Although passengers arriving by the

Late Friday afternoon the treasury
officials were advised from New York that
$780, 900 in gold had been withdrawn for
export, which left the gold reserve at the
close Of business SOL, 151, 96S. The
treasury officials were agreeably sur

uation. Indeed the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that the worst is over and that
there will be few If any more heavy ship
ments during the remainder of the season.

Wednesday. Mr.. Sullivan was a we'll

a social way throughout Kentucky. He
died from a gunshot wound Tuesday at
his farm near Elkton. The only founda-

probable suicide is the fact that hsshed

premiums in either case, but gave his
notes His friends claim that the reason
for his giving notes may have been to
prevent the contingency of creditors sub
jecting the policies to seizure on the
ground that the money used rightfully
belonged TO creditors. and that he desired
to keep the policies safe and provide for
his wife and children. to whom he was
