New YORK. Dec. 2l.-The following
notice was this morning posteed on the

after the posting of the notice, said:
"This is a high-handed proceeding. l

house agent for the suspended Madison

amined the books of the bank and found
that the capital WAS largely impaired. Ac-
cordingly he decided to close the bank,
pending a further inquiry. 1t is believed
that the assets are sufficient TO pay the

A Fight Between City Authorities-Lo-

RIVERSIDE, July 19.-The Enterprise of this
morning has the following to say editorially on
the fight between the city attorney and police.
which Is being Investigated with closed doors
this afternoon: The city trustees have at last
walked up to the knowledge that the admins
tration OF justice as regards criminal cases In
Riverside, is practically at standstill, owing
to the fact that the city's legal representative
and the police authorities are at loggerheads
To anyone who has watched the manner IN
which criminal matters in the recorders court
and especially the recent Chinese gam bling
plain that something was radically wrong II
Is well that the matter ts to be looked into II
the city attorney is NJ fault, the remedy Is obvi-
Gus and easy. II the blame belongs elsewhere
The proposition, however, to make the In
quiry species OF star chamber investigation
will hardly meet with favor. The taxpayers OF
Riverside, whose servants all city officials are,
have a right to know just how each man has
performed his duty. and will be satisfied with
nothing less Why should there be conceal
ment? Have the police or the recorder or the
city attorney any desire that matters which
have b en- public talk should be privately
proved? We think not, and we know the tax
nayers will not tolerate any such Suspicious
methods. Let US have the facts. no matter
