The Exchange Bank of Peoria voluntarily suspended March 23, 1921 after heavy withdrawals tied to scares and closures of nearby/correspondent banks (Glendale, Central Bank of Phoenix). It reopened about one month later (20 April 1921) after depositors pledged funds and state examiners reorganized affairs. Later (March 1922) a receiver (R. M. Lyle) was appointed and the bank became defunct; that is a subsequent closure not part of the immediate 1921 suspension/reopening episode.

3 MORE BANKS IN STATE CLOSE PHOENIX, March 23.-Suspension of business by three Arizona banking institutions today overwhelmed the state banking department. in the of. fice of State Auditor Charles W. Fairfield, with work. The department was without enough examiners to take charge of the closed institutions so Mr. Fairfield appointed two temporary examiners. The banks closed and the men placed in charge of each were: The Citizens State Bank of Phoenix, with H. M. Moritz, deputy bank examiner in charge: the Exchange Bank of Peoria, with K. G. Freeland/ formerly assistant cashier of the Central Bank of Phoenix. in charge: and the Central Bank of Wickenburg, with E. L. Riggle in charge. The general appropriation bill passed at the last session of the legislature provides funds for two more deputy bank examiners but this. money will not be available until July first. The state has funds in all of the institutions which closed, but the money is said to be amply secured by bonds.

THREE BANKS IN THE COUNTYFAIL TOOPEN DOORS YESTERDAY Three banks, one in Phoenix, the Citizens of Five Points, the Central Bank of Wickenburg and the Exchange Bank of Peoria, suspended operations yesterday morning from different causes, all of them more or less related to the closing of the Central Bank of Phoenix last Monday. The closing of the Wickenburg bank was precipitated by a story telegraphed to the Journal-Miner of Prescott on Monday in which it was stated that the Wickenburg bank had suspended, though it had not done so, and there was no probability that it would. It was well within the legal reserve, but the run was inevitable and yesterday morning after a conference with the state bank examiner it was decided not to reopen the bank for business. The Citizens bank of Five Points had also been subjected to a disastrous run on Tuesday. It too was well within the legal reserve and was in a prosperous condition, but without means to withstand the steady and heavy drain of a day upon it. The state banking department found itself overwhelmed with business and without provision for the employment of enough examiners for the closed institutions. Accordingly, K. G. Freeland, former assistant cashier of the Central bank, was sent by State Auditor Fairfield to take charge of the Peoria bank: E. L. Riggle is temporarily est charge of the Wickenburg bank, and H. M. Moritz, deputy bank examiner, of the Citizens bank. The general appropriation bill passed in the late legislative session provides for two more deputy bank examiners, but the funds appropriated will not be available before July 1. The state has funds in all of these institutions, all amply secured by bonds. There were wild rumors throughout the day of the suspension of other small banks in this county and of two outside the county, but there was no confirmation of them at the office of the state auditor. o

EXCHANGE BANK OF PEORIA WILL REOPENTODAY Institution Resumes Business Just One Month After Suspension Stronger In Every Way It is Declared The Exchange bank of Peoria which voluntarily closed its doors on March 23 will reopen again this morning for business. Just one month from the day the bank decided to suspend business, it resumes banking stronger in every way than it has been for many months. The reopening of the bank is the cause of general rejoicing among the residents of Peoria who almost to an individual have stood by the institution, confident in their regard for the business ability of the officials and their belief that the bank soon would resume. Practically the same plan employed by the Citizens state bank of Phoenix in reopening that institution was used by the patrons and officials of the Peoria bank. it was onnounced by Charles W. Fairfield, superintendent C1 state banks. Practically 95 per cent of the depositors have signed an agreement to allow their deposits to remain in the bank for one year or more. They have co-operated with the state bank superintendent in every way tending toward the resumption of business which was predicted by Mr. Fairfield shortly after he examined the affairs of the institution following its closing. Steady withdrawal of deposits of the Exchange Bank of Peoria started when the Glendale bank closed its doors. It had a branch in Peoria and there was considerable uneasiness occasioned in that town. The failure of the Central bank in Phoenix to open about a month ago added to the financial difficulties as it was a correspondent of the Peoria institution. are bright now and the But bank the resumes skies business stronger than ever. The reserve, which had been run down, has been made good by Peoria people, and under the plan of reopening, the surplus is to be increased $10,000 within the next 60 days. The deposits of the bank at the time of closing was $142,000. The capital stock is $25,000. The officers of the bank are Charles F. Dalton, president; J. M. Hall, vice president; P. Latham, vice president: and L. A. Bechtol, cashier. The bank was organized in 1917. "Everyone has stuck by us." declared Charles F. Dalton. president of the Exchange Bank of Peoria, over the telephone last night. "There has not been a knocker. We believe we are stronger than when the bank was closed." This is the second bank in the valvey to be reopened within a short time through the combined efforts of the bank officials, the state bank superintendent and the depositors. The Citizens State Bank of Phoenix, which failed to open at the same time a month ago, was reopened a few days ago. Recently the state effected a consolidation of the Security Bank and Trust Company of Tucson and the Tucson National bank.

