Statement to Creditors.

Kansas City. July A creditors
committee, so-called, which was
named late yesterday to form some
plan for continuing the different Dew
lin concerns, will meet at Kansas City
late today. Charles S. Gleed, presi-
dent of the Missouri and Kansas Tel
ephone company, who 1t is stateS is
to be president of the Missouri hold
ing corporation formed last week to
manage the properties, went to To-
peka early today, as did also A. A.
McClanahan, representing the Conti-
mental Trust company of Chicago, to
talk over the situation with officers
of the failed First National bank, and
probably with Mr.. Devlin himself.
Both these men are members of the
committee appointed here last night.
G. S. -Jobes, president of the American
National bank of Kansas City, who is
chairman of the committee, stated to-
day that the plans of the committee
as formulated at this time include
the drafting of statement to credit
ers on which a basis of agreement of
the future management of the Devlin
estate can be made. This statement,
Mr.. Jobes said, viii probably be
mailed to all creditors tonight He
was not in a position to state in ad-
vance what suggestions the statement
would contain.

MITCHELL GUILTY,
Oregon U. s. Senator Is Convict.
ed of Violating Law
Which Prohibits Him From
Selling His Services.
.PRACTICED FOR PAY
Before the Government Depart
ment at Washington.
New Trial Is Moved and Hearing
Set for Monday.

Portland. Ore, July 4.-Amidst a
din and clatter of fireworks, exploded
in honor of the natal day of the coun-
try he had served as United States
senator during p years of his life,
John H Mitchell listened to the words
pronouncing him guilty of having
violated that law which precIuded him
as a United States senator from ac-
cepting pay for practicing before the
departments of the federal govern
ment. Those who had witnessed the
trial or who knew Senator Mitchelps
great popularity in this state were SO
fully impressed with the belief that
failure of the jury to come to an i'm
mediate verdict meant disagreement
tndt When 1t was announced that the
jury had arrived at a decision hardly
any but the little group of newspaper
men remained. N
With almost electric swiftness, how,
ever, the news circulated and WhSiy
the bailiffS who had been sent sour
rying to bring to the court Judge De-
haven, United States District Attorneyf
Heney, Senator Mitchell and his att
torneys, Judge Bennett and Senator
Thurston had notified the interested
parties and had secured their pres
ence, the room was more than COM
fortably filled.
Senator Mitchell was the first to an
pear, then Judge Dehaven and Judge
Bennett. Mr.. Heney was not present
and Senator Thurston did not reach
the court room until the verdict had
been read.
''It Was Guilty.
Judge Dehaven almost Immediately
directed that the jury be brought in
and they filed in from the jury room to
their box. The judge inquired whether
the verdict had been agreed upon and
Foreman Steiner OF the jury replied
that it had. The verdict was handed
to him in a sealed envelope. Judge
Dehaven tore it open and read over the
document and passed it to Captain J. A.
Sladen, clerk of the court, who read it
aloud. While the clerk was reading the
verdict the noise on the outside had SO
increased that those in the room were
able to catch but two phrases: Guilty
and "leniency of the court"
As the word guilty" was pronounced
Senator Mitchell seemed as though
turned to stone. The nervous stroking
| of his beard which had continued
| throughout the proceedings, stopped
Not a muscle twitched until Judge Ben
nett arose and asked that the jury be
polled. When he sat down, Senator
Mitchell leaned toward the attorney
and whispered sit was guilty.
AS the poll proceeded Senator Mitchell
scanned each juror narrowly, hoping
against hope that negative would be
heard from one of the twelve. As one
after the other agreed to the verdict
Mr.. Mitchel1s lips drew closer and
closer in the effort to steel himself
against his evident disappointment.
| AS the last man answered yes" Judge
| Bennett arose and moved the defendant
| be granted a new trial. Judge DeHaven
set the hearing of the motion for next
Monday and then after dismissing the
| jury adjourned the court. Then and only
then Senator Mitchell showed plainly
the mental torture he was enduring.

RIVER is LOWER.
There Will Probably Be Small Rise
Soon However.

The Kansas river at seven o'clock this
morning registered 1872 feet of water on
the government gauge. This mark was
two-tenths of foot below the reading
of Monday noon and was the same as
the reading of Monday morning at seven
o'clock.
Director Jennings, of the weather
bureau, said this morning: sThe Kan
sas river fell two-tenths of a foot since
Monday noon. There is more of a rise
to come. The high waters of the Smoky
Hill river have not reached Topeka and
neither has the effect of the rise in the
Republican been felt. Both are yet to
come, but I do not anticipate any trou-
BILE from them and I see no occasion for
alarm
The rainfall in Topeka Tuesday even
ing amounted to four-hundredths of an
inch. The wind at noon today was west
blowing II miles an hour. The forecast
for Kansas is fair tonight and We'd

Kansas City, July 4.-The controversy
between the medical profession and the
council over the admission of the medi-

Kansas to the city hospital clinics was
anicably settled last night by the pas
sage of an ordinance by both houses of
the council which gives to the Kansas
university one day in the week at the
hospital to hold clinics. This arrange

Doubts BaItimore storx.

Charles S GIeed returned today
from Kansas City, where he has been
attending the meetings held by Mr.
Devlin's creditors.
When asked concerning the report
that Mr.. Devlin owes $71O, 900 to some
Baltimore trust company, Mr.. Gleed
This story was whispered about in
the hotel lobby last night, and passed
very quickly from mouth to mouth.
am Very much inclined to doubt the
truth of the report. 1t has not been
confirmed"
Concerning the meeting of Mr.. Dew
Inns creditors, Mr.. Gleed said:
At the meeting of Mr. Devlin's
creditors and their representatives,
held on Sunday, a committee was ap-
pointed to consider and report on a
plan of action which would best con-
serve the interests of the creditors.
The committee which was selected
held a meeting but arrived at no con-
clusions which can be made public
viii the organization of the cor
poration to take charge of Mr.. Dew
Inns affairs be perfected %
1T is liable to be-" replied Mr..
Gleed. THE bottom fact is that every
body is suspending operations of de-
cisive character until it is ascertained
exactly the condition of the property,
the liabilities and the assets. Nothing
can be done until this information is
obtained"
independence day affords the finan-
cial situation in Topeka another re-
spite from the strenuous life of the
past three or four days, and will un-
doubtedly mark the termination of the
uneasiness among the people of the
city who have deposits in the six To-
peka banks.
Depositors have regained confidence
in the stability of the institutions
which sustained the run of Monday
with SO little difficulty, and the re.
naming days of the week will doubt.
less see the return of many of the
small deposits which were Withdrawn
from the banks on Monday.
In an interview with his attorney
Clifford Histed, Mr.. c. J. Devlin yester-
day made this statement:
mo depositor in the First Nationa
bank will lose a dollar. 1 will give VI
everything I have in the world, i
necessary to make the bank pay dollar
Such statement coming from ;
man of Mr.. Devlin's known integrit,
will go a long ways toward satisfying
the people who have money tied up il
the First National crash.
Saturday evening a meeting of
number of the leading business meI
was hastily called to consider the ad
visa bility of cashing First Nationa
bank checks. The merchants founC
that they were being flooded witt
checks on this bank. which the de
positors had been unable to cash prio
to the closing hours. The merchant
decided that owing to the condition o
the bank, it would not be safe to loa'
up on such checks. and this source o
relief for the depositors was shut off.
