DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ACT

PHILADELPHIA Sept. REPLY
ing to the criticisms that have been
made In regard to the failure Of the
Clearing House Association TO come TO
the rescue of the Real Estate Trust
Company. which was forced to sus-
pend on last Tuesday. a member OF
the association makes the remarkable
statement that for nearly three years
the directors OF the wrecked trust
company had not held a meeting and
that no examination Of the books and
securities OF the company had been
made by the state board I'm that time
The negligence OF the state board
and the directors of the company was
4 great surprise IN banking circles
here. Il was regarded as almost in
conceivable that Frank X. Nipple, I'm
spite Of his reputation for probity and
religious zeal. should have been per-
mitted 20 run the big trust company
for three years without letting the di-
rectors know what he was doing. Yet
whenthe directors went to the Clear
ing House Association and asked for
$1,000, 600 no one was able TO tell any
thing about the condition Of the come
pany.
At the meeting OF the Clearing
House Association Joseph d. Junkin.
counsel for the Real Estate Trust
Company, was asked by the assembled
bankers:
when was your trust company last
examined by the State boardg'
about three years ago." slowly re-
Piled the lawyer q.
when did the directors OF the com
pany last examine its affairs?" was
the next question
"Not for more than two and half
years Mr. Junkin replied.
Directors Knew Nothing.
A member Of the association who
was present at the meeting at which
the directors OF the Real Estate Trust
Company asked for the S7.000.000 says:
''rhe directors Of the Real Estate
Trust Company knew as little about
the affairs OF the company as any of
the bankers present. They did not ap-
pear to know whether the shortage
was s5.o0O,00O or s1O,00O.0o0. and II
wocld have been folly for us to have
advanced The cash when the affairs of
tn bank were IN such a deplorable
condition Mr. Junkin could not tell
us why the State Board Of Examiners
and the Board OF Directors OF the
trust company had failed to do their
duty for nearly three years
"rhe three directors Of the company
who came before us with outstretched
hands for S7O00000 had absolutely
nothing to offer IN return but dead sea
fruit. They had not even confidence
In their companys future to offer. for
when they were asked II they would
pledge their fortunes 20 make good
losses that the allied banks might sus-
tain by going IL blind. their answer
was painful silence Under such
circumstances the Clearing House
could not be expected TO come to the
