Donaldson's Method of Wreoking Financial Institutions, WARRANTS SWORN OUT FOR HIS ARREST Sufferers in Kansas and lowa from Iy Operations— Vast Sums of Money Are Alleged to Have Been Taken by Hum, KANsAs Crry, Aug. 21.—Henry Woolman attorney for Special Bank Examiver W. L. Latimer, acting as agent of the First Na- tional bank of Marion, Kan., commenced garnishment proceedings today against George Galbraith, special bank examiner in charge of the National Bank of Kansas City, the National Bank of Commerce and the American National bank to obtain securities deposited with these banks by I M. Donaldson, president of the First Na- tional bank of Marion, Kan. [t is charged that Donaldson secured loans from the bank of which he was president for his personal use without giving adequate security, He ince disappeared, and the bank is shor Last Tuesday Examiner Latimer, suspect- ing the condition of the First National bank, made a trip to Marion to investigats matters. Hearing of Mr. Latimer's arrival, Donaldson departod and has not been seen since. The examiner closed the bank and has now filed the attachment here in the hope of protecting it. It is not known what has become of Donuldson, but Mr. Latimer has good rea- s0us to believe he 18 in Mexico. Last De- bor Donaldson opened an office here pur- porting to represent the Union ‘I'rust com- joux City. He did not appear to do much business however, and closed his oftice in June. Was a Wholesale Swindler. James Doughty of Sioux City arrived in the city today, and after a_conference with Attorney Woolman and Bank Examiner Latimer he swore out a warrant for Donald- son’s arrest, alleging embezzlement, msap- propriation and forgery. The facts told by Mr. Doughty make Donaldson's embezzle- ment from the Marion bank appear simply as a drop in the ket compared with the ex-banker's transactions in Iowa. Donaldson, in 1850, besides owning a ma- Jjority of the stock of the First National bank of Marion, Kan., controlled two state banks. His transactions through them were not su ful, and in 185647, when the Kan- sus real estate boom dropped, he closed out the two small hanks and, securing nsider- able money from h fon bank, started the Union Trust compeny at Sioux City, In. As feeders for the Union Trust company, he established a cha wa, eleven in number however, did not develop according to his expectations and from subsequent events it became apparent that he determined to realize what cash he could and leave the country. Ac ast winter he opened a branch oflice here o the Union Trust company of Sioux City. taking charge of it himself, and disposed of a large amount of securities and assets of his Towa concerns. Carried Down All Its Branches. The Union Trust company was among the first fi 1 institutions to go under when tne finuncial dificulties began last spring, With it went down the eleven lIowa banks as follows: First National bank, Ida Grove; First National bank, Holstein; Sloan State bank, Sloan; Danbury State bank, Danbury ; First Ute State bank, Ute; Wooduine Sav- ings bank, Woodbine; Cushing Savings banlk, Cushing; Custuna Savings bank, Castana; Schutler Suvings bank, Schutler; Aurelia Savings bank, Avrelia; Bank of Modale, Modale, . The crash of these institutions sem Don- aldson into reurement at Marion, where he scews to continued his tacties of r: ing all the veady cash possible upon his as- sets. Then came the failure of the Marion bank. Tmmediately the bank examiner made his appearance in Marion, Donaldson disappeared aud with him §3,000 of the bank’'s money Mr. Doughty of Sioux City, who was inter- ested in the Unon Trust company, says the examination of that company’s affairs and of the affaws of the eleven lowa banks shows deficit of at least $000,000. Donaldson is charged with having gov with the money. During the disposal of securities here Donaldson sold puper to nearly all the city banks, but the bulk of his transactions were with New England baukers.

In June last, as a result of a preliminary investigation into the methods of this iaan, he was suspended by the secretary of the Interior from prac- tice before the department.

Nearly 500 of th have been sent to Special Examiner ite at Minneapolis for investigation. In such as seemed to rest wholly upon evidence prepared by Van Leuven—somewhat more than 200 in all—suspension of payment was ed pending the necessary inquiry. is was in accordance with the uniform practice of the bureau for many yeurs. and is singular in this instauce only by reason of the fact that the majo of the suspended pensions were drawn in a few adjacent al Examiner Waite has been wecks engaged upou these cases. In some instances it has been found cticable to rescind the order of suspension in advance of the investigation. In such cases there has been but a briefl withholding of the pen- sion. Doubtless there are some cases in which the temporary loss of the pension works hardships to worthy men, but, no pains will be spared to ascertain such cases and make the period of suspension as brief as possible. It is not charged or believed that in each suspended case the pensioner himself has been guilty of misconduc It was Van Leuven's pructice to take the pros- ecution of his cases quite often out of the hands of the applicant, and thus it often happened houest claims in his charge were secured by dishonest means.
