R. R. VICE-PRESIDENTS
CONFER WITH ROOSEVELT.
Request That in Executing Commodity
Amendment to Rate Law but
One Case Be Brought.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The operating
Vice-presidents of many of the large rail
roads of the country were received bv
President Roosevelt today and presented
a request that in executing what is known
as the commodity amendn emit of the rail-
road rate law, but one case be brought
against the roads by the government this
case to be finally disposed Of by the SUI
preme Court Of the United states. This.
II agreed to by the government. would
mean that the railroads owning coal pro-
duci2g properties would not sell them by
May l next, as required by the law but
could operate them as heretofore until the
disposal of the test case. The law in
question Is regarded by the roads as I'M
constitutional in that it requires the dis
posal of property at what would be neces-
sarily 2 sacrifice. The law is also oues-
toned on other grounds.
The President referred the railroad men
te The Interstate Commerce Commission.
where. II IS understood the question win
be fully discussed and a report made to
the President as to the legal possibility
OF carrying out the suggestion made.

Big BANK CLOSES
RECEIVER IN CHARGE NORTH
AMERICAN NATIONAL.
President Says Institution Is Solvent,
but Directorate Feared
a Run.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-As a lingering
heritage of Charles w. Morse's financial
operations, another banking institution,
the National Bank of North America, has
been compelled to take steps as drastic as
though 1t had failed, to avert such a con-
tinsency, BY request OF its directorate,
Comptroller of the Currency w. B. Ridge
ly ordered the bank closed for liquidation,
and appointed Charles A. Hanna, national
bank examiner, as receiver.
President William F.. Havemeyer said
that owing to persistent rumors afloat for
the past ten days, there had been a con-
tinuous drain on the resources of the in
TUT and the indications were that the
Withdrawals would be so heavy today that
the bank would be unable to meet them.
President H~avemeyer said that the
action placing the affairs of the bank under
the charge of the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency had been taken TO insure that all
depositors would be treated alike; that the
oank Is entirely solvent and that with a
careful liquidation the stockholders will
receive par for their stock.
The National Bank of North America
has a capital of 5000, 600, and on August
z last, at which time a report was made
to the Comptroller OF the Currency, showed
deposits of $40, 1877, 400. This sum had been
largely and gradually decreased by with
drawals during and subsequent to the
panic, and on December 8, the date OF the
next report. showed deposits of ST, 926, 500.
and cash on hand of 1881, 800. Since that
time, according to President Havemeyer's
statement, the deposits have shrunk still
s., O00, 900.

ACCUSE RYAN
OF JUGGLING
DEAL
Eleven Rich New Workers
Sued on Illegal Con-
spiraCy Charge.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-An order au-
thorizing the receivers of the New
York City Railway Company to bring
suit for So, 1877, 900 against the Metropoli-
tan Securities Company and eleven Of
its former directors was issued today
by Judge Lacombe in the United States
Court.
The directors named in the suit are
Thomas P. Fowler, Pau d. Cravath,
Edward j. Berwind, George G. Haven,
H. H. Vreeland, Edward w. Sayre,
Mortimer L, Schiff, Thomas f. Ryan,
P. A. B.. Widener, Thomas Dolan and
John D. Crimmins.
1t is alleged that the defendants.
nearly all of whom were directors of
the New York City Railway Company
and Metropolitan Securities Company
at the same time, entered into an ille-
gal conspiracy whereby notes of the
New York City Railway Company were
sold to the metropolitan Securities
Company at a discount of 30 per cent.
1t is further alleged that the transac-
ton was so juggled that the Metropoli-
tan Securities Company derived a profit
of $2,7 $1,000. 1t is of this sum that the
receivers of the New York City Railway
Company ask an accounting.

the Standard Oil Company and the indie
pendent oil reflners of Western Pennsyl-
vania, and involved n charge of discrimina-
ton by the railroad companies against the
independent operators, it being alleged,
among other things, that the privilege Of
shipping in tank cars permitted to the
Standard was denied the other companies.
The matter at first was brought to the
attention of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. and that body issued an order OF
PREPARATION requiring the railroad COM
panies to pay damages with interest, the
entire sum amounting to about $4,000.
The railroad companies took the case into
the United States Circuit Court for the
western district of Pennsylvania, by which
the order was upheld. That court, how
aver. was reversed by the Circuit Court
of Appeals for the third circuit, and there
upon the Independent refiners brought the
case to the Supreme Court, which af-
frmed the decision of the Court of Ap-
peas.
