Cincinnati November 2O.-Experts work ing on the books of the German National Bak of Newport, Ky, reported tonight that they have so far found shortage of S195, ,0O0 in the books of Frank M. Brown, the missing cashier, and they are not yet through with their checking.
 The clerks of the bank who are working with Receiver Fuckers experts today dls- covered another plan operated by Brown. When a check was entered on October S1 for S3. .45 he entered it as $2003. 45 and got the benefit of $200O On the same day he put "2' in front of an entry of $50 and got 5000 more. The experts say that Brown repeatedly credited himself with 5000, 5000 and 5000 deposits when he did not deposit anything, but took out that amount soon afterward. Browns books show that he did not strike for sums of less than 5000 in any of these transactions.

Brown, late assistant cashier of the Ger man National Bank of Newport, y.,whose defalcation of nearly $2OO,O 900 caused his flight on Tuesday last week. is now In Cam ada.

 The reorganization plan which the stock holders are to consider at a meeting to be held Wednesday afternoon appears likely to be adopted. The stockholders are liable to S100 assessment on each share of stock held That would be a dead loss if paid and the banks affairs wound up. The plan is to make the assessment $145 per share, producing $145,OO0, and using the $5O,0OO sur plus, wipe out the dedication and pre- serve the life of the bank.
 Bank Examiner Tucker in charge, says if this money Is raised the bank can im- mediately open its doors, and it is under stood the larger depositorS are willing to have that course taken.
 United States District Attorney Hill, who was expected to arrive in Newport this morning to look after the institution of criminal proceedings in the case of the Ger man National Bank, has not yet appeared, and until he does come nothing can be done in that direction
 Temporary Receiver Tucker today opened the doors of the bank for the sole purpose of receiving the pass books of depositors and of receiving any money due the bank.
 The first suit brought in the case of the bank was instituted today by Receiver Tucker. It was in the nature of blanket attachment on all the property of Frank M. Brown and is to cover $30,000 of the shortage. This amount is alleged to have been taken within the past twelve months, and includes the first items discovered in the shortage.
 No action will be taken against Paris c. Brown as bondsman of his son, since he and his Wife are taking steps to deliver to the bank directors or to the receiver every portion of their tangible property.
 Tonight United States Commissioner Leonard, on the affidavit of the examiners, issued warrant for the arrest of Brown, but there Is still no clue to his where abouts. The officers have telegraphed to all coast points for his apprehension, and will have the warrants ready in case Brown is caught. There is still much talk about others being under surveillance, but no other arrests have been made.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that this

the policy is upheld by popular vote,
