SECOND D. c. BANK
FORCED TO CLOSE
Merchants and Farmers
Failure Follows After Union
Laborers' Collapse.

The Merchants & Farmers Bank of
Anacostia, last of trio of common
law declaration Of trust" institutions
operating in the District, has closed
its doors and Is in a process Of liqui-
dation.
Action of the directors in closing
the doors of this bank closely fol-
lows similar action taken yesterday
by the governors of the Union La bor-
ers' Bank, a Fourteenth street insti-
tuition catering primarily to colored
clientele.
A venture which has never enjoyed
success was described by reliable ad-
vices today as prompting the drastic
action. Stockholders, as we'll as the
public, are quite in the dark as to the
institutions finances, inasmuch as un-
der its operating powers it was never
required to issue periodic statements
of condition.
Secured Delaware Charter.
Attempt was made about two years
ago when the bank was organized to
troller of the currency through the
regular channels, but this was denied.
Charter was procured under the laws
of Delaware, with $40 par value of
the stock, which was sold at SIS, So
of which went to the promoters, with
the remainder creating surplus.
AT a later date application again was
made, it is understood, and denied
because requirements of the con-
troller's Office could not be met. In
the meanwhile the institution opera
ted under common law declaration
of trust" which, substantially, means
the organizers cannot be held rN
sponsible.
1t is understood from sources
cognizant with the banks affairs
that attempt will be made to convert
the bank into a finance and building
association with capital of 100000.
The community has been circularized,
it is said, with view of disposing
of $4,000 of new stock, which will
be added to a like amount of old
stock turned in.

Maj. Bell indicated that he was sur

he believes, could be placed in certain

opinion that several OF Washington's
suburbs could be advantageously de-

It is built around a central thor

traffic in the center OF the roadway.
Each street car track II lined with
a park and shrubs and flowers. Ra-
