THE MAVERICK BANK.
Controller Lacey In Boston-What He Sa,

Controller Lacey in Boston-what He Says
of the Prospects.
The affairs Of the Maverick bank are being
Strengthened out as fast as possible under the
circumstances. Matters cannot be completely
untangled until the receiver assumes his duties
and until loans, assets and claims are classified
and scheduled. ---.--
Thomas P. Beal has had his bond AZ receiver
approved by the court and has qualified. The
assets OF the bank cannot be handed over to
him by the examiner until an. inventory has
been made Of them by the examiner and Mr.
Beal's receipt taken therefor. This viii require
delay OF several days.
Controller Lacey, who arrived in Boston
Friday, after conference with the
clearing house committee. Examiner Ever,
President Beai anu the receiver, said: The
Maverick National Bank was closed BY nv
orders On Information from Mr.. Ever that The
oank was nsolvent, supported by the investi-
gatlon OF members OF the clearing house COM
mittee The report that six months ago ad-
vised bank president to withhold any report
on the Maverick bank in the hope that the
bank might recover is without foundation.
There is not shadow OF truth in the statement
that did The bank alluded to IN the report
concerning Secretary Foster as having be en- in
bad condition three or four months ago. and
which has since pulled through, is NOT a Boston
bank 1t was more than 100 miles from Bos-
ton As to reports from Washington that the
condition OF things in Boston are far from sat
isiactory have only this to say, that SO far as
know the only unsatisfactory thing ia the
failure OF the Maverick bank"

An Improbable Present.

After the Navy Department had recovered
tine paymaster'e safe and other valuables from
the wrecks of the American men-of-war lost in
the hurricane at Apia. Samoa, the wrecks them
selves were given to the Samoan government
The gift has proved to be white elephant to
King Maliatos, according to the information
received here. There were no appliances on
the islands to raise the wpeckage, so after many
inquiries a San Francisco firm was found which
undertook to recover the parts OF value on con-
dition that they were to be sold in San Fran
cisco and the proceeds divided equally between
the wreckers and the Samuans. Months were
spent in the work Of recovering the wreekage,
and it was finally made ready for shipment to
San Francisco. At this point. however. an OBJ
stacle was met Tho collector OF eastoms held
that the wreckage mus. pay duty aud the Treas
ury Department has sustained that opinion, on
the ground that although the wrecks were
those OF American vessels the deed of gift to
the Samoans made them foreign and therefore
dutiable property. As close computation
shows that the duty imposed would exceed the
sum which can be realized from the sale az the
wreckage. King Maliatoa is not particularly
grateful for the present made to his people by
the L. s. government = -.

Couldn't Cut a Salary After Election.

The case of State Attorney Korns of Red
field, s. d., against Sphinx county was de-
cided by Judge Campbell recently in favor Of
the plaintiff. The commissioners cut down
Korns' salary three days after he qualified and
he sued them for the amount OF previous sal
airy. Every point involved was decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The judge holds with
the states attorney that the law is constitu-
tional which provides that the salary cannot be
cut down after the term begins. The attorney
for the defense gave notice of an appeal to the
supreme court

LIGhtinR hallway Tracks.


1T is encouraging to note that the city au-
thorities are taking active steps to compel all
the railway companies having tracks running
into Chicago to properly light all grade cross
ings where the tracks intersect public thorough
fares. The existence of an ordinance which
gives the commissioner of public works power
to take such action has only recently been dis
covered. but the commissioner has lost no time
in calling the. companies to account when once
assured OF his legal rights in the matter.
Grade crossings are dangerous At any hour
OF the day, but they are trebly dangerous
at night. The frequent accidents at grade
crossings, almost invariably attended by loss of
life. are a scandalOus blot on railway 1,s,r,Re-
ment. and it is absolutely criminal to allow the
crossings to remain unlighted at night In
Justice to the railway companies operating
from Chicago it must be stated that several OF
them already have their crossings lighted by
are lights; the others appear to be willing to
promptly comply with the instructions or the
commissioner Of public works, and it is to be
hoped that before long not . single raiixay
crossing in or near Chicago will remain un-
lighted at night.

The Earthquake in japan.

Mr.. Iateno, the japanese minister, has re-
ceived a dispatch from his government giving
an account of the earthquake which occurred
in Japan on the 23th Of October. 1t seems from
this report that the damage caused by the
earthquake was confined almost entirely to the
procedures of Aichi and Gifu, the former of
which is OH the sea- about 10 miles from Toxic,
and the latter immediately to the west Nagoya
is the chief city in Aichi prefecture and has a
population of 10000 There are no very large
Of any damage i'll any other parts of Japan.
According to the telegram received by Mr..
Tateno 6, 900 persons were killed. 5000 were in
jured 5000 houses were totally destroyed and
l2,C00 were badly damaged.

A BAD CUTTING AFFRAY.
Richard Frazier May Die From Woun,
Given Him by "scrummaee" Lancastsr.

Richard Frazier May Die From Wounds
Given Him by "scrummage' Lancsstsr.
Saturday night William Lancaster, alias
''Scrummage," used a knife on a companion
named Richard, alias '.Pal' Frazier, and the
injury may yet prove fatal, although the victim
was alive this morning. Lancasters criminal
record is q long 90 and II he escapes u sen.
tence in this case il will not be because Of his
past good record. He has been arrested az
often as he has fingers and toes and has been
convicted Of almost every o6ense except the
one which inficts the death penalty, and he
narrowly escaped that at one time. That was
in 1887 when he killed Henry Williams. An in
dictment for murder was found against him,
but the jury reduced the offense to manslaugh-
ter and he got of with three years imprisou-
ment States prison evidently did him no good.
for he has since been arrested many times for
such ohenses as disorderly conduct, carrying q
pistol threats Of violence and cutting another
man, and in each instance the Police Court inn
posed heavy penalties, such a. go and $50
fines, besides giving him 364 days for a cutting
affair.
GAME OF CRAP.
Saturday night SO the police learned after
the deadly assault was committed, the men
met in pool room on 18th street northwest
between L and NJ streets and engaged in game

1t. The usual dispute arose between the play
ers and Frazier and Lancaster continued to
discuss the matter in an unfriendly manner
until it became evident that u fight was the
only thing that could settle the dispute, and
out they went to settle the difference according
to the code.
They had been out of the place but short
while when Frazier cried: I'm killed." and
Lancaster disappeared.
FRAZIER BADLY CUT
When assistance reached the injured man it
was found that he had been disembowled and
blood was streaming from the dangerous-look-
ing wound. From the vicinity Of the pool
room the injured man walked to his home in
Louise alley and nearly two hours after he had
received the injury Drs J. Ford Thompson and
q. w. Cook were at his side. They examined
the wound and expressed the belief that Fra
zier had been fatally injured. although they
operated upon him and sent him to Freed
mems Hospital While Frazier was ut his
home under treatment Lancaster called to in
quire whether he was dead or not, but he did
not tarry long,
LANCASTER ARRESTED. 81
When the police learned what had taken
place several officers went out in search of the
fugitive. but it was not until yesterday morn
Ing that Offers Green and McAndrews located
him at the house of his mother in street alley
and arrested him. When taken to the third
precinct station the prisoner remarked to Ser
geant Myers that he cut Frazier to take care Of
him. The prisoner was held Mt the station until
this morning, when he was taken to headquar-
tiers and measured. Later in the day he was
photographed and sent to Jail to await the re-
suit OF Frazier's injuries.
