FIGHT OVER DEPOSITS.
Atchison National Bank Case In Fed
eral Court.

Two suits involving the AtchisOn Ma
tional bank failure have been filed III
the United States circuit court here
on transcripts from Atchison county.
Both suits are brought by c. S. Jobes,
national bank examiner for Kansas,
who was first appointed receiver of the
bank pending the selection of q. perma-
nent receiver. Waggener, Horton &
Orr are the attorneys for the plaintiff.
The defendant in the larger suit of
the two is the AtchisOn & Eastern
Bridge company, and the other is
against Newell D. Todd. 1t is alleged
that when the president of the bank
determined to close the bank, w. F.
Guthrie, the banks attorney, wired the
comptroller of the currency of the fact,
and stated further that the infOrma-
tion had been wired to VIM. JObes at
Wichita, but that he had not replied.
Mr.. Guthrie explained that flood of
garniShmentS might follow the closing
of the bank if some one We're not deS1g-
mated by the comptroller to take inn
mediate charge, and he asked that the
comptroller appoint him to take charge
of the banks affairs until Mr.. JObes
should arrive. The comptroller replied,
appointing Mr.. JObes as receiver, but
giving Mr.. Guthrie authority to act as
his agent until Mr.. Jobes could get to
Atchison.
The next morning, the petition al
1egeS, Mr.. Guthrie took possession and
opened the bank long enough to pay
the bridge company $14,260.40, which it
had deposit, and Todd $3,131. .9S.
which was the sum of his deposit. Then
Mr.. Guthrie closed the bank.
The action of Mr.. Guthrie, it is claim
ed was virtually giving those two de-
pOsitOrs the preference over all other
creditors, and the suits are brought to
compel them to pay the money back
into the receivers hands so that all
creditors shall fare equally we'll

HAD HER SHOES SHINED.
LFrom the New York Tribune.I

LFrOm the New York Tribune
A sight that has the charm of novelty
for strangers is the up-tO-date young
woman who gets a shine at the boot
black stand. The custom has not be-
come general enough to pass unnOticed,
even among those who live here, and on
the ferry boats the woman VINO gets a
shine is the target for many eyes.
Such a one was seen on a Staten Is
land ferry boat on recent afternoon
She was a jaunty girl rosy checked and
beaming with good health, and she car
ried half a dozen golf sticks with the
ease of a professional caddy- She took
her stand on the deck, and when the
Italian who shines EN- up appeared
summoned him with a short whistle.
Then she took her stand against the
railing and the polishing process was
begun. In about five minutes she was
the observed of all observers. A bu-
collie looking man who happened to be
standing outside made a sudden dive
for the wOman's cabin, and a moment
later appeared with his better half, a
woman of the old school, who shook her
head and was heard to remark that 1T
do beat all things what these here girls
is a looming to-" The young woman did
Fnot seem to mind the attention that
she attracted. When the job was fin
ished, according to the Italians idea, it
failed to elicit her approval, and she
insisted upon a satisfactory polish to
the back of her boots before she paid
the man.

MEANS MUCH TO FARMERS.
End of Filipino War Is Money In
Their Pockets

New York Nov GA dispatch re-
ceived here from Boston announces
that there is much satisfaction among
concerns in that city who are engaged
in the Importation and manufacture OF
hemp because of the apparently lnInl-
nent collapse of the inSurfecuOn IN the
Philippines and the probable raising of
the blockade of ports in those ISLANDS
Since the military authorities estab-
HShed a blockade it has Deen 1npossl-
bic to snip Manila hemp ana as q re-
suit the price, it is said, mas increased
400 per cent in this country. This heavy
increase has been particularly severe
upon agriculturists and shlpbullperS. II
is calculated that American farmers
will have to pay for twine made from
the present crop from $4,000, 600 to $40
100000 more than before the blockade
was established.
At the New York office of Henry w
Peabody < Co., hemp importers ana
manufacturers of Boston, 1t was sald
that with the expected raising OF the
blockade of the Philippine ports an i'm
mense financial burden would be ntted
from the shoulders of American farm
ers. immediate relief, it was SAID, would
not be afforded in the matter or prices,
because some time must elapSe before
shipments of hemp could reach this
market from the Philippines
Flint, Eddy & Co, who are among
the largest importers of Manila and
sisal hemp in the country, said that un-
less relief came very soon in the direc-
tiOn of raising the blockade of Philip
pine ports there is every probability
that the price of Manila hemp will go
even higher than it is at present. The
estimate of 100000 900 as the increase
in the price of hemp since the blockade
went into effect was regarded as rath-
er excessive and from $12, ,OO0, 900 to $15,-
100000 would more nearly represent the
increase in cost. The increased ac-
tivity in shipbuilding in this country
and in Europe it was said, is also
partly responsible for the greater cost
of hemp. While 400 per cent represents
the increase in the price of hemp, the
advance in tWine was said to have
been not more than 100 or $50 per cent
up to the present time owing to the
fact that much of the twine was con-
tracted for in advance of the establish
ment of the blockade

