Previous 10 1898 there was sci.
dom la year that the loss es through
bank burglarles did not amount
to 100000, and in a mum Der of
years the losses amounted to
several times that amount. The
decline of professional bank bur.
glary dates from 1895. In that
year the American Bankers AS
soclation formed a protective
com mittee for the exterminaton
of Dank burglars, and a contract
was entered into with one Cf the
leading detective agencies in the
country.
La 1895 the banks of the coua.
try lost more than 100000
through burglaries. OF the 1888
members last year, having an ag
gregate surplus, capital and de
poslts of more than Sl2,000,000,-
600 only four members suffered
losses from burglarjes, the total
loss Of these four nem oers
amounting to only S4,217. These
four burglaries were committed
by yeggmen, there not beng a
single professional bank burglary
during the year. The extermin-
atlon,pf these yeggmen is now
the chief work of the protective
committee.
