KANSAS CITY BANKS
WEATHER THE STORM
NO RUNS ARE MADE ON OTHER IN
STITUTIONS AS RESULT OF THE
FAILURE OF THE CITY MA
TIONAL.

Kansas City, July 20,-Up to the close
of banking hours no furry affecting other
local institutions had followed the fall
Kansas City.
Nothing bordering on a run was exper-
fenced at any of the other local banks,
and according to the officers at each
place. none was ex Dected. The City Ma
tional had been in a weakened condition
for some time. It's failure had BEEN an
ticipated, and therefore, no surprise was
shown In banking circles today when
the announcement was made that 1t had
been taken in charge by National Bank
Examiner Ames. Neither Mr.. Ames nor
the failed banks officials or It's attor-
neys were in position TO make a defin-
lite statement regarding the banks con-
6ition.
The failure of the City National bank
Of Kansas City was due In great meas
ure to the fact that 1t held upwards of
100000 of C. j. Devlin's paper. which is
tied up In the recent failure of the First
National bank Of Topeka of which Mr..
Devlin was the principal stoekholder. The
only other Kansas city bank that mad
held Devlin paper was the American Ma
tional. c. s. Jobez, president of the Amer
lean National bank stated today that
sS67,OO0 of Devlln paper, held at the time
of the Topeka failure. had been purchased
since then from the American National
bank by its directors.
Thus 1t was stated there was no cause
for run on the American National. In
deed. 1t was announced by a member of
the Kansas City clearing house that no
other Kansas City bank would be per-
mitted TO fail in case Of a run, which
was not expected.

to 1t tonight, pointing out the Importance
of the Russian statemans declaration
The Temps says that M. Whites state
ment was most happy recalling that he
was a partisan of peace even before the
war began, not mere retrospective par
tisan but because he Is now in better
position to restore peace than one who
assisted in the rupture.
Moreover continues the Temps, M.
Whites statement shows that war was
not Inevitable and tnat the observance or
the wise counsels of NJ. Witte might have
averted war This, however, does not mean
that M. witte is resigned to make more
cruel sacrifices than any other nego-
tiator as he Is unable to make concessions
beyond a point which the Emperor him
self has fixed
The Temps adds:
.It is no bluff that NJ. Witte so fully
develops in his declaration to the As
ISOLATED Press. The japanese should tako
good account of NJ. Whites state of mind.
Russia despite her losses Is far from be-
ing crushed. 1t would therefore be absurd
for Japan to attempt to impose extreme
conditions and If exigences force her to
demand humiliatin; terms then the sue
cess of the peace negotiations is ire

30 LIVES LOST IN
CHICAGO STRIKE
Great Labor UpheaVa Results
in Defeat
UNIONS WIN BUT ONE POINT
Lumbermen VIII Be Allowed to Wear
the Union Button--Men VIII
Seek Their Old Jobs
Today.
UNIONS WIN BUT ONE POINT

Chicago. July 20.--The end of the team
sters' strike that has so greatly disturbed
business conditions in this city for the
last three months, is at hand
The strikers have made complete sur
render, and will tomorrow seek their old
positions without an agreement of any
kind with the Employers association
The first break in the ranks of the
strikers came this afternoon when the
lumber teansters voted to return to work,
regardless of what action might be taken
by any other union. Tonight the depart
ment store drivers and the railway ex-
press drivers voted to call off the strike
and seek their old positions in the MORN
ing 1t Is expected that about GO per cent
of the department store drivers will be re-
instated and the express drivers declared
tonight that they believed about 100 OF
their number would be taken back by the
express companies. The express companies
have declared all through the strike, how
ever, that not one of the men who struck
would ever be reinstated.
No Doubt of Result.
Tomorrow the truck drivers and one or
two smaller unions will vote on the ques-
tion of calling off the strike, but there Is
no doubt that they will decide TO seek
their old places again. The officials OF the
Transfers union declare that they expect
such action to be taken. The only conces-
sion that the men have gained by going
back to work is in the case of the lumber
drivers-the right to wear the union but
ton. In the case of all other unions, the
men by seeking their old places tactly
agree to the terms of the employers,
which were that only such men would be
taken back as were needed after the non
union men had been provided foF. and that
The question of wearing the union button
should be left to the decision of the in
dividual employer.
Has Been Bitterly Fought.
The strike has been one of the most an
noying, bitterly fought and expensive af-
fairs of its kind that Chicago has ever
known. 1t originated last winter over the
demand of the Garment Workers associa-
tion that the firm of Montgomery, Ward &
Co. refrain from sending out any work to
non-union men, although there was in the
contract DttWttn w w. dhu thS
unions no clause prohibiting such action.
The garment workers employed by Ward
& Co. went on strike, and their places
were filled by non-union men. -Four
months after the strike of the garment
workers the Transfers union called on
Ward &. Co. to arbitrate the question.
The refusal of Ward & Co. was followed
by strike of all the teamsrers in their
employ, and the strike rapidly spread to
such other business houses as attempted
to make deliveries to Ward & Co. About
thirty lives were lost during the strike.
and there have been hundreds of cases of
assault, in many of which the victims
were seriously injured.
