INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE Bank of
Commerce this afternoon suspended business
as result of the meeting of the board of
directors last night. The directors decided
that there was no money in the business as
the bank had been doing it and no more de-
posits will be received.

evening: I'VE have simply suspended bust
ness for the present. We have deposited a
sufficient sum of money with the Indiana
National bank to pay all of our depositors
and no one will lose a cent. The reason we
suspended is because of litigation that is now
pending and we did not want to do anything
that would in any way endanger our de-
postors." Cashier Bosson said that he could
not state whether the bank would resume
business when the litigation was ended.
The litigation referred to is a claim for
about $4,000 allowed to the knights and

MEXILO'S NEW MlNTlNG LAW.
Considered to BE Fair In the Extreme to
Mine Owners

WASHINGTON. June 11.-Mr. c. L. Tomp-
kinson, an American resident OF Mexico, who
is interested in mining there, and who is
temporarily in this city, in explaining the
new regulation concerning the taxation of
mines in that country, said today that 1t
grew out of the fact that the Mexican gov
ernment had recently decided to resume
control Of the mints. 1t appears that the
mints have for the past several years been
leased to private individuals, who, while they
have charged mintage tax, have put 1t on
a somewhat different basis from that pro-
posed by the government, The charge for
minting gold and silver has been almost
Az per cent, while the government has col
lected in addition tax of 81 of l per
cent, making in all tax Of over 5 per cent
to be paid by Mexican mine owners having
their ores coined into money in Mexico, while
those who sent their products to smelters
either in Mexico or the United States, escaped
payment of the bulk of the tax. The gov
ernment upon resuming control of the mints
on the 1st of July next proposes to impose
a tax of per cent on thf gold and silver
contained in the ore mined In the country

NEW YORK, June 11.-Gustav II. Schwab
chairman of the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, who was interviewed
ON the currency situation in the south, said
the Memphis convention had had a wonderful
influence in clearing the minds OF the south
ern people on the money question and this
result was especially noticeable in Kentucky.
He said: In all the southern states the
sound money sentiment has been aroused.
Mississippi, in which an important conven-
tion will be held in a short time, is being
thoroughly canvassed by that indefatigable
champion OF sound money, Colonel Patterson.
In Alabama there is similar sentiment in
favor Of sound money. which is led on by
leading citizens OF Mobile, Birmingham and
other ccnters. In Tennessee the fact that
the Nashville American has come out as the
champion of sound money shows how the
tide is running in Senator Harris bailiwick.
The outlook in Georgia and the other south
