At South Omaha.

Omaha. July 27.-The board or nre
"a no1ice commissioners OF South
omaha decided last last night tnat thes
were unable to longer anora ample
oolice protection to the packing mouse
;nterests and asked Sheriff Power 10
meet them in conference with view
70 securing assistance from the county.
This conference was held last night
and as a result the sheriff TODAY
swore in a large number OF depu-
ties and took charge of the poilcelns
of the strike district at South omana.
The board of fire and police commls-
sioners will pass a resolution declaring
the necessity for such action. and the
county commissioners will meet ana
empower the sheriff to proceed in such
a manner as may seem to him neces-
sary.
This action, it is stated, is not taken
because of any unusual violence on the
part of the strikers. but because the
police department of South Omaha, in
its organization, does not anticipate the
patrolling of so large district, and
that the city is not in position to en-
large the force sufficiently to meet the
emergency.

FORGED PAPER
FOUND AT GRINNELL
Admitted by Directors Of Grinnell Bank That
Large Shortage Was Caused by
Forged Notes
Not Yet Known What the Amount Will Be-Examiner Shaw
Appointed Receiver-Beeved That Cash Hand and
Stockholders Assessment Will Pay Out-Rumors Are Many
and Large But Can Not Be Verified

Grinnell. July PIE. B, Shaw, OF
West Union, Iowa, national bank ex-
aminer, was today placed in charge of
the First National bank as receiver.
Stories leaking from several OF those
who know now point very strongly to
conditions much worse than was ex-
pected. 1t is told from mouth to mouth
in Grinnell by business men who were
depositors at the bank that large
amount of forged paper has already
been discovered. aggregating over
500, 900. At least two directors have
admitted that they have been ruined
by the failure and 1t is almost certain
that the loss of their stock investment
and a possible assessment will wipe out
all that some of them have in the
world. 1t is not yet known whether
the depositors will suffer. The bank.
on July 5. had $4,000 in cash on hand
and deposit showing of $321.000. One
depositor claims. however. that the
deposit account has been stuffed very
greatly for the purpose OF making
good showing for the bank and If this
is true the forged paper could he ac-
counted for as a stuffed asset to Offset
the Fictitious deposits with no real
harm done to the bank. The examiner
is mt work and refuses to make state
mant Directors themselves admit that
forged paper has been found III sarse

Regarded as Breach of

DIPLOMATIC CRISIS IMMINENT
British Government Looks Upon the
Sinking of the Knight Commander of
More Serious Consequences Than the
Malacca Incident-Russa Sees Trou-
BILE Ahead.

+ London. July 27.-The government is
sending instructions to the British am
bassador TO Russia today to energet-
ically protest against the sinking of the
steamer Knight Commander. by the
Russian Nladivostok squadron. Until
presentation of the note the greatest
secrecy is being maintained regarding

mand that the fullest reparation shall
be made by Russia, or measures will
be taken to follow up the diplomatic
demands. 1t is felt in government cir
cles that the knight Commander Incl
dent overshadows the Red sea seizures,
which practically have been adjusted.
but which failed to settle the question
of the rights of neutral commerce.
The British note will not mention the
amount of indemnity Russia must pay

jects having goods on board the yes
sci, but all that will be sought will
indemnity and apology. Salute of the
British flag must also be conceded and
future protection of neutral shipping
assured The attitude of the british
government is the result of thorough
consideration given to the report re-
ceived from Minister Mcdonald at
Toxic and examination Of information
al law authorities by legal experts.
McDonald's dispatches confirm the re-
port that the knight Commander had
no contraband of war on board for the
Japanese government and all British
authorities. il is asserted, unite on the
point that there w. no justitit asion
for the sinking of the vessel.
London, July 2T.--That the British
government regards the sinking of the
Knight Commander as breach OF In
ternational law, was confirmed by
Premier Balfour in the house of COM
mons this afternoon.
ST. Petersburg, July 27.-The Russian
press has been significantly silent for
three DAYS past regarding complica-
tions over the acts of Red sea cruisers.
Not a single word of comment appears
concerning the SINKING oA .uS hsns
Commander. There is no doubt the
government has requested the papers
to refrain from printing their views on
the affair. The government deprecates
the provocative attitude of the British
press, and probably does not desire
that Russian papers shall add fuel to
the fame. The imperial ukase has been
issued placing seven merchantmen pur-
chased abroad lately on the navy list,
four of them as second class cruisers.
There is no reason to believe the
cruisers viii be sent Immediately to the
Red sea to replace the volunteer fleet
az steamers. the war status Of which is
in dispute.
