A VERY SICK BOY.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, Is Making a Strong Battle
Against an Attack Of Pneumonia

Groton, Mass, Feb. 10.-The condi
tion of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, was
slightly less favorable this morning.
The lung hitherto clear, was found by
the doctors affected by the disease.
Respiration and temperature were
higher, but the pulse was better.
Mrs. Roosevelt slept on cot by her
sons side, while the president remained
at the home of DR.. Gardner, adjoining
the school. The visit of father and
mother seemed to brighten the patient
considerably this morning. From the
statements of Physician Dr.. George D.,
Shattuck, of Boston, it appears the
crisis will be reached on Wednesday
No plans are yet made for the return of
President Roosevelt to Washington. A
special telephone line has been run from
the residence of DR.. Gardner direct to
the White House for the presidents use.
1t was learned today that another
student, John T.. TAayel, Jr., as i'll with
pneumonia at his home. Howard e.
Potter, of New York, and VIM Gammell,
of Providence, who are i'll in the school
building, were reported slightly i'm
proved this morning.
At o'clock the condition of the pa
tient was unchanged.
Secretary Cortelyou said today that in
order that the young patient should
have the benefit of the highest medical
skill, a prominent New York specialist
OF pulmonary disease has been asked to
come to Groton.

A DETROIT SAVINGS
BANK SUSPENDS
The Vice President Of the Bank Had More
Than 0ne-1hird Of the Deposits Out on
Certified Checks and Over Drafts.
The CASHIER HAD ACTED INDEPENDENT
OF THE DIRECTORS OF the BANK

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 10.-The City
Savings Bank did not open this morn
ing. The following notice was posted:
This bank is in the hands of George
l.. Maltz, banking commissioner" Ask
ed the reason for the suspension of the
City Savings Bank, Mr.. Maltz said:
Frank c. Andrews, vice president of
the bank and commissioner of police is
the reason The bank has total deposits
of over s3,O00,000, and Andrews had
more than one-third of this money out
on certified checks and over drafts.
There are $662,0OO out on certified
checks and s914,OOO in over drafts. Hen
ry r. Andrews, cashier of the bank, ad-
vanced this money to Frank c. An
drews, without the knowledge of the
directors They are entirely blame
less When I learned of the banks
condition, closed it, Bank Commits
sioner Maltz said it did not look as
though f. G. Andrews had much to
cover the amount he had drawn from
the bank
Several hundred thousand dollars of
public funds are in the City Savings
bank. Frank G. Andrews filed a quit
claim deed to the City Savings bank on
several pieces Of valuable property. e.
c. Pingree, the president, and the direc-
tors of the City Savings bank publish
ed the following statement:
EARLY Saturday morning we learned
for the first time that Henry r. An
drews, cashier of the bank, allowed F.
G. Andrews to overdraw his account in
sum over 100000, and had also with
out consideration certified Said Frank
C. Andrews checks for over 100000, for
all of which checks were outstanding
The bank was at once put in hands of
a banking commissioner and we set
about to get all the security we could.
Frank c. Andrews turned over to the
bank large amount of securities,
from which we hope to pay our depos-
itors in full. The banking commission
er deemed it the wisest policy to close
the bank for the present. for the best
interest of all depositors. Outside Of
the Frank c. Andrews Indebtedness
and checks, the bank was never in bet
ter condition"

pREcEDEATs OVERTHROW.
Nearly 200 Men In tho Federal PsnItsntlarlss May Go
Free as Result.

