THE OMAHA D AILY BEE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 1902 CASH IN THE BANK IS SHORT | MANY VISIT THE FAIR GROUND | WoRF FOR THE PAYMASTERS Oushier Ohamberlain of Teoumssh Takes Away Oollsteral to Bell, NEITHER MONEY NOR CASHIER RETURNS State Banking Board. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 30.—(Special.)—The dis- Appedrance of Cashier Charles M. Cham- berlatn of the Chamberlain Banking bouse &t Tecumseh, led to the sudden and un- expected ‘closing of that institution today. Chief Clerk A. N. Dodson of the State Banking Board, has been placed tem- porarily In charge, but will be relleved #oon by Examiner Hartwell, who was no- tified by telegraph this morning to hasten to Tecumseh and take possession on be- Balf of the board. Cashier Chamberlain departed a week that he intended to dispose ©f a large block of the bank's collateral in exchange for currency. He Intimated that he would make the transaction in Chlcago. On Tuesday a mossage was re- ceived from him, dated at the Union depot in Chicago, and saying that he would re- turn the fext day with the currency. Noth- {ig turther was heard of him and as there Was only $30 of cash in the bank's vaults this morning, the assistant cashier declined 1o open the doors. President W. R. Bar- ton had netified Attorney General Prout in eantime of the affairs of the Institu- tion and recommended that an examiner be sent on to take official charge. * In the absence of Secretary Royce and Al other members of the Banking board the attorney gemeral instructed Chiet Clerk Dodson and Examiner Hartwell to go to ‘Tecumseh. Mr, Dodson arrived there, at poon, but up to the time the office of the Banking board closed this afternoon had submitted no report. Comparatively nothing s known here of the actual condition of the bank. The last statement, made on June 3, showed that the bank had deposits amounting to $102,- 834, $100,787.56; capital, $10,013.95, Charles M. Chamber! cashler, has had practically exclusive charge of the bank. The president of the institution s W. R. Barton and the vice president, F. A. Taylor. 8o far as known here, the only shortage will be in the collateral. The books have balanced up to the paper taken away by Mr. Chamberlain, but it is not known here how much this paper amounts to. Probably a1l of it has been sold to the Chicago cor- respondents of the bank. Two other banks in Johnson county were heavy depositors in the Chamberlain Bank- ing house, but it is not belleved the fallure of the latter will seriously affect them, un- less the assets are much poorer than ex- pected. Several months ago caused ihe Biale Dauk trouble by the organization of two branch banks, one in Vesta and one in Grafl. The board investigated and determined that both organizations were clearly unauthor- ized and illegal. They were since incor- porated, however, with Mr. Chamberlain as their principal stockholder. Many Stories About Fallu TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 30.—~(Special Tel- egram.)—State Bank Examiner W. D. Hart- well of Pawnee City is in' charge of the Chamberjain banking house of Tecumseh, the institution having been turmed over to the State Panking board this morning. The bank became so embarrasced that it could not open today, but at present it cannot be definitely said in what condition it 1s. Many stories are rife on the streets and some lit- tle excitement prevails, but just what ehape matters will take since the examiner.has taken charge cannot be forecasted. The bank 1s & state institution, capitalized at $50,000. W. R. Barton s president, F. A. Taylor, vice president, and Charles M. cnmmmln, cashier, but Mr. Chamberlal acted in the capacity of general manager. It 1s sald that Mr. Chamberlain is in New York state settling up bis father's estate apd that will return to Tecumseh at once. The teller says the bank will pay out in full. That it has $40,000 deposits, $30,000 good paper and no bills payable, besides real ostate, etc. Some outsiders are of the opinion that it will not pay out, while oth- ers agree with the teller. Many reasons are advanced for the clos- ing of the institution, the most feasible one belng that some of the heavy depositors bave commenced to lose faith in the stabil- ity of the institution within the last sixty days and bave drawn heavily on the de- pesits, scarcely glving the bank an oppor- tunity to prepare for the withdrawal of thelr money. Branch banks are operated Mr. Chamberlain Put In Place for the Day, Mon- day. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 80.—(Special.)—Street cars and raliroad trains began hauling people in large numbers to the state falr grounds today, motwithstanding the exposition does mot really open until Monday morning. Throughout the grounds workmen and trimmers were busy arrang- ing the exhibits. Freight cars were backed up on all sidetracks around the fair, all loaded with exhibits. Nearly one entire train came In this morning loaded with farm implements and machinery. Tonight & fish car from the hatcheries at South Bend arrived and tomorrow Superintend- ent O'Brien and Fish Commissioner Simp- kins will superintend the transferring of the fish to the state’s bullding. In Agricultural hall space is at a pre- mium. Heretofore each county sending a collective exhibit has been allowed fifty feet of space, but this year, owing to the increased number of exhibitors, the man- agers found it necessary to reduce the a lotment to thirty-six feet. John H. Fawell of this city, son of Mrs. B. P. Holmes, died today in Manila. He was atlached to the staff of one of the generals in the fslands, acting as offich interpreter. Mr. Fawell was four years consular agent of the United States at San Luls Potosl, Mexico., being transferred to the Philippine Islands a year ago..

