The question, he said had been carefully

BANK DIRECTORS OUSTED.
Charges Against Several of
Merced's Defunct Banking
Institution.
Criminal Complaints to Be Filed Shortly.
An Old State Law to Be Enforced
for the First Time.

Information was received yesterday by
Acknowledgement Fitzgerald that the Su-
perior Court of MERGED County had re-
moved the directors of the MERGED Bank,
in liquidation, from office. Several days
ago the Bank Commissioners petltloned
the ey-General to begin proceed
ings to Gust the directors from their posi-
tons. The Attorney-General at once
complied and began proceedings under
he law which states as follows:
And if shall appear to the court at
eh hearing or at any time during the hqui-
ion hereinafter provided Tor, on the Peu-
of one or more of the Bank Commission
s, or any other interested party, that any OF
ne directors or trustees or ofheers OF salu COT
pOration have been guilty of fraud, NAL
version or criminal carelessness or neg
hgence, and that any OF them are not the
closing OF the affairs and business OF
such corporation in the interest OF the
depositors, creditors and stockholders tnereoI,
the said court shall cause to be issued In SAID
action and served upon said directors, or trus-
tees, or officers, or any OF them, an order 10
show cause why they, or any OF them, shoulQ
not be removed from office, which order snail
briefly recite the grounds of the application
and shall be returnable at time fixed by the
court; and If on hearing the court shall ind
That such directors, or trustees, or ofncers, or
any OF them, ought to be removed from office,
it shall enter its order OF removal accordingly
which order shall be final in the premises.
L ne complaint OF the BANK OOnHlsSlOu-
ers recited all of the grounds mentioned in
the Neutrality-suspicious. of the affairs of
the bank, fraud, criminal carelessness and
negligence, and that they were not the
proper persons to attend TO the closing OF
the banks business. Commiss' oner Full
Ter went to MERGED and testified as to the
reasons for desiring their removal.
1t seems that the directors had ample
time and opportunity to avoid being Off
cially removed. Some time ago they were
requested by the Bank Commissioners and
other interested parties to resign, and they
promised to do so. However, they chung
to their positions until removed by an or
der of court, from which there is no ap-
peal.
Another section of the law above quoted
prescribes punishment, by fine and i'm
prisonment, for offenses of the class men,
toned. At the office of the Attorney
General it was learned that several of the
deposed bank directors will soon be called
upon to face criminal complaints.
This is the first time in this State that
the law for removal of bank directors has
been called into effect.

THE FLOATING COMMITTEE.
How 1t Boards the Deep-Sea Vessels
and Cheers the Men.


The tug Lillian and Marion, the prop
erty of Mrs. E. Thorold, carried thirty-fve
earnest, honest young Christians out to
the sailing vessel Elginshire last evening,
when devotional exercises were held amid
ships, in the shadow of the masts and the
light of the stars.
The floating committee it was that paid
this visit to the sailors, who are i'm
patiently awaiting an opportunity to come
ashore. 1t is the tangible result of a plan
that originated in the brain of Miss An
toinette Jones, a resident of New England
three years ago. The Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor indorsed
and carried into operation that plan, and
to-day in most of the large seaports os the
world floating committees are following
this work among the sailors.
The Golden Gate Christian Endeavor
Union is interested in the visits to the
deep-sea vessels before they reach the
dock and committee representing six
teen evangelical churches works under its
direction. The officers of the committee
are H. F. Eden, chairman; Thomas Brady,
vice-president; Miss Lydia Hamilton,
secretary; George E. Duncan Jr., CORE
spending secretary; Mrs. H. Gingles,
treasurer.
The young people make weekly visits to
the sailing vessels. Every Saturday even
ing they board some vessel lying at anchor
and hold short religious service inter-
spersed with vocal music accompanied on
portable organ, the gift of a prominent
firm of the City.
Last evening three sailors addressed the
audience of seamen. They talked simply
but forcibly of the beauties of higher
life and the dangers that beset the sailor
when ashore.
The audience listened respectfully and
seemed to enjoy the music and the half
hour of conversation that followed the
meeting. When the visiting party left
the vessel and the little tug had begun its
labored putting the sound was drowned by
chorus of cheers from the whilom hosts,
each of whom had received an invitation to
attend some church in the City on his first
Sunday ashore.
The Golden Gate Endeavor Union ex-
poets to purchase launch, after which
the meetings aboard ship will be held
every evening, instead of on Saturday, as
at present. The amount required for such
purchase is $500, one-third of which has
been secured.

