The bank held paper of C. J. | Devlin of Topeka to the amount of up- | ward 'of $100,000, and the failure is the | direct result of the closing of the First { National Bank. of Topeka, of which Devlin was the principal stockholder. Up to the close of banking hours no flurry affecting other local institutions had followed the fajlure. Nothing bor- dering on a run was experienced at any of the local banks and according to | the officers at each place none was ex- | pected. . The City National had been in a weakened condition for some time. Its fallure had been anticipated and | therefore no surprise was shown in | banking circles to-day when the an- | nouncement was made that it had been | taken.in charge by National Bank Ex- taminer- Ames. Neither Ames nor’the | bank's officials or its attorneys were in | a position to make a definite statement regarding the bank’s condition. | The failure of the City National Bank |of Kansas City was due in a great | measure to the fact that it held upward of $100,000 of C.

The Citizens’ Bank of Eureka, Kans., and the First National Bank at Toron- to, Kans, both of which were headed by Edward Crebo, president of the City Natio K, had apparently not bean’ by the Kensas City fail- uré up to ‘the closing hour to-night. Telephone messages from both points stated that the banks would not close. Some time ago the Comptroller of the Currency at Washington instructed the officers of the City National Bank to repair its capital. This was done by borrowing from a local capitalist. Fol- lowing the failure of the First National Bank at Topeka the Kansas City capi- talist became insistent for the repay- ment of. his loan and this demand caused the officers of the City National to decide upon closing their institution. The, City National Bank was organ- ized in 1900 and is one of the young- est of the national banking institutions in the city. Its capital is $300,000 and # has deposits of $1,476,648. Its of- ficers are: Edward Crebo, president; James C. Strean, cashier; John Moore, vice ‘president; Charles Loomis, second vice president. WITHDRAWALS BY DEPOSITORS. Although the holding of Devlin paper, upon which no immediate reallzation could be made, was the prime cause of the faflure, it is stated that the gen- eral knowledge that the bank held other bad paper and was in a weakened condition has led to a general with- drawal of deposits. At no time had a run of any big proportions been on, but it is was stated withdrawals had been made quietly for several months and that within sixty days $600,000 had been | | | | | taken out. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The Acting | Comptroller of the Currency in a staté- ment issued to-day regarding the clos- ing of the City National Bank of Kan- sas City says that no loans exceeding the limit of 10 per cent of the bank’s | capital ‘mre shown by the last report of the condition of the bank at the close of business on May 29. BOYCOTT IS A HINT TO CALIFORNIANS Chinese Explain That It Is Not Directed Against Government. SHANGHAI July 20.—About 1500 Chi- nese, including the heads of all the prin- cipal guilds and delegates from many provinces, attended a mass-meeting yes- terday, which arranged to begin the boy- cott of American goods to-morrow. It was distincly announced that the action taken was not against the American Government, © whose constant Kkindness was fully recognized, but it was pointed cut that, unless the Chinese showed themselves to be In earnest, they would produce no effect on the .California labor unfons. There is still much doubt as to whether. the boycott really ‘will be maintained. ‘WASHINGTON, July 20.—The Depart- ment of State has received a report from Samuel L. Gracey, American Consul at Chinese merchants at Shanghal on May 6 to discuss the American exclusion laws and the Chinese boycott of . American goods. The society most active was the Jen Ching (Man Mirror) Literary - So- clety of Shanghal. More than 200 per- sons attended and adopted resolutions de- claring. they would stop consuming or or- dering Amerfean goods; that the natives who worked for American merchants, or who were engaged in the transportation of American goods, would ask for higher wages; that the privileges given to the “Hehsing Company” for building a rail- way should be withdrawn, and that any Chin trchant found. to.deal secretly in Am B not only would be fined, but socially boycotted. ; —_———— for an in- laborers < and e in South Dakota. e 3 235 to $45 & month and board ~ WILL PROBE Fuchau, China, on the meeting held by | sain iafor- ,’é:" 0m | London and back to New York. .

Hazen, local United yesterday of the arrest in Los Angeles of Joseph B. Gregory, alias Harry Leonard, alias J. B. Hastings, who has been fian‘t‘ed by the United States Government ;fince 1853 as an escaped counterfeiter. veral days ago Captain Hazen received word from Police Officer Thomas Broad- head of Los Angeles to the effectsthat he Knew of the whereabouts of a counter- feiter who had escaped while en route to prisen, and an inquiry by Hazen satisfied him that the suspected man was Gregory, who was arrested in Oakland in March, 189, by Chief of Police' Tompkins, now ‘Warden of San Quentth, for passing coun- terfeit dollars. Gregory, after his arrest yesterday, ad- mitted his identity, and ‘steps will be taken to send him back to Tacoma to serve out an unexpired term. When arrested in* Oakland thirteen years ago Gregory was released on $500 bonds, which he forfelted. He fled to the North and was later arrested in Seattle for passing counterfeit $ pieces and was sentenced to a term of seven Years' imprisonment “at McNeill Island Penitentiary. - Scon: afterward United States Attorney General Miller ordered three counterfeiters, among them Greg- ory, transferred to the House of Cor- rection at Detroit, and while en route to that prison Gregory slipped his handcuffs and escaped. This was the last heard of Gregory until a few days ago, when Captain Hazen re- celved the tip that the fugitive was in Southern Californja. It {s possible that the Government may decide that Gregory shall serve out the balance of the time he owes the Government in one,of the California prisons and in"that case he will be turned over to the Unjted States Mar- shal on his arrival here. s Gregory belonged to.a gang-of counter- feiters that caused no end of annoyance to the authorities and business men of this city and vicinity a few years ago by passing bogus bills and various denomina- ‘tions of silver coins. Associated with him | in his illegal operations were Giovanni| Abbatti, Pacla Viscounti, Charles M. Mur- ray, Fred Marsh, M. D. Howell and two | others. Abbatti was the mnnufflclurer‘ of the bogus bills, which he distributed | among. confederates in the East, shipping them the currency in macaroni boxes in lots of $1000. The coins he made at his home on Chestnut street. Viscounti was Abbatti’s helper and lived with him, and Murray kept a saloon on Stevenson street, where the gang made its headquarters. Howell was a Stockton capitalist and Gregory and Marsh were the passers of the money, Eventually the entire gang was exposed through the efforts ‘of Police Office: ‘Robért Kerrison of.this city and the lat. ‘Secrét Setvice Agént Nicholas ' Harrfs. All the .members of the gang were ar- rested and sentenced to long terms in| prison, except Howell and Marsh. Howell | mandged to fight off conviction afte: spending his entire fortune and Marsiu turned State’s ‘evidence ‘and the charge against hi was not pressed. Howell re- cently died in this city. Gregory is the third counterfeiter that has been caught in this State by Captain Hazen and his assistants during the last four months. He is under indictment in this city on another charge and it is prob- able that after serving out his unexpired , term he will have to serve another long | sentence. et e NECK BROKEN BY A FALL—Charles Cummings, 1iving at Folsom and Sixteenth streets, fell from the second story of the new bullding on Guerrero - and Fourteenth streets yesterday, breaking his neck.
