FORD SAID TO BE, BEGINNING TO
REALIZE THE HOPELESS
NESS OF UNDERTAKING.
FR|c|O RECEPTION.
The Lack OF Warmth OF Reception
Accorded Delegates by Norway
Said To BE Disappointing TO
Ford.
BY Chas. T.. stewart, United Press
staff Correspondent.

CHRISTIANx, December 22.-
That Henry Ford is beginning to
realize the hopelessness OF obtaining
concrete results from his peace mis-
sion is generally believed 1t is
Irumored that he plans to end the
cruise in perfunctory manner,
II is evident that he is disappointed
AT the lack of warmth in the reeep-
tion accorded his delegates by the
people OF Norway and the frank hos
.tility on the part of the Danish au-
thorities.
These reports resulted from the
faet that both Ford and Madame
Schemmer. who suggested the cruise,
have been in retirement several days.
Ford is recovering rapidly from
his illness, and will be able to join
his party when they leave for StoeE-
holm tomorrow.
Norwegian students banqueted the
delegates last night. Louis Lochner,
Ford's secretary, notified the stl-
dents that the Detroit manufactures
would contribute s10.000 TO ne"
university building.
Mrs. Catherine Lucky. publicity
agent for Ford, issued a statement
in an address 10 the Norwegian press
d,,lar.ag. that the opinion OF the
American press regarding Ford's en-
terprise bad suddenly turned in his
favor.

SAVINGS BANK
CLOSES DOORS
STATE BANK FOR SAVINGS At
PITTSBURGH CLOSED BY THE
THE EXAMINER.
DEPOSITS TIED UP
Thousands Of School Children De-
posted Their Savings With Bank.
Depreciation of Certain Stocks
Caused the Failure.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec 22.--
The doors of the State Bank for
Savings deposits were closed today
by a state bank examiner. Many
depositors crowded before the doors
in frantic effort to withdraw their
deposits. Depreciation OF Kuhn Sc
curities which were unloaded on the
bank two years ago when the Kuhns
failed caused the bank to close, ac
cording to Receiver Getty.
]. S. and w. s. Kuhn of Pitts
burgh. who were in control of the
bank until two years ago. invested
too much money in water projects
in western states and caused their
failure.
THE closing of the bank is no re-
Election of any one" said Getty.
There was no evidence of mis-
Getty would not say to what ex-
tent the bank would be able to pay
out. Penny savings of thousands of
school children are tied up. Many
who years ago began depositing
small sums have long since gradual
ed from the schools. but they con-
tinued to make their deposits.
The last statement of the bank
made at the close of business on
November IL showed $1,716,512 in
deposits. with surplus and profits of
$455, ,226. The capital was $780,
600 The bank held deposits of
$50 .000 of the city fund and $780,
600 of the board OF education
William Jones, president of the
bank. said he believed so per cent
of the depositors would be paid in
sixty days.
The bank had a fine line of as
sets in addition to the securities
mentioned, said President Jones
After an examination il was de-
cided to close the doors, The cause
was due to a depreciation of some
of the securities held by the bank
in various corporations.
