DOORS LOCKED TO LA SALLE

BY STATE EXAMINER
Big Institution and Subsidiary
Ranks Suspend?-Three May
Resume Business Later
(By Associated Press ?
Chicago, June 12.-Four Stale hanks, i
thc must important having for its
president William Lorimer, unseated
from tho United ?talo? se?alo, were
c-losed today by the state banking de
partment herc. Representatives of thc
department immediately began an in
vestigation. Humors were current
i hat Q receivership would bo asked. 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. State officials say the
bank' officials' pleaded for time to
change that condition. In the ' last
three v/ee'krv according to Harkin and
the cushier of tho hank, thcro Ins
been what was terjrted a mild runion.,
th o' bimk^us^lj?fiT?ijlett?n bf ?f?ut'
$1,000,000 in deposits.
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. Harkin, chief
state examiner for Cook county, who j
took charge of the hank;-, expressed I
thc opinion that the smaller banks
would resume business in a few weeks. |
He saki that they were dominated by
men connected'with the LaSallc Street
institution and wer? closed for their
own protection.
"When I entered thc bank," said Mr. '
Harkin today, "I did not mean to take
possession, but 1 soon discovered that
I must."
Mri Munday recently was named ;
among other defendants In two court
actions-a suit flied by John H. Coyne
against James J, Brad}', State auditor,
and an application for a receiver by
tlie minority stockholders of the Rose
Hill Cemetery Compny.
. In the Coyne suit it was alleged that
Brady, Munday and C. E. Ward, secre
tary, to Lorimer, maliciously had de
vised a scheme to oust Coyne as a
bank examiner. The petition charged
thal thc tLaSnl.'j) 'St rte ct instit iff nu
made a $2,500 contribution to some un
known person, who delivered the same
to Brady; and that following Brady's
election, the bank made a further con- j
trlbution of, $fi00 to the defendant, in
eons?deVfttl?'n ' of which lt waa to bc,

Abandoned Plans.
/By Associated Pressl
Niagara Falls. Ont., lune 12 -Dele
gates from the United States and tho
Huerta government, in tl. . presence
or tho mediating representatives of
Argontino, Brazil und .'.ii'.. . lode y for
mnHy signed tho llrst protocol of tho
titties through which it ls hoped to
restore peuce in Mexico.
Tho agreement as to the mumer of
transferring exe? uti vc power fioin Hu
erta lo the now provisional govern-'
mont, reduced to writ lr..* provides
A gove: D?nent is to i e constituted
in Mexico ol' a character to later
provided, wli'ch shall UH Iecugnho.d by
tito Putted States on (date to be fixed?
and which from that day forward shall
exam Iso pihlic functions until thTc
shill be inaugurated a constitutional
president.
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, ' , ..
'" Tho Mexican delegates, while aban
doingthe constitution ul form of .suc
cession'' ns <a part, of the protocol, aroY
satisfied- because lt does hot. spec!-'
lira Hy deny H uer tn'a, right to name as
minister of foreign affairs the man
chosen here for.provisional presiden!;,
if the latter sees fit to accept resig
nation from him. lt ls not considered'
probable, howover, that the new pro- '
v hi ion ai president, who is likely lo be
a constitutionalist would take the exe:
cutlve power directly from Huasia, "out
be might do so from some other indi
vidual whom Huerta might leave In au
thority.
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.
Members of thc mediating colony to
night, were united in optimistic Bplrit
for the llrst time since the conference
opened. With one block cemented firm

the work done today would prove to
