Stakeholder.
Vancouver, Wash, April 21,-Charles
Brown and E. L. Candy. president and
cashier. respectively, of the First Ma
tional Bank of this city. which was forced
to suspend yesterday. committed suicide
last night two miles from here. Their
bodies were found this morning.
Both used the same weapon and Candy
evidently died first as the revolver was
found in Browns hand. Each put the
muzzle OF the revolver in his mouth and
blew the top of his head off.
Candy, upon being told by Bank Exam
iner j. w. Maxwell on Friday evening
that the bank would not be permitted to
open Saturday. went out in the yard be-
hind the bank and attempted to shoot
himself. His revolver failed to explode.
Candy came back into the bank and he
and President Brown left together, taking
a revolver with them. When Examiner
Maxwell confronted the bank officials
with the shortage of SS1 900 both men ad-
mitted their guilt. 1t is said that Brown
and Candy had been speculating in stocks.
Beside Browns body there was package
containing $25 and note saying that the
money belonged to his daughter. Upon
Canby's body the following brief note
was found:
MY dear Wife: feel what I am about
to do Is for the best. Forgive me IL you
can and try TO live for our dear children.

brother is paymaster in the United
States army. Another brother committed
suicide by jumping off the wharf at Van
couver several years ago.
While Bank Examiner Maxwell who is
now in charge as receiver has made no
official statement II is known that the
bank has loaned a large sum of money
on insufficient securities. According to his
report to the controller Of the currency
there is shortage of $1,000 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 its capital stock from
100000 to $4,000. Al that time about one
half of the so-ca led bad assets were
charged off, and have not been carried
as an asset since that time.
The heaviest stockholder of the bank Is
Col. Stephen Josiyn of the regular army,
member of Gen. Skaters staff
According to the last statement, issued
In February, the bank had deposits
amounting to about $4,000.

BOYS QUEER HALLUCINATION.
Thinks He Is TOrmented Into Com
hitting Arson by Negroes.

Atlanta, April G.-Newton Hucks, a IA
year-old white boy, is in the police bar
racks here charged with arson, and the
case is one OF the most peculiar in police
annals. Hucks twice attempted to burn
his former home at III Mangum street,
four times tried to burn the Wolfe Cloth
ing Factory on West Mitchell street, and
twice applied the torch to his present
home, 2S Pulliam street, where he lives
with his mother
Last night his mother and a Mrs. An
derson, wife of a fireman, caught him in
the act of applying the torch to his home
and he was turned over 10 the police.
To-day he confessed to all the attempts to
burn, and told between convulsive sobs
a story OF how he had been prosecuted
by two negroes who had compelled him
by all sorts of threats TO apply the torch
His story left no doubt In the minds OF
those who heard him that his prosecutors
were real to him, though they were crea-
lures of disordored mind. His halluci-
nation is a strange one, aud he has been
put down as another species of the pa
ranoiac. He will probably be sent to the
ztate sanitarium

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Now Awaiting Decision of supreme
Court In IRsuIar Cases.

Washington, April 21.--It is not likely
that the new Philippine tariff will be pro-
mu.gated until after tho decision OF the
Supreme Court in the insular cases. 1t is
stated at the War Department, where
the matter has received consideration,
that this decision may make Il unnecessa-
ry for the government to establish sys-
tenn of tariff rates in the Philippines,
although the department has proceeded
with the work of equaizing the rates
aud receiving and considering suggestions
al though the coming decision would not
make any change in the present condi-
tons.
Some months ago the War Department
published the tariff as prepared by the
tariff experts in the Philippines and APP
proved by the Taft Commission. Interest
ed parties. especially manufacturers and
shippers, were invited to examine this
proposed tariff and make suggestions and
criticisms.
1t is interesting 10 note that OF the 4l0
paragraphs In the proposed tariff. only
80 paragraphs have provoked criticism
or suggestion. Even these are in mild
tone and nearly all take the form OF sug-
gestion.
