Big Amount Of Negotiable
Securities Are Gone,
Whereabouts Of Connecticut
Bank Treasurer a Mystery.
Lively Run on Bank Is Promptly
net...PIenty Of Cash.

New Britain, CT, Feb. 12.-Nego-
liable securities to a very large amount
are understood to be missing from the
Savings Bank of New Britain, of which
institution the treasurer, VIM. F. Walk
er, .mySteriouSly dropped out of sight
in New York Sunday last. During the
day Phillip COrbin. president of the
bank, stated that the bank authorities
a value Of $150000. but did not find
any other irregularity in the accounts
or cash "f ne bank.
The .''.aI,..., according to Mr.. Cor
bin, sugg.-I..i abstraction Of the Sc
curities Of that value. 1t is understood
that Mr.. CorIin received a letter from
the missing man, in which the state
ment was made that a defalcatiOn
would be found, and upon this Informal
ton an examination Of the banks col
lateral was begun, which is still in pro-
gross.
Not an inkling of Walkers where
abouts has been obtained and the re-
turn Of his son, who has been search
ing in New York. is understood TO in
dictate the feeling of the family that the
missing treasurer is not in that city
Mr.. Walker has been treasurer of the
funds of the Connecticut State Baptist
Convention for many years, having
about $4,000 in securities in his charge,
and while there is 10 reason to SuS-
pect any irrcgularity in these accounts,
the president, Rev. H. VI. Thompson,
has outlined an investigation. Mr.
Walker was not under bonds in that
society.
The preliminary examination of the
officers Of the Savings Bank indicates
that the entire collateral assets Of the
bank We're intact Oct. l last, when the
annual return was made to the COM
missioner Of savings banks.
Today great sums Of cash have been
received at the bank to be used in pay
ing off alarmed dcpositors, the total
Withdrawals yesterday and today
amounting to about S150,0C0.
The bank received offers of a million
dollars from many sources. which were
declined, as ample cash was on hand
to meet all the demands. The run on
the bank today was Il lively one, most =
ly by small depositors. the greater
number of them being foreigners Po-
lice officers were necessary to keep
them in check, especially the Polanders
who We're thoroughly frightened into
belief that they We're to lose their saw
ings, despite reassuring words of i
parish priest Of their nationality.
The alleged wrongdoing of Mr.
Walker has created tremendous sem
sation. He was held in the highest
esteem. was church officer and citi-
zen, who lived quietly and modestly.
He was not known to be Interested i'll
stock investments of any kind or i'll
any outside ventures.

them. When the university played its
first basketball game, which was be-
fore Mr. Phelan had been elected coach.
it was believed by all who saw the
game that the university basketball
team this year would be one of the
weakest that Maine had ever turned
out. Those who saw the second game
played after Coach Phelan had taken
charge of the team realized that this
years team would prove one of the
strongest the university ever turned
out Coach Phelan who is an all round
athlete, soon had taught the university
team to play as single man and the
result of his work has been very evil
dent in the last few games. Mr.. Phelan
leaves to take up professional ball. His
gentlemanly and sportsmanlike conduct
while in charge OF the Maine team has
won the respect of all who had any
thing to do with him. One and all of
the students wish Mr.. Phelan the
greatest success.
