+ EEE" YEAR 81. NO. 84, The Baily MADOC BANK AFFAIRS ARE IN A BAD STATE President Dale Seeks Refuge Near Buffalo, N. Y. STOCK SPECULATION ALLEGED AS CAUSE OF THE BANK'S DOWNFALL Its Failure is a Blow at Private Banks --Directors Are Doing Ev- erything Possible to Got at the Facts, Madoc, April, 9.--Much of the mystery cloaking the sudden disap- bearance of James C. Dale, presi- dent and general manager of the Dale private bank here, which was recently closed, was partly cleared away yesterday by the discovery of an alleged {irregularity of his ac counts. The continued absence of Mr. Dale, together with the silence maintained at his home as to his whereabouts, has created a feeling of unrest among some fourteen _hundred depositors anxiously await- 'ing the results of a scrutiny mow under way by two expert accoun- tants Into the affairs of the bank. it is generally conceded by the di- rectors of the bank, which has been doing business for upwards of twen- FEPPIPEEL EPI 0% COUNCIL | OF ' NATIONS * Toronto, April 9 In an interview to-day: Norman An- gell, author of "The "Great Illusion" and apostle of peace, says, in his opinion, President Wilson will find that be will have to call a council of nations to seftle af- fairs in Mexico, probably en the basi of withdrawing all financial support from that troubled republic. LAE EE SERIE PROT PPG One thing apparent, hbwever, is that the bank is now insolvent. The president has been a promin- ent figure in business and financial cireles in this village most of his life. He owns a beautiful home in the heart of the residential district and has several large realty holdings in the business section » TWO MEN WERE KILLED Under the Debris of a Wall in To- ronto. Toronto, April 9~Two are « one §s dying, and three ae Send.

That private banks are'doomed in| this district is the. concensus of | opinion of many' of the depositors | who bave hitherto pinned their! faith to the band that has just! closed its doors under conditions which present anything but encour- agement to hundreds of depositors, @ great many of whom are farmers who have been patrons of the bank | almost from its Inception. Only | a few years ago there were five! such private banking institutions in| this district. Two of them failed, | and the other two were absorbed by chartered banks. The latest| trouble In local banking circles is! the talk of the village in fact, it has had a marked effect upon busi- ness, which is temporarily feeling the shock on account of the large Tagua Fs wh ds focked , up. Many travellers have left the village without making a sale owing to the determipation of the merchants to ascertain first the actual pasition of the bank" before placing additional' orders. The de- positors are in ignorance of where- abouts of Mr. Dale, who is supbosed to be suffering from a nervous breakdown. It was learned that the missing * president had sought re- fuge in the vicinity of Buffalo. | -- Rumors .of Speculation The bank carried deposits total- ling approximately $700,000, accord- ing to the last balance sheet submit- ted to the directors, who frankly ad- mit that the shortage of the bank will amount to several thousand dol- lars. On the other hand, many of the 'large depositors predict that when the financial position of ' the concern is straightened out, they will receive seventy-five cents on the dol- lar. The legal position of the bank, which has not formally made an as- signment, is somewhat peculiar. It was due to this occurrence that a writ was issued, attaching the prop- erties in Madoc of four directors for the purpose of protecting the inter- ests of the creditors, so that every- one will share alike when the finan- + clal stadiflg of the bank is establish- "od Speculating in stocks is the cause attributed by some of the sharehold- ers and depositors for the downfall of the-bank. According to a direc- tor the banking business and the credit of the bank was in splendid condition when it closed its doors.

It is customary in the toba best international practice to ap- the administration. in power for its views . instead of 3 member of a defeated government.

Ottawa, April 9.--"A raw cold deal for the farmers and the common peo- ple, with everything for _the inter ests," was the vigorous arraignment of the Borden-White budget by J. G.

"The manufacturers get everything, the rest of Canadians get nothing. and pay more,, However, I am not goin, to blame the premier or minister of finance. They were not elected under false colors. They are protectionists and servers of the corporations. : But the people are getting a serious les- son as to what it means to elect men' of that ilk to handleytheir public af- fairs." There is keen zest to this budget de- bate. Members on both sides feel strongly. Interruptions are frequent, and at times acrimonious. More than once Speaker Sproule has had to in- tervene for order. A climax was reached in the sharp and stinging re- partee, aceompanied by. momentary manifestations of disorder, which chars acterized the Saskatchewan liberals references to the departure of Sir Ly- man Melvin-Jones from the liberal party. 3 but Were Disappointed Harness Valued at $30 Taken -- Call Sent to the Police.
