BANK SITUA1I0N
REGAINS SERENITY
PROGRESSIVE WORK GOING ON
AFTER FLURRY CAUSED
BY ROBIN'S OPERATIONS
SISTER IS ARRESTED.
New York, Jan. 9.—Aside from pro-
gressire work of reorganlaztlon and
reconstruction in affected institutions
which will necessarily extend over the
week, New York's banking situation Is
normal tonight, timid depositors are
reassured, the stock market is optimis-
tic and Joseph CI. Ilobin, whose opera-
tions caused the flurry, remains In
the Tombs.
With powerful financial interests
behind the Twelfth Ward bank and the
Nineteenth Ward bank, and u1t h the
absorption of the Madison Trust com-
pany by the Equitable Trust company,
these institutions whose integrity had
been questioned because of alleged af-
filiations with the Carnegie Trust com-
pany, closed aa a result of Robin's op-
erations, weathered the day .most suc-
cessfully, but with such aggressiveness
that there were no runs and almost
normal deposits. Last night's consul
tatlon between financiers had laid a
strong groundwork which proved ade-
quate to avert any serious compllca
tlons.
Another member of the Robin family
entered the Tombs today. Dr. Louise
Habinovitch. sister of Robin, was in-
dicted for perjury, and remanded In
default of $3,000 ball. She had sworn
In an efTort to have Robin committed
to an asylum and his estate taken over
by a committee, that she and her
brother Edward, known as Edward
Robinson, were his only heirs at law
Hut Investigation disclosed on aged
couple which the prosecution contends
are the parents. On this discovery the
indictment Is based.
There was enacted as the rrand Jury
filed forth with the indictment against
Dr. Rabinovitch a scene equal In dra-
matic values to the recent repudiation
of the old pair by Robin.
Both old persons had been witnesses
before the Jury, aa had the alleged
sen, Edward Robinson. When they
met face to face in the court room, the
elderly woman attempted to throw her
arms around Robinson's neck, but he
drew back and repulsed her.
Reared by Them.
"Is that your father and mother?"
Robinson was asked.
"I am not sure," replied Robinson.
"I know these people and have known
them for several years. We came to
this country with them, and as a
youngster 1 always thought they were
my parents. But of late something
has happened which leads my brother
and myself to believe that they arc
not our parents. I have the evidence
which proves It."
"Have you seen them lately!" was
th« next question put to Robinson.

direct obligation of $100,000 imposed
upon tho people by the act. J. H.

of tho case, going over all the points

Enid, Okla., Jan. 9.—-Ralph Roberts,
who was appointed clerk of the su

j gust, when court was created, this
j morning refused to give up his office
; to Ceorge Kennedy, who was elected
at the November election. Roberts

j The complete fire record for the past
year has been compiled by Fire Chief
! Kesler and shows that 486 alarms were
; turned in during the year, against 447
lor 1909. The loss on the contents of
o buildings figures $27,630, the
amount of insurance being $225,075.
The amount of insurance on the build-
ings in which there were fires was
$419,205, and the amount of loss sus-
tained $85,117. This does not include
the Carroll, Brough & Robinson fire,
the loss at which is estimated at $50,-
000.
In the statistics compiled are some
interesting facts regarding the causes
of tho various fires. It is shown that
the burning of rubbish was the lead-
ing cause with 65 alarms. Careless
ness is put down as the next, with 56
alarms. Gasoline was the cause of 42,
gas 30, burning grass 45, while 14 are
believed to have been of incendiary
origin. Boys and matches aro to blame
for 27, and spontaneous combustion
for 5. The balance are put down as
arising from unknown and miscellan-
eous origin. There were 21 false
alarms. Of the 294 calls by telephone
61 were to wrong addresses.
During the year the firemen in act-
ual duty served 175 hours and 40 min-
utes, used 201 streams of water, 4.815
gallons of chemicals, the water was
usued 91 hours and 92,520 feet of hose
was used. The apparatus traveled
22,827 city blocks, which is equivalent
to 1,884 miles.
Judging from the start, this year's
record will exceed that of last year,
as 17 alarms have been turned In so
far this month, with an estimated
damage of a little over $125,000.
