ion Loan For Relief 1/
Clotted Ranking Houses h!
I,ii m i ii I
Washington,, Oct. 16.- President I
Roosevelt announced tonight the ere- t
at ion of u deposit liquidation board e
to bring immediate relief to depoa- ?
itor.s in closed national and ,?tate ?'
banks by lending approximately fl?000,000,000
on the assets of those a
institutions. c
Funds will be furnished by the r
Reconstruction . corporation in which
a special division will be established, J t
headed by C. B. Merriam, a corpora- J
tion director, to make the advances, t
So that this division may work in q
close cooperation with the treasury, y
the comptroller of the currency and t
the deposit insurance corporation, the
deposit liquidation board will over- J |
see its work. w o
Merriam alBO will head the liquida-1 h
tion board,. Other members are to a
be Jesse H. Jones, chafrYnaii "df the \
Reconstruction corporation; Dean. G. I a
Achesqn, undersecretary of the treas-Jh
ury; l^wis W. Douglas, director of|
the budget; J. F. T. O'Connor, comp- L
troller of the currency, $nd Walter
J. Cummings, chairman of th^Jeposit r
insurance corporation. 11
A formal statement by the presi- J a
dent said the "object of establishing r
this deposit liquidation division and B
trying to stimulate assets is: First, J r
to place money in the hands of de- J ^
positors with the least possible delay,]
and second, to bring about mpro or- ] t
derly liquidation of v the assets of c
closed banks; this will prevent dump- fc
ing of assets at sacrifice prices." ]
. "I am particularly anxious," said 1 ^
Mr. Roosevelt, "that this matter be L
handled with dispatch and to that end |
solicit the cooperation of all who may t
have official , or other authority inh
connection with any closed bank." ] j
The president pointed, out that the L
United States government had au-L
thority only over national banks and | {
could speed up distribution in those L
banks "if those directly (interested K
will cooperate," adding the govern-1
ment was without authority over (
closed state banks. * 11
"If delays occur in the case of I (
state banks," he said, "they will be j
due to reasons beyond the control of j
the national government." 1
Under the plan, the special division ]
will make loans on the assets of
closed banks up to a maximum of ,
50 per cent of their deposits, includ-|
ing distributions heretofore made, h
"This does not, of course, mean (
j that in a bank whose remaining |;
I assets are worth less, the depositors 1
will get *50 per cent," the president |
said. "They will get in such case
only their share in the remaining]
assets," he added. 0 - # f '? T;
i "It is not intended that such dis-r
tribution will be uniform, but th4f |
j they will be limited to the orderly
liquidation value of assets on which j
loans can be made, reserving /.only
what will appear sufficiepU <x^pay.|
taxes, expenses and interest during
the liquidation period. C-4
"In some cases further distributions
will not be possible because
assets remaining in Uae bank will no
warrant any further dividends than
those heretofore made. .
"Distributions in any case will be
possible only to the amounts of the
loanable value of the assets which
have not already been pledged or
otherwise disposed of.
"In cases where the condition Ofthe
closed bank will justify, it, proper
consideration will be given to a larger
distributipn than 50 per cent. More
than one distribution will be made as
and if assets imprtwe in vplue." The
president said the "exact
amount" that can br distributed will
be governed by the appraisal of the
actual assets of each bank closed
since.last January 1 and until that
appraisal is made the amount involved
cannot be more accurately
It was estimated, however, he added,
that the maximum available loanable
value of the assets of:.,banks
closed during this year "will not exceed
$1,000,000,000 and it is hoped
that the distribution will approximate
that amount."
Chairman Jones, of the Reconstruction
-corporation, told newspapermen
the president's statement should "disabuse"
the public mind on the amount,
of money that could be freetl from
closed banks.
"Reports have mentioned the figure
at $4,000,000,000 or $5,000,000,000,"
he said, "but this is just not
in the cards."0
Argument over his right to take

allegedly shooting Wilson to death,

ied him to his chair, blindfolded him
,nd then levelled their muskets at
lis back.

Bluebeard's victims were three.
One was Beatrice Margarucci, fornerly
of. 101 Franklin Avenue, Long

dvances to her shortly after she arived

srime, and drew ?rom him full confessions
regarding all three. 1
