SIAIE BANK IS
ORDERED CLOSED
Begin Estimating Value of
Securities Held by
LaSalle Firm
FOUR CLOSED MAY
BE OPENED SOON
Closing of Banks Have No Affect on
Other Chicago Financial Institu
tions, According to Clearing
house Officials
Chicago. June 13.—State bank examine!;?
today began estimating the value of tlio
securities held by the LaSalle Street Trust
snd Savings bank and the three small
neighborhood banks closed yesterday, pos
sibly temporarily, as a result of the sus
pension of the Ixt Salle Street bank.
A fifth neighborhood bank, the Calumet
State bank, was ordered closed today be
cause a large portion of its resources
were tied up in the l^Salle Street bank.
Like the other small banks, the Calumet
bank may not be reopened in a solvent
condition.
These facts stand out in connection with
the closing of the bank themselves:
Closing of the banks had no effect on
other Chicago financial institutions, ac
cording to clearinghouse officials.
The LaSalle Street hank's suspension
will affect only the few small hanks
which had their reserves tied up in it, it
waa said.
The banks are the LaSalle Street Trust
and Savings bank, capital $1,000,000; the
Illinois State, capital $200,000; Ashland
Twelfth state, capital $500,000; the Broad
way slate, capital $200,000; the Calumet
state, ordered closed today, capital $200,
000.
Validity of Collateral Questioned
The latSalle Street bank had about
$4,000,000 in deposits. Validity of about
$1,200,000 of its collateral Is said to have
been questioned by the bank examine!'.
William I.orlmor, whose seat in the
United States Senate was declared Inval
id, Is president of the LaSalle Street bank.
He and his sons own hut 920 of Its shares.
C. B. Munday. vice president of the bank,
owns 2006 of its shares and is declared
to be Its leading spirit. Munday was in
terests in a score of undertakings rang
ing from banks to cemetery companies.
Daniel V. Markin, chief state examiner
for the Chicago district, said the direct
causes of the LaSalle street bank's trou
ble wpre failure to dispose of a half mil
lion dollars in securities of the Southern
Traction company and cash advances of
nearly $100,000 made to the Lorlmer-Oal
lagher Construction company, which, it Is
alleged, had the contract for building tile
Southern Traction railroad, a line which
was building in the terminal territory
across the Mississippi liver- from St
Louis,
Mr. Markin also cited the Inability ol
the bank to dispose of securities and col
lateral totalling $000,000, which bad beer
put up by companies In which officials
of the bank had an interest in.
James B. Forgan. president of the First
National bank, and chairman of the
clearinghouse, said:

The Value of System
“ QYSTEM is the secret of success. System in saving means
^ laying aside a certain amount every day—or perhaps every
, day on which you receive your pay. Start a savings account
and try being systematic. You will be surprised how
soon you will form tire habit and saving will be easy. There is
no limit placed on the amount of your savings; keep your pen

where you will receive 4 per cent interest.

