ALL QUIET AT BRUNSWICK.
The Deposits for the Day Far Ahead
OF The Withdrawals.

The Belief Growing That the Deposit
ors of the Two Banks viii Be Paid
in Full-President Ullman's Remains
Taken to Albany and Inferred.
President Myers of the Savannah
National Makes a Statement.
Brunswick, Ga, May 19.-Brunswicll' s
state banks, Notwithstanding the excite
ment attendant upon the suspension of
the two national banks, received yester-
day and to-day aggregate deposits Of
100000, depositors checking out but 10000.
Everybody is quiet and hope is enter
tanned that the national banks will be
able to resume.
The body of Max Ullman, president of
the Oglethorpe National Bank, who COM
mitted suicide yesterday, was carried to
Albany to-day for burial. At 10 o'clock a
large body of friends of the deceased and
family Congregated at the home and fol-
lowed the hearse to the special train
awaiting them. The board of trade,
Knights of Pythias, MasOns and other
orders acted as an escort. The procession
was of great length. Delegations from
all the orders left on the train, which was
composed of four coaches.
The financial situation to-day is quiet.
No other failures have been reported and
the people seem to be resting easy.
Bank officials and attorneys from all
over the state are here to look after their
interests in the suspended banks
Herman Myers, president of the Savan-
nah National Bank, emphatically denies
the rumor that he wired President Ull-
man that he would not ship more money,
which telegram was reported to have pre-
cipitated the suicide. Mr.. Myers stated
that Mr.. Ullman did receive a telegram,
but it was from one of his own directors
containing a refusal to sign the bond Sc
curing the county treasurer.
The feeling of hope increases, and it is
now confidently believed that all deposit
ors of both banks will be paid in full.

was very large one, showing high TO

president, who for years was a citizen o.
this city.
A gentleman of Brunswick, who was
one of the eseortsto- this city, told the
MORNING NEWS correspondent that the
suicide of Mr.. Ullman, and the complica
tiOns of the two banks with which he was
connected had simply demoralized tho
town, and that real estate had already
suffered tremendous decline. He said
that the people of Brunswick were as
much mysti1icd over the real cause of Mr.
Ullman's suicide as were the people else
where.

A Number of Interesting Papers Read
To Meet at Asbury Park Next Year.

Chicago, May 49, - The National
Editorial Association to-day decided to
hold its next annual meeting at Asbury
Park, n. j.
The first thing on to-days programme
was paper by Ewing Herbert of Kansas,
on "The chief end of u newspaper" in
which Mr.. Herbert related the various
replies he had received from experienced
journalists to his query. These ranged
from Bankruptcy to "Create patriot
ism and glorify man as religion glorifies

Col. ID. r. Anthony of Lcavenworth
was called on for remarks on the same

QJoseph NJ Chappie of Ashland. Wis,
read u paper on Newspaper anuuals,''
and w. II. Pabor of Florida read the

think"
The committee on credentials then made
a preliminary report establishing the pos
sibility of roll call.
Other committees reported, and then
it was in order to vote for the next annual
meeting place. A motion to postpone this
matter until the election of new officers
was lost. BY calling the roll, out of a
total vote of 266, Asbury Park received
1908, Florida S39$ and Asheville, N. c.,

A STEAL IN A POSTOFFICE.
The Postmaster Left in The LuTCh

$1,000 of the Governments Funds
and Fled-An Inspector Investigate
Jug the oRoe When the Assistant
Took His Sudden Departure.
Atlanta, Ga, May 19.-Postofflce In
spector Baird, who has been at work on
the embezzlemcnt in the LAGRANGE post
Office, returned to Atlanta to-day and
gives an interesting and full account Of
that sensational case. Miss Stella Laird
was appointed postmaster at LAGRANGE
three years ago and has performed the
duties Of the Office to the entire satisfac-
tion Of that community. Her father, A.
J. Laird, has been acting as assistant
postmaster, and now the unnatural
spectacle of "a father stealing in his
daughoer's name is presented. On May
Inspector Baird went to LAGRANGE to in-
spect the Office there on complaint of a
citizen whose suspicion had been aroused.
1t was not long before he discovered that
things had not been going right. The
deeper he dived the deeper the situation
appeared. When the inspector was COM
pleting his work and preparing TO arrest
the assistant postmaster Laird left town
without his baggage or a change of cloth
ing and has not been seen or heard of
since. The books in the office show a
shortage in the money order and stamp
departments OF 81 300, and besides this a
lotof blank money orders and corresponds
ing advices have been stolen, with batch
of postal notes, and it Is sup
posed that Laird has filled
them out for such amounts as his needs
require, and is having them cashed at
various offices.
THE DAUGHTER INNOCENT.
The fact that Laird has fed seems to
| leave no doubt as to his complete guilt
| and the innocence of his daughter the
! postmaster. She has not been arrested.
! The government will not lose anything,
| as Miss Laird's bondsmen will be COM
| PEELED TO make good the shortage of her
| embe2zling father Her bondsmen are
| among some Of the best people Of Mont
| gomery, Ala, and are relatives of her
| mother, who is now deserted and left
| with a family of three children.
| When the inspector first discovered
| the embezzlement he was at
| a loss 20 know which of the two was the
| guilty one, but as the old man had as
| sumed full control of the Office by force Of
arms, as it were, the inspector was almost
sure Of his guilt. While he was deciding
the matter and footing up the amount Of
| the shortage Laird caught on, !" saw his
opportunity and left for parts unknown.
4 The matter has been kept secret TO enable
the authorities TO run down and arrest
the embezzler. Laird is described as
being As or 46 years old, 8 feetS or 8 inches
high, of dark complexion, with heavy
black hair, slightly streaked with gray,
and black mustache. He is near-sightcd
| and wears gold-rimmed spectacles.

tonight at which it was decided to close

Theodore Thomas has not rendered his
resignation as musical director of the fair.
He did not appear on the grounds to-day
and is said to be suffering with nervous
prostration as a result of the worry over
the row on his account among the mem
bers of the national commission
There was the usual crash at the doors
of the art palace this morning and many
of the halls were so oVercrOwded, oven in

AN ARM1sT1cE IN NICARAGUA.
The Government and the Revolution
lists Have Stopped Fighting.

Washington, May 19.-According to in
formation received here the Nicaragua
revolution has taken an unexpected turn.
Unofficial advices have been received at
the state department that an agreement
for an armistice has been reached by the
government and revolutionary factions in
Nicaragua. No further information than
this is obtainable at the department.
The source of the news is CON
cealed, beyond the fact that it did
not come direct to Secretary Gresham
from Nicaragua. Evidently, however,
the source is one entitled to credit, as the
news is accepted as authentic at the de-
part,neut. The absence of direct advices
from Nicaragua are regarded as almost
unexplainable 1t is expected that the
cruiser Atlanta viii reach Greytown in a
dav or two and the Alliance will probably
be a few days later in reaching the west
coast of Nicaragua, where most Of the
Bghtfug has taken place..
