INDIANA BANK CLOSES UP. Depositors Will Be Paid in Full and at Once. INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.-The Bank of Commerce this afternoon suspended business as a result of the meeting of the board of directors last night. The directors decided that there was no money in the business as the bank had been doing it and no more deposits will be received. William Bosson, the cashier, said this evening: "We have simply suspended business for the present. We have deposited a sufficient sum of money with the Indiana National bank to pay all of our depositors and no one will lose a cent. The reason we suspended is because of litigation that is now pending and we did not want to do anything that would in any way endanger our depositors." Cashier Bosson said that he could not state whether the bank would resume business when the litigation was ended. The litigation referred to is a claim for about $70,000 allowed to the Knights and Ladies of Honor by the court about a year ago. The sum deposited today by the Bank of Commerce to pay its depositors is about $10,000.

ENDS ITS BUSINESS BANK OF COMMERCE CLOSES ITS DOORS FOR LIQUIDATION. Sufficient Money Placed with the Indiana National to Pay All Depositors. Yesterday the Bank of Commerce closed its doors and announced that it had placed sufficient money on deposit in the Indiana National Bank to pay all depositors in full, and that all checks against deposits would be paid at the Indiana National Bank. This seems to be the direct result of the litigation which has been pending since the suspension of the bank in 1893. A few days ago the Superior Court issued a writ of execution against the bank in favor of the Supreme Lodge, Knights and Ladies of Honor, for a little over $70,000, which was served by Sheriff Womack on Monday. The bank turned over sufficient real estate to satisfy the execution, and at a meeting of the board of directors, Monday night, decided to begin to liquidate yesterday. There was sufficient money placed on deposit in the Indiana National to pay all indebtedness of the Bank of Commerce in full, which will be done as fast as the checks come in. The Bank of Commerce has been preparing for liquidation for some time, and its deposits amounted to only a little more than $10,000. The clearing house was notified yesterday morning of the action of the directors, and at the same time the Indiana National Bank notified the clearing house that it would pay all checks on the Bank of Commerce. The other bankers of the city were not at all surprised when the news reached them of the closing of this bank. They said that it would have no effect whatever in financial circles, as practically the bank had been liquidating for over a year. The bank was organized under the State laws with a capital stock of $200,000. The principal stockholders are the DePauw estate, the DePauw heirs, John W. Ray and William Bosson. Some other stock is held by outside parties in small amounts. It is not known how the stockholders will fare in the liquidation, but it is known that some of the smaller ones, who have held stock for years, have found it an investment that demanded assessments instead of commanding dividends.

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT BANK OF COMMERCE TURNS OVER ITS PROPERTY TO A. J. MINTOSH. Over $180,000 in Notes Included in the Assets-Some of the Real Estate Held. The Bank of Commerce, one of the oldest commercial institutions of Indianapolis, closed its doors a week ago. Yesterday it made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. At noon a meeting of the directors was held at the office of the bank. President N. T. DePauw, Vice President John W. Ray, Cahsier William Bosson, Charles W. DePauw and Byron K. Elliott, attorney for the directors, were present at the meeting. The officials discussed the financial depression under which the bank has labored for some time and at 3 o'clock reached a conclusion. An hour later the deed of assignment was filed at the office of the county recorder. The document was carried to the office by Andrew J. McIntosh, the assignee. The latter is a real-estate dealer of this city and is a brother-in-law of Newland T. and Charles W. DePauw. Immediately after the meeting Messrs. DePauw left for their home at New Albany. The deed of assignment deposited with the county recorder is a voluminous document, carefully prepared after the usual form. It shows that the assets of the insolvent institution are Marion county real estate and a considerable amount of money tied up in notes and securities. All of the real estate owned by the bank is turned over to the assignee. The realty includes the Bank of Commerce Building at the intersection of Virginia avenue with Washington and Pennsylvania streets; twelve acres of ground in Perry township; one lot in Lincoln Park and an equity in the old shoe factory on Brookside avenue. The personal property embraces chiefly the notes held by the bank. These assets are set out in an exhibit which covers three pages of legal cap paper. The notes range in amounts from $150 to $28,000. The figures aggregate $180,373. The larger amounts include the notes of Messrs. DePauw and the Premier Steel Company. The bank holds one note executed by the latter amounting to $28,713.25. There are two notes of the DePauw Plate-glass Company, one for $10,000 and the other for $9,500. The schedule shows two notes given the bank by the Broad Ripple Gas Company of $5,000 each and two notes from R. C. Light aggregating $7,303.88. John W. Ray and William Bosson are each represented by stock notes of $10,000 each. The bank also holds the paper of W. C. DePauw & Co., indicated by notes, aggregating $20,000. The assignee could not say last night what the liabilities of the bank will be. He was also unable to say how much could be realized on the paper held by the bank, but was confident it would yield a snug sum. Although the Premier Steel Company is heavily indebted to the bank, Mr. McIntosh is hopeful of some sort of a settlement. The real estate placed in the hands of the assignee as assets was last week levied upon by the sheriff to satisfy two judgments taken in the Circuit Court by the Supreme Lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Honor and E. J. McBride, supreme treasurer of the order. These judgments amount to about $76,000. The assignee says that the real estate was appraised last week at $80,500. The bank building alone is held at $70,000. The Perry township property is valued at $3,000, and the Lincoln Park real estate at $1,000. The bank's interest in the shoe factory was appraised at $6,500. There is a mortgage on this property of $4,000. Assignee McIntosh thinks that when the property is sold it will more than pay the judgments held by the Knights and Ladies of Honor. This is the heaviest claim against the bank. It is understood that the depositors of the institution will lose nothing by the failure. Last week when the bank closed its doors it was announced that a sufficient sum would be placed in the Indiana National to settle with every depositor, and patrons were notified of the transfer of their deposits. People were given to understand that the Bank of Commerce would pay 100 that
