WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—Assistant Secretary Curtis has gone to New York with the $100.000,000 4 per cent. bond {suue in his vest pocket.

In this Congre But he was changed from his purpose by two reasons, which were discussed in the Cabinet meeting yesterday. The first was the object of ex-Secretary Fairchiid’s Wewtern trip and one object of Assistant Secretary Curtis's visit to New York, to secure a purtial relief of the Treasury by deposiis of gold, was about to be accomplished, and that the strain would be temporarily lessened. ‘The second reason was that If the call were issued before the House had time to act on the Springer bill it would ex- cite unfavorable criticism.

If the Committee takes positive action {n opponltion to the plans of the Admin- istration it 1s thought that the President will throw off restrain and order the bond call on Thursday.

Examiner Judson Is in Charge— President Manners In. dignant. The East Side Bank, 135 Grand street, closed its doors at 9.30 this morning, and @ notice paste! on the window informed all comers that the institution had been closed by Bank Examiner Preston pend- ing an investigation of its affairs, There were a score or mure of depos- {tors about the doors, Mr, Judson, ot the Banking Depart- ment, received an “Evening World” re- porter In the bank. He gave out this | statement, to which neither President Manners nor any other official of the bank would add a syllable: “The Banking Department commenced An examination of the affairs of this bank two days ago, and hi not yet reached @ conclusion, But after a con- sultation with President Manners and with President Crane, of the Shoe and Leather Bank, Clearing:-Houi ants for this hank, it was deemed advisable for the Banking Department to take pos- session pending the result of the examl- nation now being made. The rules of the Clearing-House make it obligatory upon the Shoe and Leather Bank to clear for this bafk next Monday. That's all there is to say at present.” The National Shoe and Leather Bank sent out @ notice this morning that after to-day it will no longer act as clearing agent for tne wast Side Bank, This notice was sent out by the Shoe and Leather Bank to all the banks in the Clearing-House Association in its ex- changes this morning. A very few moments after this notice reached the Clearing-House Manager Sherer received a telephone messa, from State Bank Examiner Judaon, say- ing that he was in charge of the East Side Bark. His action ts the result of a special examination which was begun a few days ago by State Bank Superintendent Preston, who heard that the affairs of the bank were not in a satisfactory condition. He at once sent his men under Mr, Judson to make a thorough examination. President Manners was very indignant because the Superintendent started the examination on what Mr, Manners claimed were simply malicious reports. He said that the bank was in excel- lent condition, had a good surplus and its reserve was away above the legal re- quirement. Mr. Judson's examination, which was completed last night, shows that within the last sixty days the bank has lost over $180,000 of its deposits; that its surplus is gone; that there 1s a very grave question as to whether the col- lateral which it holds is worth as much as nas been loaned upon it, and that the fixed expenses of the bank are greatly in excess of its present earn- ings. Rumors have been afloat about the bank for some time, but they have al ways been met by an emphatic denial from President Manners and Vice-Pr. (Continued on Third Page.)
