DAWES REC0UNTS
S9D,0D0,0)O LOAN
Former R. F. C. Chairman
Answers SO, ,OOO,O 900 Suit
of Bank Stockholders.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 10-Former Vice
President Charles G. Dawes story of
Dawes loan" was recounted publicly
for the first time in legal document
on file in Superior Court today.
Gen. Dawes disclosed his participa-
ton in the 1882 Chicago banking cri-
sis in an answer to suit instituted
by stockholders of the Central Re-
public Bank g. Trust Co., recipient of
the loan from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Seek S8,O0O,00O.
The stockholders sought S8,0OO000
from Dawes, chairman of the City
National Bank & Trust Co., and
from the Republic Bank and its re-
ceiver, They contended that amount
represented the fair and reasonable
value" of the banking business Of the
Republic Trust at the time it was
taken over by City National in 1882.
Gen. Dawes declared in the answer
he was not an officer of Central Re-
public when he resigned as chairman
of the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
June Is. 1882; that he consid-
cred it moral duty" to aid the
institution which had become known
as the Dawes bank" because of his
honorary Craftsmanship of the board.
The banker declared further that
on June 26, 1882, he recommended
immediate closing and liquidation of
the institution and was persuaded to
seek aid from the R. F. C. only at
the insistence of colleagues.
Expect to Make Repayment.
He said he expected full repayment
OF the S90,0O0,000 principal to the
R. F. c., but that liquidation of
remaining assets plus a reasonable
recovery" on the Sl4,000000 stock
holders assessment would not cover
interest charges. The r. F. c. has
been repaid s5S,O00,O00.
Gen. Dawes expressed the belief
that no one subscribed for City National
stock except with the primary pur-
pose in mind of saving a disastrous
situation"
Before City National was organized
to take over Republics deposits, he
said. other Chicago banks were un-
willing to accept the institutions
business and deposit liabilities.
Far from being disastrous in those
days" he said, banking deposits
were considered in the only available
market as a dangerous liability"
