SOME people talk only when they
have something to say-for the sake of
imparting ideas, or soliciting expression
from others upon matters of interest.
When such people speak, they find a
willing audience and the world learns to
regard their expressions with respect.
There is another class, whose evident
fondness for the sound of their own
voice, has led them into the morbid
habit Of talking at all times and under
all circumstances, without regard to
knowledge of the subject under discus
sion or for facts involved. One of the
latter class appears to find pleasant
substitute for his summer vacation in
repeatedly telling that The TRIBUNE il
backed by others than its real owners
and promoters. We desire simply to
state that the names of those who are
in any way interested in The TRIBUNE
will be found at the head of this col.

much pride and exercise as great a de-
gree Of anxiety for the welfare of St.

being honest in their work, is indeed
ill-timed and uncalled-for

ROOSEVELT is WARNED
DIR. James =. Egnn Asks the Public
Health Association to
Presidents Trip.

Boston, Sent. 27.-Dr. James A. Egan,
secretary of the Illinois board of health,
has appealed to the American Public
Health association, in session here, to
use every effort TO prevent President
Roosevelt from making his proposed
trip to New Orleans in October. DR..
Egan declares that the present yellow
fever conditions in Louisiana are such
as to cause grave fears for the personal
safety of Mr.. Roosevelt and the mem
bers of his party, as well as the throngs
who. would doubtless be attracted to
New Orleans to see the president. He
declares that past statistics make abb
surd the assurances of the New Orleans
physicians that the outlook in Septem-
Der may be taken to mean that condi-
tons will be improved in October. He
asserts that the fever is not now under
control in Louisiana, nor will it be
until December.

Self-COnvicted SwarxchiId & Sulz-

For the Government.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-District Attorney
Morrison made the positive announce
ment that the government, encouraged
by the conviction Of four of the pack
ers and fortified by fresh information,
will proceed against the railroads for
paying rebates, Immediately following
the trial of the packers.
officials of the Schwarzchild & Sulz-
berger Co. will turn states evidence
in the beef trust" cases, and will
disclose secrets that may mean the
penitentiary, in the event of convic-
ton, to the other defendants. Such is
the firm conviction of an attorney who
has done much work for MAJ Sulzber-
ger, head of the company, and who
even at the present time is connected
in an advisory capacity with the legal
department of the firm. While coun-
sci for the big packers deny that the
rebate case concluded by SIS, 900 fines
affects the conspiracy case yet to be
tried, it is believed the government
will find a way to make use of devel-
opmentS.

GOING INTO LIQUIDATION
The n City state Bank Closed
to Protect DepOsitOrs who Will
All be Paid In Fall.

Kansas City, Nc, Sept. 26.-The Kan
sas City state bank has closed for VOL
untary liquidation through the Fidel-
ity' Trust Co. Depositors will be PAD
in full by the assignee.
The decision to liquidate was reached
following a meeting OF representatives
OF the clearinghouse banks. A thor
ough investigation of the accounts Of
the bank had been made and a carefully
prepared statement of the and
liabilities checked in every detail, and
the collaterals held for loans appraised
by financial experts. This was done at
the request of the banks officials, who
were seeking a way to close the bank
without placing in jeopardy one dollar
of the depositors' money. Ever since
the failure of the Salmon, & Salmon
bank at Clinton, Mo-, the banks bust
ness had been on a decline. Many large
depositors withdrew their accounts, be-
cause of the fact that the bank had ad-
vanced the Salmons more than $500, 900
on collateral that is now said by bank
ers to be gilt-edged. At that time the
value of the collateral was problematic-
al, and timid depOsitors fastened to
close their accounts. This caused a
heavy drain on the of the
bank, and in order to avert trouble the
officers of the institution decided upon
liquidation as the easiest way out of a
p~erDleXipg financial tangle.
