every other consideration save and
except the consideration of opening
that bank and seeing to it that the
depositors get dollars for dollar. he

the directors of the bank and from
the stockholders to go ahead in earn

for further hesitation or for further
demands If he means to put UP his
proportionate share to cover his
holdings as certain members of the
Bank Commission stated that he
would do, and was ready to do, moth
ing remains but to open the bank
IF all these possibilities are in sight
| in Justice to the depositors there il
nothing left for the Bank Commission

eral to withdraw his petition for q
Receiver, and allow the doors of the
bank to swing open for business.

COMMISSIONS ACTION
WAS UNREASONABLE e
Declares Attorney Platt Who
States That Directors Had
Guaranteed Their Support

Attorney Sam Platt, retained as
counsel for The bank after the insti-
tuition had been closed for three
months, was pressed for an interview
on the receiyership matter He posi-
lively refused 10 talk until authority
was given and his statement viii
make good, reliable and spicy read
ing. He has been intimately in
touch with the whole situation and
has worked untiringly to open up the
bank He prefaced his statement with
not making a report for the rehab;l-
iation committee. THAT committee
Will take care Of itself when the time
comes. It has not yet made its final
report, and il IS enough for ne to say
that when il does. there will not be
one phase OF this bank business that
is not fully explained. I might state
in passing said Mr. Plat, that when
the public at large fully appreciates
the-woril Of this committee. they will
be too quick to score against insinua-
lions cast against-it by the State Bank
Commission or anybody else I want
to impress this fact very forciby.
There is no question and never
was. for the State Bank and Trust
Company TO go into the hands of a
Receives. The action of the State
Bank Commission in calling. upon the
Attorney General to petition the
Court for a receiver is a contradic-
ton of the statements and published
reports of that Commission made in
the past, and is, in fact. 9 declara
ton of the banks insolvency which
that very Bank Commission has dis
claimed and repudiated ever since the
bank closed it's doors on the 23rd day
of October last If the State Bank
and Trust Company was not insOlvent
when it closed its doors, it certainly
us not insolvent at the present time.
1he action of the State Bank COmmis
sion means simply this; the proposed
scheme of reorganization which it
claims to have originated, and which
it represented to have taken up as an
independent scheme of its own,
proved to be an abject failure, or

 Wave Makes Havoc.

Rome, Dec. 29-Popc Plus was sw distressed today when he received lat CT news of the awful loss of life and property by the earthquake in south- ern Italy and Sicily that he shed tears.

 The dispatches said that 40,OC0 were rendered homeless and that thousands had been burned alive in their homes.
 After kneeling fervently in prayer his holiness arose and said that he felt his place was to go amid his suffering children.
 II was his firm intention to order that instructions be given for the jour- ney to Messina. but his physicians and those in attendance upon him insisted that it would be impossible for him to undertake such fatiguing expedition in the present condition of his health.
 Further shocks of earthquake oc- cured today. adding to the ruin and panic throughout the department of Gala bria and over the island of Sicily.
 Great loss of life and destruction of houses. public buildings and churches are reported at Flordia. Noto, Chiara- monto. Nittoria. Paterno. Terranova, Marianopoli, Marc. Mineo, Augusta, Patti, Castroreale, Montagano and Bar celona
