At rst Tribune is ser Dail CASPER, WYO., MONDAY, OCTOBER 27,1924. INTERIOR WILL SPEAK ON COAST ARE CLEANED UP SHAMING SULLIVAN TRADUCERS Lately there has appeared from a well-known but un: reliable source a statement purporting to give the details of the failure and reorganization of the Basin State Bank at Basin, Wyo., during the latter part of 1923. The obvious effort of the authors of the slanderous and liberous state. ment was the defamation cf the personal character of Eu. gene J. Sullivan, then a director and officer of the bank, but in no way connected with the active management of the institution. Tho truthful story of the bank’s misfortune is a plain tale. It is the parallel of several hundred other bank cases in the northwest during 1923 and part of 1924. There is nothing unusual about it, nothing wrong, no reflection upon the integrity of a single person, officer, director or what not, concerned, It was a business misfortune caused by, and the direct result of the deflation of agricultural values by the federal reserve authorities after the war at the close of the Wilson administration. The Tribune was fortunate in meeting Mr. Harry J. Hall, at present receiver of the Bank of Lusk, dnd at the time of the failure and reorganization of the Basin State Bank, its cashier. Mr. Hall was in Casper on business and it Was between trains that the Tribune caught him. He will- ingly talked and here is the restlt of the interview: he Basin State Bank of Basin, Wyo., was organized as a state. bank with $50,000 fully paid up capital in 1907 by ‘affluent and prominent men living in the basin country. “Eugene Sullivan became a stockholder with 50 shares of stock in 1914 or i815, He was later elected a director and as one of the vice presidents. He never took an active pare in the management of the bank. From the’ time he came connected with the bank until May, 1923, the bank was under the management of Frank A, Wise and Harry _H. Hime, who were alternately vice president and cashier. “Owing to the depression in agriculture and deflation after the war the bank began to get into hard circum- stances, a change was made and I was made cashier. It was only a few months, however, when the bank was forced to close its doors in September, 1923.. . “Before this occurrer er, the bank officials who yewere actively.’ in i y i 5. he suggested a reorganization’ of the bank and’ some ofthe officers aud stockholders ‘at Basin put up some notes for this «purpose. But this was found to be impractical, and these notes or their proceeds were returned to the peo- ple who gaye'-them. Thereupon Mr. Huie ordered the bank closed, If the bank had been” liquidated the depositors would not have realized five cents on the dollar, “In the meantime the officers were workin solution to save the depositors.

Then he met with BP. T. Williams, president of the E. T. Williams Oil company, W. J. Cheley, who was general manager and Mr. Merritt, the auditor in Casper. They agreed with the state examiner * that the companies goncerned as well as all other depositors would lose heayily unless the bank was reopened upon the plan suggested. Mr. Sulliv was ill at the time, and was only called into the confere after these details were agreed to by the other officers of the Williams companies. Mr. Sullivan agreed to the plan immed y and prepared to put up his $5,000 which was later turned into the bank. “The proposition was them put up to a meeting of the depositors at Basin, who accepted it, and the bank was re- opened.
