Lancaster, Pa, Apr. 2O.-The Lititz
National bank of Lititz, Pa, failed to
open its doors yesterday. 1t had a
paid-up capital of $1O5,OOO.
No statement of the banks condi-
ton was prepared and the only in
formation /vouchsafed is that the in
stitution made some bad investments
These investments were understood
to be connected with certain local
industrial enterprises which the bank
backed.
Rumors have been afloat for some
time about the condition of the bank
and as result there was a run on
the institution which became very
heavy. One of the ventures in which
the bank was heavily interested was
a starch company, and some time ago
it advanced money to this concern.
Washington, Apr. 20.-It is stated
at the Office of the comptroller of the
currency that the Lititz National bank
recently met with heavy losses which
greatly impaired its surplus and CAPT.
tai. At the date of It's last report the
bank had capital Of $105,000, sur
plus of $4,000, undivided profits Of
$8,776, and deposits of $234,090.

1t is probable that Governor Car

err he shall sign or veto the Balkema
bill prohibiting certain trading stamp
schemes. A number of retailers ap-
peared before the governor and asked
that he sign the bill. But many small.
er retailers object on the ground that
the trading stamp plan is Of great
aid to them in their business. The
Balkema bill provides that each trad,
ing stamp concern must give a prize
commensurate in value with the val
ue of the trading stamps. For In
stance $500 in trading stamps would
entitle the holder to $500 in prizes
and would thus prohibit the wild cat
