BANK PRESIDENT SHOT HIMSELF IN SEATTLE. HIS BANK, IN CLEVELAND, oHHo, CLOSED AND IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS HAS BEEN MISSING TEN DAYS. A BIG MANUFACTURING CONCERN INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE BANK'S TROUBLES. Special to the Register. CLEVELAND, 0., May 8.-To-night Chief of Police Coroner received a telegram from the coroner of Seattle, Washington, stating that R. N. Pollock had committed suicide by shooting in that city, and asking him to locate his people. This was easily done, for Pottock's name has been in people's mouths since Monday, and the Poliock family is one of the most prominent in Cleveland. R. N. Pollock was president or the Cuyahoga Savings & Banking Company, at No. 1461 Woodland avenue. Last Monday morning, by order of the directors, the doors of the institution were closed. At that time Pollock had been absent from the city about ten days, and no clews to his whereabouts were obtained until the message announcing his suicide in Seattle came to-night. The affairs of the company were placed in the hands of the American Trust Company, which was appointed receiver, and ordered to take possession of all the property and conduct the business of the bank, by Judge Strimple. One of the large industrial concerns of the city, the United States Carbon Company, is involved through the action of the bank in closing its doors, and a receiver has been appointed for that corporation. Walter D. Sayle gave bond in the sum of $100,000 and assumed charge of the works of the Carbon Company Tuesday morning. Expert accountants are at work on the books of the Cuyahoga Bank. The immediate cause leading to the closing of the bank was found in the fact that one of the heaviest depositors called at the bank Saturday night and asked permission to withdraw $20,000. The money was not forthcoming. Fearing a run on the bank when this should become known, a meeting of the directors was called and it was decided to close the doors Monday. Six lawsuits having a bearing on the case was commenced in the courts. The directors of the bank and the attorney of the institution, M. B. Johnson, Esq., states that the depositors will suffer no loss.

closed its doors-he deliberately shot himself, first having disposed of eVery evidence he could think of which would let his family know of his sad ending. The following special to the Star tells of the conditions of Pollock's affairs in Cleveland: The Bank a Wreck. CLEVELAND, O,, May 9.-The affairs of the Cuyahoga Savings and Banking Co., of which R. N. Pollock was president, are understood to be in very bad shape. The institution is now in the hands of a receiver, and as yet he has given out no specific statement. It is known, however, that Mr. Pollock backed several Industrial schemes-presumably with the bank's funds-which did not turn out well. The bank's books show total deposits to the amount of $340,000, the major portion of which is in small accounts. If the bank cannot be pulled out of the hole, considerable distress will result to the depositors, few of whom are persons of wealth. Mr. Pollock's widow and her three children live in this city, Mrs. Pollock is utterly prostrated by the news of her husband's suicide in Seattle, and it is feared that she may not rally from the shock of the cruel blow. Coroner Hoye received instructions this morning to ship the body of Pollock to his former home in Cleveland.

He was the promoter of the bank which closed its doors last Wednesday. Pollock disappeared ten days ago, and had not been definitely located until news of his suicide reached here tonight.

The effect of rumors of the bank's weakness was feared by the directors and consequently they suspended pending further investigation. Other Cleveland institutions of money offered their assistance to the Cuyahoga bank and some confidence has thereby been restored. The receiver of the bank stated tonight that Pollock did not take the missing money that was in the bank at the time of his leaving the city and it is believed that, knowing a crisis was near, Pollock sought safety in flight. The United States Carbon Company, which went into the hands of a receiver on account of the failure of the bank, is said to be not seriously involved, and it is expected to resume operations soon with increased facilities.
