City Bank Has Not offered Re

At the National Citv Bank 1t was said yester-
day that none Of the securities belonging to
Pearl & Co. which unknown thief had Oh
tanned Wednesday from the banks loan clerk,
in exchange for = forged check. had yet been
recovered. The Pinkertons said that they were
at work on the case. but that there were no de-
velopnents- It is now suggested that the men
who conceived and so successfully executed the
plot to obtain the securities may decide to Of
fer them to the bank in return for q substantial
reward. rather than take the risk and suffer the
delay involved in an attempt to dispose Of them
at some future time TO unwary or uniformed
investors. perhaps in some distant part OF the

Bank said on this point:
