THE BANK FAILURE.

Mr.. Francis Coates, ir., g nationa
bank examiner of the Treasury Depart
ment, arrived here from Richmond at
noon today and began the work OF ex'
amining the affairs OF the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Corporation, which
closed its doors Thursday morning fol
lowing the appointment OF receivers.
The receivers say that when Mr.
Coates completes his work, report OF
the affairs of the institution will be
made public.
Judge Norton, one of the receivers,
has been notified by Mr.. r. c. /. Mon
cure, OF the county, who represents
some Of the depositors, that on Satur.
day morning next he will apply. tc
Judge Barley, of the Corporation Court
for the appointment OF an additional
receiver to look after the interests OF the
depositors. The proposition, however,
does not meet with the approval OF
many OF the depositors, or their repre-
sentatives, who think that two receivers
are all that are necessary for the work.
President Rixey is still i'll with pneu-
monia athis Washington home. Be-
sides being president of the Virginia
Safe Deposit and Trust Company, MIR.
Rixey is director Of the Jefferson Ma
tional Bank, OF Charlottesville; the
Second National Bank, OF Culpcpcr,
and the Rappahannock National Bank
OF Washington, Va. Mr.. Rixey will
not again have any connection with the
Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, but will continue on the direc-
tory boards OF the ether banks, accord
ing to his son, c. Jones Rixey, jr. He
realizes that the finances Of the former
institution are in such condition that
it cannot continue in business.
las soon as the affairs OF the bank
can be adjusted the project will be
abandoned" says Mr.. Rixey, ir. I'm
til the books have been gone over we
can make no statement as to what set.
Element will be made with the deposit
tors. It is certain that the doors OF the
bank will remain closed.
Mr.. Coates this afternoon stated that
while in Richmond he had conyersed
with members of the State Corporation
Commission; lie had also seen the state
ments OF the state examiner concerning
the bank and he has also hurrledly
gone over the securities turned over by
Mr.. Rixey to the bank and now sees no
reason why any depositors should feel
any uncasiness about being paid in full.
Mr.. Coates also says that all that IS
necessary now is conservative and
proper handling Of the assets OF the
bank.
There is nothing further 10 report
concerning the closing OF the bank and
except among those Immediately in
terested comment on the subject is
dying out.
