PREPARING TO LIFT NOTES

Men Accused Of Wrecking Bank VIII
Pay Every Dollar They Owe.
Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 25. - Arrange
ments are being made, it is said, to at
once lift from the wrecked Enterprise
National Bank any paper bearing the
names of the Pennsylvania Develop
ment company, the Santa Fe Central
railroad or w. H. Andrews; Francis
J. Torrance and Arthur Kennedy, rs
indorsers for these companies. Attor-
ney Walter Lyon, counsel for the men
interested, said I'VE have become
tired Of the charge that money loaned
on bad collateral to those companies
caused the closing of the bank, and
we propose to stop such talk in the
most effective way. We will at once
pay every dollar of paper in which
any one connected with these com
panies is interested, even if it is not
due"
It is believed that when Receiver
Cunningham makes known his report
the banks loss will be considerably
less than $1,0OO,O0O, as was first re-
ported. This diminution of the short |
age, It is said, has been brought about |
by the payment of many of the notes, |
and the obligations in the possession |
Of the bank when it closed may never
be known.
It was learned that Bank Examiner
Cunningham, while making an eXami-
nation of the Bank of Pittsburg, N.
A., found a discrepancy between the
reports made to the Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely, by the Bank of
Pittsburg, N. A.. and the Enterprise
National Bank, of Allegheny, which led
to the closing Of the latter institution.
Acting Attorney General Hoyt has di-
rected United States District Attorney
John NJ Dunkle to make a thorough
into the affairs Of the
National Bank, with a view
to criminal proceedings if the evidence
warrants such a course.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 24.-Count Witte,
it now seems, has definitely come into
imperial favor, and the shrewdest OBJ
servers now consider it certain that
he will shortly be in active direction
Of the government as premier and head
Of a responsible cabinet. Since his re-
turn from the United States, Count
Witte has boldly ranged himself on
the side of the Liberals and has not
only advocated complete liberty OF
speech, of the press and of assembly
as a necessary corollary of the coming
douma, but has urged the extension Of
the powers Of the douma along the
lines demanded by the reformers as
well as a broader franchise so as to
admit Of fuller representation from the
ranks of labor and the cultured classes.

they neared the town, as he helped her
down declivity into the roadway, he
