Big BANK BOSSES BAGGED.
NEW YORK FlNANclERS CHARGED
WITH PERJURY AND FORGERY.

Some of the Directors and Bosses of the
tectives and Stem Magistrates More
Arrests To-day.
NEW YORK, Oct. "a -Four officers
and directors of the Madison Square
Bank, which failed last summer, were
arrested last night, one came
himself and offered bail, and the po-
lice were looking for three others,
Two of those arrested, Presi-
dent Joseph F. Blaut and Director Ronald
T. N. Mcdonald, are accused of felonies,
perjury and forgery respectively, and
is misdemesnor.
President Blaut's alleged perjury was
committed in swearing to a statement in
June last, that the directors of the bank
owed it only $167, 600. when they actually
owed it $275, 900 and that the bank
had an actual undivided surplus
McDonalds alleged forgery has to
do with note for $40 500. 73 that he
gave to the bank on June last as treas
urer Of the Fort Wayne Electric Com
pany, and which he, as alleged, felon-
iously endorsed "Not negotiable only in
accordance with contract under which
notes we're made"
The endorsement had reference to a
private contract made, as alleged, with
Blhnt that the stock of the electric
company, pledged as collateral for the
note in question and other similar notes
should not be disposed OF until the stock
stood at an absurdly high figure in th'
open market. Altering a note on which
money has already been raised Is forgery
in the second degree, punishable by ter
years imprisonment.

The wording Of the call The
Gazette did not clearly understand,
whether bids would be received
sealed OF opened, hence had pre-

in one in any manner that would be
determined upon. 1tbeing decided
that sealed bids only would be re-

there and then proposing to do the
work free of charge. The Adver-

and sealed and which contained
the proposition to do the work and
pay bonus of S1o for the privilege.
And the Polio Jury accepted the
bonus and awarded the contract to
the Advertiser.
This action OF the Polio Jury Is
conmendable, for 1t goes to show
that they mean to perform their du-

The Gazette is perfectly satisfied

annual commencement exercises
were held, and the usual premiums
or prizes were awarded to the sew
eral successful pupils, who had ex-
cclled in the different branches dur
ing the year. Grand Coteau Con-
vent is conducted by the "Sisters
of the Sacred Heart" which is es-
sentially an order of teachers, devot-
ing their every energy and whole
life to the training of the young, en-
trusted to their care. Their methods
are praiseworthy, and unique, as
young girls under their charge are
expected to a certain extent to COM
port to the rules by which they are
themselves governed. Their enter
or exercises are void of
all frivolous show. Theirs is a
school of long, tried, and established
and from it's doors the
most refined and accomplished
women of our state have came forth.
At the exercises just referred to Miss.
