Interest In the Carnegie Trust company's failure was centered today in the forthcom ing report of State Bank Examiner O. W. Cheney, as to the exact status of the bank's resources. That the in stitution's affairs are in a more or less tangled condition was made evi dent by Mr. Cheney's attitude when a reporter called upon him Sunday morning at his apartments in West Eleventh street. "It is impossible." said Mr. Cheney, "to give even approximate figures on the situation. It will be at least four days before the experts now going over the trust company s books will be able to complete gath ering the information which is now awaited, by the depositors." r Carnegie Still Silent. t Andrew Carnegie refuses to break his silence so far as the closing up of the company is concerned. "It is plain." saidie. "that I cr.n- not discuss the matter." According to the latest statement given out on November 10 the trust company bad total deposits of which the $8,896,700 preferred deposits were $4,"8,380. The difference of $4,191,000 was subject to the legal reserve law. Hence the 15 per cent, reserve that should have been in the vaults would have amounted to $600,000. It is certain that less than this amount waa on deposit when Mr. Cheney stepped in. John T. Howell, president of the company, reiterated today his belief that the depositors would be paid in full. The trust company baa already made a bid for soithern business. After the advent of Leslie M. Shaw, shortly before the aaaie of 1907, the. policy of southern advertisement for the bank waa adopted, and as a result many institutions through the south' ern states used the Carnegie aa a depository. The number of individual depositors is said to be small. t Friendtof Mayor Gaynor. This southern Interest was further accentuated by the entrance into the company of W. J. Chmmings, a prom inent Nashville business man and a friend of Mayor Gaynor. Mr. Cum mlngs tried bis best to Induce the mayor to use his Influence with finan cial interests to prevent the closing of the bank, but in vain. This appeal to the mayor may have been Induced by the knowledge that the city waa such a heavy depositor with the company. As stated yesterday, the mayor's chamberlain. Charles H. Hyde, bad on deposit with the Carnegie $650, 000 when the doors were closed. If any such plea were put up by Mr. Cummlngs, be failed to move the mayor. The public interest in the city's connection with the suspended trust company ia centering on the reason why Hyde Intrusted so large an amount of municipal funds with the Carnegie. This interest ia naturally height ened by the absence of Mr, Hyde from bis off; re and the complete lack of news from him for the last 29 day. At first it was thought that Joseph G. Robin waa involved in the crash but thia haa been disproved, though It was the knowledge that he had been Involved, with the company that really caused lta downfall. It la aald now the bank la out 143,000 from Its acquaintance with biro. niRBUE stilts to BE TKSTED 05 AXIMALS. Nothing is law that Is not reaaosw IJlr Jobi FoweU. Dr. Darwin oltin Dw4. Syra'-use, N.