TWO YOUTHFUL BURGLARS.
They Looted House on Two Occasions
But Are Finally Captured.

They Looted House on Two Occasions
But Are Finally Captured.
At the instance of F. G. Burgess, who
resides at 1881 Vallejo street, two brothers,
William Heine and Otto Reine, the for
mer Is and the latter Is years of age, were
arrested last evening by Policeman V. N.
Bakulich and detained at the California
street Police Station on charge of bur-
glary.
Burgess home had been entered and
looted at three different times during the
past few months, and he determined to
keep lookout, and if possible, catch the
oureiars if they made another attempt to
enter his house. Last evening his patience
was rewarded, as he discovered the two
boys, who are now under arrest leaving
his premises with considerable plumber.
He apprehended the youthful law break
ers and then informed the police officer,
who placed them under arrest.
Upon being questioned by Station-keeper
bolan the boys acknowledged entering the
house several weeks ago and carrying off
several packages of chocolate. They claim
that last evening was the first time they
had forced an entrance to the house, as
they found the door open on the occasion
OF the preceding burglary.
The boys live with their parents at ILL
Vallejo street.

A Free-Coinage Catechism.
New York Post).

The purpose of this series of questions
and answers is to put, in simple form,
the problems raised by the free coinage
controversy, with plain answer to each.
All statistical facts given are transcribed
from official publications, and list of
all authorities used is published at the
end of the catechism.
@. What Is the fundamental claim of
the free coinage advocates? A. They
claim that the amount of money in or
ulation has been decreasing since the
characterization of silver, and that this
decrea se has caused a general fall in
prices.
@. Is it true that the money supply
has been deoreasing9 A. 1t is not.
@. What are the facts? A. So far as
the United States is concerned there has
been an enormous increase. In 1860 the
money in circulation in this country
was $442, 1902, AT; in 1879 1t was $73S, 300. :
$40; by the Treasury bulletin at the
opening of the present month, it was
81, 5s1, 5S4, ssa.
@. What does this show? A. 1t shows
that our money suIply increased $40
per cent. as compared with 1860, and
106 percent rs compared with 1872.
@. Has the money supply increased
faster than the population? A. Very
much faster. ga
@. How do you prove this? A. BY
dividing the total money in circulation
at each date by the total population of
the country at the same date, and thus
finding the circulation per capita.
@. What does such process show2 A.
The per capita circulation of the United
States on July 1. 1860. was $14O6; on
July l, 1872 it was SIS. 70; at the opening
$21. 35.
@. But has not the money supply of
the world at large been decreasing2 A.
On the contrary, it has been increasing
rapidly.
@. How is this provedp A. By the
statistics of new gold production.
Q How large has this production
been? A. 1.-The reports of the Director OF
the Mint, which are acknowledged au-
thority, show that from 1873 to 1894 in
elusive the worlds total new gold FRO
duotion has been So, 526, S34, 900.
=. Is this new product of gold increas-
ing or decreasing? A. 1t is increasing
with enormous rapidity.
Q. Give the figures. A. In 1878 the
worlds gold production was 500, 200, 0oO
In 1880 il WAS $1O6, 436, 800. In the wear
1890 it was$ 118, $40, 600. In 1894 it was

mated at $199, 800, 600.

The place to make.the tariff the main
issue is in the states beyond the Missouri
such as Colorado, Montana, Utah and
Washington. 1t was on account of the
persistency of the Republican Senators
from those states in suhordtnating the
tariff TO free silver that the Dineley
bill which would have provided suffi
oient revenue and pushed protection
up notch or two was defeated. Until
the Senators from those state can be con-
WINGED that the tariff is of first impor-
tance and free silver second there ia no
prospect that the present tariff law can
be changed, no matter how many electoral
votes the Republicans carry at the next
election OF how many mem bers of the
House of Representatives they elect. The
only place to do effective work for the
tariff is in these states. Let the Repu bli
cans OF these states be convinced that the
tariff is more important than silver and
when the next Congress meets they will
constrain their Senators to vote for a
protective tariff bill without free silver
rider. A campaign carried on ON tbs
tariff issue in the east and the central
west, no matter how successful, would
have little or no effect to change the