The Lincoln city council will meet next Tuesday night to award contracts for coal and street lighting for the ensuing year. For the street lighting there is only one bid, that offered by the Lincoln Gas and Electric company. The scale of prices are the same as those fixed In the contract given a year ago and are considerable lower than those prevailing here several years ago. The bid met with the approval of the lighting committee and has been favorably recom- mended. The contract will call for 174 half night lights and eighteen all night lights. For the all night lights the charge is $7.45 ench' per month and for the half night lights $5.45 each per month. The old scale of prices was: Half night lights, $7.50 each per month, and all night lights, §8.45 each per month. The all night lights now cost 5 cents less per month than the half night lights under the old schedul The average monthly bill for the street lights under the present schedule is | $1,082.40. Counting the number of cases there a now on the docket to be heard, and con- sidering that they will increase at the present rate of filing, the supreme court and nine commissioners should be able to clean up all the triable cases by April 3, the date set for the death of the commis- slon. BE. W. Nelsoh, deputy clerk of the su- preme court, - sald today average of filing has been about llxt! per month, while they have been disposed of at the rate of about 150 per month. At this rate the docket should be just about cleaned up by April 1, the date when the commi n 4¢ due to expire. “‘After that, unless the filings multiply beyond expectations, the court and three commissioners should be able to dispose of all litigation presented for a good many years to, come.” TO OBSERVE LABOR FESTIVAL Hollday Wears Double I¥mport Plattsmouth, Where Much Dem- onstration Will Occur.

Bench warrants also will be issued against several persons as yet un- known. The action is & result of the un- earthing by State's Attorney Denoen of what he thinks to be a gigantic conspiracy to defraud Cook county out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Last week s was discovered that the tax accounts of the Masonic Temple build- ing apparently had been tampered with on the books of the county treasurer. The charge was laid before the state's attor- ney that the entry of “pald” before an ftem of $26,770.17 was a forgery. County Treasurer S. B. Raymond and his chiet clerk, John Becker, asserted that the money was never pald. Captain Willlams, manager for the Masonic Temple associa- tion, maintains that the taxes were paid in cash. The Dafly News prints today what pur- ports to be an expose of the scandal. Michael G. Walsh, an employe of the county treasurer, made a statement which he sald was the same as that which started State's Attorney Deneen in his investiga- tion. ‘Walsh Makes Exposnre. According to Walsh he was appointed by Luke Wheeler, a man who, he maintains, was the head of the conspiracy. Wheeler, Walsh said, told him that the Maeonic Temple association was in bad shape finan- clally and that a bond issue was neces- sary—probably for more than $100,000. In order to permit of thia bond issue the tax title to the big twenty-two story office building must be clear. The plan pro- posed to Walsh was that he mark “patd” in the tax warrant book In the space de- voted to the tax on the Temple for 1901. Walsh said Wheeler promised ample pro- tection, and that all that was necessary for the time being was to show that the bullding stood clear of $27,000 taxes against it. The property had been sold the year previous for taxes, and if the present year wi llowed to remain against the company the trust companies would not touch the bonds. Walsh sald he wae to get $500 of $1,500 to be paid for the job. ‘Walsh maintains he told State’'s Attorney Deneen about the affair and that after- ward somebody whom he did not know did make the forgery.
