.fxAnllNtR DRUNK (lOstS BANK.
.charte Made by DIRECTORS Of Plttsbufg
Bank Which Was Closed
! 5..s...s3 BY Official.

Pittsburg, Sept. Directors Of the
Cosmopolitan bank, which was closed
Saturday morning by order of the con-
troller of the currency at the instiga-
ton Of Bank Examiner John B. Cum
ningham, while, it is alleged, the lat
ter was under the influence of liquor,
will hold meeting on Tuesday, at
which time an appeal will be made to
the controller Of the currency for per-
mission to reopen the bank, on the
ground that there was no cause for its
being closed and that the bank is in
better condition today than 1t has
been for six months.
Yesterday E. A. Kitzmiller, vice
president of the bank, who among 9TH
ers charges Cunningham with being
intoxicated, notified the directors of
the meeting.
Bankers Are RiIed.
Intense indignation exists among
bankers of the city over the closing Of
the Cosmopolitan, as well as at what
is described as the high-handed man
ner in which State Bank Examiner
James M. Cover entered the Mount
Washington Savings and Trust COM
rany en- Saturday and closed that
bank, opening it again after he had
had a conference with State Banking
Commissioner Berkeley at Harrisburg.
For months past the bankers Of
Pittsburg have been in bad frame Of
mind and believe that several of the
exposures here could have been avoid
ed had it not been for the oficiousness
of the government officials. The mat
ter reached climax with the arrest
of former clerk in the First National
bank several months ago for a theft
that was years old and which had
long since been made good.
Denies He Was Drunk.
Practically the only statement that
was issued yesterday by persons rep
resenting the government was that Of
John B. Cunningham, the bank exam
liner, who is so seriously accused. The
burden of his remarks is that he was
not drunk. Visited at his home at
Rosslyn, where he was taken yester-
day afternoon by friends, Mr.. Cunning
ham sent word down that he could not
be seen.
