METROPOLITAN MEN. The Stock Gambling Panic—lts Causes and Results. Ward's Operations on the Basis of Grant's Name and Fish's Secrets. Mr. AValter Phelps' Great Service to the New York Banker. [Special Correspondence St. Paul Globe.] New York, May 22.—More news is sup pressed in New York than is published. This maj be regarded as an exaggeration, but it is not untruth. Much that occurs does not see the light; much more does not deserve to; a great deal more cannot be told. The recent panic in Wall street illustrates this anew. The credit of many other houses would have Buffered had the whole that was known to Borne papers been printed; hundreds of in cidents characteristic of prominent men, have escaped telliug, because of the charity of some, and lack of space or enterprise of other papers; and the secrets of the chief and most dishonorable of the recent failures are really too vile to tell, and can only be hinted at. • I suggested last week that the Fisk & Ward failure would prove to be the most dis graceful in American annals. It now proves to be the most grotesque as far as Grant & Ward are concerned, and the most dis gusting as relating to James D. Fish and the Marine bank. The "young Na poleon of finance," aa Ferdinand Ferdinand Ward. Ward is facetiously called, proves on the witness stand a combination of Jim Fisk and Bill Tweed. "With the unblushing air of the (Jaseon Fisk he unblushingly tells of "ring" operations more reckless, daring and exten sive than Free-booter Tweed ever dreamed of perpetrating. Tweed robbed a city full of fools of $0,000,000; this man appears to have talked out of a few confiding friends $14, --000,000. He appears to have taken the en tire Grant family and connections into part nership, under conditions which required them to admit practically "we are foola finan cially; you know everything; you attend to the business and we will accept your guaran tee of $3,000 a month profits for each of us." There was no other consideration apparent in the articles or the acts of this remarkable copartnership. The Grants did nothing, said nothing, and drew their $3,000 a month with regularity and without suspicion or con science. The big profits shown in the books they never heard of; the books were kept to catch new dupes. The "Ward & Fish partner ship looks discreditable to all parties concern ed. Ward appears to have come into posses sion of some of Fish's" secrets, the old gen tleman was a gallant, and his down town bank apartments and his mystic flats up town were the scenes of occasional orgies of which Ward apparently knew. He forced old man Fish to aid him in his reckless schemes for the plunder of friends. He could never have accomplished what he has done with Grant's name alone; he had to have a cap italist, and that capitalist in a bank of credit, to draw on occasionally to accomplish so bold a fraud. Fish was the man who served his purpose, and he used him freely. This has been a panic of the millionaires and stock gamblers; not, like that of 1873, a panic of merchants. Then stocks were high and money tight; now stocks are low and money cheap. Then the substantial business merchants having no inflated stocks as collateral found difficulty in borrowing money, and suffered; now the gamblers in stocks find it impossible to raise money, though cheap and plenty, on unsubstantial stocks. Another thing has tended to create this panic—the millionaire bankers have lost their nerve. Over-certification had been going on so long that the sudden stoppinsr of it under this state ot nervousness has swamped those brokers who have been most favored. They are suddenly required to do business on a cash basis. Hence these tears in Wall street. Of the five banks which failed all had some suspicious or improper connection with Wall street speculative firms. The Marine bank was ruined by Grant & Ward, of which Fish, its president, was a special partner. The Metropolitan bank, George I. Seney, presi dent, was embarrassed by Kelson, Robinson & Co., composed of two sons and one son in-law of Seney. The Atlantic bank of Brooklyn was a mere offshoot of the Metro politan and was practically owned and ac tually directed by Seney. The president of the Second National bank, John C. Eno, was the principal customer of half a dozen houses in the street. The Xewark Savings institu tion was carried down by Fisk <fc Hatch,who had substituted for its special deposit of $2, --000,000 government bonds, fluctuating rail way and other securities on which the bank could not readily realize. It was the "ring" system of spoliation introduced into Wall street; nothing else. George I. Seney, president of the Metro politan bank, would have com manded sympathy had it net been for his connection with the George I. Seney. stock gambling house of Nefson, Robinson & Co. It was a firm composed of his own relatives and was favored by the Metropolitan bank beyond any other house. The favor itism shown his