that number Of most important lead ers
OF the party in the Senate and House have
made strong representations to him Of
the iDodvisability of sending "a message TO
Congress while the tariff bill is in .con-
ference.

WANT FARWELL.
Dep0sit0rs In ClaremOnt Bank
Clamoring For Him.
Have Asked the Police To Extradite
Him on Criminal Process.

Claremont July S.-Anotber general
clamor for j. l.. Farwell. president of
the Claremont Savings Bank has arisen
among tfe residents of this vicinity whose
money was placed In the bank and who
have been patiently waiting for some sort
of an announcement from the receivers.
This has not come and the only informa-
.ion concerning the situation is given by
Mr. Faulkner of keene, one of the re-
ceivers, who says the bank is In as bad "a
condition as n bank could possibly be, and
he cannot even make q hopeful prediction
concerning any payment to be made to
the depositors. Consequently the demand
for the return of Farwell is general as
almost every family in some way has
money in the bank and dcpositors are
suffering from their inability To get any
return bv dividend or otherwise.
There are some who are urging the
authorities TO take steps TO send for Far
well by legal processes, but the officials do
not seem inclined TO do So saying that it
would not be worth while 90 do it, on
account OF the cost. The Claremont
National Bank in which the Farwells
were heavy owners, has cancelled. within
the last few months, S3S 600 OF the $50, 000
surplus which IL reported some time ago.
This reduces the nominal surplus to
S22. 600 on the capital of $50, 600. Receiver
Faulkner is being urged To take summary
measures 10 realize on the savings bank
assets and divide the proceeds among the
deDosltOrs.
