While not a few people in the state have, perhaps, been led to believe by the Republican politicians and still believe that the Kenyon bank examination corps was inefficient, merely, there are cropping out from time to time little incidents which show an especially friendly and fiduciary relation between representatives of the state and some of the least worthy banks in the state. The Globe has already exposed how, among the treasured possessions of the Minnesota Savings bank, was a note for $1.200 indorsed by the late public examiner and superintendent of banks himself. Now, in connection with the Savings Bank of Minneapolis, a fly-by-night concern. comes information showing that the deal between Bickel and Kenyon was practically duplicated, although on a slightly smaller scale, between Oscar Lonegren, assistant bank examiner, and the Kelseys, who were in command of the latter bank. This Minneapolis savings bank was never a very pretentious institution, although quite ambitious, and in its modest way it managed to secure from the people of that city, or from about 500 of them, deposits aggregating about $7,000. The bank was organized by a man named Kelsey, who has a record as a bank organizer that is relatively unique. Kelsey organized a bank with as little trouble as a street soap fakir sets up his little tripod on a street corner. He ordered a sign and started into business. Assistant Bank Examiner Lonegren had, as a part of his official duties, the examination of such institutions as this. The bank was only organized within a year or two, but in June Mr. Lonegren's check for $50 turned up in the assets (?) of the bank, being credited to the cash and cash items account. A little later another check for $50 turned up. That made $100 which was being carried on the books of the bank as cash on hand. In order to get a line of patronage that they had been unable to get into. the directors elected Magnus Turnblad, of Svenska Amerikanska Posten, and August Walkow, trustees. When Kelsey was arrested for some e troubles in connection with his bank at Presson, the trustees, who had been very busy attending to their own business, decided to look into Kelsey's. / They soon found these checks. This was in November. Public Examiner ) Kenyon was waited upon, and he and Lonegren afterward had rather a breezy session, the result finally being that Lonegren drew his December pay early in the month and took up these checks, which he had left in the bank all the time. That is all right, therefore, between Lonegren and the bank, but some of the depositors want to know how that protects them and other people in the state who have to depend on the examination of the public officials to know whether or not a financial institution is sound or unsound, and who may reasonably view with suspicion the so frequent finding in the alleged assets of failed banks evidence of "accommodations" given to the former examiner and his assistants. Mr. Kenyon seemed to think, when Lonegren drew his December pay in advance and cleared the matter up, that it was all over, but the trustees, Turnblad and Walkow were a little i : nervous over their affiliation with the bank. and besought E. M. Pope, the new bank examiner, to close up. Gen. Pope was averse to summary proceedings, insisting that, if the bank people wanted the place closed. they should first procure some additional securities for the depositors which t could not be so well obtained after the closing of the bank, or even following h an application for a receiver. As soon I as these formalities were complied with to the present examiner's satisfaction, he took the steps necessary to have the bank put in the hands of a receiver, where it is now
