At the eighteenth regular meeting of

Schuetzen Hall last night, much dissatis-
faction was expressed by the members that
the $4,000 remaining from the relief fund
had not been placed at their disposal by
Pastor Haas Of st, Marks Lutheran
Church. Several Of the association men,
bers complained that when they had asked
for relief they had been put of or refused.

where help was needed and to report 10

THE BrFFALO BANK FAILURE.
Aitorncy-Gencral DeSEnaies Counsel TO
Make Thorough Investigation.

ALBANY, Jan. 5.-Attorney-Gener julius
NJ Mayer to-day designated Tracy C..
Becker Of Buffalo TO act with Joseph G
Dudley. the representative OF the Attorney
Generals department In Western New
York, in making an investigation into the
affairs of the closed German Bank Of Buffalo.
This action is taken in response, the Attor-
ney- General says TO appeals made to him
from all classes in Buffalo. and at the eug-
gestion OF Superintendent Of Banking
kilburn.
Mr. Becker * authorized to ofer to CO.

has been committed and he is requested to
ascertain what, II any changes should be
made in the present Banking law so as 10
make it impossible for similar situation
10 arise again.
The Attorney General and the Superin-
tendent Of Banking hope that the failure
Of this Buffalo bank Will result in changes
in the Banking law along the lines Of the
recommendations Of Supt Kilburn to
prohibit the transfer Of the control Of
bank TO new interests, or at least TO pre-
scribe conditions under which alone such
a transfer may be made, and TO prevent
excessively large loans being made to any
one interest. Supt. Kilbufn asserts that
in the case OF the German bank the dis
aster was directly traceable to the change
of control
The Attorney General to-day received
the following letter from Supt. Kilburn
The failure of the German bank in
Buffalo emphasizes the necessity for changes
in the Banking law Of the State. 1t would
also seem to suggest the advisahility Of

tanning whether any one officially connected
