ANOTHER BANK CLOSES.
Long Continued RIM at Portland Ex-
hausts Cash.

Portland, Nov. 13.--After meeting
the heaviest run an Oregon bank ever
saw, the Merchants National suspend
ed yesterday morning. During the two
weeks ended yesterday the paying tel
lers had sifted 81 800. 900 through the
wickets into the hands Of timorous peo-
pie. This huge sum was in hard cash.
The bank is solvent, says President
j. Frank Watson, and will reopen
within 80 days. Gland Catch, OF sa-
lem, national bank examiner for this
district, will take charge of the institu-
tion this morning and make careful
Investigation of the banks condition.
He has been directed to do 30 by the
controller of the currency. He will
make his report to the controller. If,
as is confidently expected, this report
discloses solvent bank, the controller
will allow such time rs seems necessary
for the collection of outstanding ac-
counts and the doors will be opened
again for business.
No receiver, in all probability, will
be appointed for the closed bank. The
condition of the bank is not such, ap-
parently, that it cannot go on with it's
business. Only when bank is insol-
vent is a receiver necessary, and in the
case Of q national bank, receiver is
appointed by the controller of the
currency.
Malicious rumors, spread by enemies
of the bank, are believed by President
Watson to be responsible for its sus-
pension. These we're circulated in var
ious ways. Anonymous letters to prom
inent business men about the city,
mysterious telephone calls, all advising
the withdrawal of deposits from the
Merchants National, and street reports
helpad to instill the fear Of loss in the
minds of the public. The result was
that anxious depositors poured into the
bank.

MEANS BANKING REFORM.
Appointment Of Hepburn Commission
Sets Precedent for States.

Appointment of Hepburn Commission
Sets Precedent for States.
New York, Nov. 5.-In New York
financial circles the view was freely ex-
pressed today that the action of Cover
nor Hughes in appointing a commits
sion to recommend changes in the New
York banking laws may result in
similar movement extending to other
sections of the country and in the en-
actment OF legislation which will place
state banks on basis and under super
vision more closely akin to that OF the
national banks. A. b. Hepburn, presi-
dent of the Chase National bank, and
ex-controller of the currency, who, it is
generally conceded, will be chairman
OF the Hughes commission, is strong
advocate of the national banking sys-
tenn. 1t is believed that Mr.. Hepburn
will personally recommend to his asso-
ciates that the state law should be
made to conform as nearly as possible
to the Federal statutes.
The report OF the commission is
looked forward to by bankers general
ly as likely to express at once the high
est and most conservative opinion as to
reforms in the way of state financial
legislation. Many bankers are inclined
to believe that the report Of the com.
made to Mr.. Hughes may form
the framework OF legislation in many
other states. The recommendation of
r tha com miasion ore tharafOre looked
upon as being national az well as local
in character.
Mr.. Hepburn said today that the
commission will get to work inside OF
one week. Trust companies, it is un-
derstood, will come in for large share
of consideration, and it is believed that
the suggestion will be made that the
laws governing them should conform to
those relating to the regular banks.

Washington, Nov. 14.-In decision
of the Interstate Commerce commission
handed down today by Commissioner
Clements it is ordered that the Great
Northern Railway company pay to the
Pennsylvania Steel company reparation
in the sum of $2,433, excessive and un-
reasonable charges in shipment OF
steel from Pittsburg to Seattle. 1t was
held by the commission that the rules
or regulations of tine defendant ccm-
pany whereby freight charges were col
lected upon higher minimum loading
requirement than the practices of the
carriers governed by the Master Car
Builders association rules would per.
NIT was unreasonable and unjust.

CortsIyou Pleased at Situation.

Washington, Nov. Is. - Secretary
Cortelyou said today upon leaving the
cabinet meeting, financial matters had
not been considered during the meet
ing; that the outlook was steadily i'm
proving, principally in New York; that
relief was being extended quite freely
to the Middle West, principally to st.
Louis. This did not indicate that the
situation in this locality was serious,
he said, but simply showed a general
easing of the stringency.
