Chicago. Oct. 20.-May Hayes finish
ed Il love affair with George Davis,
assistant day clerk at the Auditorium,
by stabbing him with an ink eraser at
the womans entrance to the hotel in
Michigan avenue. Davis was told by
bell boy that u woman wanted to
see him at the entrance. He walked
out and was confronted by an irate

yards away. Davis listened. for 4
while and then he turned to so back
to his desk
At this jUncture the young woman
produced an ink eraser and made a
lunge at him. The first cut made a cash
in Davis arm. the second ripped q
large section from his right leg. and
the third tore Il rent in his left cheek.
Miss Hayes was getting warmed up to
her work when she was diSarmed by
Detective RepettO. of the hotel secret

lived with Davis as his wife for eight

CRESCEUS AGAIN
KING OF TROTTERS
Lowers Record Quarter of a Second
Below Two
Minutes.

Wichita, Kans., Oct. 2O-Cresceus,
once the king of trotters, regained
his lost laurels yesterday by trotting
mile in 1:59A over the Wichita
track, beating the record of 300 held
by Lou Dillon and Maj. Delmar just
one-fourth of a second.
The day for the record-breaking
feat was ideal, and the track was
lightning fast. Cresceus was aided
only by one pacemaker, Mike the
Tramp, who has been his running
mate in nearly all of his sensational
performances. There was no wind
shield to accelerate the speed of the
great horse, and had he not made a
break during the journey it is likely
that the record would have suffered
still more.
He broke when he first scored for
the word, but on the next attempt
was sent off, going the first quarter
in O:3O fat. There was a cheer when
he reached the half in 0:59A, and
when the three-quarters was passed
in 1:3O the cheer became an uproar.
Just before he reached the wire Gre
sceus broke, and it is believed lost
fully three-quarters of a second. He
caught handily and flashed under the
wire i'll 1:59%4.

Concerns in No Way Connected-No Wild

The plain facts in the days his
tory are as follows: Two trust compa-
MES closed their doors. The Maryland
Trust company was the first to an
nounce its suspension. This was fol-
lowed u few hours later by the clos
ing of the doors of the Union Trust
company. Allan McLane. third vice
president of the Maryland Trust COM
pany, was appointed TO take charge of

the company had their origin in the
OragniZation of the South and Western
railway in Virginia. in which Il capt.
talization of about $11 100000 was con-
templated. The Union company was
the fiscal agent for the Virginia en-
terpriSe just as the Maryland company
was the fiscal agent for the Mexican
railway.
Though these two failures followed
so closely it can be stated on unques-
toned authority that there was no con-
nection whatever between the two.
The Maryland Trust company and the
Union Trust company We're not joint

the suspension of one had no direct

Baltimore, Oct 2O.-EXcitement and

Luckily Il dozen reports well calcu-
lated to provoke n wholesale run on
banks got no further than the precincts
of South and German streets, Balti-
hlore's Wall street distric t, and did not
reach the great army of depOsitors

time for the conservative leaders of

before it reached dangerous proper
tiOns. The trouble began with the an
nouncement of the failure of the Mary
land Trust company.
No Necessity for IA Panic.
1t was agreed among the leaders,
and so given out, that there is moth

that temporary difficulties overlook

ed with suspicion. AS one of the most
influential bankers in Baltimore put it:
''Our financial institutions are strong

credit standing"
Depends on the Baltimore People.
Or as another leading banker, per-
haps the most prominent in Baltimore,
put it: cit all depends upon how the
people of Baltimore act. If they do
not lose their heads the trouble will

Two Signatures Wanting

ing.
OTHERS ARE AFFIXED
Decision to be Handed
to Agents of Two
Governments.

London, Oct. 2O-The engrossed
copy of the Alaskan boundary com
missions award was signed this after
noon, the Canadian commissioners,
Yette and Aylesworth. refusing to
sign the award because they consider
the finding of the tribunal regarding
the islands at the entrance of Port
land canal and the mountain line not
judicial one.
The award relating to the Portland
canal gives the United States two isl
ands. Kannaghunut and SitkIan, COM
manding the entrance to Portland
canal and the ocean passage to Port
Simpson, destroying the strategetic
value of Wales and Pearse islands,
which are given to Canada.
Gets Practically All.
The mountain line adopted as the
boundary lines are so far from the
coast as to give the United States
substantially all the territory in dis
pute. While the Canadians declined
to sign the award, they signed the
maps agreed on by the majority. Ow-
ing to the attitude of the Canadians,
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone decided
not to hold the proposed public meet
ing. but to hand the decision to the
agents of the American and Canadian
governments.
London. Get. 2O.-A draft of the
decision reached by the Alaska bOun-
dary commissioners as announced by
The Associated Press, has been signed
by a majority of the commissioners.
Messrs. AyleswOrth and Jette, the Ca
madam commissioners, refused to sign.
The decision grants all the United
States contentious with the exception
of the one relating to the Portland
canal. The signatOriess were Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone and Senator Lodge,
Senator Turner and Secretary Root,
the United States commissioners. They
constituted il majority and ensured
finality.
AyIeswsrth and Jette Walk Out.
AylcswOrth and Jette carried their
OutSpOken disapprCval of the decision
to the point of refusing to sign even
that section of the decision giving the
Portland canal to Canada, and they
emphasized their attitude by walking
out of the cabinet room in the foreign
office before the signatures of the 9th
erS had been affixed to the historic
document, which has already been
printed and is ready for the session
to be held.
Business is Nearly Completed.
The only thing remaining to be done
at this session is that the majority of
the tribunal complete and sign the ap
which accompanies the decision. and
which minutely determines the course
of the boundary in accordance with the
United States contentious contained in
question No. ). An engrossed copy
Of the decision also will be signed.
Creates "a Painful Expression.
The refusal of Messrs. AyleSworth
and Jctte to coincide in Lord Alver-
stones view was only known to
few persons here, but at the foreign
office and in high government circles
it has created Il painful impression.
There is no hope expressed that the
Canadian commissioners will reconsid-
er their attitude and sign the enCrossed
copy of the decision, which will stand
n sthe international record of the
tribunals finding.

POSITIVE EVIDENCE
APPEARS LACKING
Reason that Prosecution in Federal
Bribery Case
Failed.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-CharIes NJ.
Robb, assistant attorney general for the
postoffice department; Chief POstOffice
Inspector Cochran, and the other gov
ernment officials who attended the trial
of D. V. Miller and Joseph NJ. Johns
at Cincinnati have returned greatly
disappointed over the government s
failure to convict the two men, the
jury disagreeing. Another trial will
be held, but the officials are unable to
say when the case will be called.
The weak point-the lack of positive
testimony that the former government
employees received any mORey-iS the
same defect the department of justice
fears will develop in the other cases.
Attorneys for the government realize
that it will not be easy to show cOllu-
sion and division of money. In most
of the cases the evidence is circumStan-
tial, just as it was in the NIiller-Johns
case. In two or three instances, it is
said. the inspectors have been able to
get hold of Cancelled checks showing
that graft money actually went to
government employees, but in a major
ity of the trials the prosecution must
depend on circum%tantial evidence.
One of the cases against August w.
Machen, probably will be the next tax
en- up. The department of justice still
has large hope that Leopold Stern, the
Baltimore dealer in mail carriers
sachels. will turn states evidence in
this case. Stern is kept in Jail here
and for more than week has been
passing through the sweating" pro-
