No such accusation has been lodged against

the humble potato entirely scatheless. The

found in quantities that are likely to prove

the banks difficulties came as a surprise
10 the Treasury officials in Washington.
George II. CaTagan president OF the
bank said yesterday that the institution
would pay dollar for dollar If the depos-

ried that the bank held a large quantity
Of questionable paper. The bank had
only $4,000 cash in hand on Saturday, al
though by law the minimum was fixed
at 10000. It will probably be several
weeks before Mr.. Chapman will report.
He said yesterday that he knew of no
reason why the bank should not be able
to get on its feet again.
The difficulty will mar Bayonnes Chris

tors whose funds are tied up are clerks,
