TWO NORWICH BANKS CLOSE THEIR DOORS Bankers Reported Involved in Other Difficulties Close of First National Bank Followed Quickly by That of Trust Company Norwich, April 16-The First National Bank of Norwich was closed today by order of its directors and National Bank Examiner N. S. Dean has been placed in charge. Advices to the comptroller of the currency say the bank was closed because of the relations of its president with a failed commercial concern. The Thames Loan & Trust Company, of which Franklin S. Jerome, president of the First National Bank which was closed today, was president, also closed its doors this afternoon. The following notice was posted at the bank building this afternoon: "On April 4, we published in response to the call of the department a statement of our condition. We were solvent at that time and we believe that we are now, but the suspension of the Atlantic National Bank of Providence and of the First National Bank of Norwich has created a distrust that is resulting in our depositors calling for our deposits, and in order to protect our customers fully we have decided to suspend and place ourselves in the hands of the State Banking Department. (Signed) The Thames Loan & Trust Company, R. W. Perkins, treasurer." The last printed report of the condition of the bank shows that the company is capitalized at $100,000. The surplus and undivided profits amount to $58,822.83. The resources and liabilities of the First National Bank, on April 1, aggregated $1,272,680 including capital stock of $300,00, surplus $108,745, deposits $538,654, loans $737,198. According to one of the directors of the First National Bank of this city, which was closed today by order of its directors, the order was brought about by the recent demanding of their money by some of the largest depositors. The bank has a capital of $300,000 and the last statement showed deposits of $300,000 with assets of $600,000. The president of the bank, Franklin S. Jerome, recently resigned as treasurer of the United States Finishing Company, which has been in financial difficulties for some time.

TWO BANKS CLOSE DOORS Norwich Institutions Act to Protect Depositors. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Norwich, Conn., April 16.-The First National Bank and the Thames Loan and Trust Company closed their doors to-day, the first by vote of the directors and the latter to stop the run which the First National's closing had caused. The First National is capitalized at $300,000 and has a surplus and undivided profit account of $100,000, while the deposits include certificates amounting to $440,000. The trouble follows that of the United States Finishing Company, which has a branch here. The bank was not involved in the company's finances, but Franklin S. Jerome, president of the bank, was the treasurer of the finishing company, and this led to the withdrawal of accounts and the embarrassment of the institution, though, in the opinion of Cashier Hopkins, the depositors will lose nothing. The closing of the First National started a run upon the Thames Loan and Trust Company, of which also Jerome is president. To protect depositors the State Bank Commissioners placed a restraining order of three months upon the institution. In their opinion the bank can pay in full all its depositors. Its capital is $100,000, and it has a surplus of $100,000. Its general deposits amount to $522,000 and its savings department deposits total $643,000.

AWAITS THE EXAMINER. N. S. Bean Is Appointed to Look After Norwich, Conn., Bank. Norwich, Conn., April 17.-Cashier C. Leslie Hopkins of the First National bank, which is now in the hands of the comptroller of the currency, said last night that the suspension of the bank yesterday was in no way connected with the closing of the Atlantic National bank at Providence earlier in the week. as had been commonly rumored. He further said that the bank has not a dollar in the United States Furnishing company, of which Franklin S. Jerome, the bank's president, recently resigned as treasurer, because of financial difficulties of that company. Mr. Hopkins was emphatic in his declaration that the bank could pay every cent to its depositors. Treasurer Robert W. Perkins of the Thames Loan & Trust company, which is an adjoining building to the First National bank, and whose president is also Mr. Jerome, stated last night that the closing of the trust company's doors at noon yesterday was a precautionary measure. He considers the bank solvent, but desired to ward off a run on the institution during a period of public unrest and therefore placed the company in the hands of the state bank commissioners. Upon the application of the state bank examiners, Judge Williams of the superior court issued a restraining order against the trust company for three months. National Bank Examiner N. S. Bean of Manchester, N. H., is expected here today to take charge of affairs at the First National bank.

The First National bank, of which Franklin S. Jerome is president, did not open for business on Wednesday morning, and after a meeting of the board of directors at 10.30 o'clock the following notice was posted on the door: "By action of the board of directors this bank has been closed to await action of comptroller of currnecy." News of the financial difficulties of the First National bank spread rapidly, and was enough to have an immediate influence upon the Thames Loan and Trust compan, next door. of which Mr. Jerome is also president. Within a short time a run had started on the savings department of the Thames Loan and Trust company, and when Treasurer Robert W. Perkins considered it advisable to put into effect about 11 o'clock the 60 day notice clause in the savings department, the commercial department began to feel the run. and the state bank examiners in Hartford thought it the safest thing to have the bank closed. The following notice was posted at the Thames Loan and Trust bank at 12 o'clock:

