PRESIDENT orion Promises to Pay All
DepositOrs in Full.

NEWARK, n. j.. July 13.-The announce
ment Of the arrest Of Charles R. Wester-
Welt, secretary and treasurer of the Dime
Savings Institution of this city, on the
charge of having stolen between SIS 900 and
Sio,UD from that concern. brought a large
crowd of depositors to the bank this morn
ing. They began to assemble at an early
hour, and at o'clock, the regular opening
time of the bank. there were 300 or more
persons in line. Last night the officials of
the bank stated that there would be enough
cash on hand today to pay every depositor
~" cents on the dollar, but at a meeting of
the directors this morning 1t was decided
not 10 open the bank again for the present
The directors met at the Second National
Bank, and after short discussion decided
10 take advantage of the thirty. sixty and
n!nety-day law until they are able to
straighten out the affairs of the institu-
ton After the meeting some Of the direct
ors admitted that they did not know Just
how the affairs Of the bank stood and
they said they thought il advisable not TO
open the bank for business until the situa-
ton was clearly understood. When the
crowd Of depositOrs learned that the bank
was not 10 be opened there was great ex-
element.
There were many women in the long line
Of depositors at the bank. which was con-
stantly being swelled by new arrivals and
they wept aloud they told of their de-
posts In the bank. and expressed their
fears that their money was gone The
crowd finally assumed such proportions that
the chief of police ordered the extra re-
serves TO the scene. The chief told the di-
rectors Of the bank that his men would
keep clear passage through the crowd on
the sidewalk. but that he would not under
take to disperse the throng of excited de-
positors. The directors. he said, would have
to get rid Of the crowd in the best way
they could. President Orton is preparing

be given out later.
President orion subsequently, concluded
TO withhold his statement concerning the
banks condition for the present The
doors of the institution were opened and
the hundreds of depositors crowded In
Their pass books were taken by the bank
officials and receipts given for them. Then
the depositors were told that they would
be notified In week as to how their ac-
counts stood and when they would get
their money.
The statements made by the bank Off
| Gals seemed TO have a reassuring effect
and the excitement subsidized. BY noon the
crowd for the most part had dispersed and
most Of the police reserves were sent ba ck

WHAT MISSOURI WILL DO.
Mr.. Joy Says She VIII Send Five Re-
pubiicans to the House.

Missouri will send five republicans at
least to the House of Representatives at
the next election" said Representative
Joy of st. Louis to a Star reporter today.
I'VE will elect three republicans from the
city of ST. Louis. Sound money and pros
perity against free silver and nothing will
do it.
"Out in the state we will carry two dis
tricts row represented by democrats. One
of these is an industrial region. where
large numbers of workmen are busy and
good times are prevailing on account prin-
cipally of the republican protective tariff
which has enabled them to do business.
They are not likely to give this up.
THE other district is a manufacturing
region, where there is general prosperity
This is a strong sound money section. and
the workingmen have no confidence in free
silver nor any desire to exchange the GER
tainty of their present easy condition for
the uncertainties of the democratic outlook.
The republican vote on the national
ticket will be largely increased. but in
these congressional districts We will be
able to do something practical for the
party and the country and we will do 1t by
sending republicans to Congress"

School and Library.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

The relation of the public school to the
public library ought to be very close
one. The school is but the beginning in
the art and habit of the use of books Chi
cago spends 100000 a year on its public
schools: it spends a good deal of money
on its library for the free use of the people.
The Chicago public library deserves espe-
cial consideration for the enlightened and
liberal policy which has characterized its
management. 1t is not en1ugh to have
duly stacked up on its shelves its rich
treasure of books. The saying that books
are sold, not bought" has its application
in the uses of library. There are some
book-hungry souls who will go long dis
tances to hunt up the books they want;
the greater number Of persons will get and
read books that are made easily accessi-
BILE to them.
Thus the circulation of the Chicago pub
lie library the past year reached the enor-
mtSs number of 1.749.775 This is a much
larger number than in the case of any
other American library. But the remark
able fact about this Is that only one-third
of this number were drawn from the CEN
trail library; the other two-thirds-that is
1.143, 3S4-were taken out at the several
delivery stations. The number of delivery
stations is now sixty-four three new ones
having been added during the year. OF
these twelve are in the north division.
twenty seven in the south division and
twenty-five in the west division More
over, the entire cost of maintaining these
several delivery stations was not quite
$4,000 This is only one and seyen-tenths
Of q cent per volume. All this Is a case
Of municipal ownership and management
of which nothing but good is to be spoken.

BY THE WAR DEPARTMENT..
Congress Has Failed to Provide Funds

port of Col. Allen.

Several days ago Secretary Long suggest
ed to the Secretary Of War the desirability

branch channel at the Washington navy
yard. The matter was referred to Colonel

port. and his report was referred to Secre-
tary Long today.
The subject of the improvement of the
Eastern branch of the Potomac river (Ana-
costa river) has been before the public,
more or less. for number of years past.
The board of officers of the corps of engi-
neers. In its report of 1852 upon the i'm
provement of the Potomac river in the vi
cinity of Washington, recommended the
dredging of a channel twenty feet deep at
mean low water and 125 feet wide through
the shoals which prevent proper access to
the navy yard, and the excavation of a
turning basin Of suitable capacity and
twenty-four feet deep at the yard Prob
able cost SJO.OO0. The river and harbor
act OF Congress. September 49, 1880, pro-
Sided that $4,000 of the appropriation of
S2ooWo by that act for improving the Po-
tomac river should be available for ex-
penditure on the channel in the Anacostia
river between the navy yard and Giesboro'
foint ms allotment was applied as re-
CURED to widening and deepening the chan
mel of the Anacostia river the width To he
ABOUT 2oO feet and the depth twenty feet
at low water. This work was completed
IN the spring of 1S.t2.
ihls is the only dredging so far as
kno"h' done under the engineer depart
ment, United States army, for the i'm
proVement of this river, and no appropria-
uoh Tor improvement under that DEPART
ment mas been made since September lSD
a survey of the Anacostia river with a
view to its improvement was made under
direction OF the chief of engineers, United
states army, in compliance with the pro-
VISIONS OF the river and harbor act of
september, 1880, and the report published
IN executive document No 30, House of
representa- tives, Fffty-second Congress,
nrst session. Another survey was made in
1913. under direction of the chief of engi-
neers, United States army. in conformity
with joint resolution of Congress ap-
proved April II, 1S9S, with a view to the
Improvement and the reclamation of its
Mats. The report of this survey is publish
ed as document 81, House of Representa-
tives, Fifty fifth Congress, third session No
Improvement was ordered as the result of
these two surveys"
In forwarding this report the chief of
engineers added the following Endorsement:
While the improvement of this water
way has been recommended at various
times by this department, Congress has
failed to provide for such work and no
funds are at present available therefor"

United States Consuls Bartleman. at
