plus of $4,000 900 For Right
of-Way of Canal.

view of treasury operations for the

imports were free of duty. while in

payment out of accumulated surplus Of
$50, 900, 900 for the right-of-way of the
Panama canal, the redemption of the
outstanding five per cent. bonds, due
February 1, 1904, and the various calls
on the national bank depositaries for
the return of a portion of their public
deposits.
The redemption of fives during the
calendar year was approximately &c.
600, 900. Public funds on deposit with
the banks were reduced from $780,
GOO, 900, January 1, 1904, 10 Sl13, 600, 900

further reduce these deposits and re-
plenish the cash in the general fund

OHIO BANKERS ARRESTED
Officers of Defunct National Bank at
C~ornenut, o., Charged VITA NiO-
Iating the banking Laws.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 31.-Cashier O. G.
Lille and President C. NJ. Traver of
the First national bank of Conneaut,
O., were placed under arrest Friday af-
ternoon at Conneaut by United States
Marshal Chandler upon a warrant
charging the bankers with a violation
of the national banking laws, the spe-
cifc charge in Mr.. Lilies case being
the making of a false entry in the
books of the bank. Mr.. Traver is
charged in the warrant with being an
accomplice Of the cashier in the al
legged Justification. Cashier Lille, Fri
day evening, waived preliminary ex-
animation, and gave bail in the sum
of SO, 1000.
President Traver, in charge of a
deputy marshal, is on his way to
Cleveland from Conneaut. The First
national bank of Conneaut closed it's
doors nearly two weeks ago, after a
run upon it the preceding day. The
bank has a capital stock of $4,000.
The cause of the run, the banker
said, at the time, was that the report
had gained currency that Mrs. Chad
wick had succeeded in securing large
loans from it. The bank officials deny
holding any Chadwick paper.

WILL CONTINUE The STRIKE
No Settlement of Fall River Con-
test Now in Sight.
The Labor Unions, By "a Vote of
Three to One, Approve COntinu-
ance off the Fight.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 31.-The Ia
Dor unions, involved since last July
in a strike against a 1914 per cent.
reduction in wages in the cotton mills,
by a vote of approximately three to
n approved a continuance of the
contest.
The call for meetings Of the unions
TO vote on a continuance Of the con-
test was prompted by an agitation of
the question whether the employees
should return to work for the winter
under the reduction and renew the
strike. later if wages were not ad-
yanced. 1t was also stated in mill cir
cles that the majority of the union
men were ready to return to work, but
that the leaders were keeping them
from doing SO. Accordingly, it was de-
cided to submit the question to a vote,
with the result that in 3 total of 1921
ballots cast, there was a majority of
971 in favor of continuing.
IhlS was the first formal vote on the
question taken since the action of the
unions in July inaugurating the
strike.
The labor secretaries say the vote
shows that the union operatives are
just as determined as ever to continue
the struggle. The union operatives,
they assert, reflect the opinion of a
large majority of the help who are not
affiliated with any of the unions.
The manufacturers expressed disap-
pointment at the action taken by the
unions. They said, however, that there
was no hope of a restoration of the
1914 per cent. reduction, and they pro-
posed to continue attempts to run the
mills under the same conditions as
they have for the last seven weeks.

THAT GEORGIA
COTTON BURNING
The Fort Gaines Affair Appears to
Have Been Exaggerated.
SIMMERED DOWN TO ONE BALE
No Immediate Prospect S1 other
Counties in the State sacrificing
the Bird in Hand for One
in the Bush.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 31.-The reports OF
the burning of cotton at Fort Gaines,
Clay county, Ca, were considerably
exaggerated. AS a matter OF fact, one
bale of cotton was burned in the
mass meeting of planters, who passed
resolutions declaring they were willing
to burn their interests in the 2,OOo,OOO
bales representing the excess crop pro
Guced in the cotton states.
At the adjournment of the meeting
fire was set TO one bale at the princl-
pal street corner, seemingly as an evil
dence of good faith, and the crowd
watched it until it was consumed. The
burning was accomplished by great
ceremony, and followed by still greater
excitement. Other counties all over
the state were urged to follow the eX-
ample that the market may be rid OF
the surplus.
There does not appear 20 be any dan
ger of other counties in the state fol-
lowing suit.

Presented to David II.

st. Louis, Dec. 31.-His manly
breast loaded with foreign decorations
from that of Knight of the Legion OF
Honor of France, to Child of the Ris-
ing Sun of Japan; clad in his court
suit, in which he appeared before Ed
ward VII, and riding astride the
Arabian stallion presented by the sui
tan of Morocco, President David r.
Francis now has a $4,000 Chinese
pagoda. through whose teak wood
gates he could easily ride his Arabian
steed.
The beautiful and costly Chinese
pavilion, a replica of one of the pal
aces of Prince Pu Lun. imperial high
commissioner from China to the
Worlds fair. has been presented to
President Francis by Wong Kai Kah,
The gift was the personal act of the
imperial prince, to whom President
Francis has cabled his acceptance
through Mr.. Conger, the American
minister to China.
That the gift is of truly royal mag
nificence there can be no doubt.
All the materials were imported
from the orient, and its incompatible
carvings are of priceless value and
beauty.
What to do with it is another ques-
ton.
President Francis was SO over
whelmed with the magnitude of the
present that he has not been able tc
think of its future use.
If someone had presented him with
a white elephant, literally, he could
not have been more dazed, that is if
