Vancouver, Wash, April 23.-Charles
Brown and E. l.. Candy, president and
cashier, respectively, Of the First ma
lonal bank of Vancouver, which
has been closed by the comp
troller of the currency, committed
suicide during the night two miles
from this city, by shooting them
selves with a revolver. Their bodies
were found in the morning lying to-
gether in small clump of bushes
about one-half mile north of the CO.
lumbia school, which is situated on
the outskirts of the town. They
both used the same weapon, and
Candy evidently died first, as the re-
volver was found in Browns hand.
1t is evident that Candy put the muz-
zle of the revolver in his mouth and
then blew the top of his head off.
Brown then took it and shot himself
in exactly the same way, falling over
Canby's body. Friday evening Candy,
upon being told by Bank Examiner
j. w. Maxwell that the bank would
not be permitted to open Saturday,
went out in the yard behind the bank
and attempted to shoot himself His
revolver failed to explode, although
all five chambers were loaded After
failing to shoot himself, Candy came
back into the bank, and he and Pres
ident Brown left together later, TAX
ing his revolver.
When Examiner Maxwell confront
ed the bank officials with the short
age of $4,000, which he had discov-
cred both men admitted their guilt.
1t is said that Brown and Candy had
been specializing in stocks. Beside
Browns body there was found
package containing $25 and note
saying that the money belonged to
his daughter.
While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who
is now in charge as receiver, has
made no official statement, it is
known that the bank has loaned a
large sum of money on insufficient
security. According to his report to
the comptroller of the currency there
is shortage of $S1 900 in the banks
accounts, and it is understood that
considerable portion of this
amount was loaned to Brown and
Candy on their personal notes. About
year ago the bank reduced it's capt.
tai stock from 100000 to $4,000 At
that time about one-quarter of the
so-called bad assets was charged
off, and has been carried as an as
set since that time

Floods in New England.

New Haven, Conn, April %. ~ The
heavy storm of Saturday night and
Sunday, which raised all the rivers and
lakes of the state to freshet pitch,
caused far less property damage than
the conditions at midnight Sunday
night indicated. Shortly after that
hour the food reached its height and
began to subside. Morning reports
show that in the northwestern section
very little damage resulted. Winsted
was the worst sufferer by the storm,
though even there the damage was con
fined mainly to the flooding of streets
and cellars.

Many Questions Discussed.

The memorial is a comprehensive
document, covering 20 heads, dealing
with administrative, economic and
financial questions, and taking in
practically the entire range of gov
eminent affairs so far as there seems
to be a present opportunity of re
facilitating them on modern and
progressive lines. The document is,
however, most conservative in char
acter, and purposely avoids radical
ism and extreme reforms which have
interfered with previous efforts to
bring about a change in the existing
order of affairs. Mr.. WI is a loyal
and devoted admirer of his country
and its institutions, and he has not
been in sympathy with past efforts
for excessive change, rs in his judg-
ment they went so far as to invite
prejudice and opposition, not only in
imperial and other ruling quarters,
but also with the mass of the people
who are slow to realize the advantage
of sweeping changes. In the present
instance Mr.. WI has sought to find
a middle ground of conservative inn
provement which would commend
itself both to the Chinese govern
ment and to the world at large as
calculated to remove the most serious
obstacles in the way of progress.
