saloon fraternity Of this city to kill
the recent ordinance passed by the
city council to close up side en-
frances" to saloons and to have all
boxes and paraphernalia which are
used for lounging in saloons, clean
ed out. That's just what might be
expected of both Meredith and Wa
penstein. ''To a man up a tree it
looks as though they we're looking
for something, that they have their
mits out and that they do not intend
to leave Office without having heeled
themselves, financially speaking, for
all time to come. If they can sue
coed in defeating legislation passed
by the city council which would stop
the holdups and thugs, the saloon
robbers and box highwaymen, there
is no doubt but they will make all
the money they want, even though
they do not hold office but the two
years which their lord and master,
Tom Humes, as mayor Of this city,
was elected to fill. The official efforts
to defeat law and order in this city
is certainly shameful, disgraceful;
yea, damnable, and the citizens of
this city should rise up in their
power and tear them from their off
cial chairs, rather than see public de-
cency outraged as it is being done
while they are at the head Of public
affairs. If our civilization does not
hide its face in shame at such high
handed outrages then it falls away
short Of that ideal citizenship of
which cultured and refined and re-
| ligious citizens so often preach about.
The saloons and their attending
evils in this city are doing more to
advertise it as the hellhOle Of the
Northwest than everything else COM
bined. The city is practically over
run with lewd and vicious women
and their associates, and it will so re-
main until the citizens rise up in
their might and drive them out OF
the city and rob them of all of their
quasi-official protection.

BLACK ROCK MANSION SEIZED.
BRIDGEPORT TRUST COMPANY STEALS A
MARCH ON GILMAN HOUSE.

Bridgeport, Conn. March 22-At a time when the
self-appointed guardians of the Black Rock
sion OF the late George F. Gilman absent In
New-York, the Bridgeport Trust Company through
the persons of Sheriff Fenelor and Officer Wright
of the local police tonight took formal possession
of the property. The officers went TO the estate
shortly after supper tonight and the door met
Edward Sanborn. whom Mr.. Percival had left in
charge of the portion of the premises over which
he had assumed control. Sanborn had received
instructions admit strangers. it IS said. but
he did admit to-nights visitors without objection.
Within the house Messrs. Fenelor and Wright
were met by Mrs. Potts. the mother of Mrs. Hall.
and she, like the guardian of the outer door, sInll
ingly turned over the house to the arrivals.
Fenelor and Wright have installed themselves COM
fortably at Black Rock and say that they pro-
pose not TO be driven from their vantage ground
1t is thought that neither Mrs. Hall nor Percival
had heard in New-York City of the approaching
step in the At any rate their substitute at
Block Rock expressed utter ignorance of the mat
ter and seemed to be without instructions. 1t is
probable also that the local counsel of Mrs. Hall
and Percival apprised of the intended
occupancy of the representatives of the administer
ing trust company, for no effort to forestall the
action made.
Messrs. Judson and Garfield. who represent Per-
cival locally, and Daniel Davenport, Mrs. Hairs
lawyer. could not be found tonight
The claim of Miss Kupfer upon the Gilman es-
tate was cleared up tonight by interview with
Mrs. Kupfer, her mother. and the wife OF the
fer said that Mr.. Gilman first met her daughter on
one of the daily trips that Mr. Kupfer made to
Black Rock.
My husband took the girl out with him for
ride Mrs. Kupfer said. 'and Mr. Gilman was so
taken with her that he told Mr.. Kupfer 70 bring
her again. Mr. Kupfer did and the visits OF
my daughter continued be of frequent recur
renee for a number Of weeks.
Finally Mr.. Gilman discovered that Katherine
had talent for painting. and placed her under
teacher. The lessons continued during several
months. until Sunday MIR. Gilman drove to our
house and told that he wanted to make our
daughter his own. Il will adopt her he said II
will educate her and will leave her a fortune
We told him that Katherine old enough 20
choose for herself, and that would leave the
decision with her. Katherine all broken up
when told her and cried bitterly. She said that
she loved Mr.. Gilman dearly and knew how much
he offered her, but that she would stay with her
father and mother. Then Mr.. Gilman away.
but he said that II would be all right and that he
would leave katherine fortune just the same.
Miss Kupfer's lawyer declined to discuss his cli-
ents claim on the estate tonight, saying that IL
was OF too delicate nature for publication.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
THE FIRST NATIONAL. BANK STATEMENT
OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

rBF TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Washington March 22.-The fioodtide of pros
perity in the United States continues. one high
water mark is recorded only 10 be succeeded by
other record breaking figures. This condition Is
evidenced by the national bank statement
issued to-day in response to the first call OF the
Controller of the Currency for 1901. The report
will go down IN history the first national
hank statement published in the twentieth CEN
turv recording the highest aggregates Of bank
resources and deposits ever known in America
The total assets OF all the national banks
amount 10 So 49, 906. .257. against S5142oS9-
692 on December 13. 1900. a net increase OF
S293. SIG. .J65. The gain in bank assets for the
year ending February u is shown 10 be $780,
995,544. as the figures Gf the first statement OF
1900 were 81. GA 91o713
Most gratifying to the Treasury officials is the
overwhelming individual deposit account The
aggregate individual deposits amounted on
February 13 to S2,753, ,969,72 as against 81
$685., ,521 on December 13. and S24Sls4Io5o
on February 13 1900 The net advance in deposits
for the year ending February IL. 1901, was
s272, ,l22, ,eSs. The entire amount of lawful
money, including specie and legal tenders con-
troed by the banks. was on the 18th OF last
month 1862 342 40. against $500, ,957, 100 on De-
cember 13. 1900 and S462.O34.317 on February
13, 1900. Bank loans and discounts now amount
TO S2.S14.3ss ,346. against S2.4S1. .579945 a year
ago and So, zoe. .534, ,G43 last December.
With this increase in loans the percentage
of reserve required under the banking law TO
be 25 per cent in city banks and ID per cent in
country banks has steadily increased. In De-
cember it was 2S.S3 per cent. while the latest
figure is $3.50. The average reserve percentage
is looked upon a financial barometer. Of
ficials believe that business developments have
fully warranted the establishment of 1850 ma
tional banks since the law Of March II, 1900. be-
came operative.
This afternoon the gross gold in the United
States Treasury reached q new high water mark.
81 being nearly 1886 10000. This is by many
millions the largest amount of gold known TO
be held in any national treasury. According to
