BOSTON BANK CLOSED.
Failure of Central National Causes
Only Slight F4urry,

Only Slight F4Urry,
BOSTON, Nov. 15.-The Central Ma
tional, a small institution compared
with many other city banks, has closed
its doors by reason of an order from
the comptroller Of the currency, who
has placed National Bank Examiner
w. e. Neal over it as temporary re-
ceiver. Impaired assets is given as the
reason for the failure, and the bank is
closed for good.
The incident did not produce any fur
ry in financial circles, as the closing of
the bank through liquidation by the
Eliot National bank was looked for,
and such action it was supposed had
commenced
The incident which precipitated the
failure was the rejection of consid-
cradle portion of the Central bank
assets by President Burrage of the FL
lot bank, who was scrutinizing them
preparatory to taking the bank for Ii
quotation. Another portion Of the as
sets was known to have been accepta-
BILE, and the action of President Bur-
rage and the Eliot bank directorate in
refusing to liquidate the bank was I'M
expected Wednesday sales Of the Cen
trails stock dropped SD from par, and
Thursday depositors withdrew some
thing like 100000.
Later the clearing house declined to
aid the bank, and certified checks on
the bank were refused acceptance by
other banks. Preparations were at once
made to place a receiver in charge of
the bank.
Many banks came to the relief of the
CentraPs depositors, the National
Shawmut offering to advance so per
cent Of their deposits. Director Moses
w. Richardson of the bank says that
depositors probably will be paid in full,
and while the stockholders may be
called upon for quick assessment in
the end they will lose nothing. Officers
Of other banks are Of the opinion that
the CentraFs failure will not be no
ticed in financial circles.

WITH THE WHEELMEN.
Billy Fem Is Entered for the Six Day
Race. -a <...sq


Race. ~..s
There is abundant reason to believe
that again this year the six day bicycle
race will draw record-breaking crowds
to Madison Square Garden. For some
reason this annual contest attracts
people who never go to an outdoor
race meet during all the open season.
1t has fascination that is peculiarly
its own. Since the law preventing the
continuous riding of man was passed,
and the plan of having the riders COM
pete in teams was adopted, it has been
essentially q. contest of long distance
spr1nters and not of ''pluggers," as of
old. A number of riders well known
on the race track, but new to the six
ay race, will be seen this year, besides
many OF the reliable standbys of for
mer years. Bobby Wa1thour has a
large idea of his value as an attraction
and is still dickering with the mana
gers, but it is expected that he will
eventually sign with either Benny
Munro or Lester Wilson as a team
mate. Teams actually signed or the
race are: w. S. Fem and Patsy Kee-
gan, w. 6. Stinson and j. Il. Moran,
Floyd Mcfarland and Otto Maya.
John Bedell and Menus Bedell. Nat
Butler and Charles Turville, George
Leander and Farmer William
Blume, Jed Newkirk and J. P. Jacob
son, G. ID. Barclay and Franz G. Krebs.
On November % j. G. Kennedy is
due to arrive in New York from Eu-
rope with Elkes, Bald and four or five
teams of the best long distance riders
on the continent. 1t is the design of
the management not to start more
| than fifteen teams in the race. The
contest begins five minutes after mid.
night on the morning of December s.

THE PRINCETON TIGER
Slipped Its Collar and Got Away-Cap-
tured Again.


Princeton, N. j., Nov 15.-The little
tiger mascot which was sent to Cap
tain Davis as gift from Coach Hill
Iebrand to be used at the Yale game
to-day, broke loose yesterday and al
most escaped from the athletic field
Captain Davis was leading the animal
on the field when it suddenly slipped
its collar over its head and bounded
across the gridiron Captain Davis
and Coach Barnard pursued the fugi-
tive, and after a hard sprint of $50
yards the captain sprang upon it and,
after being bitten and scratched badly,
succeeded, with Bannard's help. in
fastening the collar on its neck. The
active mascot will be kept within the
field house until the game starts to-day
when it will appear on the side lines.

