FINANCIAL HOUSE TOPPLES.
Its Failure Direct Result of the
Forgeries OF GaslSill.
lRy the Associated Press }


Philadelphia, June 21.-The City
Trust and Safe Deposit Company, for
years rated among the most reliable
financial institutions i'll the community,
today closed its doors and Albert l..
Tabor a State bank examiner, was
appointed temporary receiver. The
company will liquidate and j. Hamp-
ton Moore it's president, will probably
be appointed permanent receiver. 1t
is the beliefof the board of directors,
as we'll as Receiver Tabor that all de-
positors will be paid in full.
The failure of the company was the
direct result of the forgeries of the late
BENJAMIN II. Gaskill, the broker, who,
it was learned yesterday, month af-
ter his death had raised many certifi-
Gates of stock from one to one hum
dred shares and borrowed money on
them In this connection President
Moore said that the company had
loaned Gaskill $155, 900, of which $70,-
600 had been paid.
This left $4,000 due for which it
was believed the collateral security
was $4,000. These securities were
found upon examination to be forged
and their actual value is a little over
$4,000, making the loss to the COM
pany nearly $4,000 In addition the
company held papers of President A.
E. Applegard. who resigned six months
ago. and had certain liabilities on its
surety bonds. The company had de-
posits amounting to $1,3S5, 600.

INSANE HE CONFESSED.
Now Sane Charles setter. Of Newton.
is 10 be Tried for Mson.

Here is a strange case, one IN which
q man while insure confesses 20
crime is put in a hospital is reported
as having recovered reason, and is to
be tried for his life.
Charles Setter, charged with arson
i'm Catawba. but freed from trial be-
cause of his insanity. is considered as
being sane now, and has been taken
back to Newton from the department
of the criminal insane here, and is TO
be tried in July, being now out under
a bond for $4,000.
The case is n curious one. About lo
months ago a store and dwelling house
five miles cast of Newton were burned.
At first there was no clue TO the per-
son who did the burning, but month
or so later Charles setter became IN
sane and while in this condition con
fcssed tQ/the crime. Hc was to have
been tried. at the February term or
court, 1904, but was adjudged insane
and sent to the asylum for criminal
insane at Raleigh, where he was 70

his mental capacity should be restored.
The phys clans in charge of the asy-
lum reported last week that he had
regained his sanity and sent him back

other Western railroads, and that it
subsequently developed that under the
guiSe of a division of rates practicaI
rebates had been allowed by these
roads to the International Harvester
Company. The Presidents position is
that he could not follow a suggestion
of the Attorney General to submit
the evidence to Judge Phillips who
issued the injunction, to ascertah,
whether there was reason to attach
the officers of the Morton road without
proceeding in like manner against all
the other roads in the matter of the
Harvester case, which he states would
put us in a wholly untenable posi-
ton" The second ground given by
the President for not following this
advice is that he had received let
ter from Mr. Morton stating in un-
equivocal terms that the violations of
the injunction order We're committed
without his knowledge or consent and
against his orders, and also that if
Mr.. Morton were not in his cabinet
neither he nor the attorney general
would dream of bringing the proceed
ing. The President also reviews the
course of the administration in the
proceedings against the Northern Sc
curities Company and the Beef Trust
and claims that in neither case We're
personal prosecutions proper in the
absence of direct evidence of wilful
crime on the part of the officers of the
corporations involved.
The letter from Secretary Morton to
the President referred to aboe. was
under date of June 5th, and consists of
Il specific denial of any personal
knowledge of the Irregularities COM
planned of and stating that they oc-
Cured in violation of express orders
given by him to all departments imme,
diately after the issuance of the in
junction by Judge Phillips.
Notwithstanding every precaution,
says he, the practice in vogue with the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company was
overlooked in the freight tariff depart
ment, which evidently did not consider
it irregular. The circumstances he
compares to a misplaced switch and
says that the officers of the road were
no more responsible than Il president

Washington, June 21.-It is esti-
mated in official circles here that ne
gotiations are proceeding looking to
an armistice between Japan and Rus
sia.
The stumbling block i'm the way Of
an armistice appears to be that neither
belligerent is willing to take the initia-
tive. The present negotiations, il is
understood. consist of an effort TO
sound one or both governments as 20
their Willingness to agree to an armis-
tice.
The feeling in official circles here IS
strongly in favor of a cessation Of hos
tilities. as il is believed that a clash
before the convening OF the peace con-
ference would hamper the work of The
plenipotentiaries and might prove a
menace to their efforts for peace.
