EXAMINER REMOVED.
Failed to Discover Conditions Existing
In Enterprise National Bank.


Washington, Nov. 6.-The comrtrol-
Ter Of the currency Saturday removed
from service Bank Examiner r. H.
Mattern, on account Of his failure to
discover the conditions existing In the
Enterprise National bank Of Ale
gheny City, Pa. The investigation
showed that the conditions leading to
the failure of that bank had existed
for some time.
Owen T. Reeves, Jr., has been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Reeves has been an assistant
bank examiner in New York city.
Examiner Mattern's case has been
carefully investigated, and he has been
given a full opportunity to be heard
in his own defense. According to a
statement issued by Mr.. Ridgely, there
is not the slightest ground for sus-
picion of any criminal intent on the
part of Mr.. Mattern, or any corrupt
collusion with the officers of the bank.
He was, however, it is claimed, entire
ly too credulous in his acceptance Cf
their statements, and careless and in
efficient in his examinations.
Mr.. Reeves, who replaces Mattcrn,
was at one time acting chief Of the
reports division in the comptrollcr's
office. He has had several years ex-
perience as assistant bank examiner
in New York and other states. He
has been detailed to the department
Of justice in many important criminal
cases, notably those at Medina, Ere
donla and Syracuse. N. Y.

Boston, Nov. 7-Medical Examiner

Mrs. Geary, the mother of Miss Geary,
the missing chorus girl, who is sup
posed to be the victim of the suit case
murder, viewed the head. The shock
of seeing the features of the girl, be-
lieved to be her daughter, proved to
be more than the mother could Lear.
Medical assistance was needed while
she was passing through the ordeal,
and shortly after it was over she was
conveyed to her home in condition of
prostration.

RIunder In Making UP Ballots.

Kingston, N. Y, Nov. 7.-When bal
lots for the township of Rochester, Ul-
ster county, were distributed to elec.
ton officials yesterday Leroy C. Kel-
ller, Republican nominee for town
clerk, discovered that his name was
not on the ticket, but instead the name
of Leroy C. Baker had been placed on
the ballots. Baker and Keller are
neighbors. Discovery of the mistake
was equally surprising to both. Baker
has no political aspirations. The sec
retary of the town caucus acknowl-
edged that he had unintentionally
blundered in making up the ballot, and
Supreme Court Justice Hasbrouck
granted an order for the printing of
new ones. These were delivered to
the officials last night.

LOVER KILLED HER FATHER.
According to the Confession Of Cert
rude O'Hara.

Mineola, l., l., Nov. 7. - Gertrude
O'Hara, whose father, Patrick O'Hara,
was murdered last August, told the po
lice today that her sweetheart, Cleve-
land Poole, killed her father. Accord
ing to the girls confession Poole came
to her within an hour after the fathers
death telling her the details of the
crime, and both she and her mother
knew where O'Hara's body lay for
over month before it was found by
strangers and brought home.
O'Hara disappeared on Aug. 13 and
his body was found on Sept. 20 bearing
several bullet wounds.
Cleveland Poole was arrested by the
police, who were holding him for ex-
animation by the grand jury when
Gertrude O'Hara confessed. The girls
confession was brought about through
her arrest yesterday together with her
mother on the charge of being acces-
sorry to the crime.

Reward For Mlddletown Murderer

1t is announced that sufficient evil
dence has been secured to convict
Charles Henry Rogers of Middletcwn,
N. Y, of the murders of Fred
and Willis Olney and Alice Ingerick.
and the murderous assault on Mrs.
Georgia Ingerick, mother Of the girl.
Rogers, who was motorman on the
electric railroad, disappeared soon
after the murders He is also charged
with issuing worthless checks about
the time of the murders and the re-
ward of 81 900 recently was offered for
his arrest for grand larceny A re-
ward of $500 also was offered by tho
county authorities for the conviction
of the murderer.
There Is suspicion that Rogers
committed suicide soon after he dis
appeared, but many believe he is hid
ing in the woods near by.

Carlisle, Pa, Nov 6.-Miss Minerva
White, the lone tollgate keeper at
Mount Holly Gap, died the other day,
aged 76 years. She had been the

years before that had assisted her
mother, her predecessor. In the gar

was evidently the accumulation of
many years. 1t was gathered up by
Joshua P. Bixler and brought to Car

pointed. 1t is not known that she has

dent of the United States of America
A Proclamation.
When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re.
public, they fronted not only hardship
and privation but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day in each
year for a special service of thanks.
giving to the Almighty for preserving
the people through the changing sea.
sons.
The custom has now become natioL.
al and hallowed by immemorial usage
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers. the mel
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days; and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history.
1t is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart day
for praise and thanksgiving to the
Giver Of Good and, at the same time.
that they express their thankfulness
for the abundant mercies received
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive
to overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bus.
mess prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
a level of material we'll being as ours
now stands. We are not threatened
by foes from without. The foes from
whom we should pray to be delivered
are our own passions, appetites and
follies; and against these there Is al
ways need that we should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of this November, as
day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future, and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship, and In rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to a life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that
this nation may do its allotted work on
the earth in manner worthy of those
who founded it and Of those who pre-
served 1t.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
2nd day of November In the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
thirtieth.

WITTE AN UNPOPULAR MAN.
Says Mr.. Stead, Who Fears For Amerl.
can Residents In St. Petersburg.

can hcSlucTtS III OF. TStCTSpuISs
Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov w.
T. Stead, who has arrived here from
Russia, visited the American minis
ter, Thomas ]. O'Brien, and asked
whether any American warships were
near at hand for the protection of the
American residents of st. Petersburg,
In case the situation grew worse. Mr..
O'Brien said that no American ships
were nearby. Moreover, he was not an
alarmist regarding the situation at st.
Petersburg.
Mr.. Stead said: while hope for the
best 1t will be wise to be prepared for
the worst. No one knows what will
happen. The American colony would
feel comfortable if vessels under the
stars and stripes were within call in
case the worst comes to the worst"
Mr.. Stead said that he feared the
emperor's manifesto for liberal reforms
in Russia had come too late to secure
Its early peaceful acceptance by the
whole people. He was optimistic,
however, on the eventual outcome.
"The question is," said Mr.. Stead,
"can Witte, who undoubtedly is most
unpopular man, rally the whole con
stitutional party and induce the whole
people to put their trust In promises
of a new liberty If he can, then there
is chance of improving the situation.
Count Witte is clever man, and GER
talnly now has the full support Of the
emperor. Unfortunately, however. no.
body else has confidence in Wi;te, who
himself places no confidence in aby-
body"
