DOUBTFUL SECURITIES
Creditors in Petition to
Court Charge Directors
With Making Bad Loans


DENVER, Aug. 19.-Judge John l. Null
Inns in the Distritc Court to-day appoint
ed Guy Leroy Stevick receiver for the
Denver Savings Bank, and the bank Is
closed
Depositors Of savings. who had been
permitted to draw only 10 per cent OF
their funds since August 8. when a run
on the bank began, petitioned the court
to take charge of the institution. and the
officers in charge consented to-day TO
have receiver appointed.
The bank had over 5000 depositore,
whose savings deposits aggregated 81 ,a0o,
0CO. and there were also checking ac-
counts aggregating several hundred thou
sand dollars before the run.
In the petition for receivership 1t Is
charged that more than $500, 900 had been
loaned to Leonard B. 1mboden and asso-
ciates on securities of doubtful value.
The officers Of the bank to-day filed an
answer to the petition, denying that the
loans complained of were made on fcti-
tious securities. The Bank OF North
America of New York holds 14OO shares,
a majority Of the banks stock, as Sc
curity for a loan of 10000. These shares
stand on the banks books in the name
of C. B. Wilfey, but in reality, it is said,
were controlled by Imboden. Wilf1ey has
stated that he never purchased or had
any legal title to this stock. j. A. Hill.

represented the Imboden interests, Is ab-

THOUSANDS IN REBATES

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1s.-Contempt
proceedings, charging violation OF the
order of District Judge John f. Philips,
issued In March, 1902, restraining the
defendants from giving rebates In vlo-
lation of the interstate commerce law,
were filed here to-day In the United
States District Court against the Chi
cago and Alton, the Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy, the Union Pacific, the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific and the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
companies.
The contempt proceedings allege spe-
cifcally in the case OF the Chicago ana
Alton that the company granted rebates
amounting to many thousands OF dol
lars on the shipments of agricultural
and farming machinery to the 1nterna-
tional Harvester Company, which owns
and controls the Deering Harvester
Company, the Mccormick Harvester
Company, the Plano Harvester Com
pany. the South Chicago Furnace Com
pany and the Illinois Northern Railroad
Company.
1t is alleged that the Chicago and AL
ton agreed with the Illinois Northern
Railroad Company to file with the In
terstate Commerce Commission pre-
tended Joint tariffs on joint freight
rates effective from Chicago TO Missouri
River points, for the express purpose or
evading the restraining order. and that
the Alton agreed and did in fact give to
the International Harvester Company
25 per cent of SAID pretended joint tar
If rates The proceedings against the
Burlington Railroad are practically
identical with those against the Alton.
The proceedings against the Missouri
Pacific, the Rock Island and the Santa
Fe railroads allege that in like manner
these companies violated the restrain
ing order by giving rebates to the
Hutchinson (Kans.) Salt Company, In
collusion with the Hutchinson and Ar
kansas River Railroad. which latter
company is controlled and operated by
! the salt company. These railroad COM
panies are alleged to have given the
salt company % per cent of a pretend

DoWIE's CRUSADE FALLS
FLAT IN SINFUL PARIS
Police Have No Intention of Running
Risk of Disturbance Did Au-
thOrities in London

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The outlook for Dow
les projected crusade against Partisan
vice is more than unfavorable at the pres
ent moment. Although a few of the for
mer meetings here addressed by Elijah II
were orderly on the whole and there was
practically no public interest taken, yet
the police have no intention of running
any risk Of such disturbances as have
happened during the Dowie campaign in
London. Therefore, counting on the ad-
nirable attention the French proprietors
give their chief of police, che latter has
simply strongly advised" the owners of
all Paris halls not to accept any offers
coming from the Chicago prophet.
Dowie will be reduced to holding his
salvation meetings on the open square,
which viii bring him so sharply under
police surveillance that his discontinue
may be discounted in advance. AS far
as Dowie is concerned. Paris wickedness
is likely to continue for some time to
come.

SOURCE OF SHAH'S CASH
MYSTERY TO PARISIANS
Persian Ruler, Having Reached Limit
of Credit, Continues to Travel
In Luxurious style.

Persian Hulef, haVlnS ncuCnCu AAhAAh&
of Credit, Continues to Travel
In Luxurious style.
PARIS, Aug. 19.-The visit of the
Shah of Persia impresses one that the
soyereign's Golfers must be we'll filed.
But how Muzaffer Ed-Din can afford to
travel in the imperial style that sur
rounds him surpasses any understand
ing. He has q suite of sixty gentlemen,
including viziers, chamberlains and
others Of his court.
No wonder that stories are current
that many trunks of the King of
Kings are filled with gold. But where
doesA he get the money? Persia has
owed $17,0O0,0O0 to Russian bank
since 1902, and until this is paid can
contract no other foreign loan with
out that banks permission.
The Shah's menials are rather more
numerous than the gentlemen of his
suite, which numbers altogether 127
They all occupied much of the Elysee
Hotel, which goes in successfully for
grand style, and therefore attracts in
Vulnerable millionaires, who consider it
cheap because there are five francs in
dollar.
The first and second floors of the
hotel, the Shah's own rooms-with ev-
cry kind of hot and cold baths-are
known as the King OF the Bclgians'.
The Juvenile Princes and their governor
have the apartments of Tom Walsh Of
Colorado-that is to say. the apart
ments assigned to Walsh when he and
Leopold. his friend, stay at the same
time at the Elysee Palace.
At Centrexville the Persans had an
entire hotel to themselves in the park.
This is the dearest of the vosges
watering places.
At Ostend they will not have less
spacious lodgings. They will stay there
for about a fortnight or longer II the
Shah finds himself strengthened by the
air. They then go on to The Hague to
visit Queen Wilhelmina, whose hus-
band wants to make up to the Shah.
but not probably to the extent of pay
ing the hotel bills. Think what a suite
for 127 will cost in The Netherlands.
In returning home the Shah will visit
Berlin and st. Petersburg.

SPURN WOMAN AS WITCH
AND LEAVE HER TO DIE
Curious Illustration of How Some PcO-
pie Cling to Ancient Superstf-
tiOus shown in England.

tiOus SHOWN In England
LONDON, Aug. ia curious case;
classes still cling to the ancient belief
in witchcraft, occurred in a village
near Downham Market, Norfolk.
a lonely old woman, who was in re-
ceipt of parish relief, fell i'll. and when
visited by the relieving officer was
found to be in a state of collapse prob
ably owing to the fact that she had
been without food or drink for three
days.
Ger deemed the services of. a nurse nee
essary, and on trying to procure one
was sastounded at the refusals he met
with on all sides. The neighbors al
legged that the old woman was witch.
and several of them declared that they
were or had been, under her uncanny
power.
Says She Conversed With Evil Spirit.
After many attempts the officer sue
ceeded in persuading a woman, also in
receipt of relief, to look after the old
woman, but during her first nights
vigil the nurses experiences were such
that no money would tempt her to stay
any longer. She alleged that the pa
tient who was probably delirious, con-
versed with the evil one, and that the
scenes were terrible to behold and their
talk was of most appalling character.
Another nurse whom the officer per-
suaded to stay with the old woman told
a similar story, and at last he secured
the services of two women.
The patient ultimately died, and after
her death more trouble was experienced
In getting the body into the coffin, and
the officer had to perform that duty
himself.
The old women in attendance de-
clared that among other preparations
found in the old woman's cottage were
bottles containing dragons blood.
