CHICAGO, July 12.-Deputy United

he was given warrant for the arrest
of DR.. Collins White, of Minneapolis,

was Informed that the doctor was
in Chicago. and after three days
search Allen marched into the station

had been surgeon in the United
States army during the war and for

with palsy of age, and his eyes looked
troubled. He carried an ear trumpet.

CLINCHEs THE CASE.
The Clearing House Will Allow No
More Bank Failures.

The clearing house, through CON-
mittee, has received signed agreement
from the banks of Minneapolis to pay:a
pro rata sum into the clearing house
should it be needed for the protection of
any Minneapolis bank. This action is
equivalent to saying that there can be
no more bank suspensions in this city.
The improved tone of Eastern reports
induced the local bankers to take this
step, and shows that 4 turning point for
the better has been reached. All tire
banks, with one exception. the NicOllet
National, signed the clearing house
agreement, and while no further bank
trouble is anticipated, should any arrive
because of the timidity of depositors or
from any action of the depositorS as the
result of false reports, the clearing
house will respond promptly with as
sistance, W hich will nave tue effect at
once to quiet any disturbance of this
character. Local bankers say that the
situation fully warrants this step; that
the banks are all in good condition,
having large reserves on hand, and
that all are entitled to clearing house
support.