In the squabbie Over Chicago's Drain
age Canal

ence between Gov. Tanner, members of
his board and the drainage canal trus-
tees was held here today and the pro-
position was made that if the drama ge
summit level of the old canal the tech
nicalities which stand in the road of
the early opening of the sanitary chan
mel will be waived. The drainage trus-
tees after a conference among them
selves agreed to maintain the Bridge
port pumping works so as to furnish
sufficient water in the summit level for
the purpose of navigation until the
courts decided that the sanitary district
is not bound to maintain them longer
Trustee Eckhart sprung a surprise on
the conference by announcing that
word had been received that Secretary
Root of the war department is con-
templating referring the question as to
the federal permit to open the canal to
congress as soon as it assemblies.

HE DIDN'T WAIT.
Embezzler Tuchschmidt Took Time
by the FOreIock.

St. Louis, Nov 29-The Post-Dis-
patch today says:
Arnold Tuchschmidt, the missing
cashier of the internal revenue depart
ment is said to be short in his ac-
counts over $1,000. 1t is also said the
amount may run into figures more as
tOnishing.
Inspector VIM. Gavett who is fnves-
tigating his books discovered discrep-
ancies today which will substantially
increase all previous estimates of the
shortage.
The warrant issued for Tuchschmidt's s
arrest, charges him with having en-
bezzled $1,000. It was drawn up Mon
day morning, when the investigation
had been in progress only three day
It will take several days, Inspector Ga
Vett says. to complete the investigation.
The POst-Dispatch has learned that
the alleged defalcatiOns have been go
ing on since last August.
The information specifying the short
age mentioned was sworn to by COllec-
tor Henry c. Grenner. Tuchschmidt
made a full confession to the treasury
inspector about 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing. I know I have done wrong he
said, land I would like to know what
I ought to do"
Make a. clean breast of the affair."
replied Mr.. Gavett.
Tuchschmidt was then told to wait
until the inspector had consulted with
Collector Grenner. The conference
lasted a half an hour, during which
Tuchschmidt disappeared. United
States secret service officials and mar
shals are searching for the missing
man, a description of whom has been
sent to the state and federal authOri-
ties all over the country.

President Dreyfuss Talks of Its Future
Prospects.

Chicago, Nov. ga special to the

Asked today for a candid statement
Of the local baseball situation, PresI-
dent Barney Dreyfuss said:
L have said that am ready to sell
the Louisville club and I am still ready
L will fix reasonable figure on the
club and franchise if any one wants
to buy L have not solicited aid from
the Louisville public, not would I ac-
cept such aid. 1 could start out and
organize a stock company with plenty
of capital if I We're so disposed, but 1
feel sure that it would not be long be-
fore the people 1 had succeeded in in
teresting would be in favor of drum
ming me out of town. If it is best, in
my opinion. for the Louisville club to
continue here next season 1 shall keep
the present aggregation of players to
gether and try under more favorable
conditions to make some money
What about the story from Chicago
that you would dispose of your star
players to Hart2"
There is nothing in it. 7 have not
seen Hart. He has made no offer for
my star players or any players If he
did I would not sell. 1 have something
to sell as long as 1 have the star play
also buy the whole club at a reasonable
price"
DO you think there will be a twelve
club league next year,"
No, 1 do not. 1t is ridiculous to
talk about Cleveland running another
year. It's a big bluff. Cleveland can't
go another year.
