THE MANUFACTURERS BANK.
There is nothing definite to write concerning
he Manufacturers bank, which failed last week
President Conros assurance to the depositors on
the day of the failure that they would not lose a
cent is losing strength. He has given SO many
equvocal answers since that time that it is feared
there will be heavy loss. On Wednesday re-
porter said to Mr.. Como: ''What is the pros
pect now as to the depositors getting their
money! He replied: 81 don't know. Mr.
Candee can tell you ten times as we'll as can. -
But Cashier Candee is mum as, an oyster, and
anxious depositors are getting cold comfort

sequence their promises are away below par
1t is asserted by many that the bank will not pay
much above thirty per cent; but this is probably
low estimate. The GLOBE correspondent
knows of number of instances where the fail
ure will bring sadness if the receiver makes
poor showing. One of them is that of Mrs ohm
L. Dunn, widow of the contractor who was killed
by fall from the new Conro block, last Janu-
ary, who had her husbands life insurance, about
81, 600, in the bank. A poor printer has his all

had $4,000 in the bank, but luckily drew out
$4,000 the day before the failure. He is now

Ter Candee says, the bank will make no state
ment for publication, but will let the public
wait Tor the report of the receiver, which
may not be made for several weeks. 1t is noted
as a suspicious circumstance that when ex-City
treasurer Gellfuss, who is anxious to re-enter
chase the Manufacturers bank, the bank officers
would not negotiate, although for some time
they had expressed themselves as willing to sell
This Is accepted as evidence that the officers of
the bank knew they had nothing to sell; in
other words knew that the institution was hope

S75 600 capital for new bank which will soon

THE BASE BALL BUBBLE.
The Milwaukee base ball club started out Win
big intentions. There was no end of phenomenal
players engaged before the snow melted in the
spring, and big things were expected. They are
still expected, and are likely to be for all time
The club has received phenomenal drubbings all
around. 1t can't play ball, and its hackers are
sad. Somebody had to be blamed, so Manager
Mckee was asked to resign. He did not feel sad
about this request, as he had ssgilt-edged'' con-
tract to manage the club for 81, 500 for the sea-
son. He expressed willingness to step down
and out provided he should receive his salary in
full for the season. He got it, and is free man
with money enough to back him for the remain
der of the year. The management of the club
has been given to Tom Lotus, one of the field
ers, and it is now expected that Milwaukee will
make better showing. But managing is not
ball playing, and the usual run of defeat may be
looked for. Reforming club by removing its
manager is a good deal like building barrel
around a bung hole.
THE KERSHAW FAILURE,
The failure of G. j. KershaW & Co. was the
exciting event of the week at the chamber of
commerce. It was known for some time that
Kershaw had lost his grip on much of his wealth,
but failure was not looked for, 1t is believed
the Young wheat deal, which was closed in a
rapid and strategic manner without Kershaw
knowledge, had much to do with the collapse.
kershaw was playing ''taer'' to the Youngs,
and when the latter jumped from under the mar
ket with considerable loss he was left in the
lurch. The Bank of Montreal has deep financial
interest in Kershaw. An agent of the bank are
rived in this city Thursday and had conference
with the ''downed' speculator. Philip Kershaw,
son of G. j. Kershaw, says the bank is amply
secured, and that his father will pay dollar for
dollar and resume business. There is not much
sympathy floating about in the chamber of COM
merce-there was mol much for McGeoch when
he went down. Speculation ir a hard selfish
fight for No. 1, and when trouble comes sympa-
thy is not wasted on the victim Besides, Ker-
shaw is not a man who builds up friendship very
readily.
