SAYS BOSTON BANK WILL
PAY DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

BOSTON, December 19.-The troubles
of the Old South Trust Company, a
banking and savings institution with
about s4,oOO,OOO in deposits, which was
closed yesterday by State Banking Com
missioner Augustus L. Thorndike were
due according to a statement by the
bank commissioner. to its inability to
continue it's arrangements for clear
ances. These had been made, not
through the Boston Clearing House AS
ISOLATION, but through the Webster and
Atlas National Bank, officers of which
said that the bank had declined to clear
the checks after the Old South's balance
fell below a figure previously stipulated.
Commissioner Thorndike said that the
company would be able eventually to
pay depositors in full with substantial
amount left for stockholders.
In statement President McVey said:
1.-THE bank is absolutely solvent, ana
Commissioner Thorndike, after a con-
ference with other bankers. refused to
the Old South Trust Company was
forced to discontinue it's clearing, al
though it kept within the legal standing
reserve caused it's checks to be paid
over the counter. When this fact was
bruited abroad a run began. Being un-
able to turn loans into cash quickly
enough to meet the withdra walls, we
deemed it prudent to ask the bank COM
missioner to step in and conserve the
assets. / am absolutely sure that all de-
positors will receive 100 cents on the
dollar
President McVey said that negotia-
tons were under way with local bankers
to have them take over the trust COM
pany and make possible resumption of
business in a few days.

CHARITY FUNDS
Washington Loan and Trust
Company Trustee for
Washington Foundation.

Announcement was made yesterday
by the officials of the Washington Loan
and Trust Company that the company
would act as trustee for the Washing
ton Foundation. which has recently
been organized along the same lines
and for the same purpose as similar
organizations established in Cleveland,

The purpose of the foundation is 10
administer and distribute donations
and requests to charitable and civic
organizations. to invest and safeguard
the funds intrusted TO it. and to see
that the money is used TO the best adj
vantage. The foundation relieves the
individual who desires to contribute 10
the meritoriouS charitable institutions
of the city of the responsibility of Sc
Letting the charities and the resultant
danger of having such funds misused.
Independent Distribution.
While the investment and care OF the
funds and property Of the Washington
Foundation will be under the mana Ee-
ment of the Washington Loan and
trust Company. as trustee. the actual
distribution of funds will he under The
direction of an Independent committee
OF hVe or more to be appointed for that
purpose.
The foundation originated with =,
r. Con, president of the cleveland
trust Company, who established the
cleveland Foundation in January,
1914. During the first year OF it's cx-
lstence contributions were received
amounting to more than 2o.OG0, 600.
According to the report received
by the Washington directors, the
type company for November incrcas-
ed more than 25 per cent over that of
october, marking the greatest month
IN the history of the company.
