CRUEL SHOT AT MAUI.

there would bc no league or professional
clubs. While many OF the ballplay ycrs are
calloused to criticism every man in uniform
can stand praise with far better grace
than he can a bit OF adverse commentary
The former is accepted as matter of
course simply a tribute deserved-and
while there are very rev much-obIiged-

loud enough 10 wake the baby. One os
the hottest shots ever fired by a crank at a
ballplayer was aimed at AL Maui during

coacher's box.
There's n man with the wrong Uniform
on. His place is not on a ball field. but
at Fort Myer!''
Why" queried another fan, who was
puzzled over the crack.
Why" retorted the warm crank.
''BecauSe he is the greatest soldier in
America!"
And yet that same enthusiast would get
up on his toes and yell his palate into
streamers if the twirler he thus condemned
were to win a game. That's the way OF

because of the excitement and furry that

these went through the clearing house
The suspension was inevitable and was
fOreseen by the other banks ten days ago
The report telegraphed from Washington
about defalcation in connection with the
failure cannot be substaniiated. A rep
resentative OF the United Associated Presses
sent note to President Chaleron informing
him OF thesreport and asking that il bc ar

to Bank Examiner johnson and that gentle
man informed the reporter that he had

That's all l can say" said Mr. John
son.
From a gentleman who is close to tie
affairs OF the bank it is learned that while
the individual deposit book on the bank
showed that there was so much money in
hand, the general ledger shows that there
was eight times as much.
The vice president of the clearing house
association, Mr.. E. Toby. of the Canal hank,
says he has heard nothing of the reported
defalcatiou. The effect of the failure
on general business is rather depressing
and other failures may follow shortly.
