FULLY 100000.

Pittsburg, Oct. 20.-The inv&etiga
tion of the affairs of the Enterprise
National bank of Allegheny City, Pa.
whose doors were closed Wednesday
afternoon by the comptroller of the
currency following the sensational sui
eide of I. Lee Clark, the cashier, is
making gooa progress.
The developments following the
tragedy and the closing of the bank
have been startling, involving as they
do the names of several prominent citi-
zens who have been active in state
politics.
According to the statements of Pres
1dent Gwinner the bank, through Cash
Ter Clark, had furnished most of the
funds used 30 float the Santa F'e Cen
tral Railway and the Pennsylvania
Development companies, in which for
mer State Senators w. H. Andrews and
Arthur Kennedy and Francis ]. Tor
rance were deeply interested, together
with Cashier Clark
The two projects are allied ones.
Former Senator Arthur Kennedy is
president of the Development COM
pany and former Senator w. H. An
drews is president of the railway.
Francis J. Torrance is heavily inter
ested in both concerns and his conf
dental man, w. S. Hagan, is secre-
tary of both companies. T. Lee Clark,
the dead cashier of the Enterprise, was
treasurer of both companies and the
bank was the custodian of their bonds,
which were held as security for the
loans.

AMERICANS MAY FISH.
Trouble Along Newfoundland Coast
Settled by Secretary Root.

Washington, Oct. 20.-After a con,
ference between Secretary Root and
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am
bassador, lasting for an hour and a
half, it was announced that a speedy
and satisfactory solution of the
Gloucester Newfoundland fisheries
controversy was in sight.
The facts obtained show that the
Newfoundland inspector of revenue
protection service directed that Amer
lean vessels should not be allowed to
fish under American register on the
ground that they had never done SO in
the past. Prior to this time the Amer
lean fishermen had bought bait in New
Morris tribune., 1905-10-21

foundland under fishing license. They
are now prevented by law from buy
ing bait and the authorities have been
unwilling to permit them to catch her
ring without fishing license.
Secretary Root informed the ambas-
sador that an American register is a
ships highest form of nationality and
carries with it not only license to
trade but also regular fishing license.
AS soon as this fact is made clear to
the Newfoundland authorities 1t is ex-
pected they will withdraw all objec-
tions. Meantime the American fisher
men, with the approval of the state de-
partment, have been instructed to con-
tinue their fishing.

The cashier was told by the direc.

through him and he promised to in
sure the bank against all loans for
which he was responsible. The sup
position is he was unable to accom-

CAMPBELL ESTATE To
RECONSTRUCT HOTEL

SAN JOSE, Mar. 12.-The Hotel St.
James is to be extensively renodeled
and improved with the intention of
making il one of the best equipped
commercial hotels in the State. The
OUTLAWS will be approximately $4,000.
This is the sum and substance of a
story given out last night by Albert
Bettens, the hotel manager. This in
teresting news comes as a result of the
late visit TO the city of the Campbell
estate representatives The latter left
a few days ago for their home in Homo
lulu, but before the departure authoriZ-
ed the above statement. That part of
the hotel formerly known as the Old
ST. James. which faces the Court House
square and adjoins the Annex, will be
completely Quilted to make room for IS
up-to-date suites fitted with all modern
conveniences. This will bring the en-
tire number of rooms exclusive of the
Annex up to 165, making a total, in
GLIDING the Annex, of 2S1, forming the
largest first-lass hotel in this vicinity.
Plans for the new rooms are already
in the hands of the architect and work
is expected to commence about the mid
die of April. Another improvement in
the Hotel st. James is the building of
a modern steam laundry plant, which
is now almost complete. The largest
steam washer ever shipped to this coast
was installed this week. This machine
is capable Of handling 800 pounds of
linen at one time and its own weight
is two tons. The above Improvements
will leave the st. James one of the most
modern hotels in the West.
The culinary department was remod-
eled a year ago at an expense of S15,-
900 and every modern device known to
the art was installed and the refriger-
ating system is said to be the most
complete on this coast.
A POPULAR HOTEL.
Ever since the Hotel st. James bios
somed out into a handsome structure
about five years ago the influx of COM
mercial travel and wealthy tourists has
steadily increased until now it can
claim to be to San Jose what the Pal
ace is to San Francisco.
The Campbell estate people have
more than once expressed a. strong re-
gard for the property, which is the sole
real estate in California under their
ownership, and it is more than likely
that in time even greater improvements
will be made.
