Salvini, who is now playing an engage
ment IN this city, says that the sensational
stories from the east regarding pur-
ported assault by him upon Louise Starr,
a member of his company, are outrage
ously false. Miss Starr sued him to re-
cover $40 600 damages for personal IN
juries inflicted by a wine glass, which,
she charged, SaIvini threw IN her face
with intent to injure her. The suit was
dismissed on the ground that the com
plainant, who brought the action in her
own person, is minor.
Salvini believes. however, that new
complaint viii be fled He says the
throwing of the wine glass is part Of
The Three Guardsmen," but that the
breaking of the glass and cutting Of
Miss STAIRS face was purely accidental
Salvini gave her $50 as a douceur and re-
ceived her receipt in full for all claims

mercial Bank of Newfoundland. having
its headquarters in this city, suspended
payment this morning owing to the fail
ure of several of the largest fish
exporting houses to respond to their liza
bilities to the bank. This has involved
other banks and has crippled some of the
largest concerns here. Four of them
have closed their premises and others
will close tomorrow.
The small depositors are demanding
gold from the union and savings banks,
and the gold reserve is being steadily
drained. If they are able to meet the
run everything is safe. But the chief
danger is the difficulty in getting more
gold into the country.
At present the people are very peace
ful and seem unable to appreciate the
gravity of the situation. Business men
of all classes are trying to effect arrange
ments with the London bankers, or with
Canadian concerns. which will be urged
to extend business to this center.
