BANKER SUICIDES
ENTERPRISE NATIONAL BANK OF
ALLEGHENY FAILS.
BIG LOANS TO POLITICIANS
w. II. Andrews Of New Mexico One OF
the eorrowers.-Eight Hundred
Thousand Dollars of State Deposits
in the Bank,

IN tne Bank.
Pittsburg, Pa.-After an investiga-
ton of the books of the Enterprise
National Bank of Allegheny, which
disclosed that the bank was insolvent,
T. Lee Clarke, cashier of the institu-
tion for years, went to his home in
Bellevue last midnight, spent sleep
less, nervous night, and shot himself
through the head this morning. He
lived until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
OF 100000 of state deposits in the
bank 100000 had been loaned to poll
ucianS.
An hour before the announcement of
his death was received at the bank a
telegram came from the comptroller of
the currency closing the doors and ap-
pointing Bank Examiner John J. Gun
ningham receiver.
Following closely on the exciting
events in lower Allegheny came the
announcement from the president of
the bank, Fred Gwynner, Sr., that
: Clarke had loaned thousands of dol
lrs to Pennsylvania politicians; that
he himself had endorsed note for
$4,000 yesterday for Clarke, conclud-
ing with the statement that if the
shortage was only 100000, he would
gladly pay it himself"
The bank has state deposits which
will amount to about SS0O,000 of which
S49S,000 is in the checking or active
account. and the rest is in sinking
fund.
Mr.. Gwynner in his statement said:
Nearly 100000 of the 100000 of
state deposits of our bank is out on
paper of state politicians. w. II.
Andrews has borrowed nearly $780,
600; Frank j. Torrance has borrowed
considerable. ! do not know how
much. But the bank is solvent"
When pressed for specific instances
of loans made TO Andrews and Tor
rance, Mr.. Gwynner modified his first
statement by saying that the books of
the bank do not show that they per-
sonally borrowed money from it, but
that the money was given to the Penn
sylvania Development Company.
Mr.. Andrews cannot be located to-
night. He is reported to be in Phila-
delphia.
Francis J. Torrance is i'll and could
not be seen.

MAY REMOVE FOR CAUSE.
President Makes Important Change in
Civil Service Rules.

WaShington.-An amendment to the
civil service rules, sweeping and com
prehensive in its character, has been
authorized by the President. Hereaf-
ter Cabinet officer will have the
\ >Dower to remove summarily and with
Nut hearing any civil service employe
in his department who to the personal
knowledge of the head of the depart
ment has been guilty of misconduct
or who is inefficient in the perform
ance of his duties. BY the terms of the
amendment the Cabinet officer must
have personal knowledge of the mis-
conduct or inefficiency of the employe
whom he proposes to discharge. With
this personal knowledge the power of
the head OF the department is absolute.
The amendment thus authorized is
one of the most important and far
reaching made to the civil service
rules in many years.
Heretofore, in every case of the re-
moval of a civil service employe,
charges had to be filed against the
person whom it was proposed to re-
move and the employe was given time
in which to meet the charges with
such defense as he might have to
make. Under the authorized amend
ment such proceeding will not be nee
essary. A head of a department may
discharge an employe for misconduct
or inefficiency with the simple state
ment to the civil service commission
that the misconduct or inefficiency is
a subject of his personal observation.
The discharged employe will have no
recourse.
The amendment was discussed by
She CABINET and approved unanimously.

any torpedo boats and that the open
&ng of fire by the Russian feet was
[Saot justified. At the same time the
commissioners recognize that RoJest-
.rensky personally did all he could to
erevent the fishermen from being the
objects of fire. They disclaim inten-
kion to cast disrespect upon the valor
or sentiments Of humanity Of the Rus
sian commander. The flare lights OF
the fishermen were what created alarm
among the Russian men-of-war. Com
anenting on the decision, the American
commissioner, Admiral Davis, thought
that 1t should be in the interest of
&he principle Of arbitration, which calls
FOR some concession from both sides.
In all essentials the report favors the

Hisher Rate on Japan's Bonds.
The fourth internal Japanese war
loan, amounting to $50,000000, has
been floated successfully at Tokyo at
the rate Of ~ per cent, which Is con-
Rderably higher than previous loans.
The bonds sold at 30 and are secured
only by the general credit of the gov
eminent, whereas former loans spe-
officially mortgaged customs receipts.
Bonds of the previous issues have
steadily appreciated in value owing to
the series of military victories.