relatives deprived Seney of any sympathy and has lost him the presiden cy of the bank. Seney has been reputed a millionaire several times over; he has given several small fortunes to public charities and educational institutions. He was building a hospital to cost several hundred thousand, but his failure leaves it unfinished. He led a domestic sort of life, and outside of his bank ing and stock financiering led a mild Chris tian sort of existence. But this has been*a! bad panic for Christian financiers like Hatch, Seucy, and Eno and Todd. I must not omit to "name Ward, who sat under the adminis tration of Dr. Storrs. The true story of the Eno defalcation and the salvation of the Second National bank will probably never be told. But while lam under obligations not to tell the astounding total of young John C. Eno's squandurings I may say that the three and a half millions less, which report credits his father with ! making good to the bank is less by a sum it I takes seven figures to express than the amount the young president made way with. ne was young but not inexperienced in business; he was of a quiet and domestic disposition; so cially popular: with religious associations and pietended geligious tendencies; a re former in politics; and there was everything about him except his youth to command the confidence generally roposcd in him. His was a peculiar institution. A bank for deposit for fashionable women with unlimited pin mouoy; for the numerous theatrical managers and actors of the vicinage for the scores of large dry goods houses and jewelry stores in the neighbor hood; for the up-town charities like the Bellevue Training school for nurses; for the civil service reforms association; for the big up-town hotels, grocers like Park & Tilford and furniture men like Herter & Co., who built the Yanderbilt mansion; and above all for the multitude of people, well-to do but still in moderate circumstances, liv ing on Murray hill the centre of wealth and fashion, who deposited each month to their wive's credit funds for current household ex penses. No bank in this city, possibly none in the world, ever had such a multitude of lady depositors, or whose failure could have brought misery so directly and immediately to many fire-sides unaccustomed to look upon it. There were also in the numerous hotels and restaurants near by a speculative business by telegraph and telephone. The "Twenty Third street gang," composed of 'William R. Travers, Charles J. Osborne, Addison Commack Spencer and other prom inent bears" had quarters on the next block; whether or not contact with the opera tors indicated led to his first venture and finally to his misuse of the bank funds, I cannot say, but Eno lived un doubtedly in the midst of temptation. Nat urally such a young man with such a bank behind him would be a victim worthy the ef forts of stock gamblers. At any rate they finally got him. He failed ignominiously, and has already been 6wept violently aside and out of sight. It is now remembered of him only this, that he assumed several vir tues which he did not possess, and had one which will be remembered to his credit? he was domestic and devoted to his fa mil}-. His money was not squandered like that of Fisk and Ward, in the purchase of houses and jewelry for account of whom they cannot now remember. Eno's infatuation was purely that of the speculator; his frenzy that of the gambler who falls that there is no greater satisfaction in life than that of losing except of winning. The facts of how Amos R. Eno came to make good his son's great losses reads like a romance stranger than any I know. The son confessed on Sunday, May 11. The John C. Eno, father was first astonished; then mortified; then enraged, and finally is almost heart broken at the revelation of the simultaneous loss of his boy, his family name and his mil lions. He did not know what to do for twenty-four hours but calming down turned for support where he had often sought it be fore and strangely enough to one much youger than himself. Years ago A. R. Eno had been a partner of and made his many million, with, the father of Congressman William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey; and since his partner's death he has been accus tomed to look to the son in times of difficulty, as he once looked to the father. He tele graphed to Phelps at Washington Monday and the latter reached him on Tuesday morn ing, when he heard for the first time the astounding story with pain and grief almost as great as that of the father. Mr. Phelps was also stockholder and director of the bank, having been put in at his father's death, merely to avoid taking a stranger into the concern, but with the understand ing of all hands that his frequent absence from the country, political duties, etc., would make it impossible for him to give any personal attention to the bank's affairs. Mr. Eno, Sr., while impatiently awaiting Mr. Phelps' arrival had