ex-Supt. Shumaker, gave rise to rumor
that an understanding had been reached
whereby Huston was 10 be called as wit

Attorneys of neither side would deny
this report. which was the sensational
feature of the opening day. Huston was
the only one of the five defendants who

New York. Jan. o. - President Have
meyer to-day. in his statement to the
newspaper men. said that the National
Bank of North America had suffered "a
run on Saturday which had resulted from
rum0rs about the banks condition. which
rumors. Mr.. Havemeyer said, could not
be traced 10 any source. and which. he
said, he was at a loss to understand. A
new light was shed on the closing of the
bank to-day. and the cause of which led
to the run on Saturday was confirmed by
officers Of the bank
It developed to-day that the action Of
the clearing house committee had no I'M
mediate effect on the action taken by the
directors Of the bank. except in so far as
it was made evident that had they opened
Monday morning the run would have con-
tinued.
Directors and officers Of the bank to-
day let it be known that several days ago
Vice President Henry Chaplin. ir. had sent
out number of letters to friends and TO
out-of-town correspondents. telling them
of the condition of the bank and advising
them that the chance for the banks con-
tinuance in business was slim
Immediately upon receipt of these let
ters the National Bank Of North America
was flooded with heavy Withdrawals
President Havemeyer. became alarmed
and held a hurried conference with those
directors who were in the city. but no
reason for the Withdrawals could be
found, and il was not until Saturday that
the fact that Mr.. Chaplin had written to
various people became known
There was nothing criminal I'm Mr.
Chapin's act" said a director to-day
but 1t seems to me that it was unfair
to the bank and to fits officers that he
did not make the fact known to them.
1t was certainly a strange thing to do
and an act that ] can hardly understand.
Receiver Hanna said that for the next
two or three days he would be busy
checking up and finding out Just where
the money to pay depOsitors was coming
from. 1t Is thought that he will be able
to make an initial payment to the de-
positoTs in about three months. providing
that no bad loans are uncovered. and il
is thought that most of the loans which
were uncertain have already been
charged off the books OF the bank