VALE SITkA
She Is Handler to Westward
 Than Live Town

Seattle. Jan. 9. W. R. Mills, of Sitka In discussing the removal of the capital from thu, city. gives it as hls firm opinion that Congress would make serious mis- take in ordering the transfer.
 "ln the uneven development of the Alas kan coast territory" said Mr. Mills yes terday at the Northern. "the leimanent metropolitan port has not yet been deter mined. New gold discoveries and the es- tlblishment of eanDerles cause a continual transformation of the respective cities. Sltkl has, in degree, detrlorated as re- gards commerce. The southeastern part of Alaska has gone forward iuegularly. It's boom days are due to the growth of the Yukon, to which Lynn canal Is the gateway.
 Cooks inlet Is anually increasing In i'm potance, Valdes, some experienced Alas kan mining men say, Is destined 10 be- come one of the chlet ports of the coast.
 "The vicinity of Yakutat bay country Is known 10 be rich In mineral and fisheries.
 "The future wealth of the westerly paIts of the coast Is a strong argument in favor of the retention of the capital in It's present location. If it Is moved to Juneau it will be more than 100 miles farther from the westerly towns than at present" !"

The school board will convene Friday evening at s o'clock at City Clerk CheI- lander's office, to transact current business. The teachers will be given their warrants.
 The building of the new school house was heavy burden on the resources of the district, says Clerk Cheallnder. After the beginning of the fiscal year, about July "a, there will ba plenty of money to not only pay all auearages but to carry the the schools very adequately on a cash basis through the year. There will be without doubt as much as ss,ooo coming in from lcanSes. Whether there is any money in the hands of W. ;. Hills, clerk of the court, at Juneau, has not been re- gently ascertained.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. s.
Thirty thousand acres of timber
land in Walker and Winston
counties have changed hands
within the last few days, the lump
sum of $400, 1000 being the con-
siderstion.
The Jasper Land company,
which held op,ions on practically
all the tract, made the same,
Wisconsin capitalists boing the
purchasers. Charles j. Winston,
Charles j. Gilbert, Neal Brown
and j. H. Koehler are among the
largest holders in the new pur-
chase.
1t is the intention of the pro-
posed new company to divide the
land into 4O-acre tracts, building
homes thereon and locating sew
eral large saw mills. Several
hundred families will be located
on the land before spring it is
said. The promoters of the
scheme have organized center
colonies and effected development
IN Wisconsin, Minnesota and
California, and great things are
expected of them in Western Ala
bama. A stretch of railroad will
be built right away through the
belt Of land and will connect with
the Frisco and Southern railroads
at Jasper, Ala. 1t ls estimated
that there are 200, 900, 900 feet of
lumber on the land purchased. 1t
is stated that after the timber has
been cut of the land, it will. be,
aor rather most of it, will be adj
mirably adapted to agricultural
pursuits.

fatal shot and has not yet been
aprrehended, though the police
are watching every train and
making diligent effort to arrest
the criminal.
Bishop comesto Charlotte quite
frequently and has been at the
Buford Hotel for the past week.
The fact that he met Miss Lena
Schultz, of this city, six weeks
ago and has seen her constantly
every time he has been to
town since then, is incidental to
the shooting.
INCIDENTS PRIOR TO THE SHOOT.
Last night about 8 O'Clock
Miss Schultz went to the house of
her brother-in-law, MIR. Jacob
Meyer, who lives at 301 East
Oak street, or three doors from
the Wilson home, to spend the
night. She was accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Julius Schultz,
who lives at 61S East Ninth
street. Miss Ada Wilson, shop
girl, and the 17-year-old daugh,
ter of Tom Wilson, came over to
the Meyer residence and asked
Miss Schultz to come to her
home and spend the night.
Bishop, who lad an engage
ment with Miss Schultz, joined the
party at the Meyer home some
time after 8 o'clock. Mr.. Meyer
offered wine to drink and every.
body, with the exception of Mrs.
Schultz, accepted the invita-
ton.
About $3.50 O'Clock Bishop.
Miss Wilson and Miss Shultz ac-
compsnied Mis-. Shultz to the

put her on car going in the di~
rection of Mrs. Schultz's home
they went to the home of Mr..
Wilson, who lives in the same
house with his father-in- law, Mr..
A. b. Downs.
After going inside the house
the trio went into the parlor
They carried with them two bot
ties of wine, which, it is SAID,
were procured at the Meyer
home.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PARLoR
Bishop, Miss Wilson and Mis-
Schultz drank and made merry.
The noise in the parlor attracted
the attention of Mrs. Wilson,
who came to the parler and look
ed in. She saw the wine OH the
table, and, objecting to drinking
in the house, returned to her bed
room, awakened her husband ant
