D. Wright, examiner at large for the ninth federal reserve district, is' in charge of the check-up, and is working with an agent of the De- partment of Justice in an effort to ascertain the amount of the short- ages and the reasons. Thus far, the losses have mounted to nearly $200,000,” Mr. Wright sald, “and may be a little more. However, ¥ expect the figure to stay around this mark.” When asked the exact reasons for the shortages, Mr. Wright said he is not in a position to say now. He ad- mitted, however, that “there have | heen defalcations, and that they ex- tend beyond a period of three years.” The natlonal bank examiners’ report will be handed to B. K. Patterson, chief national bank examiner for the district. Mr. Patterson will then re- fer the report to the Washington of- . fice. If any criminal action is to be aken, the matter will be taken over by the Department of Justice. == SR COLE QUITS BUREAU POST Beinstated Engraving Plant Of-| cial Returns to Private Wotk. George C.
