COUNT CASSINI
Has a General Talk" With Presi.
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, d. c., June Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador. saw
the President for hair an nour this af-
ternoon and talked with him of the
var, but their discussion was of a gem
eral and informal nature. 1t was ap-
parent that, following the repeated Wis
its to the White House of the Japanese
minister, Mr.. Takahiri, the ambassa-
Cor expected to be given an outline at
least of the general terms on which
Japan is willing to open negotiations
for peace, but the President did not go
beyond the statement that If Russia -
ready to end the war he believes Japan
will meet her half way and in spirit
which will cause no humiliation to the
ozar, and that he will gladly extend his
good Offices to that end. This repre-
Gontation has aready been made, in the
most friendly way, at st. Petersburg,
through Ambassador Meyer.
Count Cassini said. after leaving the
White House. that his visit was de-
void of significance and did not relate
TO any peace negotiations. He said he
had a general talk" with the Presi-
dent, but had received no proposals to
be sent to his government nor any in
t!mation of the conditions Japan would
impose II Russia was willing to talk of
Ieace.

THE dime SAVINGS BANK
Large Increase in the Volume of Its
Business Since the Failure of
the State Bank-Reasons
For IL.

EVERY cloud has its silver lining"
ls an old adage that has been verified
in the case Of the Dime Savings Bapk
of this city. Since the failure OF the
State bank the increase of business at
the Dime is proving extremely gratify-
ing to the directors and It's officers.
The run that was on at the Dime some
months ago proved TO the satisfaction
of every one that the bank is as solid
as q rock and that it can weather any
storm in financial matters.

pime is the high standard of its direc-
tory. Comprising as 1t does the flower

Canton takes pardonable pride in
having a bank like the Dime, that has
successfully withstood what most
banks are afraid of, run, the fact
that every depositor was given his
money at once upon request, and tnat
after the run was over that 1t had
thousands of dollars on hands, and
that it did not ask any one for assist
ance spoke volumes for its stability
and the soundness of the institution.
That the people appreciate what the
Dime has done is shown by the large
Increase in the business recently. The
failure of the State bank caused the
opening of numerous new accounts in
this bank, and people who are tired of
trying new institutions are now going
10 an old reliable bank like the Dime,
where they know their money will be
Iafe.
Friends of the Dime are congratulat-
Ing the institution upon the fact that
H. had run when 1t did, as by no
bther means could such an excellent
testimonial be shown, and just at this
lime the reward is coming in the shape
Of largely increased business, so that

The trouble between the woman and

morning when Deputy Sheriff William
Goodhue went to the boarding house
and served writ of possession. Mrs.
Buss refused to leave and telephoned
Tor her attorney, e. L. Hutchison.
When the attorney arrived he adj

Is the advice Mrs. Buss alleges she re-
ceived.
Some hours later Deputy George w.
Conart was sent to the apartment house

the wrong view of the subject
She refused to be convinced and when
the deputy insisted, the woman pro-
duced a revolver and threatened to
| sweep the hall clear of deputies and
attorneys unless her furniture was left
alone.
Conart arrested her and took her to
jail, where she became hysterical and
attempted to tear her clothes to pieces.
She cursed everyone in the office and
finally the sheriff dismissed her with
warning to keep away from her
apartment house and not to interfere
with the officers.
Hears From Battlefield
Yesterday when Sheriff White arrived
at his office he received a report from
the scene of hostilities, namely the
East Fifth street boarding house, that
Mrs. Buss had entered the house dur
ing the night and had paraded up and
down the hall, threatening everyone in
sight with revolver. which, according
to the statements of the officers who
had guarded the house, was at least
twenty-five inches long
Sheriff White had refused. through
his sense of chivalry, to take any Grim
iral action against the woman for her
assaults on his deputies. but when she
threatened everyone in sight with a re-
Volver he considered it unsafe for her
to be allowed at large and he advised
Deputy Conart to swear out the in
sanity complaint.
When the woman was arraigned be-
fore Judge Conrey she alleged spite
work and the Judge made a thorough
examination, acting in the capacity of
IL sanity commission and judge at the
same time. He released her, stating
that she did not appear to be insane
AS the woman left the court room she
attempted to explain her troubles to
Judge Conrey but he refused to listen
to her and ordered her to be careful
and not interfere with officers.

PIONEERS ARE
IN D|SSENS|ON
DIVIDE ON QUESTION OF
INCORPORATION
Discussion of Proposition Becomes So
Heated That Some of the Mem
bers Withdraw From
the Meeting

For time last evening the Pioneer
society of Los Angeles gave promise
of being split in twain at a meeting
held in the Caledonian hall, 119 South
Spring street. The two factions were
those who were in favor of incorpora-
tion under the leadership of Edward
De Camp and Joe Mesmer and those
who did not favor it headed by Uncle
Billy" Workman, j. M. Quinn, J. f.
Byrnes and DR.. Orme. Those in favor
of Incorporating the society were in
the majority and this SO angered some
of the other party that they left the
hall
Hot words were spoken and person
alities indulged in. Such expressions
as these were heard: Let us incor-
porate harmoniously If possible, if not
let us incorporate anyway"
Cooler heads realizing the fact that
the quarrel was really becoming seri-
GUS, tried to smooth the affair over.
One patriarch chided his fellow forty
miners with this expression:
Postpones Final Action
Let us old gray headed men who
should show our dignity not fight like
a pack of school children" The presi-
dent was i'm favor of taking a vote on
the question. but at the request of sew
eral of the members II was decided to
let affairs shape themselves until next
meeting when it will be determined as
to whether the society shall be an in
corporate body or not.
The only business of Importance that
was transacted was the passing of a
motion which instructed the secretary
to direct a message to the city coun-
ell asking them to provide means
whereby the changing of the names of
streets could be stopped. The names OF

CIGARETTES AND BOYS.

A well known educator. DR.. Shaw OF
Indianapolis, has been conducting an
investigation into the use of cigar
cites by school boys. He visited sew
eral cities OF approximately the size OF
Indianapolis, and Providence was
among them. III the Rhode Island
city he found an almost unbelievable
condition of affairs. Here 90 per cent
of-all the boys in the nine grammar
schools were cigarette smokers. In
other cities the percentage ranged from
65 10 SO.
1t is difficult TO believe that the fig-
ures are accurate. If they are they re-
fleet a most appalling situation, They
show that in spite of all the efforts
that are being put forth by anti-cigar-
cite people the evil is constantly grow
ing; that more boys are contracting
the habit and that the future of the
coming generations, is seriously men
aced.
How can the evil be checked? The
answer has not yet been found. IN
diana thought she had solved the prob
lem when her legislature passed an act
prohibiting the Importation and sale of
cigarettes and cigarette paper. Yet
there is about as much cigarette smok-
ing in Indiana now as there was be-
fore the law was passed. Appeals TO
the manliness of the boys seem to be
without effect. All the stories they are
told OF the sappmg Of their strength
and their intellect by the use OF cigar
cites so, as the saying is, in at one
ear and out at the other.
It seems to Us that the solution is
more in the hands of the parents them
selves than Ia school lectures and
school teachings. II a boys father and
mother are watchful that young man
cannot smoke q cigarette without be-
ing detected. He must come home
with the smell Of tobacco on his breath
and if his father and mother fail to
notice it they are careless indeed. And
right at the moment OF discovery is the
time TO use moral suasion.
II parents We're more careful. if they
kept closer track of their boys associ-
ates and depended less on the teaching
at school it would be possible to check.
more than measurably, the growth of
the cigarette habit.