FALLS ILL WHILE PASSING
THROUGH CITY AND DIES
T. J. J0H3S0N PICKED it* BY J
POLICE, TAKEN TO ST. VIN- 1
CENT’S HOSPITAL AND DIES '
FEW HOURS LATER
_ i
(
j T. J. Johnson, a cotton broker, aged 28 ,
I years, of Spartanburg, S. C., died yester- ]
j day afternoon at St. Vincent’s hospital of ]
[heart failure. He had reached Birming
ham Friday night on his way home from 1
New Orleans and being taken suddenly ill \
j at the Terminal station, had taken a j
| walk for some fresh air. He was later .
| sent to the infirmary and his death fol- |
lowed yesterday.
J It appears that Johnson was traveling '
| for his brother, who is a cotton broker ,
at Spartanburg, and had been in New Or- j
leans to establish a branch of the com- j
pany when he was taken ill and started 1
for home. At the Terminal station he was (
taken with a shortness of breath and, {
getting off the train, he started for a
short walk. His condition liecoming
worse, the young man inquired ids way
to a hospital and was directed to the
Hillman, where he applied for admission.
According to Sergeant Darnell, Johnson
stated to him that the internes at the
Hillman refused admittance to Johnson j
on the grounds that there was nothing
the matter with him. Following that
Johnson sat down on the lawn in front
of the Hillman and cried as his pain
I near his heart became more acute.
Later be wandered north on South
Twentieth street and was picked up by
Chicago bony ins situation is better than
it has been in years."
According to the examiner the State
bank of Calumet was the last in the chain
of what were known as the string of
Lorimer-Munday banks In Chicago.
William Loiimer, president of the La
Salle street bank, was said to be near
a physical collapse from the strain attend
ant to the excitement of the Inst 24 hours.
Examiner Harkin, state bank examiner,
said today: *
•The Calumet bank bad considerable
money on deposit in the LaSalle street
bank. We gave It an opportunity to seek
a *• si stance elsewhere and this was re
fused.”
An echo of the closing of the LaSalle
street bank was heard in the federal
court when a federal receiver was ap
pointed today for the Southwest Savings
bank, owned by,Louis J. Krejct.
The private banker had $4000 deposited
in the I^Salle street bank and when he
heard that was closed, he suspended busi
ness. He declared that he had sufficient
means to meet all requests.
Depositors in the International Trust
and Savings bank, a state institution in
the Northside residence district, in a
steady stream withdrew their money.
The bank officials who. with examiners,
had gone carefully over the securities last
night, met all demands. Downtown banks
supplied the institutjon with currency.

I HE SHOULD WORRY
I _
Kenneth Warren, desk sergeant of po
lice. started on a three days' vacation

Martin, Sergeant Warren meandered over
to Red mountain at a place between the
mining camps of IshRooda ami Mason
City and captured Will Reed, a negro,
wanted for the killing of Mel Yancey, a
negro, In a street car at West End Thurs
day afternoon, and brought him to the
city Jail.
Incidently, it is stated that the negro
Will Reed was released by Coroner Spain

BIG CRUSH AT THE
WOOLWORTH STORE
In th® big crush of people that
gathered yesterday for the opening of
the new Woolworth store at Third
avenue and Nineteenth street, several
women fainted and the aid of the po
lice was necessitated to bring order
out of the surging, sweating bargain
seekers.
According to Detective Sergeant
Darnell the management of the store
disclaimed that any women had faint
ed within the precincts of the store,
but that several had toppled over from
the excessive and the crushing crowd
at the entrance* of the bargain em
porium. It was stated by the police
that the crowds lined both sides of
Nineteenth street and all the trouble
occurred after the store had been tilled
up to capacity and there was still a
much larger crowd waiting outside to
come in and vainly trying to get in.
The police after several hours hard
work managed to attain control of the
situation and for the rest of the day
there were no more fainting cases re
ported.

Action Blasts Hopes of the
Anarchists, Who Ha'1
Started Revolution
Rome, June 13.—Dreams of a "golden
age.” with the high cost of living ended,
are doomed to be shattered In the villages
and towns of the province of Ravenna
with the arrival tomorrow of 10,000 troops
and the news that the proposed national
railway strike has been abandoned and
order is being restored, even in the dls
trlets where n virtual revolutionary move
ment whs In progress.
The attempts of Hiutrchtsts, republicans
and socialists to deal a death blow to
monarchlal institutions was frustrated be
muse of the refusal of the railway men
to bring about a strike which would have
virtually paralysed the forces of the
government; because a grra» majority of
the population refused actively to follow
them and bemuse the army gave a fine
example of loyalty.
The troops now are completely in con
trol of the main centers of *l»c insurrec
tion Ancona. Fabriano. Ravenna. Forll
ami Parma. Train service has not been
interrupted to any great extent, although
many of tin- provinces still are Infested
with revolutionists who arc destroying
tho railroad tracks, stations and bridges
and damaging public buildings.
