LEGHORN CLUB.
Movement on Foot to Exhibit Cali
fOrnia Fowls in the East.

George H Croley, Secretary of the
Pacific Coast Leghorn Club, writes to
the Record Union that an enthusi-
astic informal meeting of the club was
held ait its headquarters in San Fran
cisco on Saturday evening. The mem
bers present were greatly pleased at
the remarkable growth of the club. It
is fully expected that before the next
monthly meeting fully 100 members will
be on the roll.
The President, Charles D. Pierce of
Oakland, in his address called the at
tention of the members to a statement
in the American Poultry Journal
made by L X Felch, the oldest and
most renowned judge in the United
States, to the effect that California
breeders to-day produce the finest
specimens of Leghorns in the world.
Heretofore no concerted effort has
been made to send a large exhibit of
California's finest fowls to compete at
the great winter shows in the Eastern
States and England, but if satisfactory
arrangements can be made for their
transportation it is quite probable that
next winter several hundred of our
choicest birds will be sent Eastward
to strive for the gold medals and blue
ribbons

Court

It is worthy of note that yesterday
morning but two offenders were ar
raigned before Justice Davis in the Po-
lice Court. A full dock is the usual
programme for Monday, but yesterday
was the exception.
One of the cases was that of a man
who had imbibed too freely, and he
was allowed to go, after listening to the
usual exhortation.
The other case was that of Andy Mil
Ter, the young colored man who slashed
a little negro across the mouth with

simple assault to which he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to serve

the general banking situation, said: OF
course, bank failures are more OF less
disQuieting, but those which have oc-
CURED have little or no general signi6-
canoe attached TO them. They were due
largely to local causes, wholly uncon-
neofed with the general condition OF tho
banks throughout the country Mt large.
The case of the Atlas bank was not a
failure ut all. but was a mere voluntary
liquidation, every depositor being paid In
full. The two failures Tuesday were Of
minor importance, In each case the bank =
capital being only 100000. As against
these failures, based on local causes, tho
general condition Of the banks Is excel
lent. The reports received under the last
call, that Of Dec. II, are uniformly favor
able, and show an average reserve held
of considerably above the 20 per cent re-
quired by the law. One of the last re-
ports, that Of the Brooklyn banks, shows
the average reserve held to be 34.O2 per
cent, and most of the reports run or 10
per cent. above the legal requirements. In
each case, too, the assets In detail make
an entirely satisfactory showing as COM
pared with the liabilities. On the whole,
1t is evident that the national banks to-
day are as stable as they ever were, and
the sporadic failure of bank here ana
there through defects peculiar to the fail
ing bank Is of small Importance, wholly
without significance. / am advised from
Minneapolis that the failure there has oc-
casioned no disturbance beyond the insti-
tuition concerned"

Chicago Robbers Develop a New
Phase In Their Industry.
Two men armed with revolvers, at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, held up and
robbed Joseph e. Spanheimer, in an ele-
vator in the building at the southwest
corner of West Monroe and Jefferson
streets, Chicago. The robbers secured
$512 which Spanheimer carried in n
satchel, and then, after forcing the ele-
vator boy ut the muzzles of their revolvers
to lower the cage to the first floor, ran
out the door and made their escape.
Spanheimer is a clerk in the employ of
the Wagner Palace Car Company. For
more than year it has been his custom
every Tuesday afternoon to carry from
the Offices of the ear company in the
Woman's Temple to the office of the
Central Steam Laundry Company, in the
building where the robbery occurred, the
amount of the weekly laundry bills of the
car company The robbers had followed
him, and made their attack just when out

coiner, Cheng Tung, and his confeder-

capitation of the three above-named of

with the others as he thought necessary,
according to law. as warning in future
to the people. The officials who effected
the seizure were all promoted in rank.
The Canton viceroy reported in another
memorial the capture of two notorious
pirate junks in the open sea near Tau
Chow by the military officials. In eff
fecting the capture one military official
lost his life. A decree was issued au-
thorizing the execution of the captives
and ordering the officials concerned in
the capture to be promoted in rank and
that the matter of the military officer hav-
ing lost his life be referred TO the board
concerned for rewards and honors.

When Mosher & Son, Bay City, Mich,
lumber dealers, failed in October. 1919.
FOR more than $780, 900, they mortgaged
all of their lumber to the Union National
Bank and son-in-law of the senior
Mosher. The Preston National Bank OF
Detroit, which carried $31 600 of Mosher
4 Sons paper, attached lot of lumber
covered by the mortgage and sold IT.. The
Troy Bank thereupon began suit In the
United States Court to recover damages.
The trial ended, after being in progress
i've weeks, by the parties settling out
of court. The Preston Bank and the
other hanks in the syndicate to break the
mortgage have their claims satisfactorily
adjusted. All the other creditors are out
in the cold, as the rest of Mosher q Sons
property is beyond legal attack.

Fears Crisis in Turkey.

A Washington correspondent says that
Secretary Olney is apprehensive of an
early crisis in the situation in Turkey.
President Cleveland in his annual mes
sage intimated that the three European
powers who are waiting for the Sultan
10 accept the program they had outlined
and which was formally submitted to- the
porte by the Russian ambassador some
time ago, are getting ready for combined
action. The policy of the State Depart
ment in such an emergency will be one
Of neutrality, but an American fleet will
De on hand subject to the orders of Min
lister Terrell to guard the interests OF
American missionaries. Nothing has
been heard from Ambassador Bayard
concerning the prospects of an early move
ment of European powers to enforce the
Sultan's compliance with their demands.
but the State Department claims to have
information from other reliable sources
that action is likely to be taken at any
time and the result, 1t Is believed, will be
a serious war that will sweep away the
last vestige of the Sultans rule and prob
ably cause the dissolution of the Turkish
Government as a distinct power. The
Russian ambassador Saturday, act
ing in concert with the representatives of
and Austria. had an audience of the Sui
tan, Abdul Hamid, one of many such in
terviews which have taken place within
the last year on the same subject-that
of better administration of the affairs
of the Turkish empire The Russian dip
lomat began by warning the Sultan and
the Turkish Government that If the rev.
enues coded for the payments of the
Turkish debt were touched the European
control of the finances of the empire
would become inevitable. NJ. de Neli-
doff, the Russian ambassador, further in
formed the Sultan that the Gar guaran-
teed his personal safety and engaged him
self TO maintain the Sultan's supremacy
in the event of severe measures being
necessary upon the part of the powers.
The Sultan. however, remained obdur-
at. refusing his consent to any measure
of control. financial or otherwise, by the
powers. To this the Russian ambassa-
dor replied that the condition of the
Turkish empire placed the throne and the
caliphate in imminent peril. Thereupon
Abdul Hamid, remarked, impressively:

will never become a. second khedive."