The plan for the reopening of the Central bank of Phoenix is still meeting with favorable consideration, and it is stated on good authority that the bank will reopen shortly, without the necessity of going thru an expensive receivership.

Agree to Plan On his return last week Mr. Fairfieid said the matter was under consideration, and the first intimation he had of any change in their view was the massage received yesterday telling him to go forward with his program for the reopening of the bank Mr. Fairfield has made journeys from coast to coast in the interest of the bank's 4,000 depositors whose interests he has protected by the plan under which business will be resumed. Only a hours before the word came from the east that his months of anxiety and labor were about to be rewarded he was served with papers in the mandamus action to compel him to turn over the affairs of the bank to the attorney general for a receivership. Before the service he had read an account of the filing of the papers in the superior court and ded clared that he was amazed. S The opening of the Central bank n next week will mark the third of the S three banks which closed during a brief interval to reopen its doors. The r Citizens State Bank at Five Points d and the Exchange Bank of Peoria e were both opened after suspension of business caused by runs due to n "scares." n Before being advised of the good e news from the east, Mr. Fairfield ise sued the following statement: d Regrets Court Action "The action of Mr. Accomazzo in n applying for mandamus to compel me e to turn the affairs of the Central Bank is of Phoenix to the attorney general n for a receivership came to me as quite a surprise. "I have felt that the action which I have taken in trying to reorganize and reopen the bank was one which met with the approval of all con cerned in the affairs of the Central r Bank, My course has. in fact, been sanctioned by a large majority, both in number and amounts, of the credit a tors of the bank. "Immediately after the bank closed eour examinations showed that, beyond on doubt, on account of the many pe rs culiar conditions surrounding the af ed fairs of the bank, in event of force te liquidation of the assets, the recover Cto the ordinary depositor would b n. very small indeed. There are approx he imately 4.000 of these depositors with an something over a million dollars a of stake and I have felt it my duty t te protect the rights of these depositor re d to the fullest possible extent. I ho not believe that anyone can substan al tiate a' statement to the effect tha the depositor or any other perso ce. connected with the bank has suffere ist in any manner by the delay. nd "On the other hand should we b tic able to reopen the bank on our pro m, posed plan the depositors will in tim hot receive 100 per cent of their deposit ain while under a receivership, I canno believe that more than a 15 or 20 p ucent repayment to depositors will ice possible. Our plans are now so nea an a conclusion that this week would se the either a receivership or the start cgwork for reopening. eau "The present peculiar condition a the over the United States has ma necessary a different procedure fro of what we have been used to in t vas past. A bank in Sterling, Colorad dewhose doors were closed prior and Christmas was held by the com ced troller of the currency and reopen on May 1. and there are several 1 stances all through the western pa NS of the country that could be cited ona precedent for the action I a ich taking. be V regret that this suit should ha nds anbeen started by one of those whose interests I have been working ced and I believe that Mr. Accomazzo h ent law not kept fully informed of the enti shsituation or his saction would n ise. have been brought."

Use The Republican In view of the decided success of The Republican in securing buyers for those in the Glendale district, who have articles for sale or who have other uses for the classified columns we suggest that you investigate the merits of these columns for your own material gain. The excellent service that the paper gives, coupled with the quality of the advertising which is shown by the volume of classified carried, you can make money for yourself by using an ad and disposing of that which you do not want. A complete change of routes in the Glendale district makes it possible for no one to be more than one-half mile from a seven-day route on The Republican, the "state's greatest newspaper."
