I The four banks were thc La Salle Street Trust and'"Savings Hank, thc Broadway State Bank, tho Illinois Stale Bank and the Ashland-Twelfth Street State Bank, known as the Lorl mcr-Munday chain of bunks. Thc La Sidle Street institution was thc main bank. Combined the bunks have de posits of $6,411.997 and reported cash means of $1,643,69? Of deposits, $966,000 consists of city finuit;. Thc hulk of this amount, $650. 000 is ou deposit with the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank. , Daniel 1 larkin, chief bank examiner, who took personal charge of thc down town bank and sent deputies to thc smaller ones, Bald he expected tr? see the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bunk open for business next week. He declared he sent examiners to tho smaller institutions us a precaution ary measure. He'insisted there was no political phase tb the action of his department. I An examination of the La Salle Street Trust and Saving Bank by Har kln two months ago disclosed, he said, a <? minti ty of what ho regarded as 1 low assois.

Former United States''Senator Lori mer, president, and C. B. Munday, vico president, refused to comment on the situation. 1 James B. Forgan, president of thc First National Bank arid chairman of thc Clearing House Committee, suid : - "The closing of the La Salle Stro.et Trurt and Savings Bank should not huve the slightest effect on any ot'-er banka in the Chicago district. The banks arc not associated with other down town banks. The La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank IR not u mem ber of the clearing house association and has none of the privileges of the clearing house." I State officiais declared the financial condtion of the La Salle Street Bank had caused them to fear the possibility of a disastrous run. The Ashland-T?velftu Street State Bank was the center of a riot when its depositors learned of the closing. Men and women clamored for their ( money. Refusal was met by excited cries and before tbe police arrived a stone was thrown through a window, a rush was made on ' ae locked door. Policemen restored order. . No statement of what thc closing, of the LaSallc Street Bank actually ; means in dollars and cents was mad?! by the examiner. Recent reports to the State auditor's office placed the deposits at more than $5,000,000..* For ? the lart three weeks' according to thc | officials, there hos been a mild run on the bank'and more than $1,000,000 of deposits has been withdrawn. . ? j Tile smaller banks which were clos- | cd werri the Illinois Stato Bank of j Chicago, tho Broadway State Bank ? and thc Ashland and Twelfth Street' State Bank.. Daniel V.

"When I entered thc bank," said Mr. ' Harkin today, "I did not mean to take possession, but 1 soon discovered that I must."

The brief protocol was significant of two liiiru?: It makes no mention of General Hu erta as the provisional prosfdent, and as stated in Associated Press dispatch es last night, it omits the muthod of transfer which the Mexican delegates and mediators suggested and to which the United States objected on tho ground that its retention would he tantamount to recognition of the ex isting regime. The Mexican plan provided that Hu erta should name as minister of for eign affairs tho man agreed on here for- provisional president, ' , ..

All parlies now are concentrating on the Bccond part nf the peace pian which relates to the name of the oro visional-president and possibly WP in clude his cabinet of four. Though the protocol is of compara tivcy few words, it is the embodiment of thal for wldoh the United Staten has been striving for more than a year -elimination of Huerta. With Huerta's formal statement of his intention to withdraw when Mexico was politically pacified, today's protocol takes ' for grunted that such a panification will occure and arranges for the transition. The question of constitutionalist rep resentation here ls still an open one. The mediators say they will not offi cially admit the Carranza delegates unless they agree to ah armistice. It is not doubted, though that some way may be fouud for the constitutionalists to take part lu. he peace parleys after they arrive.
