SHERIFFS KILLED BY NIOBS
Alabama to Make Provision for the
Families of Such Officers

Montgomery, Ala, June 25.-Again
this morning in the constitutional con-
vention the section relating to providing
for the family of a sheriff or his depu-
ty who is killed while protecting pris-
oner from mobs was debated. Govern
or Jones opened the discussion with an
appeal to the convention to reconsider
the vote by which the Burns section,
providing for this provision was lost
He contended that it was the moral du-
ty Of the state to care for these depend
ent on man who dies for the state.
Mr.. Heflin. of Chambers county, op-
posed reconsideration. He would not
have the state put a premium on the
discharge of official duty. He said he
knew of no one ever being coerced into
running for sheriff.
Mr.. Sollie, of Dale, opposed reconsid-
Grafton. His strongest contention was
that if the constitution provided for
a sheriff's family they should also pro-
vide for policeman.
Governor Jones closed the debate for
reconsideration. Are we here said
Mr.. Jones, Ito sanction the idea that a
man is not to be rewarding for doing
his duty. This is contrary to the prac-
tice of civilization. Let us let the news
go out that a Jail is sanctuary and to
attack it means death"
Reconsideration was carried 50 to so.

HEAVY CLEARING HOUSE DEBIT
Nearly a Million Dollars Against a
New York Bank Starts Wild Rumors

New York. June 25.-It became known
today that there was a debit balance al
the clearing house against the Seventh
national bank amounting to $685. 900.
This gave rise to rumors that the bank
was in difficulties and caused runors
that other banks were also hampered.
All these were cleared away when Nah
ager William Sherer, of the clearlrg
house association. gave out a statement
to the effect that all the banks in the
association had met their obligations
and that all clearing house sheets had
gone through.
William H Tappan. president OF the
Gallatin national bank and who was
present at a conference held during
the day with other members OF the
clearing house association made the
following statement: "All the banks
have settled their balances satisfactori-
ly. This disposes of all rumors."
Tonight statement was given out by
the officials of the Seventh national
bank, in which it said that the debit
balance of the bank with the clearing
house this morning was s93S, 900 and
that this balance was due to heavy
checking on the part of men connected
with several large brokerage ano
banking houses. The directors and
stockholders of the bank convened and
at once provided ample means for all
business purposes.
The statement further says that the
furry was probably started for stock
| jobbing purposes and that the runners
| so weighed on the mind of President
William H. Kimball. of the bank, that
he rendered his resignation which was
accepted and E. r. Thomas, son of
General Samuel Thomas, elected in his
place. General Thomas is a director
and one of the heaviest stockholders in
| the bank. The statement ayers that
| the bank is in most excellent condition
and is not connected directly or indi-
rectly with any other financial institu-
| ton in New York or elsewhere.
