Receiver.
Borne such action as this has been within
the possibilities for the past two days,
forecasted by the determined raid made
upon the Institution's stock on the Pitts
burg Stock exchange. The positive state
ments, however, of the president, J. A.
Langfltt to the effect that tha bank waa
not n need of money, that Ha losses would
not affect its capital or surplus, did much
toward allaying distrust on tha part of
its depositors, thus preventing a run.
Tha closing of the bank waa decided upon
at a meeting of the director last night,
which did not break up until I o'clock
thla moraine. At that hour none of the
officials would make a statement and lo-
cally the outcome of the meeting was
not generally known until the receiver's
notice waa posted at o'clock.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. . -The actual

assembled In the California theater. The
auditorium of the theater waa comfortably
filled.
The theater and stage were haadsomely
decorated with flowers, evergreana and
ferns. Right Rev. William Ford Nichols,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Califor
nia, then Invoked a divine blessing upon the
gathering. Following the roll call. Eugen
B. Schmlta. mayor of Ban Francisco, mad
an address extending a hearty welcome to
the distinguished visitors and he waa fol
lowed by Governor George C. Pardee. An
other address of welcome waa made by
James D. Phelan. on behalf f th San
Francisco banker. President Hardy made
a response tc the messages of good will
and hospitality, saying in part:
The unprecedented prosperity of the past
few years brought us last fall to a climax
of high prloes tor commodities and securi
ties. The same sunshine which brings to Its
full fruition our rich harvest also foster
the tares. So among the substantial edi
fices of our prosperity, have sprung up
artificial commercial structures which have
failed signally to stand the teet of Urn.
Over sanguine people, some probably not
over scrupulous, had been capitalising and
recapitalising schemes of all kinds and In-
duclng people, with paper pronia. to un
derwrite floatations which they wer unable
to carry. The boom bad gone too far,
the natural reaction set in and a general
house cleaning begun where It we moat
needed, in the weeding out of overcapital
ised and Inflated aecurltlea.
Period of Uqaldatlea.
We have jrone through a period of liqui
dation In speculative circle of th most
drastic character without results except to
the few who have gotten too far beyond
their nnt ha The process Is not yet com.
nlete end the war Is atlll strewn with
cripples and "Indigestible" securities, but
general business conditions are sound.
Let us review briefly the attitude and re
lation of some of onr hanking institutions
to the conditions and incldenta referred to,
and the methods pursued by them in th
prosecution of their bualneaa. X refer
especially to the vicious policy of paying
tigh rate for depoaita, particularly aav- .
tr.es and time depoaita. If there ia aay
class of men. more than others, who
should never take speculative risk It I
thoee wn r handlirg the earnlnga and
saving of ethics, and the seeking of de
posits st high rates of Inureet. which
can only be earned by speculative in- ,
vestments. Is a menace to sound banking.
Sa vines depositor should carefully Shun,
such Institutions, of which there ar. how
ever, happily, but few.
All tho Cwrreaey Seeded.
The vast majority of ua feel assured wo
have had, so far, all the currency we have
needed and that an increase of It Just at
this time, would lend a further undesirable
stimulus to speculation. The enormoue
production of gold in the last few years
has been either lost sight of. or If studied
will furnish food for thought The advan
tages claimed for the bank circulation of
other countries, over our bond secured
notes, nave much merit from a aclentlfto
standpoint and would have more from a
practical Btandpolnt If the element of flak
could be ellminsted which haa brought
destruction In some Instances.
The rraeticsl question is. could It bo satis,
factorily grafted on to our banking system,
and if so, howT The idea of a "central
bank" or a "branch banking system" I
repugnant to our conception of free gov
ernment and Institution, and. unless I
mistake the temper of our people, will
never be accepted. Neither win any form
of currency be accepted which doe not
carry with it the arre confluence of secur
ity which our bank note new enjoy.
A consideration of our present develop
ment and conditions would not be complete
without reference to our corporationa of
the present day.
Great Iadaatrtal Corporatloaa.
In the formation of our great Industrial
corporations, we have been confronted with
new and strange 00 minions. Eliminating
thoee of fraudulent or factious character,
nearly all of them have been subject to
criticism In the matter of capitalisation,
and the weak point with all of them haa
been the failure to provide reasonable
working capital.
There ha been a greater creation . of
securities in the consolidation of many of
our railroads than actual values, ap
parently. Justify, but the concentration of
management and control has brought
about a stability of rates, which baa
created an established value for the legiti
mate securities, without hardship to tho
, patron of the roads It la a serious oue.
tion whether th aggregate maraet value
of all our railroad securities equals th
amount originally expended In the ran- '
struction of them with even a moderate re
turn upon the Investments.
The reduction in me cost or transportation
has made It possible to move freight
profitably at rate which would hav
formerly been considered Impossible. I do
not mean to suggest thst the roads should
be left entirely free In the matter of fixing
rate, but the reasonable concentration of
their management should rather facilitate
their control in this respect by conservative
legislative enactment
