THE STURGES BANK
 CLOSES ITS DOORS
The Suspension Was followed by Assignment of Mans
 field Machine Works

Mansfield, O., July 3.-The Sturges Bank failed to open its doors today and is in the hands of receiver. The closing of this bank was followed by an assign ment of William M Sturges. owner of the bank, and by the appointment of a receiver for the Mansfield Machine Works, capital $3O00OO, that were con- trolled by Sturges and his associates.
 The bank was a private institution. Its depositors were mostly grain men and farmers It paid interest on deposits from the time money was received None of the other banks here will be affected.
 William M. Sturges is interested in numerous enterprises. He was a breeder of fine cattle, giving a great deal of his time to that matter. He owns lumber works. a coal yard and large stock farm. He owns valuable property in this city and was engaged in building a num- Der of new houses in the southern part of the city. H. B. Dirlam began work as the assignee of MT. Sturges this af- ternoon. MT. Sturges filed suit against the Mansfield Machine Works to assess the stockholders. This concern also went into the hands of a receiver today, A A. Peck, president of the company, being appointed receiver. His bond was fixed at Eo,0o0 He was given authority to continue running the plant. which em- - ploys several hundred men. Its capital is $300, 900.
 MT Sturges owned $S2, 900 of stock in this concern and was an indorser for over $50, 900 of it's paper Other heavy stockholders are John B. Sturges, Mary D. Sturges A A Peck and A. A. Peck, guardian. There is a large number of stockholders, among them being the late John Sherman, whose estate still holds a few shares The machine works have not paid any dividends for five years.
 There have not been any additional failures, but claims are being put in by creditors No schedule has been filed as yet and no statement w been made of assets and liabilities. Other banks of the city claim the failure of Willis Sturges has been expected for months though to the general public it was great sur prise.

BRITISH NAVY.
Asserted That It Is inadequate To Meet
 French and Russian Fleets.

London, July 3.-During the debate today in the House of Commons on naval estimates the Cabinet ministers were heckled on all sides regarding the condition of the navy. It was asserted the British Mediterranean fleet was especially inadequate to meet the French and Russian squadrons, saying that it was undermanned and uneQuip- ped, especially with modern guns; that 1t lacked coalers and the coal depots were all exposed to an enemies fire. The members generally predicted that in case of war the admiralty would break down as completely as the War Office did
 P. c. Arnold Forester, Secretary to the Admiralty, in replying, referred to the great demand on the Admiralty for services in South Africa and China and promised to strengthen the Mediter- ranean fleet when new battleships were available and aid to the fleet cruisers and torpedo destroyers.
