The following statement was made
by Superintendent Cheney:
"As a result of an examination of the
Union Bank of Brooklyn, just com
pleted by the banking department, a
meeting of the directors was held Mon
day evening at the office of the depart
ment,' 52 Broadway, to consider whether
the bank ,vas not in an unsafe condi
tion because of certain of . its. assets,
for the, character of which: the present
management is not responsible. After
deliberation the board reached the con
clinion that the bank should not con
tinue in business. ;;';;': .;" ;
"The bard accordingly requested the
superintendent of bunks to take pos
session. Pursuant to that request and
the provision of the banking law, the
superintendent tin taken possession of

: The bank has a clientele among busi
ness man in Brooklyn for the most part,
Its branches being; located in the, busi
est parts of Brooklyn. , .: , :

tendent's statement, does not lie with
the prevent management;, f , .' .
: Edward1 M. Grout,, president of the
Union Bank, issued a signed statement

WILL STAND BY TAFT
Roosevelt Will Stand by the
President
Says He Will. Have No Announcement
to Make Following His Talk With
Mr. Roosevelt Wants to (Jive Taft
a Square Deal.
(By Cable -to The Times.)
Rome, April 5 When Theodore
Roosevelt' meets former Chief For
ester of the United States, Gilford
Pinchot, in Genoa on April 11 or 12
the death blow will be given to the
"back from Elba" movement.
' "I cannot speak for Mr. Pinchot,"
said Colonel Roosevelt when asked
regarding the meeting with Pincnot
"but I know that ( shall have no an
nouncement to make following our
talk and I shall be surprised if Pir.
chot has."
This declaration was accepted to
day- by those close to Mr. Roosevelt
here as meaning that he intends to
put an end to the ambitious plans of
some of the more radical of bis old
political friends to make his return
t6 America the first step in a
triumphal march to the white house
in 1912.
It may be slated authoritatively
that Colonel Roosevelt's sympathies
are unreservedly with President Tal't
In 'Ns conduct of public affairs and
lhat tlie weight of his influence will
be found solidly behind the presi
dent. Mr. Roosevelt has been kept in
close touch with the inner workings
of the administration machinery
since he came out of the jungle and
todax unquestionably is far better in
formed as to the real situation than
most Americans at home. He holds
that Taft has lived up to his pledges
and is bending all his energies to give
the American people-a cleah, able ad
ministration and at the same time to
serve the best interests of the repub
lican party. : Roosevelt governmental
policies, the Colonel is convinced, are
as safe in Taft's hands as they were
in bis- own -and.-.re "progressing
fast as conditions, will permit. '
' These points' will 'be made clear :t6
Mr. Pinciiot. in the Genoa interview
and when'the former chief forester
and member of the famed "tennis
cabinet" starts on his return to
America, It will be as the bearer of
a kindly but peremptory messaga
from Mr. Roosevelt to his friend in
America to. the effect that he stands
today as unalterably committed to
the "square deal" as he proclaimed
himself when president and that one
of his. first conceptions of what that
entails right now Is loyalty to the
man whose nomination and election
to the presidency he urged and work-'
ed for. v
