Million Dollar Bank
Closes in New York

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. THE
Carnegie Trust company was closed
this morning by the direction OF State
Superintendent of Banks Cheny. It
has a capital of a million and half
and deposits aggregating nine million.
The institution was in serious trouble
in the panic OF 1907. and has never
fully recovered. The ex-president OF
the institution, Charles c. Dickerson,
whose mysterious death on May "a,
1910, following a gas poisoning while
witnessing a chemical demonstration
in Scranton, Pa, has never been thor
oughly solved. He was one Of the
prime movers In founding the Carnegie
Trust company, which opened for busi-
ness Jan. /. 1907. After the company
had been doing business for a few
months, Dickinson resigned in favor OF
Leslie NJ. Shaw, ofrmerly secretary OF
the treasury. Dickinson remained as
vice-president and virtually manager Of
the trust company. Shaw held the
presidents office only few months
and Dickinson was reelected. Shaw's
resignation was due, 1t is said, to poll
tics, Dickinson alleging that the for
mer secretary was beset with "a bee
to become president OF the United
States" Cheny says this morning the
institution is ''unsOund."
