CRASHFO[lOWS
BANK FAILURE
MEXICAN NATIONAL PACKING
COMPANY FOLLOWS UNITED
STATES BANKING CO.
COMPANY WILL CONTINUE FEED
ING Ns-ENGLISHMEN
AT ITS HEAD.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The Mexican
National Packing company, a New
Jersey corporation, controlled by Eng
lish investors, and operating slaughter
houses and packing houses in Mexico
under concessions from the Mexican
government, failed today with liabil-
tiles, including stock, of '$37 100000.
Assets were not announced, but it
is estimated that they are in excess
of the liabilities The company will
continue to operate it's plans Henry
de Kay was appointed receiver by
Judge tanning in the United States
circuit court in New Jersey this af-
ternoon.
The appointment of a receiver was
not brought about by any condition
in the livestock market, but by the
tying up of part of the companys
funds in the United States Banking
company in Mexico City, which sus-
pended recently Samuel Inter
myer, as counsel representing English
bankers and other investors in the
property said tonight:
while we have no definite figures
showing the position between the
packing company and the bank at the
time of the suspension of the bank,
we are advised that the packing COM
pany had more than $500, 900 in gold
to it's credit in the United States
Banking company at the time of the
banks suspension.
THE tying up of the packing COM
pany's immediate resources and the
uncertainty as to the possible action
that might be taken led to the ap-
pointment of a receiver to conserve
the assets until a settled course can
be pursued. The company continues
operations, and all it's plants are main
tanned at their volume and supplying
people of Mexico with their meat pro-
ducts. 1t is not expected that these
operations will be interferred with.
Arrangements were under way in
England for furnishing the company
with a large amount Of additional
capital at the time of the suspension
Of the bank. These arrangements will
proceed without interruption"
Among the concessions held by the
company is an exclusive right to
slaughter cattle in Mexico City until
1926. Its share capital is $22.500.0 900,
and it has a bonded debt secured by
a mortgage of about $12.500,000, and
a floating debt of $2000,0O0 of which,
however, only 100000 is due.
Bonds, stocks and debts are held
mainly in England. The British and
Mexican Trust, limited, of London,
procured the receiver as tho holder
of about $6OO,O00,000 of the bonds, ap-
proximately two-thirds Of the stock,
and as the owner of 100000 floating
debt

POSTAL BANKS
ARE INJURIOUS
IDAHO SENATOR TAKES DECIDED
STAND FOR DEFEAT OF
MEASURE UP.
PROPOSES TO GO
INTO LOANING BUSINESS"
SAYS HE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Should the
it would greatly endanger, if not
destroy, incomes to the amount of
hundreds of millions of dollars, de-
clared Senator Hepburn today The
Idaho senator was engaged in a gen
eral discussion of the bill in connec-
ton with an amendment presented by
Senator SmoOt for the regulation of
the removal Of postal savings deposits
from banks.
He contended that, inasmuch as the
fund under the bill would reach fully
$700,000,000, it would enable the board
of trustees to dictate the rate of in
terest throughout the country.
In other words, the government
purposes to go into the loaning bust
ness he said, and intends to fix the
rate of interest at IA per cent"
In view of this fact, he asked what
the effect would be on incomes de-
rived from funds invested at five and
six per cent.
Should We," he then asked, $50
forget our duty to the widows and
orphans whose funds are thus invest
ed as to disturb the earning capacity
of their investments"
He declared that the bill should be
denCminated an act to constitute the
government a collection agency for
the banks and added that under the
bill it was the purpose to convert the
government into a collection agency
Mr.. Hepburn asserted also that
with the money once deposited there
was no adequate means of obtaining
it's return to the deposition.
Senator Carter called attention to
the fact that, in times of emergency
savings banks generally require a no.
tice of 80 to 60 days for the with
draWal of funds.
One amendment, by Senator Davis
providing for the deposit of postal
funds in banks under state inspection
as well as in those under federal sup
ervision was adopted. Senator Smoot
proposed an amendment providing for
the withdrawal of funds from banks
not willing to pay IA per cent in
terest and it was under discussion
when the senate adjourned.
