The point on which the English
| bankers are believed to desire per-
sonal explanation from Sir George
is the creation of a 100000, coo
credit fund by the Bank of England
to protect American securities which
may be sold on the reoping of the
London exchange. Such a fund ia
said to have looked to London 1nan-
ciers like an additional load for
shoulders already overburdened.
Whatever may be the ultimate re-
suit, however, the negotiations prob
ably will be suspended for some time.
Further representations probably will
be made through the British ambas-
sador.
There was belief in some quar-
tiers here tonight that the fact that
London bankers were not wholly
pleased with the plans proposed had
been known in New York and the
promised reopening to a limited de-
gree of the New York exchange was
delayed on this account.
Secretary McAdoo's Statement.
Announcing the departure of Sir
George Secretary McAdoo gave out
this staement:
"Sir George Paish has just inform
ed me that he has received a cable
from England saying suggestions
submitted by the committee of New
York bankers are under considera-
ton by London bankers, but as some
points are not clear the chancellor Of
the exchequer has requested Sir
George and Mr.. Blackett to return to
England to explain the situation
more fully. They expect to sail,
therefore, in the next few days.

lish the recommendation Of the New
York bankers until the London bank
ers have considered them fully and

JURY WILL INVESTIGATE
WILL LOOK INTO AFFAIRS OF
TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK.
Americas National Bank. Was
a State Institution.


AMERICUS, Ga.-The affairs OF
the defunct Americas Trust and Saw
ings Bank, which, with it's parent
institution, the Americas National
went to the wall in February last
are to be inquired into by the grand
turv now in session here in all likeli-
hood. The savings bank was a state
institution, operated under a charter
from the state of Georgia, and it is
clearly within the province of the SUI
perior court grand jury, now in SEES
sion here, to investigate the failure
of the bank.
The failure of the national or pa
rent bank was recently investigated
by the United States court grand jury
with the result that it's cashier, NJ
NJ. Lowrey, and Assistant Cashiers
Wheatley and Hawkins were indicted
for alleged abstraction of funds and
falsifying accounts.
The state savings bank was part
and parcel of the national, and was
operated under the same roof and by
the same officers. It had a capital
stock of SIS, 200 and deposits OF
probably $4,000, both of which
seemed to have been wiped out to a
great extent, in the wreck of the
Americas National. W. w. Dykes
as receiver, has charge of the affairs
of the little state bank which waE
largely absorbed by the big one.

THE PLANS MAY FALL THROUGH

American OfncIalS Are NOT so OpC1-
mistic of Success. Believed That
London Bankers Are Not Pleased
With the Proposition.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Negotia-
lions for clearing up the information
al financial situation and paving the
way for reopening of the London ex-
change were halted today when Sir
George Paish and Basil B. Blackett
of the English treasury left suddenly
for New York. They expect to sail
this week for England, where, ac-
cording to Secretary McAdoo, they
have been called by Chancellor Lloyd
George to explain the American pro-
posals sent to London several weeks
ago by cable.
The message recalling Sir George
evidently came as a surprise and
some officials were inclined to be less
optimistic than during the past few
days about the success of the Ameri-
can plan. 1t was recalled that Eng
lish bankers were not at all anxious
to have Sir George come to America,
for it was said it was hard for them
to understand American unwilling
ness to pay obligations in gold when
this nation has a stock of that metal
at least three times as large as that
in the Bank of England.
