BOSS L0R|MER ID STAND TRIAL Former Dictator of Republican Party Faces Jury In Chicago Court
 for Looting Bank.

CHICAGO, April 1O.-Former Unit ed States Senator William Lorimer, Chicago's "blonde boss" of other years, is scheduled to go on trial be- fore Judge Kersten today on charges of conspiring to loot the defunct La Salle Street Bank & Trust company Lorimer was president of the bank when it was clolsed June 16, 1914, by State Auditor James Brady.
 Organized in May, 1910, the La Sale Street National bank became one of the most popular fiancial in stitutions in the city. It's capital was $1,0OO,00O with a surplus of $250, 900. Charles B. Munday and other men known in financial circles were on it's directorate. ' ~
 Under Lorimer's direction the bank was denationalized in October, 1912. Constant clashes with the federal bank inspectors has been assigned as the cause for the standardization. It became state bank with a capi' tai stock of $1.250.0oo. Immediately there was organized as subsidiaries to the central institution five banks carrying small accounts.
 When the bank rendered it's state ment which preclpitated the closure proceedings by Auditor Brady it de- clared' its resources at $5,5s2,472. Of the resources there were notes pay able to the bank aggregating $1,291,- 127. The examiner reporting the con- 3dition of the bank classed $1,746,0S4 of the resources desperate and no value" and s763.6 .6S7 "slow and doubt full" Much of the money was loaned to the contracting firm of Lorimer & Gallagher, now in bankruptcy.
 Federal indictments charging mis- appropriation of the banks funds while it was a national bank are pending against Lorimer.
