which have been a heavy load. Suspen, sion of the Union bank had a bad effect on the Borough, which was known to be in the same position. Superintendent Cheney would not venture an opinion as 10 the condition of the bank, or as to the position of the depositors until the examiners, who are now working on the banks books. have finished work.
 The Borough bank closed it's doors in October, 1907 as a result of the panic. Stories that were told of the institutions funds had been nisappropriated caused the indictment of the president, Howard Maxwell, and the cashier, Arthur D. Campbell. President Maxwell committed suicide a few days later by cutting his throat.
 President Shears of the Borough bank said: "The effect of the closing of the Union bank has been severely felt by the Borough bank during the last few days and showed itself in a quiet but constant withdrawal of deposits, which resulted in exhausting the banks ready cash.
 ''The banks assets, which it is believed are more than adequate to pay all de- positors and stockholders in full, were to a great extent inherited from the for- mer management, which caused it's sus- pension two years ago. The assets are to a considerable extent in real estate property, both in the Borough of Brook lyn and in the suburbs, large portion of which is unimproved
 'The banks inability to market this property, which it held at the time of re- sumption, and exhaustion of it's cash sup- ply. resulting in the closing of the Union bank on Monday, explain the suspension"

BOROUGH BANK OF
 BROOKLYN CLOSED Second Bank Fails Within the
 Past Seven Days
CARRIED HEAVY LOAD
Borough Bank Failed in 1907 But Was Reorganised and Assumed Large Liabilities Which Finally
 Caused It to Close

New York, April 1.-The Borough Bank of Brooklyn closed its doors today and the superintendent of banks has taken possession of the institution. The bank has a capital of s2OO,OOO, with deposits aggre- Is president.
 This is the second bank failure in Brooklyn within a week, the first being the Union Bank of Brooklyn
 At the office of the state superintend- ents of banks the following statement was given out today:
 "A meeting of the board of directors of the Borough Bank of Brooklyn was held at the office of the banking depart night the meeting having been called by President Shears.
 After a conference with the superin- tendent of banks regarding the unusual demands being made upon the institution at its Eighth ward branch and consid- ering the character of the assets, for which the present management is not responsible the board decided to request the superintendent to take possession and
 
 depositors.
 Pursuant to the request and the pro- visions of banking law, the superintendent has possession of the property and busi- ness of the corporation.
 "No further statement regarding the condition of the bank will be made until the inventories have been completed.
 There has been no withdrawal of de- posits from any other institution"
 Superintendent Cheney said that the conditions attending the closing of the bank were almost identical with those which led to the closing of the Union bank As was the case with the latter, the Borough was obliged to suspend dur ing the panic of 1907 and was reorganized after the panic was over The new man. agement was obliged to assume liabilities

 A finer or more intelligent group of men could hardly be assembled than the party of engineers who visited the university yesterday. They are studious and peculiarly alert to every opportunity to learn something or value. They displayed equal interest in the powerful testing of large bars of steel and t%e intricate calculation of the amount of electric current car ried by a wire so fine that 1t could hardly be sen with the naked eye.
 The ladies in the party seemed to enjoy the outing with their husbands and friends immensely and the long trip with the busy hours tramping through the university buildings did not seem to fatigue them in the least. They added much to the pleasure Of the occasion and it was regretted that a larger number was not present.
 The baseball game between the var sity team and the selected team from among the engineers was a great suc- cess and afforded unique amusement for a number of the party In the late aft ernoon. The result of the game was 6 to in favor of the university. The engineers are good hearted fellows and would not take the game from their hosts. The engineers lineup was as follows: Schroeder, second base; Tab Ter, left field; Filler, third base; Da- vis shortstop; Martin, first base; Fear, center field; George Turner, right field Miller, umpire.

Much interest is being taken in Ensley and vicinity over the proposed bond is sue of $4OO,O00 which will be referred to the people next Monday for their appro- val or rejection. There seems to be feeling that if the bond issue is defeated 1t will mean the stoppage of public i'm provements, especially in the suburban districts, and would also mean the im- pairment of the city's credit. The advo- cates of the measure are working hard to secure it's passage, and claim that 1t will carry in both boxes of Beat 45. They state the urgent need of public improve ments will prove a strong factor in the passage of the bill.
