MERCHANTS TRUST COMPANY OF
NEW YORK CITY sUsPENDs
BUSINESS.

New York, May 24.-The doors of
the Merchants Trust company of this
city were closed during the day.
The Merchants Trust company had
a capital stock Of 100000 and owed
depositors about $2,O0O,O00 The COM
pany was organized in 1899. In May,
1908, the stock reached a high point,
290 being bid for it. Edwin Hawley
was president of the company at one
time
The company was closed by order of
F. D. Kilburn, state superintendent of
banks, notice to that effect being
posted Oh the doors. 1t was said that
the closing of the institution was due
to inability to secure payment of GER
tain large sums on which the collateral
consisted of securities of the Hudson
Valley Railway company. The COM
pany was participation in the Hudson
Valley Railway company syndicate to
the extent of $3.50, 500. Samuel INTER
meyer counsel for Jacob l.. Phillips,
president of the Merchants Trust
company, gave out the following for
NAL statement:
In view of the publicity that has
been given to the efforts of the COM
pany to increase it's cash resources
and to the unmarketable character of
certain of the securities which it holds
as collateral for large loans l have
advised the president to recommend
the suspension of business so as to
prevent run on the institution
Mr.. Phillips has been president for
only few months. The loans that
have crippled the cash resources were
not made under his administration
aud he has no responsibility for them.
Ever since Mr.. Phillips assumed Office
his efforts have been directed towards
inducing those under whose admins
tration the loans were made to take
them out of the institution. This has
not yet been done.
Douglas Robinson, a brother-in-law
of President Roosevelt, has been ap-
pointed receiver of the Merchants
Trust company.

MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA MAKES
SENSATIONAL MOVE IN MU.
NIctPAL DISPUTE.
EXECUTIVE BEGINS FIGHT ON OR.
GANIZATIoN RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS ELECTION.

Philadelphia, May 24.-Director Of
Public Works Costello and Director OF
Public Safety Smythe have, at the re-
quest of Mayor Weaver, rendered their
designations. This is the latest and
most startling development in the
fight against the lease for seventy-fiv i've
years of the city gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company.
Each official in rendering his resig-
nation used the phrase: "To take
effect when my successor has quail
fed" These words are taken in po-
litical circles to indicate determina-
ton to hold on to the Offices as long
as possible as the successors of the
two directors must be confirmed by a
two-thirds vote of the city council.
Mayor Weaver evidently took the same
view, as it was stated that he had mott
fed Messrs. Costello and Smythe that
the form of the designations was not
satisfactory and he gave them two
hours to resign without qualification
on pain of removal from office.
Mayors Action Creates Sensation.
The action of the mayor is the all
engrossing topic of conversation. 1t
Is safe to say that no such political
sensation has been sprung in twenty.
flve years. Now that the mayor has
declared war on the Republican or
ganization leaders who placed him in
Office it is expected that bitter fight
will be waged during the remaining
two years of his term. Including po-
ncemen and firemen there are upward
Of 10000 oftlceholders in Philadelphia
and practically all of them are at the
mercy of the mayor. The "organiza-
tom leaders, headed by State Insur-
ance, Commissioner Durham, expect
that NO mercy will be shown and that
every. supporter of the Organization"
will be removed from Office. No an.
nouncement has been made of the sue
cessors of Costello and Smythe.
Is The mayors first move will un.
doubtsdly be to remove from Office all

The present fight grew out Of the

EQUITABLE ARGUMENT ON

New York, April LA sharp clash
between Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for
Vice President James II. Hyde of the
Equitable and William b. Hornblower,
counsel for Alexander and other direc-
tors, marked the arguments yesterday
in the injunction suit brought by Frank
lin B. Lord to restrain the Equitable Life
from amending it's charter by mutualiza-
ton in Justice Maddox's courtroom in
Brooklyn
When Mr.. Hornbower said he repre-
sented the directors of the society, Mr..
Untermeyer disagreed with him. Mr..
Untermeyer then intimated that Presi-
dent Alexander was guilty of bad faith
in the Lord suit.
What is the society," asked Justice
Maddox.

society, but what are certain individuals
trying to make il" said Mr.. Untermeger
hotly.
Both Mr.. Hornblower and Edward NJ.
Shepard, who is representing MIR. Lord,
said that they did not object to Mr.
tlntermeyer's filing brief if he wanted
to. Untermeyer said
I'm opposed to Mr.. Lords suit, not
exactly on the ground that the board
If directors are, but have not bad time
as yet to thoroughly so over the matter.
would like to have more time in
which TO do it.
Son behalf of Mr.. Hyde, who holds
in trust the majority of the stock in
the Equitable, | am prepared to make
i motion TO intervene so that we can
take some part in the proceedings now
before the court. 1t is my intention to
have the whole question Of mutuaiiza-
ton thoroughly threshed out and to
| have nothing done except what is per-
fectly legal"
Mr. Shepard then began his argument
/ for Mr.. Lord.
| Since the Lord suit was filed and he
has said in interviews that he viii do
everything possible to block mutualiza-
ton, the question has risen whether
| HYDE or Alexander faction was behind
! him. The developments yesterday threw
an interesting light upon the situation.
