BANK CLOSES DOORS
THE ORIENTAL or NEW YORK In
TROUBLE.


| New York, Jan. 31.--The Oriental
Bank, on which run Of depositors was
started yesterday. did not open for
business today.
A notice was posted on it's doors an
nounclng that the institution was closed
by order of the State Superintendent of
Banks. The Oriental is a State bank,
having q capital Of $4,000. According
to It's last statement II owed to indi-
vidual depositors, 47,5T6,sif, and to
banks. bankers and brokers, 93,47T,25
It has a surplus fund OF e912,0 and
undivided profits of s303.s47.
O. 8. Leonard. a State bank examiner,
was placed in charge OF the tnstitu-
ton this morning. A line OF depositors
at Broadway and John street at an
early hour today and when the hour
for opening arrived, there were about
seventy-ave depositors In line, some of
whom had already been standing for
several hours In the extreme cold. As
soon az the closing was announced this
line melted away.
The recent troubles Of the oriental
date from the failure of the Borough
Bank OF Brooklyn and the International
Trust Company IN october last. The
Oriental was q depository for the capt.
tai stock of the trust cornpony. when
e was organized By W ~ cow and
j4fl&rr taNS = Z s. n z s7sfyegs. ~ ssnFng NH
Bans closed It was dfae0veFaa that the
oFientaF Bank had loaned ae $4,000
and 4 was asserted that this was re-
turned to the Oriental as part Of the
capital stock OF the International Trust
Company.
Richard w. Jones, Jr., President of
the Oriental Bank. retired in Novem-
Der, and Hugh Kelly, a well-known
commission merchant, was elected Pres
fdent. ~
Twelve Of the leading financial In
stitutions OF the city volunteered yes
terday to assist the distressed ;nstitu-
tion to the extent of 81 1000 900. in cash,
provided the directors would become
individually responsible for the loan.
The majority of the directors agreed
to this. but there were some among
their number who were unable TO do
so, and the plan failed.
The directors this morning decided
to place the affairs Of the bank In the
hands of the State Banking Depart
ment.
There was a debit balance of ss49, 900
against the Oriental Bank in the clear
ing house today. Inability to meet this
demand and satisfy the deposits at It's
doors precipitated the closing of the
ofices. Depositors of one OF the small
err state banks in Brooklyn started a
run to withdraw their deposits at the
opening hour today. There were about
hirty in line when the tellers began
to pay and most of the accounts with
drawn were small. Oflcers of the In
stitutIon said the larger depositors
were standing by them, and that they
would be able to stand the run.

BRYAN'S COMMENTS
SAYS 1T IS A BRAVE AND NEEDED
MESSAGE.


Wilmington, Del, Jan. sI.--wm. J.
Bryan tonight issued q statement bear
Ing on the Presidents message sent
TO Congress today. He said he recog-
nised the moral courage OF Roosevelt
In lighting with the opposition he has
to contend with. Referring 10 the
Wall street methods he said that Il
would be safe bet that the financiers
would see that they could place no
dependency on Roosevelt as q friend of
the system. His statement Is in part
as follows:
1T 10 brave message and needed
at this time. All friends OF reform
have reason to rejoice that President
Roosevelt has raised in his high posi-
ton to call attention to the wrongs
that need to be remedied.A He has dis
covered the running sore in our na-
tionaI life. He has pointed out the
corrupung influences that flow from
predatory wealth. and from the nonop-
clistic enterprises which have given UNI
sarned riches to the few who by con
trolling crest indaakrfnu eof the natlus,
have levied tribute upon the whole
country.
Its warnings are entirely In har-
mony with the warnings which Demo-
Gratis have been uttering for more than
q decade and hope that the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate and House will
promptly challenge the Republicans to
meet the issues presented by the Pres
ident."

House. then on the Republican. and cul-
minating in a general demonstration by
the entire body. AS il in anticipation
that something out of the ordinary was
going to happen. there was very full
attendance OF members.
After, passing 2ss pension bills, the
Indian appropriation bill was discussed.
It's consideration had not been COM
pleted when the House at sos p. m.
adjourned until Monday
