BANK OFFICIAL ARRESTED
PRESIDENT OF DEFUNCT INSTI-
TUITION IN TROUBLE.
Grand Jury at Chicago Returns Two
Indictments Against Him
The Charges.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-President William
H. Hunt, of the defunct Pan-American
bank, was arrested in New York Satur-
day, two indictments against him were
returned in court, and simultaneously
came sensational information as to the
methods of Hunt and some of his as
sociates. 1t developed that deposits had
been received at the bank as late as the
evening before the institution suspend
ed payment. A story was told of deal
whereby 100000 worth of stock was
taken BY eastern'ers. The money has
not been found by Receiver Edwin c.
Day. All forenoon depositors thronged
to the bank doors and told pitiful tso-
ries.
Criminal prosecution of the bank Off
Gals was instigated by V. A. G. Murrell,
of the law firm of Murrell & Taken.
Friday afternoon the grand jury voted
indictments against Hunt, president,
and also W. S. Rector, assistant cashier.
True bills were sought against w. R.
Travers, secretary and treasurer, and
George E. Foster, chairman of the board
of directors. Secrecy is being main
tanned by the states attorney aNyto the
action of the inauisitors in the cases of
Travers and Foster. Immediately after
the indictments had been drawn States
Attorney Healy ordered extradition pa
pers made up and plans were made to
send Detective Frank Tyrrell to New
York to bring Hunt to Chicago. He was
arrested in that city by orders from
Chief of Police O'Neill. The latter acted
under directions from States Attorney
Hcaly. Judge Dunno authorized the re-
ceiver to expend money necessary to
send deputy sheriff to New York also.
The charge against Hunt is that he
accepted deposits when he knew that
the bank was insolvent. The total de-
posts amounted to $4,000 at the time
of the insolvency, and the balance in
the institution amounted to $4,000, leav-
ing deficit of $37, 900. He was released
on $4,000 bail.

ACTIVITY RECEIVES CHECK
STORMS AND FOREIGN CoMPLI.
CATIONS AFFECT BUSINESS.
Belief That interruption to Trade Il
Only Temporary and Will
Be Brief.

New York, jan 30-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Storms
at home and complications abroad tend
ed to check activity in commercial ano
financial markets, but most industrial
lines continue busy, testifying to conf
dence that trade interruption will b.
brief. Prior to the bad weather there
was liberal distribution of merchan-
disc at steady prices, but subsequently g
sharp advance occurred in retail prices
OF food products, owing to restricted re-
celpts at points of heavy consumption.
Foreign commerce at this port for the

Bradstreet's says: Indictment weather
has retarded distributive trade. RAILWAY
traffic and some forms of production
! throughout wide area. The result is
| some irregularity in the reports from diff
ferent sections. The northwest sends
relatively the best reports in advices
that spring business is in excess of O.
year ago, and it is to be noted that the
northwest shows an improvement over
recent rather depressed conditions The
cold weather, however, has accentuated
the dizziness at the south growing out Of
lower cotton prices, and brought bust
ness and collections down to low ebh
as compared with the exceedingly
prosperous conditions ruling year ago
at this time. The eastern seaboard has
felt the chief force of the storm in inter
rupted railway and street car traffic and
reduced arrivals of country produce,
and caused partial suspension of coal
mining and shipping. This is season
able visitation, however. and has been
rallied from quickly. Failures are below
the normal for this season of the year"