considered his legal re sponsibility as director, and named it to Phelps in conversation. Mr. Phelps without hesitation declared that the entire moral responsibility of all the di rectors must be a; once Rssumed, and that chief of all it was due to Mr. Eno's name and reputation, the credit of the bank, the ! good of the general public and of all the I other banks of the city, and of the hundreds | of depositors whose money was attracted to the bank by his name, that Mr. Euo should make good every dollar of his son's losses. The difference in dollars between the legal responsibility which the several directors had calculated and the moral obligations which Mr. Phelps now presented in his strongest language, was several millions. Mr. Eno's own legal responsibility could not at the ut most have exceeded $100,000, but he . was under Mr. Phelps'view of the situation, called on for nearly four millions! Naturally there was a struggle. It would have been strange if there had not been a long and bitter con tention between conscience and cupidity. Mr. Eno has the general reputation of being a "close man." Men who accumulate grein THE ST. PAUL SUNDAY* GLOBE. SUNDAY MOKNING, MAY 25, 1884. fortunes usually make that reputation at the same time. They do become close and ' cautious, and loam to love the wealth which they find to be their power, which represents their lives and emphasizes their success. But Mr. Eno has also the repu tation of having made every dollar he posssesses honorably; of being absolutely up right in the strictest sense of commercial honor; with an old fashioned merchant's idea of integrit}', whose word was as good and binding as his bond. It was this sort of stem character that youug Phelps had to iufluence in this grave matter. He spent all day Tues day with him, appealing to him by every con sideration of justice, moral obligation, fam ily pride and the wishes of all the other mem William Walter Fhelps, berg of the family. It was perfectly true, as Mr. Eno said, that he was only one of the stockholders and one of the directors having no actual responsibilities different from the others. But it was represented to him that the bank enjoyed its great credit, not because of its president but because of its president's father; and that while no legal obligation at tached to this yet there was a certain moral responsibility to the depositors,many of them people in moderate circumstances, to whom the loss would cause for a time an untold amount of misery. Mr. Eno recognized this and declared that he was perfectly willing after the bank had failed to provide for all the small depositors and the charities out of his own private means. This would have involved an outlay of perhaps three quarters of a million, or from that to a mill ,ion and a half. The family had been ap pealing to him to do more. Amos F. Eno, his eldest son, who has generally been re garded as an extremely close business man, was the first to insist with his father that their obligation went further and that he would not be content to inherit money which came to him through their unwillingness now to make good , every deficiency. To the everlasting honor of the family it should be remembered that every member of it in cluding even the daughter, whose private funds had been swept away in the defalca tion, took the same ground and made the same appeal. The attitude of the stern old father, however, was equally characteristic, lie had no right, he said, to rob his honest children in order that one who had been dishonest should be screened. Then he was asked to think of the family name, but his answer was equally character istic. "The family name is all right, my name is all right; I earned my money hon- ■ estly, every dollar of it, and have always dis charged every obligation. That a son of mine should depart from my teachings will not af fect my name or thatof my honest children." Throughout the whole day and until midnight the discussion and,appeal went on, Phelps ' being put forward at every turn to reinforce | the arguments of the family. At last he got a call for a meeting of the directors at the : residence of Isaac N. Phelps, an old man and an invalid, now far past seventy, where it was supposed they could be entirely private, j Here Mr. Eno took the ground that, if all the obligations of the bank were to be provided for, the other directors ahould share their just responsibility with him. The bank had a capital of §300,000, which had originally been subscribed by ten men, in shares of 830,000 each. Its surplus was double the capital', so that the actual loss represented to each di rector by the defalcation was his stock plus j his surplus, that is to say, in the case of most ' of them, §30,000 stock, plus $60,000 surplus. I Mr. Phelps was the first to agree to take up his share of this capital and surplus, and to deliver it in notes of suitable sizes at the bank before ten o'clock next ' morning. Isaac