MAY ARREST THE
NEGRO BANKERS
True Reformers' Institution Said
to Have Received Deposits Al
ter Notice of Insolvency.
Richmond. Va. Special.-

Richmond, Va, Special
II looks very much as II tho negro
officials OF the wrecked Savings Bank
OF the True Reformers have been
guilty OF gross violation OF the, law.
which may even subject some of
them to a charge OF felony.
According to facts recently brought
out. they received deposits even after
they knew the institution was insolv-
emit. or. rather. after they had been
notified as TO the shaky condition of
the bank.
A statute covering crimes OF this
sort makes the offense embezzlement
and provides imprisonment either in
the jail or penitentiary. according to
the discretion OF the jury.
The bank officials. 1t appears, were
informed Thursday, October 10th, by
State Bank Examiner c. G. Barks-
dale. that in his opinion their institu-
ton was insolyent Notwithstanding
& 0Rhey continued to receive depos-
Tuntil the afternoon OF Tuesday
October 25th, when Sam w. Bigger,
bailif Of the Corporation Commission,
served official notice on them. Since
that time, of course. no deposits have
been received.
Some question arises as to whether
or not Mr.. Barksdale's information as
to the insolvency OF the bank was an
official notice. But be this as IL may
It certainly sufficed to let the bank
officials know the condition Of the
institution, and after that they as
suredly took big chances when they
continued to receive deposits.
Another nice question arises as to
the disposition of the funds received
after Mr.. Barksdale told the negroes
about the condition of the bank. Shall
this money be merged with the gen.
eral assets of the bank. or shall it
be duly returned to the depositors in
the fulness of time? Probably the
point will have to be decided by the
courts.
Counsel for the bank has advised
Receiver William A. Moncure to set
opinion expressed by Mr.. Barksdale
and to place the money in another
bank.
Under a most peculiar-not to say
neutrality-suspicious. of the recently en-
acted bank law, the State officials
can give out no information concern
Ing the affairs of the bank or the
things leading up to it's failure.
A literal observance of the inhi-
bition means that they cannot even
notify the Commonwealth's Attorney
of any Irregularities that may have
been detected, and as matters stand
now Mr.. FolkeS knows naught about
the institution. save what he has
picked up from the papers or through
other outside sources.
Another blow has fallen on the fra
ternal order Of the True Reformers
as result of the failure of the bank.
Acting Superintendent of Insurance
Daniel Curry. of Washington, follow
ing the lead of the Virginia Bureau,
has revoked the license of the order,
so that it can no longer do business
in the District of Columbia.
The effect of this may be well
imagined, when IL is known that the
True Reformers have Isis members
in the District and also own prop
erty there.

COTTON RECEIPTS
PORT OF RICHMOND
Richmond. Va. Snecial.-

hlcnmOnus va, special
Reaching the grand total of sac
445.65 collected at the port of Rich
mond during the month of October
1910, the customs receipts for this
port have broken all records for
single month during the history Of
the port.
Collections for the corresponding
month last year amounted to $1S,-
42S.63.
The greatest amount ever collected
at this port in one month prior TO
this was March, 1907, when customs
receipts amounted TO $31,039.
This exceptional increase can only
be attributed to the growing impor-
tance of the port" explained Collec-
tor Benjamin b. Arnold this afternoon
as he announced the figures with no
little degree of satisfaction. "Of
course, Christmas goods figure to no
little extent in the imports, but that
only bears out the statement that the
port is growing in Importance as
heretofore these same goods have
come to the merchants i'm Richmond.
but have been imported through an
other port of entry"
Mr.. Anold further stated that every
month since the starting of the new
fiscal year has shown an Increase over
the corresponding month Of the pre-
ceding year. 1t is expected that the
total collections for the fiscal year Will
exceed by many thousands of dollars
any other year in the ports hist DRY.
