EXPERTS FIND
A DEFAL cation
National Bank in an
Eastern City Closes
Suddenly.

BALLSTON, N. Y, Dec. Sine FIRST
National Bank of this place was closed To-
day, pending an investigation by Ma
tional Bank Examiner. 1t is stated that
the closing of the banks doors followed
the discovery of irregularities IN the ac-
counts of the teller, Charles E. Fltcham.
The bank began business in 1865. Judge
J. s. Lamoreaux succeeded the late
George West as president early in Octo-
Der of this year, and H. j. Donaldson sue
ceeded to the vice presidency. Inc new
executive officers at once began Inor-
ough investigation of the bank aHalrs
and discovered indications of a detaaca-
ton on the part of Teller F1tcham Inc
investigation was pursued until IL was
seen that the defalcation had begun many
years ago and attained large figures.
Bank Examiners Graham and van
Vranken were sent for, and yesterday pc
gan q thorough examination. Al the close
Of banking hours they reported a snort
age Of 100000 The directors then decided
to close the bank, pending an inVestlga-
was issued. Fitcham has wife ana one
daughter. President Lamoreaux salo TO-
day that it was not possible to determine ne
the amount of Fitcham's detalcatlon
without an inspection of the OUTSTANDING
certificates of deposit and depositors
pass-books. The examination, he said,
shows the teller alone is responsible.
Lamoreaux added that it is not thought
possible that any loss can come TO de-
positors or certificate holders, as the bank
has surplus of $100 900, which, 1t is hoped,
will nearly or quite meet the denclt ana
leave the banks capital of $1OO,O un1m-

NATIVES HUNT
THE CANN|bAL
Tutuilans Fear the Pres
ence Of Solomon
Islander.
Special Correspondence.

HONOLULU, Nov. N.-There was a
great deal of apprehension among the
peaceful and kindly natives of the island
of Tutuila at the time the navy trans
port Solace left Pago Pago for this port.
1t was all on account of the escape from
the supply ship Abarenda of a Solomon
Islander, who had taken refuge there
from the natives several months before.
1t seems that on the island on which
Apia is situated the Germans have i'm
ported many Solomon Islanders to work
on the plantations. These people are very
savage and given to cannibalism. Three
of them escaped from their masters and,
stealing a canoe, Travelled to Tutuila, a
distance by water of about eighty miles.
Landing on the island, they took to the
bush and began marauding. They first
lived on chickens and pigs which they
stole and there were fruits and water in
abundance to be had for the taking. Not
content with these good things, they made
their presence felt by stealing and killing
a couple Of children, whose bodies they
devoured,
The Tutuilans, finding out about the
cannibals, gave chase to lnem and after
a very exciting hunt succeeded m killing
two. The third escaped to the Abarenda,
where he was given protection. He re-
manned aboard quite a long time, but
took to the bush day or two before the
Solace sailed. His being at large and the
depredations feared al his hands are what
is causing the excitement among the Tu-
tuilans, who have organized a hunting
squad and are out looking for the man.
