Reach ,5O0,000-Widow
Loses $4,000.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 10.-A new record
in embezzlement will be recorded
against c. Hunter Raine, president
of the defunct Mercantile Bank of
Memphis, whose shortage, 1t was esti-
mated o-day, will reach s1,5o0,0o0 or
more. The largest previous indi-
vidual defalcation was that of August
Ropke, of Louisville. who Is serving
ten years in the penitentiary at
Frankfort, Ky, for having taken
$4,000 900 from a Louisville trust
company in 1909.
Auditors going over the books of
the Mercantile Bank to-day uncover
ed another shortage in addition to the
81 100, 900, which Raine, in his cell at
the county jail has admitted he lost
in cotton speculation. The auditors
said that the records of the bank
would show the largest embezzlement
ever known in Tennessee and likely
the largest ever known in the United
| States.
| Efforts are known to be made by
the directors of the defunct Mercan-
tile Bank to replace the money taken
| by RaiHe,- but day It was said that
, only $500, 900 had been pledged by the
| directors. who, under the Tennessee
banking laws, are responsible for all
of the depositors' money.
Among the heavy losers in the fail
, ure of the bank is Mrs. Eldridge
Wright. whose husband was killed
three years ago at Kinmundy, ILL.,.
when an engine crashed into a pri-
! waite car and killed J. T. Harahan,
former president of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, and the party OF men
| who were his guests. Mrs. Wright is
said to have had $4,000 in the bank.
Grand Jury Starts Probe.
With Raine a prisoner in the
Shelby County Grand Jury to-day was
investigating the condition of the
banks accounts. with a view to re-
turning indictments against Raine,
| charging embezzlement and fraudu-
| lent breach of trust. Other indict-
ments were said to be considered to-
| day by the Grand Jurors against the
other officers and directors of the
| bank
The officials of the bank. all OF
| them prominent in financial and So
cIal circles of the South, include Vice

No other banks or business houses
were closed to-day on account of the
failure Of the Mercantile Bank, and
announcements were made to the eff
feet that the defalcations of Raine
would not affect any other institution
in Memphis or other cities.

gan at 11:41 a. m. and lasted inter
mittently for six minutes. The sec
ond began at 1:34 and lasted about
n minute and half.
The Rev. Father Tondorf, chief Of

Georgetown University, made records
Of both series of shocks. They were
distinct but OF only medium force.
The shocks were felt In several
quarters in Albany and in the capitol
the desk OF the Speaker Of the As

tated by the shock, which lasted !
minute and half by the instrument
