BANK RECEIVER
MAKES STATEMENT
When the Books Were Exam
ined a Large Amount
Did Not Appear.

Boston December H.-National Bank Ex-
aminer ID. G. Wing, temporary receiver Of
the Globe National bank, gave out a state
ment tonight in which he says that in the
course of his regular examination Of the af-
fairs of the bank September he found
100000 of Globe checks outstanding, which
did not appear upon the books. President
Charles N Cole admitted this to be his per-
sonal loan. Feeling that to close the bank
at that time would cause dire results, Mr..
Bigelow, the only director within reach, Mr..
Cole and Mr.. Wing went to Washington
and laid the matter before Comptroller
Dawes. Mr. Wing then says: MIR. Bige-
low agreed to possibly guarantee that
Coles shortage should be made good to the
bank at once, Cole having turned over GER
tain securities to him, and Messrs. Clark
and Colidge assisting in guaranteeing Mr..
Bigelow.
1.-THE comptroller of the currency directed
that Mr.. Cole should resign at once as
president, that the whole matter should be
laid before the directors and that 1 at the
proper time take control. Mr.. Bigelow
owned not more than $500 900, and had more
than enough on deposit to pay his loans"
'AOn the following Monday Coolidge and
Clark gave Cole $4,000 Cole added 100000
of his own money, and repaid 100000 of the
s6O00 The balance of 100000 was repaid
in three days by the sale of Coles securi-
ties, a part being bought by Coolidge and
Clark through their respective brokers'
1.-THE banks assets were thus bettered by
100000 in cash. About a month later the
facts So far as known were laid before the
full board of directors, and further inves-
tigation showed that there were $685. 900 of
checks outstanding not on the books, and
that the indebtedness of the Lowell Arms
company was really much In excess of the
amount shown by the books, and that Mr..
Cole was himself personally the holder of
nearly 100000 of the Lowell paper.
"There was also found an apparent over
draft of the Squres amounting to $525,OOO,
in addition to their regular loan, which it.
self was in excess of the 100000 limit.
Mr.. Cole admitted his responsibility for
this overdraft, either to the bank or to the
Squires, and turned over to the bank his
own securities, including the Lowell paper
owned by him."

IRISH ARE AROUSED
Likelihood That Celebrated Fen
ians May be Revived

Omaha, Ncb., December 24.-The Bee will
say tomorrow: "There is something more
than a likelihood that the pro-Boer agtta-
ton now so general throughout the United
States will lead to the resuscita ton of the
once celebrated organization among Irish
Americans known as the Fenians, which
planned and executed an invasion of Can
ada in 1866 out of hatred of England.
'Intimations have reached Omaha from
other cities that an address calling for a
renewal of the Fenian organiza ton and the
C1an-na- Gael had been sent out from this
city to Irish-Americans in other places.
But inquiry among prominent Irishmen
failed to disclose the identity of any per-
sons who may have sent out such an adj
dress. However, 1t did develop the fact
that there is some sort of a secret move
ment on foot among the Irish enthusiasts
in this and neighboring cities which has for
its object some decisive steps of a more
belligerent character toward England than
a simple declaration of sympathy for the
Beers far away in South Africa. The move
ments here will be inaugurated by a meet
ing to be held next Sunday, when some
measures are expected to be taken.
zone of the leaders, prominent Irish
American of this city, speaking of the mat
ter said today: There are in Omaha today
a considerable number of Irishlnen who
are ready to so to the front, and they
don't care whether it is to the Transvaal
or to Canada, so long as the same end can
be accomplished. More will be known after
the meeting next Sunday and there will be
a great deal of work done by those inside
between now and that date, the nature Of
which l cannot tell "

Not since tho taking of Port Arthur

others that she is asking for n line di.

to the world that the recent conveu-
