Kansas City, Mo-. July 2O-The City

]. Devlin, of Topeka, for upwards Of
$780, and the failure is a direct re-
suit of the closing of the First Nation
al Bank of Topeka of which Devlin
was the principal stakeholder
The City National Bank was organ
lied in 1900 and is one of the young
est of the national banking institu-
tions in the city. It's capital is $4,000
and it has deposits of s1,430,64S. It's
officers are: Edward CTebO, pres1-
dent; James G. Steam, cashier; John
Moore, vice president; Charles A
Loomis, second vice president.
The last statement of the City Ma
tional Bank, issued on May 20, 1905,
shows the following:
Resources.
6 Loans and discounts, s1,036,546.
OYerdrafts s640.

Total, $1,9S9,720.
The bank was closed by z. z.
Ames, bank examiner, under instruc-
ton from the comptroller of currency.
The comptroller it is stated, informed
the officers Of the bank that it must
take up 100000 bad paper immediate
" or they would not be permitted to
open to-day. The bank was visited
last night by a committee of local
bankers who examined the books and
reported al a meeting early to-day that
the affairs of the institution were i'll
such shape that they would not feel
justified in extending assistance. Al
though the City National Bank was
not a member of the local clearing
house association, that assiciOation,
il was stated by one of the officers to-
day, would have extended aid had they
not found so much bad paper.
Although the holding of Deylin pa
per upon which no immediate realiza-
ton could be made, was the prime
cause of the failure, it is stated that
the general knowledge that the bank
held other bad paper and was in a
weakened condition led to a gradual
withdrawal of deposits. At no time
had a run of any big proportions been
on, but it is stated, Withdrawals had
ben made quietly for several months
and that within sixty days 100000
had been taken out.
The majority of the banks deposit
tors are in medium circumstances,
two-thirds of whom live outside Of
Kansas City.
There was no excitement at the
doors of the bank when the closing
notice was posted to-day, less than a
dozen depositors appearing. to with
draw their money.
