NATIONAL BANK
BOOKS CHANGED
Rule Just Promulgated Affects
400 Institutions in the
United States.
TEXAS FINANCIERS FOOLED
INSPECTOR MANY YEARS
Methods Enabled Them to Pay
Out Their Capital as
Dividends.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Disclosures
following the forced liquidation OF the
Quanah National bank OF Quanah. Tex.
ten days ago, caused the comptroller OF
the currency today to issue an order di
recting every one of the ZOO national
banks in the United States to install
what practically amounts to a uniform
system OF bookkeeping.
Investigation disclosed that the bank
had been doing business for the last two
years. although undoubtedly insolvent- II
had been inspected at regular intervals
by national bank examiners.
Within that time the examiners were
unable to learn the banks true condition.
largely because the management refused
TO keep a proper record OF Its transac-
tions.
1t also showed that the entire capital
OF $50. 000 and probably some of the $685..
900 surplus was paid out 10 stockholders
as dividends.
In the statement, Comptroller Murray
says his examiners were hoodwinked for
two years by the way the bank handled
within these two years" the comp
troller says, 1.-The bank carried compara-
lively little past due paper. all the notes
having the appearance OF being promptly
paid or renewed. The bank had no dis
count register. and the various earning
accounts were kept III SuCn u IdIileI dS
TO make 1t practically impossible to audit
them
by this method OF accounting. the
bank without detection by the examiner
had the doubtful and worthless notes re-
newed. with the interest added to the
notes at the time OF renewal.
This interest on worthless paper had
not been collected and was credited TO
some one OF the earning accounts. AS
the dividends were regularly paid, this
resulted in paying the capital out TO
shareholders as dividends
Reports to headquarters show that an
examiner finally became suspicious short
ly before the banks closing and insisted
that a new set OF books be installed This
the officers did under protest, the report
says. but they abandoned the new Sys-
tenn to return to the old one two days
later. after the examiner had departed
Returning to Quanah unexpectedly, the
examiner found the change and reported
il by telegraph 10 Washington.
To insure n system of bookkeeping by
which the true condition of national
bank can be determined at any mo-
ment. the order issued today directs eN-
amners. on finding bank whose eX-
act condition they cannot determine 10
report the fact by telegraph TO Washing

bank thirty days to install the necessary
books.
Comptroller's order "the examiner will
return TO the bank at its expense to de-
termnc If instructions have been COM
piled with. and ii the necessary books
have not been installed. he will remain in
the bank, at its expense. until such
books are installed under the direction
and supervision OF the examiner
No proceedings TO fix the responsibility
