McAdOo's Statement.

Secretary McAdoo issued this state
ment,
The acting comptroller of the cur
rency took charge OF the First-Sec-
ond National bank OF Pittsburg to-
day, because It's directors, at meet
ing held In Pittsburg today. expressed
their inability To make good an I'M
pairment of It's capital and decided
that the wisest thing for all inter-
ests was for the acting comptroller
To take the situation In hand. The

the meantime. also decided that It
was ineXpedient to furnish the
amount OF assistance required TO Keep

Ing condition in Plttsburg is sound,
and no further trouble with the banks
is expected,
The acting comptroller had no al
tentative In the matter but to take
hold of the First Second National
bank TO prevent the withdrawal of
large deposits. which had already be-
gun. and to secure for the small de-
positors equal treatment With the

by the acting comptroller TO further
prompt liquidation of the banks as
sets. so that the deposiiors may be
paid with the least possible delay.
