat stiIl in my
chair, then all at once quick as a wink
ne flashed out a big gun and hit me over
the left eye with the butt end. Write
out a check for the amount of your
commission -- you he said. Write
it out I say he said. The blood was
streaming down from my eye so that I
couldn't see. I tried to temporize with
him and soOthe him down but he came
down with the butt end of the gun on
the desk and humping it said:
I tell you, sign that check, sign it
say, you, 1 said. I can't sign 1t
with this blood streaming down my
4
out d handkerchief and said, Here,
take this and wipe it out and then
sign I took the handkerchief and
started to wipe away the blood It had
streamed down all over me and down
my shirt bosom. All right. I said. I
got out my check book and started to
write AS commenced said to him,
I haven't overcharged you. I simply
have asked the same commission that
anyone else would. I am not writing
this because owe you anything. I
don't owe you any money at ALL He
looked at me and said, You don't owe
me anything2' Then without a fur
ther word he turned on his heel and
left the Office.
Z am certainly going to push this
matter to the limit. I think that it is
certainly worth a charge of an assault
with an intent to kill when a man
comes into your office and without any
provocation abuses you and threatens you
with a great big gun. The office girl
was in the room with me but she was
too badly frightened to call for the pO-
lice. I have never had any trouble with
Sells before in my life. We have always
been able to get along before this. 1

Sells, looking after his real estate and

her bills and I would pay them.

service is cut off beyond Zehrimak, st.

Will continue in operation since fresh
strikes are declared daily and a. general
strike is expected every moment. How
ever, popular sentiment here is for a
speedy finish of the disorders and street
disturbances will be promptly ended by
The military. Already fewer rowdies
are met with and apart from the nerv-
Gus tension the city has entirely resum-
ed its normal aspect.
The peasants of the Kherson district
are now quiet as the military sent there
had orders to shoot marauders.
The exodus from Odessa still contin-
ues. Most Of the families of the for
eign residents have already left and the
cOnsuls have made arrangements for
ships to take the remainder if such
step becomes necessary. Business is at
a standsin.
At the moment of sending this dis
patch the revolutionary party is endeav-
