OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Sept. 3O.--
Oklahoma today IS experiencing the
first practical working of the bank
guarantee law. Four hundred deposit
tors Of the suspended Columbia Bank
~ Trust Company have withdrawn
their deposits being paid from funds
furnished by the State banking board.
At no time since the bank closed has
there been a semblance OF "A run and
the depositors seemingly feel perfectly
secure and have made no demonstra-
tion since the suspension was announc-
cd The exact condition of the bank S
affairs is not known. Following his
statement that the suspension was a
direct result of the attack on the
Guarantee system at the bankers con-
Vcntion in Chicago. Examiner Young,
who is i'm charge refused to discuss the
situation He will make a statement
of the banks condition soon.
The most interested people in tho
state are the Oklahoma bankers, whose
action in Withdrawing reserve funds is
said TO have brought about the failure
The executive committee of the State
Bankers Asso.. was called 20 protest an
emergency two per cent assessment on
capital stock made necessary by the
suspension of the Columbia. This
emergency provision Of the law. il was
expected it would never be called into
use because it was supposed there
would be no call on the fund until the
payment of the regular tax provided
had created an ample fund to meet al
cases.
The bankers meeting was called on
and held in abeyance until the emer-
gency assessment against the stoci
holders Of the Columbia, under tho
double liability clause is made. Thi:
action will bring in 100000. With thi4
sum added to the remainder Of th'
State boards emergency fund it is be
lieved the board can carry the banl
until the assets of the institution car
be turned into cash.
The Columbia was one of the big
gest banks in the state. 1t carries
the reserves of a majority Of the Okla
homa banks and if It could not NEE
its liabilities a panic would follow. Al
though this is widely known there ha
been no evidence of a disposition q
crowd any of the banks that might D.
affected and business is going on g
usual.
The banks liabilities are about 81,
100000. The actual cash which tn
State board has to meet demand
amounts to $SSO,OO0, and there wa
$4,000 cash in the bank. with IA
state boards sum 100000 from Il.
stock holders viii be secured and th
possible emergency assessments O
other banks would add sS75.O00. It !
intimated by the state board that III

assessment unnecessary,

afternoon for the first time on any

That the piece will strike popular
