ORIENTAL BANK CLOSES
BY ORDER OF
STATE
State Institution Troubled by
Loss Of Quarter Million
Dollars.
DIRECTORS.UNABLE
TO SECURE AID

New York. Jan. 3l.-The oriental
bank, on which a run was started
yesterday, failed to open its doors
this morning and a notice posted on
the front of the building stated that
the bank had been closed by order
of the state superintendent of banks.
The Oriental is a state institution,
having capital of $750,000. BY It's
last statement II owed depositors ST.
576,S11 and to banks and brokers
S3,477252. Il had a surplus of $9l2,-
900 and undivided profits of $3O3,
S4z.
G.. S. Leonard, state bank examiner
was placed in charge of the institu-
ton. When the bank closed there
were seventy-five people in line wait
ing TO draw their deposits. some of
them having been there for several
hours in the extreme cold.
The trouble with the Oriental dates
from the failure OF the Borough Bank
OF Brooklyn, to which the Oriental
had loaned S25O,OOO. The Oriental
was forced to use S2,4O0.0O0 clearing
house certificates and when the clear
llE mouse EeIuScQ ~ ISSUE HloIG Cti
tifcates depositors began withdraw
ing their money, taking out about
100000.
Twelve OF the leading financial in
stitutlons OF the city yesterday agreed
to assist the Oriental to the extent
of 100000 cash II the directors
would become individually responsible
for the loan. The majority of the
directors agreed to this, but some
were unable to do so. and the plan
failed The directors at a meeting
today decided to place the bank in the
hands OF the state banking depart
ment,
Charles f. Levy, one Of the direct
ors announced today that none of the
depositors would lose anything as q
result Of the bank closing.

in his death. has as yet received no
confirmation other than the boys

But, though Fastening to explain
that they did beat the boy, the dis

BURDEN OF PROOF
RESTS ON PROSECUTION
Defendant Is Entitled TO Benefit
Of Doubt. But Insanity Must
Be Clearly ShoWn--Thdw
Family All Present at
Closing Session

New York Jan. 31.-Today, for
the second time, the fate of Harry X.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White,
passed into the hands of jury of
his peers. The jury retired at 11:40
o'clock and 1t is improbable ver-
dict will be reached before tomorrow,
IL at all.
Justice Bowling began reading his
instructions to the jury as soon as the
court convened this morning. He
impressed upon the jurors that the
burden to prove that Thaw is sane
rests upon the prosecution through
out the trial.
"If from all the evidence introduce
ed In this case you entertain a rea-
sonable doubt of the defendants SAN
ity," he said, "the defendant is surely
entitled to the benefit OF that doubt.
You must be absolutely certain he
was insane at the time he committed
the deed, and otherwise must hold
him responsible for 1t
Must BE Sure.
"Our statute provides that the only
persons who can be excused from
criminal responsibility are those who
suffer from such a defect of reason
that they either do not know the ma
ture or quality of their actions, or do
not know that the act is wrong.
"Some may hold that this test Is
too hard, but 1t is the law. 1t Is
clear, explicit and reasonable.
Mark you, the law says defect OF
reason and / must instruct you that
defect of reason is not the opinion a
man may hold in regard to the JUS
tice or correctness of his own acts.
or his opinion that the laws of the
land are wrong. Hatred and revenge
are not insanity, and cannot be con-
strued as such. Most crimes of this
nature are committed from just
such motives as these"
The jury retired Immediately after
hearing the Instructions. They asked
that all the exhibits introduced in the
trial be sent to the jury room, which
Is an indication that they will spend

COnllnueS'
The administration and those who
support its views are not only not
engaged in. an a-srsults OF property
nut ae strengous upholders OF the
rights OF property.
States His Position.
Under no circumstances would we
countenance attacks upon lawabiding
property, or do aught but condemn
those who hold up rich men as be-
ing evil men because of their riches.
on the contrary, our whole effort is
to insist upon conduct, and neither
wealth nor property nor any other
class distinction. as being the proper
standard by which to judge the ac-
tions of men. For the honest man of
great wealth We have a hearty re-
gard, just as we have a hearty regard
for the honest politician and honest
newspaper. But part of the move
ment TO uphold honesty must be
movement to frown on dishonesty.
We attack only the corrupt men of
wealth, who find in the purchased
politician the most efficient instru-
ment of corruption and in the pur-
chased newspaper the most efficient
defender of corruption. our main
quarrel is not with these agents and
representatives of the interests, They
derive their chief power from the
great sinister offenders who stand be-
hind them. They are but puppets
who move as the strings are pulled.
1t is not the puppets, but the strong
cunning men and the mighty forces
working for evil behind and through
the puppets with whom we have to
deal We seek to control law defy
ing wealth. in the first place to pre-
vent its doing dire evil TO the repub-
! lie. and in the next place To avoid
the vindctive and dreadful radical
( ism which, IL left uncontrolled, IL is
certain In the end to arouse. Sweep
B ing attacks upon all property, upon
all men OF means, without regard to
. whether they do well or Ill, would
sound the death-knell Of the republic
and such attacks become inevitable II
decent citizens permit those rich men
whose lives are corrupt and evil to
domineer in swollen pride, uncheck-
ed and uuhindered, over the destin-
les OF this country We act in no vim
dictive spirit and we are no respect
ers of persons. II a labor union does
drong, We oppose il as firmly as We
| oppose a corporation which does
wrong; and We stand equally stoutly
for the rights Of the man OF wealth
and for the rights OF the wage work
er. We seek TO protect the property
Of every man who acts honestly, of
every corporation that represents
wealth honestly accumulated ans
honestly used. We seek TO stoI
wrongdolng, and we desire to punish
the drongdoers only so far as Is
necessary to achieve this end.
The president calls attention to the
work done by the administration in
controlling corporations, the results
achieved through the prosecution OF
trusts and the efforts the corporations
make to discredit the administration
with the public. In this connection
the "innocent stockholder," he says
Is not innocent when he purchases
stock in companies he knows to be
corrupt, and any stockholder who
does not try TO secure honest man
agement OF a company in which he Is
interested has no right to complain
against the government for its effort;
to make the corporations obey the
