COOKEVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 1O--The
Bank of Cookeville and the Peoples
Bank. both state institutions, failed TO

morning The former, it is stated,
was embarrassed by over-loans ana
the latter on learning that the Bank
oe Cookeville failed to open, also re
NAMED closed, fearing run by the
denositors. Representatives from two
Nashville banks were in conference
with the directors of the Bank OF
Cookeville today with the hope OF
reaching some agreement by winch
the hank can be re-opened within the
newt few DAYS. The conference was
in session at midnight without any
definite nlans formulated. 1t is hard
w nrobabIe that the Peoples BanH
will open it's doors this morning.
The Peoples Bank, it is said, If
owned by the Bank of Cookeville. The
capital stock of the latter is $4,000
while that of the Peoples Bank IL
only $4,000.
When the doors of the Bank o.
Cookeville were closed today it is saie
that the cash on hand was approx
imately $1,000 and the deposits
amounted to between 100000 an'
$500, 900. The loans amount to 1928
Os2. It is thought, however, that
all of the notes can be collected tn
assets will exceed the liabilities by a
least $4,000. That was Statement
given out by member present at tn
conference last night.

After heated discussion that at
times bordered on the personal the
Maury County Court today voted to
appoint a committee of five to investi-
gate the County Asylum. The report
was adopted by a viva voce vote, and
the magistrates did not go on record.
The fight in the court today was an

asked. True to the prediction, the

was followed by Rev. George h.
Mack. who in turn was followed by
DIR. Robt. Pillow Other members OF
the committee made no addresses.
DR.. Porter and DR.. Mack, the first
two speakers, were diplomatic in their
uterances. 1t remained for Or. Pillow
to explode the bomb shell. he did
by declaring that when he visited the
asylum a number of years ago ne
found conditions existing there that
were appalling The unfortunates, he
said, were treated worse than dunn
hrutes. One patient he attended had
been swarming with body lice. DR.
Pillow explained that this visit was
made several years ago. Esq. Den

commissioners, was quick to reply tc
the committee, saying in reasonably
plain language that scheme was OF
