Stays In Business

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Since the suspcn
sion of the Chicago National Bank John
X. Walsh has refused to make any
statement regarding his future business
plans, declaring that he had not yet
been able to formulate them. Today
Charles II. Bosworth, national bank ex
Rminer and acting president of the Chi
cago National Bank, made an official
statement regarding the plans of Walsh
He said:
Walsh will tomorrow move his of
fees from the Chicago National Bana
buildings to the Grand Central Sta
ton. He expects in short time ia
connect the Chicago Southern Railway
with the Chicago Terminal Railway
which will insure him an entrance intl
this city. At the bank seventy-fivs
clerks will be dismissed and the affairs
of the institution will be closed up al
rapidly as possible. My report has
been sent to Washington. There is ir

II anything in that direction is pro

1t has been decided by the Clearing
