Chicago. Dec. 1S.-The Chicago
National bank. the Equitable Trust
company and the Home Savings bank
all OF Chicago. and all under one
roof. and practically under the same
management. closed their doors this
morning. The president of the Chi
cago National Bank and of the Equit-
able Trust company is very largely
interested in railroads and in coal
properties. II is announced that the
investments of his institutions in the
securities of the railroads and coal
properties have been SO large, that 1t
has been impossible to realize on
them when occasion required IT,
These institutions have been the
leading factors in the very large con-
solicitations of coal properties that
have been taking place during the
last year throughout Indiana and IL
linois, which consultations absorb
ed millions of dollars. The Chicago
Clearing House association which is
composed of the leading banks of
Chicago. very promptly pledged their
combined assets to secure the depos-
itors In the failed banks.
This has had the effect of allaying
all alarm and IT is Thought no further
troubles will occur.
John r. Walsh, the president of
the Chicago National bank, is owner
OF the Chicago Chronicle.
The Chicago National bank is capt
talized at a million. and has fourteen
millions deposits.
The Home Savings bank has depos-
its OF almost four millions.

PRESIDENT MORTON
Appeals to Policy Holders to Protect
Their Interests.

New York, Dec. 1S.-An appeal to
the policy holders in all the states
of the union to lend assistance in
preventing adverse legislation has
been made by President Paul Nor
ton of the Equitable Life Assurance
society in a circular letter which is
being sent to policy holders. Presl-
dent Morton says that insurance bus
mess is certain to be the subject of
great consideration by the legislature
soon to convene as the result of what
has been printed and said about in
surance during the last six months
lie says:
"The society depends upon the
policy holders to see that no unrea-
sonable legislation is enacted. I may
from time to time call attention to
measures calculated to do them
harm, but under no circumstances
will | be party to any corrupt meth
DDS of preventing strike legislation.
We aim to meet all just requirements
Of every state and the government
and rely upon our policy holders to
see no injustice dcne them
ANY unfair insurance law or
unfair insurance tax measures enact
ed by your state legislature Injuries
you and reduces the dividend earn
ings of your policy"

theft, was convicted at Victoria. and

live very much longer The jury
wished to give Porter the heaviest
sentence, as he has been responsible
for numerous cattle thefts in that
community, but heretofore it has
been almost impossible to secure the
necessary evidence to convict him.
