ance of H. Clayton Half
and Doors Are Closed.
OFFICIALS SAY HE
VIOLATED ORDERS
$4,000 Notes Overdue Were
Given by Lumber Concern
and Its Customers.

Islip, Long Island, Dec. 26.-H. Clay

Bank of Islip, which closed its doors
to day, may have to face charges 81
serious character. According to bank
officials, he issued $4,000 worth OF
notes, against the instructions of the
board of directors. These notes, 1t is
said, are overdue and have caused tn
closing of the bank.
aft, supposed t. have been worrying
about the notes, brought on an investi-
cation by federal bank examiner by
disappearing from home December II.
He returned Wednesday.
While examining the BANK afte.
Half had disappeared II. G. Hanna. the
examiner, discovered the forbidden
notes in locked boxes scattered
through the bank. Most of these notes,
it was stated, were given by che Roscoe
Lumber Company, of Long Island City,
and its customers. One of these
customers, it is believed. is Benz min
r. Raynor, president of the bank, who
is carpenter and builde-.
Coupled with the non-payment of the
notes as the cause of the banks coll
Lapse has been the withdrawal by de
positors of about $4,000. There has
been run in progress for several
days. The examiner reported to Wash
ington to-day that the capital and sur
plus of the institution-S42 900 in all
had been wiped out. II had taken
charge, he said, at the request of the
directors.
Despite the run and Haff's disap-
pearance, the closing of the bank this
morning caused great surprise. AL
though few depositors viii lose, 1t IS
believed that the closing Of the insti-
tuition will work hardship on business
men and cause great financial difficult
ties.
The directors said that it might take
six months to straighten out affairs,
but hopes are entertained that re-
opening can be effected by late spring.
Half said this evening: 81 have re-
turned TO Isiip voluntarily, and | am
ready and willing to do anything | can
to helm straighten out the affairs of
the bank. / have rendered my services
to Mr.. Hanna, the examiner in charge,
and will make similar offer to the re-
ceiver. who is expected next week. At
the proper time | will make a further
statement"
The bank was organized seven years
ago with capital stock of $4,000. It's |
resources are said TO be not more than
$25O,000 The bank has earned about
S25, 900 during its existence. It's last T.
quarterly report, dated October /,
showed deposits of Sl21,00
Following his disappearance, the |!
cashier wrote a letter to his wife, in /
which he said that his absence was
with the affairs of the bank. I
An accountant was Immediately put to .
work on the books, and reported that
the books and cash were correct and /
none of the assets was missing.
The only condition in the bank that
could be criticised, it was said, was
that Half had permitted the institution
TO carry some overdue notes. He has
been cashier of the bank since its or
and is also a member of the
real estate firm Of Doxsee & Half. His 4
daughter, Adelaide, is employed in the /
bank.
