A SUICIDES CONFESSION.
Banker Cross Admits That He Alone
Wrecked His Bank.

Banker Cross Admits That He Alone
Wrecked His Bank.
Emporia, Kan, Nov. 23.-Since the
sensational failure of the First Ma
tional bank, which '~as followed by the
suicide of Charles S. Cross, president
of the bank and owner of the Sunny
side stock farm, there have been ru-
mors of a written confession left be-
hind by the suicide. The letter was
made public last night by William
Martindale, vice president of the bank.
The letter follows:
II desire to state that the mis-
fortunes of myself and the bank have
been caused through my faults and
errors. / inherited a large debt. which
I endeavored to meet by going into
other schemes, which have all been
practical failures and only got me
deeper into the mire. AS to the bank
matters 1 desire to say that l have
carefully laid plans to deceive both
the board of directors, the cashier and
employees. Mr.. Martindale will now
learn for the first time how I have
carefully deceived him, principally by
way of substituted paper of which he
has no knowledge.
"The reports and letters written the
comptroller have been by me mis-
represented to the board, they having
signed on the last page and 1 having
sent other letters than the ones read
to them changing every one but the
last page. 1 have had hard luck
story most of my lifetime, the only
pleasant feature being that of my pres
ent wife, who has been a good and
true woman. Mr.. Davis, our cashier,
has never made an improper entry on
the books. and knows nothing of ,his
whole miserable business. Death I do
not fear; it is preferable to the agony
OF the past year. 1 know of nothing
further to add as to Mr.. Martindale.
This is a terrible thing for him. He
has trusted me without reserve. |
have given him a bill of sale of all
personal property"

Unjust Assessments.

In every part of Schuylkill county,
and especially SO in Shenandoah,
there is II well defined demand for a
change in the unfairness of assess
ments. Unjust taxation is the result
of such unfairness, and those who
suffer thereby apparently have nc
redress at hand and it is this state OF
affairs that causes the demand on
the part of the people for a change.
Under the present system in vogue
there are five assessors in Shenandoah
and each may put valuation upon
property in accordance with his own
notion and to the best of his ability.
There is no rule by which his action
in this respect may be guided. In
the majority of cases the value is
fixed by what property owner
might demand, rather than upon
what the property might bring in the
market. What is true of Shenandoah
is equally true of other localities, and
will continue to be the cause of dis
the present law covering assessments.
1t can be said, however in favor of
the present ward assessors that thev
have greatly improved upon the work
OF their predecessors in the triennial
assessment made this year, but so
long as the present system of electing
assessors and making assessment is in
vogue, the reform demanded will not
have been secured. The system is
more at fault than the men elected to
these positions.
In this connection we note that the
County Commissioners of Luzerne
county, whore there is also a strong
demand for relief, have given the
subject much consideration, and will
present bill before the next Legisla-
tnre and urge favorable action
thereon. 1t is to be hoped that the
Schuylkill representatives will give
the subject due co lsideration and CO.
operate with those froGa ournefghbor-
ing county.
The proposition as outlined by the
Luzerne commissioners calls for the
selection of an assessment board of
three members in each city, borough
and township, patterned after the tri-
ennial board, the assessments in all
its details to be made by them, and
they are also to hear appeals and
make adjustments when the facts
warrant, or at least to pass Judgment
thereon in the final submission of
their work to the County Commits
siOners
The work of the Commissioner
would then be not with the details, a'
now, as to which they are quite al
likely TO err as the assessors, but will
the adjustment as betweeRlocalities
If, for instance, the rates fixed wer'
too high as between Shenandoah an'
Mahanoy City, their attention woul'
be given to equalization MS between
the two towns. They would, O
course, give their attention to an
extraordinary detail in borough O
township as we'll.
The plan proposed would be mi
terially less, SO far as the expense
concerned, than that now in vogu
and the result obtained in more ju
assessment would be infinitely mo-
satisfactory. The County Commi
sioners of Luzerne appear to be co
fident that "a law along the lines d
dicated will receive favorable co
sideration at the hands of our lay
makpre