st. Louis, Mo-; Feb. 1O.-Established
precedens in the United States army
were overthrown and the freedom of
nearly 200 men now confined in the
federal penitentiary was assured by a
decision rendered by the United States
circuit court of appeals today in the
case of Peter c. Deming, former cap
tain of United States Volunteers,
against Robert M. McClaughey, war;
den Of the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth. Deming was imprisoned
on the sentence Of a court martial,
composed OF nine regular officers, con-
vened by General Shafter. The opinion
of the circuit court, written by Judge
Sanborn, is that the court martial
which sentenced Deming acted in vio-
lation of Article ~. Articles Of War,
which provides that officers Of the reg
ular army shall not be competent to
sit on courts martial for the trial OF
officers and soldiers OF other forces.
Deming was captain Of the subsistency
department Of the volunteer army. The
charge against him related to his ac-
counts.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
The Santa Fe Is Double Tracking Its Line Over the
Ration Mountains,

1t does not look as If the Santa Fe
Railway Company has any intention at
present of giving up its Ration tunnel
route from Colorado into New Mexico,
as has been rumored from time to time.
A large construction force has almost
completed the double tracking of the
route from Morley, Colorado, to the tun-
mel on the Colorado side. Bridges and
viaducts have been wdened and steel is
supplanting wood Eighty pound rails
are being laid and the ballast is small
hard stone making a very substantial
and smooth roadbed. Considerable fill
ing had to be done. In cutting away
additional earth and rock in the cuts to
make room for the second track, ex-
tensive strata of coal have been uncov-
cred but few feet beneath tho surface,
demonstrating that the Ration noun
tains contain practically an inexhaust-
ibe supply of coal.

NORA FULLER MURDER
The San Francisco Police Are Still Unable TO
Locate the Murderer Of the Sixteen
Year Old Girl.
THE GIRL was CAL0ROFORMED
AND THEN STRANGLED

San Francisco. Calf, Feb. 10.-The
mystery surrounding the murder of 16-
year-old Nora Fuller, whose nude body
was found on bed in an unoccupied
house on Sutter street, remains unsolv-
ed. The autopsy made it practically
certain that the girl was chloroformed,
and then strangled. Although she dis
appeared four weeks ago, when she
met a man calling himself John Ben
nett in answer to an advertisement for
a girl to care for child, the autopsy
surgeon is positive she was killed
within the last ten days. There was
nothing to indicate that the girl and
Bennett, who under the name of Of c.
B. Hawkins, is believed to have rented
the house, lived there.

Judge Ryan decides that the foregoing

Edward Butler. A millionaire several times
over the former political boss is neverthe-
less as inconseQuential as a dead man so

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In an article published in your issue

wise that it turned my thoughts back TO
the old calamity days during the years
1880 to 1926. experienced BY ali Kan
sans. But how is there at his time il
a land of plenty, and prosperity look
ing US square in the face, such pessi-
mist as the writer of the article refer
red to, and he well knowing that every
industry throughout this broad land is
driven far beyond its capacity
The mills manufacturing steel rails,
plate, channels, eye beams, and ali
Kinds or structural work, are operating
three eight-hour shifts each day. and
time in supplying the increased de-
mands. Also the locomotive, car and
bridge builders, with their additional
foreign trade, the undermining of China.
and the rebuilding of Africa with Amer
lean railroads and bridges, have so over
crowded their facilities that they scarce
ly know where they are at" For ex-
ample, TO show how all the great ma
chine shops, or some of them, are filed

Milwaukee. Fra zfer & Chambers of Chi

Louis, which are so crowded with work
ahead, that they cannot at this time ac-
cept orders with a shipping limit
With this partial statement of the
mills and factories. I will now turn tc
the condition of the farmer. giving a
partial review of. the year 1902:
Kansas corn crop, 200, 900, 900 bushels:
United States corn crop, 2, 500 900 0On
bushels; selling at an average price Of
Accents per busheA TO the farmer. 80
Kansas wheat 4eFop, 54 600, 900 bushels
with 10. 000, 900 surplus old wheat on
hand; United States wheat crop, $780,
100000 bushels. selling at an average
price of so cents per bushel to the
farmer.
With the money per capita the largest
ever known in our history and the fu-
ture wheat crop striving to out do the
crop of 1901, it seems to me after giving
these statements of facts that a pessi-
mist is the most evil spirit that ever
haunted an industrious people.
