A- Disastrous, Panic Was Averted. CHICAGO, Dec. 18. Three of th largest financial 1 Institutions In the went, the Chicago National Bank, the Home Savings bank, and the Kqulta ble Trust, company, all of them eon trolled by John R. Walsh, of Chicago and in great measure owned by him suspended operations today. Their af- fairs will be liquidated as rapidly as possible and they will go out of busl ness. Mr. Walsh, who was president of the Chicago National bank, and of the Equitable Trust company, and all the other officers and all the directors of the Chicago National bank have re signed. National Bank Examiner E. S. Bos worth, hag succeeded Mr. Walsh at the head of the Chicago National bank, and the places of the directors have been Hilled by men appointed by the Chlca go cleariig house. Back of the new management stand the allied banks of Chicago, which have pledged their resourcesthat every depositor shall ,be pajd to the ist cent ana no customer 01 ine inree in 'stltutlons shall lose anything by tea on-of the suspension. This action pre (vented a disastrous financial panic. As It was, the only effect on the finan cial world of Chicago was the decline on a stock exchange of 24 In the price of National Biscuit common stock. The National Biscuit company has employ ed the Equitable 'Trust as t ransfer agent and had besides dealings with the Chicagn rational bank, but It is not affected - the failure .in the slightest degree. The closing of the two banks hud the effect also of shut ting off all demand on the local ex change for stocks, none of them be ing purchased. Bad Loans. The immediate cause of the coltapse of the Institutions controlled by Mr. Walsh is said to be the larger amount ' of money whkh they have lent to var ious piivate enterprises of his. nota bly the Southern Indiana railway and the Bedford Quarries company, of In diana. Mr. Walsh says if he could have had a little more time, and been left Untrammelled in his operations, he could havesaved his banks and made made enormous profits for himself and his associates. He bases this state iTlent on his estimate of the value of the bonds df the Southern Indiana rail way company,. The comptroller, the state auditor, ahd the members of the Chicugo clearing house committee place the value of the bonds at one-half the value of Mr, Walsh, and it was their I refusal .to accept his valuation that caused the suspension of the banks. V Liabilities 26,000,CCO. The liabilities of the three institu tions are estimated In the aggregate at 126,000,001). Against this amount the banks and the trust company have re sources that are, on a .conservative es timate, worth $18,000,000. The bonds of the Southern Indiana Railway company are estimated by Mr. Walsh at $18,000. 000. Theyare considered by the comp troller, the state auditor, and the clear ing house committee to be worth a lit tle more than half thatvsum. Their value Is a matter to be (determined in the future, and the presidents of the local banks admit that if the estimate of Mr. Walsh ta found to be correct "the two banks and the (rust company will not only pay alt of their debts, but leave a surplus besides. 'The directors of the two banks, as well as Mr. Walsh, who has turned all of his private property, as well as that standing? In the name of Mrs.' Walsh, over to the banks, have pledged real estate to the value of 000,000, making total assets of $25,000,600. - - ( SUIT INVOLVING SUM OF $70,000 Is FILED BY AMERICAN EXCHANGE BANK BRISTOL, VA..
