KILLS SELF TO PAY DEBTS
HEAD OF TWO DEFUNCT BANKS
COMMITS SUICIDE.
Shortage of 100000 Can BE Made
Good When Insurance Policies on
Life Are Collected.

Macon, Ca, May 23.-Realizing that
he was financially wrecked and that he
would be worth more to his creditors
as corpse than while living, r. H.
Plant, once a millionaire banker, arose
from sick bed, put on his bathrobe
and slippers, and asked his nurse to
assist him to the bathroom Then,
passing through the bathroom, he went
to the back porch and sent pistol ball
through his head Saturday afternoon.
He died without word. Nothing by
way of explanation was found He
carried 100000 life insurance Of this
$4,000 was incumbered to secure debts.
Besides this he carried $250000 in IA
vor of his wife. He told a friend five
years ago that he had 100000 Sc
cured to his wife and children so that
ness reverses overlook him.
Those who knew him intimately say
they are satisfied that when the re-
ceiver for his two banks published a
day or two ago that his net liabilities
were 100000, the figures became SO
fixed in his mind and he realized that
the only way for him to pay his debts
was by suicide His total liabilities
are upwards of $2,000,0OO He was pro-
prietor of the l. G. Plants Sons private
bank, which was established here half
a century ago, and he was president of
the First national bank.
He asserted that he had not known
his distressing financial predicament
until bank examiner reached here
last Saturday and demanded 100000
represented by due bill held against
r. H. Plant in the national bank.
When 100000 was taken out of the
private bank it exhausted the funds of
the latter.
When notified of this in his sick
room on Sunday he ordered the private
bank closed. A run on the national
bank was started and the directors
closed it early Monday morning.
Mr.. Plant was the general agent of
the New York Life Insurance company
for years. He secured investments of
life insurance money paid by the COM
pany to beneiciaries of policies. There
fore hundreds of widows and orphans
were heavy losers by his failure. He

this account that his misfortune wrung

The steady increase in the price of
raw cotton during the last two years
is due primarily to the fact that the
demand has been outrunning the sup
ply, and the shortage of labor in the
south. To increase the area of cult
walton more laborers and small
growers are needed, and the great need
of the south is larger share of the
current of immigration now flowing so
freely to our shores. Since a very
large proportion of this immigration
is from southern Europe there seems
to be no reason why a share of it can
not be diverted to our southern states.