NORWICH BANKS CLOSE DOORS Indirect Result of U. S. Finishing Company's Difficulties DISTRUST OF PRESIDENT Franklin J. Jerome Was Head of Two Banks and Treasurer of Industrial Concern-$40,000 Savings Withdrawn from Thames Trust. Norwich.-The First National Bank and the Thames Loan & Trust Company, both of this city, closed their doors, the first under orders of its creditors, and the latter by reason of a restraining order secured by the State bank commissioners from Judge Williams in the Superior Court. It is believed here, however, that the depositors in both institutions will recelve dollar for dollar. The failure of the First National Bank comes almost directly after the closing of the Atlantic National Bank of Providence, by order of the Federal Comptroller. Franklin J. Jerome, president of the bank, was, until recently, treasurer of the United States Finishing Company, which has a large plant at Norwich, and which is now in the hands of a reorganization committee. The failure of the Providence bank was attributed to the embarrassment of the United States Finishing Company, and, as Mr. Jerome was president of the First National and also of the Thames Loan & Trust Company, it created a distrust in the stability of both institutions and resulted in a run on both banks, more than $40,000 having been withdrawn from the savings department of the Thames Trust since the last statement was issued April 4. For this reason the directors of the First National decided that It was best to close its doors, in order to conserve to the fullest extent the holdings of the bank for the benefit of the depositors. The bank commissioners also decided to forestall any extended run on the trust company, and so obtained a restraining order for three months.

RECEIVER IN CHARGE. At First National Bank-Starts by Making Out New Set of Books. Receiver H. G. Murray is now in charge of the First National bank, preparing for the process of liquidation. National Bank Examiner N. S. Bean turned over the affairs of the bank to the received on Saturday and left on a late afternoon train for his home in Nashua, N. H. He did not expect to be here again. Receiver Murray said on Tuesday that he could make no forecast as to how long he would be here in connection with his duties as receiver. His first work is to open an entirely new set of books and this he is now engaged upon. Until this work is completed he said he could sav little about conditions as the receiver does not take the bank's figures and books but proceeds as if he were opening an entirely new business. Notice has been issued for all having claims against the bank to present them in legal form. As far as depositors are concerned, Mr. Murray said that this meant they would present them on the regular form provided, which has to be sworn to before a notary. In the course of the liquidation the receiver issues receiver's certificates for such claims as are approved. These certificates are negotiable.

CONDENSED DESPATCHES. The First National Bank of Norwich, Ct., which closed its doors, last April, will soon pay a 50 per cent. dividend to all creditors, including depositors, it was announced, Thursday. A few days ago, Receiver Murray recommended to the treasury department. that this be done and his recommendation has been approved. The bank is is process of liquidation. Continued postponements of the hearings in the suit of John Marsch of Chicago against the Southern New England Railroad for damages arising through the sudden stopping on the work of constructing the proposed railroad line in southern Massachusctts, indicates that the case may be settled out of court, according to interested parties. The case came up for hearing, Thursday, at Boston, on the question of sending it to a master, but Judge Braley readily granted still further delay at the suggestion of counsel for both sides. It is understood that daily conferences are being held by counsel in the hope of reaching an agreement. Milton Scheftal, known to the police as C. H. Kemp of Jacksonville, Fla., was brought to Boston, Wednesday night, from Utica, N. Y., to answer charges of forging checks at Boston hotels. Although restitution has been made by a woman, said to be Scheftal's wife, the police will continue their prosecution. Police Inspector Harry Pierce accompanied Scheftal to Boston. The prisoner is believed to be an expert bad check worker, and before being turned over to the Boston police, was released from police custody at Buffalo and Ithaca after the woman, supposed to be his wife, settled the claims against him. Two far calls for help just received by the department of agrículture have come from Palestine and British East Africa, respectively. One is from an agricultural colony near the ancient city of Joppa, which desires to plant trees that will bind the drifting desert sands. The forest service, Thursday, wrote to the colony calling attention to the reclamation work at Landes, France, where a wealth producing forest of maritime pine, the source of the French turpentine, has checked the shifting dunes. The request from British East Africa was for parasites for the green fly which was doing much harm in the wheat fields. The Parasites have been shipped and, if they arrive safely. it is believed they will hold the wheat pest in check,

FIRST BANK RECEIVER WILL SELL ASSETS Superior Court Passes - Order Upon Receiver Murray's Application. Harold G. Murray, the receiver of the First National bank, is pressing the affairs of that institution towards a settlement as speedily as possible. Today in the superior court, through his attorney, W. H. Shields, the receiver procured authority from Judge Shumway to sell various assets of the bank and to compromise some claims where the debtors are unable in the near future to pay in full their obligations. In one case, six notes totalling $14,553.44, with collateral, were compromised for a cash offer of $5,250 and in the other a note for $17,500 with collateral was compromised for an offer of $1,750 in cash and valuable collateral. These cases for sales and compromises were first investigated fully by the receiver and were then taken under consideration by the acting comptroller of the currency of the United States at Washington, who approved of the sales and compromises asked for in each instance and instructed the receiver to apply to the superior court here to make its order to make the sales and compromises asked for. All these proceedings are said to be clearly for the best interest of the First National bank, its sharehold. ers and creditors, in hastening its affairs to a final settlement and stopping expenditures.
