ROTTEN TO THE CORE
WAS ALLEGHENY BANK, SAID
THE EXAMINER
First Suits Have Been Filed and May
Include One Against a Former
rs Bank mmIssloner.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 27.-'The first
suits growing out of the Enterprise
bank failure were entered today. Ma
tional Bank Examiner John B. Cum
ningham, who has had charge Of the
wrecked institution since the failure,
entered suit against John F. Klein to
recover $3.50 on a note. Another suit
entered against the bank directly
charges Cashier T. Lee Clark, who
killed himself, with feloniously takine
and re-hypothecatiry a valuable GER
tiflcate Of stock, pledged as security for
loan. A strange feature Is brought
out in this suit, namely, that the GER
tificate in question was pledged with
the bank as collateral q years ago,
and has been supposed to be in the
custody of the bank ever since.
1t is an equity proceeding to re-
strain Lemart s. Cook, the Guarantee
Title e. Trust Co and the Enterprise
National bank from further hypothe-
cation of the certificate in question.
Another feature of the days proceed.
ings was the statement of Attorney
William B. Rodgers, counsel for Sec
retary Of the commonwealth, Robert
McAfee, the latter would likely begin
suit against Homer l.. Castle, the can
didate for supreme court on the prohi-
bition ticket, because of charges that
McAfee knew Of the condition of the
Enterprise bank when serving as state
bank commissioner and did not make
correct reports on account of the pol
Nicians interested, which Castle made
at meetings in different parts of the
state. Attorney Rodgers said that
he had advised that such suit be en-
tered and that Castle would be charg
ed with SANDER.
Bank Examiner Edward p. Moxey
made significant remark today when
In answer to question he said: This
bank was certainly rotten to the core. =

BOSTON MYSTERY
MAY BE SOLVED BY A woMAN's
REVELATIONS
Fleeing For Her Life She Tells Of
Deaths Of Four American Wo-
men by HIghbInders.

Washington, Oct. 27.-A comely
looking American woman, 25 years old,
clad in house garments, with but a
small knit shawl thrown about her
shoulders, stopped off between trains
here today en- route to her old home at
Littleton, W. Va. She told the police
that she was fleeing for her life from
her Chinese husband, Woong Coon
Sing a cigar dealer in New York
city, and the Highbinders. She de-
clared that another white wife of
Chinaman told her last night that
decree for her death had been entered,
because 1t was feared that she was
about to reveal murcerous acts of the
Highbinders. Not waiting to dress, she
pretended to go out for some household
necessities and fed to the Baltimore &
Ohio station, where she took a train
for her home, which she left as Lucy
Rosebury several years ago.
81 have seen the white wives Of Chi
namen who knew too much killed and
their bodies cut up and sent away
/ from the city. The yellow suit case
recently found with woman's torso
in il was no doubt the wife of some
Chinaman who had come into posses-
sion of some of the dread secrets. The
dress suit case is favorite means of
disposing of the chopped-up remains Of
their victims. The body of victim,
or part of it, after being packed in
the dress suit case, will be taken by
some innoncent looking Chinese laun-
dryman and carried as his baggage on
the railroad train to his destination,
where he will be assisted in disposing
Of it by some equally innocent looking
laundryman, far from the scene of the
tragedy.
IL have seen four American women
disposed of in this manner. They were
all the wives of Cinnamon. One of
these was known as 'Sheeny Annie.
The Cinnamon gave it out that she
had gone to Boston after her disap-
pearance, but l know that after she
had been murdered her body was bur-
led either in the back yard or the rear
hallway of Mott street house, No. To-
believe, the remains afterward disin-
tered and sent by express to Chicago
Others who were done away with were
a girl named Mamie, whom they called
Crazy Mamie and another one who
was known as 'Rockaway Mary These
girls were heard crying and screaming
and that was the last ever heard OF
seen of them.
IF the police will only make the
proper effort, the Boston dress suit
case mystery will be solved and the
4 perpetrators of, the act found to bt
Mongolian inmates of New York's
Chinatown. 1t is because their Amer
ican wives talk both Chinese and Eng.
lish, and will talk If occasion demands
that they are murdered and theil
bodies disposed of in such manner that
the perpetrators of the foul crimes are
never brought to justice"
,, She said in addition to the foul
American women that had been mur'
, dered to her knowledge, japanese
woman from San Francisco, who cam'
. to New York and married Chinamar
and who was charged with knowing
too much, was similarly disposed of.

THE DEATH SENTENCE
Must Stand For Patrick as Court Of
Appeals Decides Against Him.

Albany. N. Y, Oct. 27-The court
of appeals this afternoon denied n
motion for a re-argument of an ap-
peal of Albert IT. Patrick from con-
viction of murder in the first degree
and sentence of death for the killing
in 1900 of w. M. Rice, of New York,
The motion was made on October by
former United States Senator David
B. Hill.
This decision apparently deprived
Patrick of his last hope of interfer-
ence SO FAR as the courts Of this state
are concerned, with execution of the
death sentence, first passed upon him
in March 1902. The court of appeals
within a few days will assign a new
date for the execution of the orig.
inal sentence.