W. Phelps agreed to do the same, and ultimately and after great exer tion most of the other directors assented som eof them, however, only giving their notes and refusing to make any exertions to put in money for immediate necessities. The capital and surplus of the bank being actually lost, this of course, was not a gift, since they would have had to do the same anyway if the bank were to go on even after ■ winding up its affairs now; and they had their stock and surplus to show for it. "When the $900,000 was secured in this way, there was still left a deficiency of nearly $3,000, --000 which seemed to Mr. Eno more than he ought to assume, or than he had the right to take from what, in a very few years, must 1 become the property of his honest children. Phelps thereupon offered to give $200,000 of this amount provided one or two of his fel low directors would give equal sums. In , some fashion or other the matter was finally brought to a head; the directors shook hands ] promising to meet each other at the bank the - next morning with their respective quotas of $90,000 in currency, and Mr. Eno agreed to make good all deficiency. It was after mid- . night on a stormy night when they parted. The next morning atthe bank the old man stood up like an old Roman, not shielding or pretending to shield his criminal son, who had done far more harm already to him in dividually than to anybody else, but protect ing every person who had placed faith in the bank. "A million to-day," he said,"and a million a day for a fortnight, if it is neces sary." Secretary Folger crowded through the throng to congratulate him, and all were breathing easier when a dispatch came from the clearing house. The defaulting president only a few hours before had made his last dig at the bank, his last stab at his father by signing his name as president in the last hour before his forced resignation.to a check j presented at the clearing house for $90,000. Here was a new source of peril which had not been apprehended. It had been supposed that, after his confession of Sunday, there was no more to be feared from him. The old man stung and bewildered by this last thrust from his son whom he had trusted, fairly broke down. "There is no telling," he said, "how much more there may be. It is useless for us to go on in the dark." In the directors' room there was silence for a moment or two broken at last by Bank Examiner Scriba, who said, "Well then I must order the shutters pulled down." At this moment the run was at its height. Two long lines of depositors stretched from the paying-tellers' windows to and across the pavement, and every cheque was being cashed on presentation with the utmost rapidity trained tellers could attain. Hesi tating for an instant to give the order, the bank examiner turned again to Mr. Phelps, "Can you do nothingi It isn't fair to ask you to go any further, but perhaps you can suggest something." Phelps turned to the venerable partner of his dead father and said, "Come, Mr. Eno, let's make one more effortj'll take the half of this risk with you." In a moment it was reduced to writing, Phelps and Eno signed their names to it, and the danger was past. The bank re mained open till 6 o'clock, paying every depositor who came, and the run was over. Mr. Eno was probably worth at a low es timate, $16,000,000, although he has been currently rated at about $20,000,000: con sidering his age, the nature of his life, and the treacherous nature of the stab thus dealt him from his family circle, there can be no one to doubt his splendid conduct. It was only natural that, groping in the dark as to the extent of the real danger, he should hesi tate and somewhat slowly make his way to the tremendous sacrifice that his sense of honor finally compelled. It is understood now that the worst is known, that the direc tors and stockholders merely make good their impaired capital and surplus, having the re stored bank to show for it, and that Mr. Eno resumes all other responsibilities, with noth ing to show for it. He thus takes from what must in the course of nature in a few years, go to the rest of his children, more than one fourth of his entire property, the accumula tion of seventy years, in order, solely, that no one who deposited in the son's bank be cause of the father's life-long reputation for integrity, can ever say that he lost by it. His name is deservedly in everybody's mouth, and praise for him is all that is heard. No body thinks now of calling him mean or close. As for William Walter Phelps and his part in this important transaction, he tried at first to keep it as much as possible out of the papers, and has until now succeeded. The only praise I have heard of as being awarded to Phelps was in a letter of John A. Stewart, president of the United States Trust com pany: "If Walter Phelps lives to be a hun dred years old he will never again have the opportunity of doing so big a service to this ————— _ _ : . .
