The immediate cause of the suspen-
sion Of the company is Its inability to
convert its securities into cash in time
to meet the sudden and abnormal de-
mand made upon It,"
The special committee appointed to
examine the affairs of tho company
organized by electlng Edwin Gould
chairman. The committee was in SEES
sion NIL afternoon and the early part
of the evening. The result of che COM
mittee's deliberations is given in the
appended statement:
The special committee, consisting
of Messrs. Gould, Bidwel, Maher,
Bralnerd and Armstrong, appointed by
The board OF directors of the Produce
Exchange Trust Company to look
after its assets and affairs, have ex-
amined the condition of the bank as
fully as the limited time at It's disposal
has permitted. The committee is well
INSURED, as ~ result of such examina-
ton, that every depositor will be paid
In full. and that large surplus will
remain for the stockholders Two
difficulties of the company are the
result of the locking UP OF an undue
proportion of It's funds in loans not
Immediately reall2able, and which, it
Is believed, 1t will eventually realize
n very large per centage of the amount
loaned. The committee is endeavoring
to effect arrangements for the early
payment of the deoositors, and also
expects to issue fuller statement at
a later date"
Superintendent 1Iilburn, OF the State
Banking Department, says that he
warned President Beall of the condi-
ton OF the bank. but that the facts

President Ha Ii Talks About His Big
Project.
HAS LET THE CONTRACTS
TO SPEND FOUR MILLIONS IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRY.
Wilkinson & Thompson of Salt Lake
Secure the Contract For 1O3 Miles
of Road-one Thousand Men to Be
Put to Work Right Away-But
Little Wool Moving.

Mr.. Louis A. Hall, president of the
Pacific & Idaho Northwestern, COM
monty called the P. l. n. road, now be-
ing built from Weiser, Ida, to the
Seven Devils country, is at the Knuts-
ford
When approached by a Herald re-
porter last evening concerning his road
he said: The road is being built. The
first ten miles are graded and contracts
are let for 1913 miles of road to be conf
pieted by Jan. /. A complete construc-
ton train-locomotive, cars, caboose,
etc.-is on the way from Chicago.
About 800 men are now at work and
1,0O0 Will be put on right away"
cir. Hall controls a considerable part
of the copper properties in the Seven
Devils country, and is also largely in
terested in the lumber business. When
asked is the road or copper property
was owned by any trust he said: 1T
is entirely independent. | am building
this road to develop my copper and
lumber interests and no trust is back
of the move
The railroad and copper and lumber
interests Will absorb between $1,000 900
and 100000, Mr.. Hall said, and he
thought that ought to be a pretty fair
indication of his belief that the Seven
Devils country will become a great
camp.
The contractors are Messrs. Wilkin-
son and Thompson of this city.
This road means great deal not
only for the people of Idaho, but fo,'
homeseekers from other places. The
mines are not the only resources. as
the road will open up one of the rich
est agricultural districts in the world
to settlement. About ten miles from
Weiser the road passes through cam
yon into Middle valley to the village
of Salubria, then into another valley
to place called Council, and from there
to the Seven Devils country. From
the time the railroad enters Middle
valley the country is as fertile as any
valley in Idaho or the United States,
ana there is still any amount of land
right along the route belonging to the
government, which is not taken up. The
climate is good and almost anything
can be raised there

CAUSE OF MRS, NEV|LLS' DEATH
ANGERED HUSBAND CENsURES
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
MIR. Coates Declares Her Trouble Was
Nervous Prostitution, But Neither
Medicine Nor Doctors Summoned.

The death of Mrs. Katherine Nevills,
which occurred on Friday at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Coates, % East
Fourth South street, occasioned no lit
tie amount of comment by friends of
John N. NevilIs, the deceased ladys
husband, and also by believers il.
Christian Science cure. The exact
cause of the lady's death is not au-
thoritatively stated and it is because
of this and the further fact that moth
ing but the Science healing was ap-
piled to her ailment that the contro
versy has arisen.
Mrs. Nevills was an invalid and a
firm believer in Christian Science doc
trine. and when she was taken i'll
little over week ago it was, so Mr.
Coates states, upon her own urgent
request that she was brought to his
home to receive science treatment. She
did not take any medicine and would
not receive any medical attendance,
because she did not believe in it, but
pinned her faith to the science cure.
In response to a telegram from Mr..
Coates to Mr.. Nevills, who is engaged
in business at Butte, Mr.. T. r. Black
was directed by the absent husband to
call uDon the patient to see that she
had medical attendance pending his
arrival at her bedside. This was on
Thursday, and Mr. Coates states that
While Mrs Nevills' condition was then
precarious he suggested to Mr.. Black
that if he desired the patient conveyed
to the hospital or to have a physician
summoned, both he and Mrs. Coates
would consent to it, even over Mrs.
Nevills' protest
Pending d decision and the arrival of
Mr.. Nevills, nothing was done. The
husband arrived from the north on
Friday morning and in a few short
hours after his wife died.
Mr.. Coates ascribeS the cause CT
death to nervous prostration brought
on by letter Mrs. Nevills received
from her husband three or four weeks
ago. On the other hand it is stated
the husband merely wrote reprovingly
to his wife on what he termed her I'M
reasonable pursuit of Christian Science
follies.
The certificate of death on file with
the board of health bears the sigma
lures Of Undertaken S. d. Evans and
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. B. Coates and sets
forth as the cause of death this: We
believe it to be nervous prostration.''
Mr.. Nevills is, however, firmly of the
belief that his wife died from abscess
of the brain. He feels very bitter to-
ward Mr.. and Mrs. Coates for not hav-
dying wife or to administer medicine
to her.
Last evening Mr. Nevills and his
young daughter left for Chatham,
Ontario, Canada, with the remains
The body will be inferred at the old
home, where funeral services will be
held

LITTLE WOOL MOVING.
Railroad Men Say the Price Is Too
Low.

Livestock Agent Gregory, of the Den

from trip to the east. He reports
that wool clipping is going merrilV
about Price and Thompson's Springs.
He also states that wool buyers are
holding off and that little if any has
changed hands this spring. In gen
eral the buyers are endeavoring to get
sheepmen to ship their clip, Offering
an advance of about cents per pound
The sheepmen are not in favor of this
and the consequence that only a small
amount of wool is moving. The price