CANTON TOWNSHIP
VIII Hereafter Have Seven Super
visor Districts Instead Of Five.

Canton township has been divided
into seven supervisor districts, and
that number of supervisors will be
elected this year, instead of five, as
heretofore. Experience has shown
that the present number of supervisors
is not sufficient to attend to the duties
required, hence 1t was deemed advisa-
BILE to arrange for two additional dis
tricts

fully sealed, and said: e
Just put this in the safe, land
lord.
That evening he started for Grand
Haven, carrying with him small
handbag, and leaving behind fairly
good looking medium-sized valise.
The following day young man
alighted from the Grand Haven traDi
and, going to the hotel, presented q
letter from the diamond dealer, which
read as follows:
Dear Landlord: / am closing deal
for q fine pair Of horses and q carriage,
with which shall leave here to-mor-
row morning for Mnskegon. ] am
trading . few diamonds on the deal,
/ but the man has held me up for 500
boot money, which / wish you would
let the bearer have for me. also
have on another diamond deal, which
II expect to clinch to-day. Yours etc. e
Not daring to entrust the messenger
with the diamond mans thousand dol
lar package, and not feeling justified
ii opening It, the landlord instantly
sent the two hundred ii cash out OF
his own pocket First, however, he
questioned the messenger and learned
that he was an old resident 81 Grand
Haven, and knew everyone there.
The next day we expected 70 see y
handsome team driven into town. and
were really disappointed, when night
came and mona Ind arrived.

octnting. especially % the landlord.
On the following morning, the hotel
people began discussing the matter
quite freely. The landlord brought out
the envelope, upon which was written
the diamond dealers name and the
amount OF cash enclosed, and although
he claimed to feel perfectly secure it
was plain that he was much per-
picked.
At last, not hearing from the young
man, the clerk went to Grand Haven
and. to his establishment, found the
landlord there walking the floor in his
anxiety to know what mad become OF
the man whose package, containing
$1,000, he held In the safe, and for
whom he had borrowed 5000 from q
merchant friend q couple Of days be-
fore.
A valise, similar to the one left at
Muskegon, had also been left at the
Grand Haven hotel.
Putting two and two together, 1t
was plain that both landlords had
been duped by this smooth CRATER,
and thereupon the envelopes were
opened. Each was found to contain a
lot of brown paper. cut in the exact
size Of dollar bills.
On comparing notes, the hotel men
found that his methods were the same
in each case. In both instances he
had previously, without the knowledge

replied the other.
So saying, he drew from under the
table a large wallet and, followed BY
the other men, he opened the door and
entered the yard.
Meantime Skipry had hidden behind
a rubbish heap in the alley. Bill dug
a hole in the ground and therein de
posted the wallet, covering It careful
" with earth. The men then walked
back to the room.
Here's chance to get that re-
ward. Skippy muttered to himself.
He ran through the alley and into
the street to telephone. Here be
explained matters and soon patrol
wagon with two policemen was driven
up. After whispered information from
Skippy, they entered the house BY
force and took the men prisoners
Where's the money! demanded a
officer Of the newsboy.
s In reply Skippy ran to the yard, dug
up the wallet and held II Ii full view
OF the policemen. When the patrol
wagon reached the station the bank
president, who had been notified. hand
ed Skippy a check for $25. He also
found home for him with kind

tanned an assortment Of diamond studs
and rings. He asked that this be put
in the safe.
The following afternoon he stepped
up to the Office and asked the landlord
for a large-sized envelope. On receiy-
iEg it, he took from his pocket a large
roll of bills and, after counting them
in the presence of the proprietor, writ
ing his name on the envelope, and putt
ting down the amount as $1,000, he
said:

Insurance Laws, /

Formerly one wh0 found himself un-
able to continue to pay the premiums
on his life insurance policy forfeited
all that he had paid in. In those days,
says Youths Companions IT. was to
the interest of the companies that poll
cies should lapse The unfairness of
the system led Itos a movement for
reform, and one after another OF the
state legislatures amended the insrr-
ance laws So as to require the COM
panies to give a paid np'' policy Of q
fair amount whenever the insured
chose to stop paying further premi-.
ums. That ID now the law In nearly
all. perhaps in all, the states, and wild
ows and orphans Of the insured get
the benefit OF the money which the
husband and father paid to the COM
panies, whether he continued to pay
the premiums till his death or not.
These paternal statutes have been
justified. on the ground that they are
necessary to protect the individual in
his dealings with great corporations.
They are something like the laws
regulating national banks and banks
for savings, as they are intended to
prevent the misuse or. waste Of the
money Of the people. Every man who
is insured IS Interested in the insur-
ance laws ana ID the efforts Of the
law officers to enforce them when
there has been careless il not Grim
inal use Of the funds OF the compa-
mics. In the same way every man
with bank account Is interested in
the adoption Or such system Of in.
spection OF the national and state
banks that the threatened insolvency
81 an institution may be discovered
In time to prevent misuse Of the
money Of the depositors.
