BANKS MUST HAVE
UNIFORM SYSTEM.
Bookkeeping Order Is Issued as
Result OF Quanah
Disaster.

Washington December 29.-Dis-
closures following the forced liqulda-
ton of the Quanah National Bank, OF
Quanah, Tex, ten days ago, caused
the Comptroller of the Currency to-
day to issue an order directing every
one of the 1900 national banks in the
United States to install what prac-
tically amounts to uniform system
of bookkeeping.
Investigation of the Quanah Bank
disclosed that it had been doing bust
ness for the last two years, although
undoubtedly insolvent and inspected
at regular intervals by national bank
examiners; that during that time the
examiners were unable to learn the
banks true condition, largely because
the management refused to keep a
proper record of its business trans
actions, and that the entire capital of
$4,000 and probably some of the
$3.50 600 surplus was paid out TO stocR-
holders as dividends.
In a statement issued to-day, Comp
troller Murray comedies that his en-
aminers We're hoodwinked for two
years by the way the bank handled its
notes.
Reports to headquarters show that
an examiner finally did become sus-
picious shortly before the banks clos

books he installed. This the officials
did under protest, the report says; but
they abandoned thu new system to re-
turn to the old two days later, after
the examiner had left town. Return
ing to Quanah unexpectedly, the eX-
aminer found the, change and reported
1t by telegraph to Washington.
To insure system of bookkeeping
by which the true condition of aNna-
tional bank can be determined at any
moment, the order issued to-day d.
rects examiners. on finding a bank
whose condition they cannot find, to
report the fact to washington and
give the management of the bank
thirty days to install the necessary
books.
