PANY SHUT BY ORDER or

DEPOSITS OF TEN MILLION
II Was Started in 1907 by Prominent
Finsncier.-institution's Troubles
Began When Chas. c. Dickin-
son Became Head.

New York, n. Y. - The Carnegie
Trust company, one of the large bank
ing institutions in this city, with de-
posits of nearly 100000. closed it's
doors by order of State Superintend'
ent OF Banks Cheney.
The state banking officers now are
examining the company's books. Off.
Gals of the trust company have made
no statement and the extent OF liabilI-
ties is unknown. Bankers, however.
said depositors would be paid in full.
Carnegie Repudiates Use Of Name.
The organization OF the Carnegie
Trust Company in 1907 by the late
Charles G. Dickinson brings out some
interesting modern financial history.
Mr.. Dickinson interested a number Of
prominent %financiers in the company
and Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary
OF the treasury, who had a large bank.
ing following in the West, was made
president.
Through Mr.. Shaw's connection the
business of the company became large.
The name of Mr.. Carnegie was used
by the organizers In order TO lend
strength to the undertaking, but Mr..
Carnegie, shortly after the formation
OF the company, ~repudiated the use of
his name in connection with the com
pany.
Mr.. Dickinson, the organizer. who
was formerly a state bank examiner.
became vice president Of the company
and sought TO dictate to a large de
gree the management of the company.
After about a year Mr.. Shaw resigned
and Mr.. Dickinson became president.
Troubles Of the Carnegie Trust com
pany developed when Mr.. Dickinson
attempted to form "A chain of banks
with the Carnegie trust as a parent
institution. Control of the Van Dord-
en- Trust company, the Nineteenth ward
bank, and Twelfth ward bank was
sought and a syndicate had secured
control of the Van Borden company
and was heavily purchasing securities
of the other banks when the state
banking department put a stop to the
plan.
During the Dickinson regime the
Carnegie Trust company became in
volved with the Fidelity Funding COM
pany, which failed, causing many Cath
Ollie institutions throughout the coun-
try considerable financial loss.
Changes Heads Frequently.
Mr.. Dickinson resigned and Joseph
b. Reichmann temporarily took the
presidency in order to effect some re-
forms and eliminate certain paper held
by the institution. Mr.. Reichmann re-
tired several months ago and j. Il.
Howell, formerly president of the
Fourth National bank of Nashville.
Tenn, became president.
Tho city of New York had on de-
post with the Carnegie Trust at the
close OF business s650,000.
Not long after Mr., Dickinson had re-
tired he died In a hospital here, and 1t
was said that the cause of his death
was the inhalation of poisonous gases
i'm the laboratory of a chemist in
Scranton. His death was SO sudden
that it gave rise to rumors that he had
committed suicide.

Los ANGELES PROBE ENDS
WHOLESALE MURDER BY MEANS
OF DYNAMITE.
twenty-five Bills Found, but Humber
Of Defendants Not
Known.

Los Angeles, Jan. I. - The grand
jury in the Los Angeles Times ex-
plosion case returned % indictments,
but it is not known how many per
ors were named.
Wholesale murder by means of dyn-
amite is understood to be the charge
set forth in all the indictments, but
II is believed that not more than three
or four men are named in the true
bills.
The return of the indictments fol-
lowed a disaster that excited the PEG
pie of Los Angeles to a degree that
for a few days %bordered almost upon
panic and resulted in the offering OF
rewards aggregating almost 800, 900.
Union labor, which the Times and
its proprietors had opposed, was
brought into the situation and when
the special grand jury was impanelled
on October 20, it was Immediately con-
fronted with two conflicting theories.
Ohe of these supported by the find
ings of an investigating committee APP
pointed by Mayor Alexander, was that
the Times plant had been blown up
by dynamite conspirators. The other
presented by a committee named by
the state buildings trades convention,
then in session here, was that gas
was responsible.
More than 40 witnesses, the majority
of them identified with the union labor
movement, were summoned from San
Francisco and other cities. In all, the
grand jury examined more than 200
persons, who, in the opinion of detec-
tives hat worked here and in San
Francisco, could throw some light on
the alleged murder plot.
J. B. Bryce, NJ. A. Schmidt and
David Kaplan are three suspects in
the case. They were in this city for
a few hours after the explosion, but
subsequently disappeared.
According to the detectives, Bryce,
Schmidt and Kaplan purchased from a
San Francisco powder firm the dyna-
mite used to destroy the Times build
ing and hat which later was found in
the internal machine planted at the
residence of Felix J. Zeehandlaar, sec
rotary of the Merchants and ManufaC-
turers' association. This organization
had opposed the extension of labor
unions in this city.
Two days ago an additional reward
Of $4,000 was formally offered by the
county board of supervisors for their
capture.

tration bill of 1910. A railroad build
err and owner himself. Mr.. Elkino had
intimate knowledge of the questions
affected by this legislation.
He was the champion Of The bill of
1910 and as such fought for it's pas
sage for many months.
Mr.. Elkins was as popular on the
Democratic as on the Republican side
Of the senate chamber. Nor could he
be persuaded to deny to any one an
opportunity to be heard, no matter
how great the delay or Inconvenience
caused by granting all demands for
time. Hence, when, after the passage
Of the bill, the late Senator Dolliver,
who had been one of the chief critics
Of the measure, warmly complimented
Mr.. Elkins, there was universal APP
prevail of his commendatory remarks.
MI. Elkins took a special interest
in legislation which dealt with the
tariff, the railroad regulation and the
development of the natural waterways.
He was one of the first movers for
an investigation into the high cost of
living, which was inaugurated during
the second session of the sixty-first
congress.
Some Achievements.
Among the achievements standing
to Senator Elkins' credit is the pas
sage of the Elkins antitrust bill soon
after he entered the senate, legislation
providing for many important improve
ments of the Ohio, Kanawha and Big
Sandy rivers; innumerable amend
ments { o the railroad bills of 1907 and
1919 and many notifications Of the
tariff. He 1t was who first suggested
the use of the corps of engineers of
the army in building the Panama can
al.
Mr.. Elkins was born in Ohio in 1S41.
While still very young he went with
his fathers family to Missouri. He
was one of the first graduates from
the University of Missouri and as early
as 1864 went to New Mexico, where
he lived for a number of years, becom.
ing in succession attorney general,
United States district attorney, terri
torial senator and delegate in congress
from that territory.
While serving as delegate in con-
gress Mr.. Elkins married the eldes:
daughter of Henry G~assaway Davis.
then senator from West Virginia.
Soon after his marriage he established
his home in that state, and there he
built up a great fortune, largely thru
the development of the OF
