CAMDEN, n. J., May 3.-The Fidelity

suspension Of this institution was expected
when the announcement Of the failure Of
the Gloucester City National bank was
made The concerns were very closely al.
lied Charles r. Work was president of
both, and Charles G. McNaughton was a
director in both institutions. Cashier sam
uel w Stokes, Of the Gloucester bank, was

Ir7l WINK OF CONGRESS.
The international Copyright Bin Defeated
Ia the House.


WASHINGTON, May g. The house had a
lively fight over the international copyright
bill. After n short speech by Mr. Carlisle
favoring the bill Mr. payson Nlls.) said
that this country was being made barn
yard and cesspool for literature that ought
to be condemned. Mr. Simonds defended
the bill as q conscrvator of a great natural
right-the right to own what a man had
created
MIR. Lodge said he hoped with his whole
heart that the bill would pass. Mr. Covert
tN 2) defended the bill, and Messrs. Far
quhar and Butterworth spoke in praise OF
the measure
Mr.. Lodge said the argument Of the OPP
position was that the bin was going to
make literature dearer to the American
public II would do nothing Of the kind.
France had had an international copyright
for years. and series Of books were issued
there for five cents and even two cents q
number, and those books the best literature
Of France; not the offscouring Of the liter
ary cutters Of other countries II was the
same with Germany The effect Of this law
would be to substitute for the works Of
France the works Of American authors.
Mr.. Mills TEX thought the bill would in
crease the price of the foreign authors book
and stop the wheels of civilization by max
ing literature expensive Mr. Peters tKan
said that congress had no right 10 enact a
law that would not bring the greatest good
/ 70 the greatest number, and the proposed
law would not stand this test Mr. Breck-
inridge (ky.1 wanted to know If the same
logic would not Justify law that would
take from Jay Gould his millions.
Mr., Peters replied that his argument
would prevent such an accumulation Of
wealth. lie said that the proposed law
would ruin the industry Of patent insides'
and spoil the cheap daily reading Of the
| people.
Mr. Hopkins oils said that the ostensi.
BILE purpose Of the bill was TO extend the
rights Of American authors 20 foreign au-
thors, but the measure would crente a
gigantic publishing monopoly, which
would raise the price Of every book and
periodical printed in this country, and
would impose tax ON every reader OF
books, from the boy with his primer TO the
college professor with his scientific work
| Congress could not afford TO tax every
American reader for the benefit Of the for.
egn author Foreign authors were paid
enough in their own country without in.
vading American soil and taxing the
American reader.
When the yeas and nays were called th,
bill was defeated by vote Of 1906 70 30
Mr. Breckenridge moved TO reconsider th,
vote, aud il will come up today.

the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time number is drawn, which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch, similar TO the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment OF
that number cease. The remaining members
Qess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members

Assaulted A Girl.

A sensation was caused IN Sprague few
days since by the arrest of Warren Witcher,
a prominent stockholder. for a criminal
assault upon young girl named Amy
Esterbrook, aged Is years. The Walla
Walla Statesman gives the following partIc-
ular: 1t seems that Miss Esterbrook got iu-
to buggy with Mr.. Witcher at her fathers
place for the purpose of going into the city,
she being employed by the family as com.
panlon for the children, and that when
within short distance of the city, Witcher
made indecent proposals to the girl, which
she resented. Jumping from the buggy, she
started to run. Witcber also got ont of the
buggy and followed her, and upon over
taking her threw her to the ground.
Arthur James, who claims to have caught
him in the act, tells the following story: 81
was coming into town this morning In COM
rany with another man, in wagon, and
when within mile and half we saw per-
sons struggling on the ground by the road
side. I thought they were fighting, and re-
marked to my companion that two men
were fighting, and that we would wait and
see which came out best. A moment later
one of them started to run, and the other,
who, much to my surprise, proved to be
woman, struggled to her feet as if in a
dazed condition. Taking in the situation at
once, we both rushed toward her, and as
soon as we got within speaking distance
asked: "Amy, what is the matterY"
.'She replied with shrek: That man;
keep him away"
Witcher was arrested and is in Jail at
Sprague awaiting examination. He has
many friends who think he has done moth
lug criminal, and that he viii come out all
right.
