L. Cowart of the suspended Nayesink
national bank, at Redbank, n, j., has
confessed to Bank Examiner w, A. Ma
son, who is acting as receiver, that he
embezzled $4,000 of the banks funds.
Cowart was prevailed upon to make
confession and restitution by Receiver
Mason, who told him to do so would
go a long way in mitigating Is punish
ment.
Cowart said he had diverted the
funds first to pay dividends on the
banks stock in order to keep up its
price, and later he began taking money
to keep up the extravagant style of liv-
ing he INDUCED in at Asbury Park,
where he mingled with fast set and
lived at an extravagant pace, which his
salary did not justify No iniling Of
mis- double life was ever had by his
business associates in Redbank.
Desperate efforts were made to keep
the Navesink national bank open, and
New York bank offered assistance,
but the run of depOsitors was so great
that it was forced to close its doors.

PROTEST EXTRA SESSION
Members Of Congress Prefer Novem.
Der to October.
Efforts to Have President Abandon
Decision of Setting Opening
Earlier Than Intended.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Protests from
both members and senators are being
received against the proposal to call
the extra session Of the congress in Oc-
tober, A number Of frantic telegrams
have come suggesting that members Of
the administration here use their infiu-
ence with the president in an effort to
have him abandon the reported decl-
sion Of setting the opening day much
earlier than was originally intended. In
at least two instances these kilograms
were answered by the statement that
their contents would be made known to
the president, and that no definite de-
cision had been reached as 10 the date
and none will be until all interested
have been heard.
It would seem that the suggestion
for an earlier day for the meeting OF
congress not only fails to receive IA
yorable response, but has brought pro-
tests to oyster Bay, A correspondent
who has just come from there says that
Mr. Roosevelt was quite surprised by
the feeling shown, and that he dis
claimed responsibility for originating
the suggestion and pointed out that il
came from senatorial callers. AS
viewed here the advantages Of assem-
bling congress in October are more
than offset by its disadvantages II
such a course is persisted in, it is not
thought possible to bring to Washing
ton the senators and members who
have local elections in course in theil
states. They would demand, as one Of
them stated in telegram, even if the
session is called, that nothing be done
until the full membership can leave
their states and participate in the dis
cussion No strong objection has beer
made against the extra session for No

lar to that of the other professional
schools, as the law school, the school
of medicine and the school Of mines,
and, like them, will be national in
scope

'Sion of this school will be an ad-

course Of instruction. Seven members
Of this advisory board have already
been named, and, with others to be Sc
lected, will be nominated to the trus-

for this profession, be equivalent tC
what other professional schools supply
for other professions, while young
men already engaged upon the newspa
