Some of the Methods of the Madison Square Bank. ITS CLEARING HOUSE AGENT Left $150,000 in the Hole-How the State and East River Bridge Company Were Saved from Loss-More Arrests Probable. New YORK, Oct. 27.-The collapse of the Madison Square bank left theSt. Nicholas bank, its clearing agent, a creditor to the extent of $150,000. The Madison Square bank was supposed to keep with the St. Nicholas a deposit, in cash or its equivalent, large enough to meet all demands. Ordinarily a sufficient deposit remained there, but when, the Madison Square bank being on the verge of failure, State Treasurer Danforth ran through the clearing house a check for the state's money, $250,000, and Frederick Uhlmann succeeded in withdrawing $50,000 for the East River bridge company, the regular fund at the St. Nicholas gave out. That was the time when the clearing house committee, on the complaint of the St. Nicholas bank, went to the Madison Square bank and took from the vault securities to the amount of $315,000. These securities had been seized solely with the view of protecting the St. Nicholas bank and upon the theory that it was entirely proper for the clearing house committee to take such action. When the temporary receivers took possession of the Madison Square bank they were unwilling to recog. nize the right of the clearing house committee to these securities and filed a protest against their retention in the clearing house. The matter was well fought out at various conterences between t e receivers and the clearing house, and the clearing house having been led to believe that the seizure had not been made strictly within the law returned the securities to the Madison Square bank. There is no doubt that the bank will collect this debt, because if it cannot be paid out of assets the stockholders of the Madison Square will be liable to assessment for it. More Arrests Probable. District Attorney Nicoll held a consult~ tion with Attorney Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for Receivers Miles O'Brien and J. M. Cannon, of the Madison Square bank, this morning, and it is rumored that, as a result of his consultation, other arrests will follow. The rumor is to the effect that not only were the officers of the bank reckless with the money of that institution, but that several outsiders, who were on the ground floor, were dishonest in their dealings with the bank. Assistant District Attorney Davis, who has charge of the case, says that as yet he has hardly had time to investigate the new chargès, but he will not deny the rumore,

SEVERAL SUITS PROMISED. THE ST. NICHOLAS BANK THREATENS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST THE RECEIVERS OF THE MADISON SQUARE INSTITUTON, WHO RETALIATE IN LIKE MANNER. Suits and counter-suits now are promised by the officials of the St. Nicholas Bank and the receivers of the Madison Square Bank against each other. The officials of the St. Nicholas Bank are responsible for the statement that a suit would be brought against the receivers to recover $501,000 due the bank. The receivers declare that the St. Nicholas Bank has no such claim against them as receivers for the Madison Square Bank, and they threaten to bring a suit to recover from the St. Nicholas Bank some $221,000, said to be due the receivers. The St. Nicholas Bank was the Clearing House agent of the Madison Square Bank, and as such held good securities, valued at $350,000, to cover any possible loss which it might sustain as the agent of the Madison Square Bank. The receivers say that the St. Nicholas Bank is entitled only to $129,000 of the $350,000 collateral held by it, and will sue for the difference-$221,000 The St. Nicholas Bank people declare that it cleared for the Madison Square Bank, the day following its suspension, checks amounting to $501,000. The threat is made that the securities now held by It will be sold. and the proceeds devoted to the payment of this account. The bank does this under one of the rules of the Clearing House. The receivers, on the other hand, say that the Clearing House rules are not law, and will contest any attempt to dispose of the securities held by the St. Nicholas Bank for the account of the Madison Square Bank.
