dent having been vice president of the

directed that the bank be closed in or
der to best protect ali Interested
The bank superint was seen in
the Niagara bank and asked why the
bank was closed. He said:
II have closed this bank because I
think it insoIvent The main reason for
the failure is the failure of the City

in that to an extent not yet to be an
nounced, but do not deem it safe to
permit this one to continue business
any longer As to whether this bank
has been in trouble heretofore, I have
nothing to say

Poughlxeepsie, N Y, July 2.-The day
of the intercollegiate regatta opened in
tensely hot, and with scarcely a breath
of air stirring The thermometer at $50

ishly displayed and added picturesque
feature of the crowds. 1t was pointed
out this morning as a rather phenom-
email thing that out of a total of over
100 college OarSmen there has not been
any severe or serious cases of illness, or
collapse, and this in the face of the fact
that the temporal ture was severely try

OUT OF ice.
Famine Prevails in Number of
Kentucky Towns.

Louisville, July 2-The ice shortage
in Louisville and scores of small Ken
tucky towns is getting to be very ser
ious. The decision of local dealers yes
terday to fill no more out of town orders
at present, in order to protect patrons
at home, was followed today by the an
nouncement of two large dealers that
their supply was exhausted The ice
delivered during the morning was what
was left over from last night, but at 10
o'clock this was gone. Six carloads had
been ordered from Chicago and Indian
apolis. There has as yet been no great
suffering in Louisville owing to the
famine, but dozens of towns in the state
are entirely without ice and there is
little hope for any relief though big or
ders have been placed in the north for
immediate delivery.

Washington, July 2.-The record Of
the case of Benjamin d. Greene, John
.. Gaynor, William T. Gaynor, and Ed
ward H Gaynor. charged with entering
into a combination with Captain Ober-
lin NJ. Carter to defraud the govern
ment in connection with the improve
ment of the harbor at Savannah, Ga,
was filed in the Office of the clerk of
the United States supreme court today.
The case comes to this court from the
circuit court for the southern district
of New York, that court refusing to
grant the application of the persons
named for a writ of habeas corpus, thus
confirming the order for their removal
for trial to the circuit court for the
southern district Of Georgia, where they
were indicted. In their assignment of
errors the petitioners a1lege that the
Georgia grand jury was illegally and
improperly drawn and that therefore
the indictment is invalid. It is also al
legged that the Georgia court is without
jurisdiction and that the indictment
states no offense against the laws OF
the United States.
