DIRECTORS IGNORANT
 OF CONDUCT OF BANK
SEE PAPERS AND NOTES WHICH THEY KNETV NOTHING OF
 BEFORE.

Affairs of Enterprise National Of Ale
 ghaay, Still Under investigation Its Condition May Not He Known for Some Days-DIrectOrs Speak Hope fuIIy-SOme Hope That Dead Cash
 fer's Estate May Amount to S5OO,OOO
 or SGOO,GOO.
 Pittsburg, Oct 19.-Investfgation into the condition of the Enterprise Nation al bank, which was closed by he comp troller of the currency yesterday, shows beyond doubt that the institution was conducted in manner entirely un- known to the directors. The real con dition of the bank may not be known for several days.
 From representative of the bank it is learned that since the investigation started papers and notes have been brought to the attention of the direc- tors which they never saw before. Among these papers are two notes bearing the name of W. H. Andrews, who to-day stated positively that he had no papers in the bank. Bank EX- aminer Cunningham, who is in charge of the institution, would say nothing concerning this statement, but the source of the information is thoroughly reliable.
 The statement made to-day by tho officials of the Santa Fe Central rail- way and the Pennsylvania Develop ment company on behalf of which the dead cashier is said to have negotiated loans, would seem to place all the blame on Clark, who, so far as known, left no explanation of the bans rela- tions with the two companies.
 Supplementary statements by the | signers of the statement and their at torneys show that they take the posi- ton that MT. Clark was the fiscal agent of their companies, and that as such it was his duty to look after funds and raise money when necessary. The directors speak hopefully of re- storing the bank to soIvency and re- suming business in a month CT six weeks, pointing to promises made by those charged with getting money on
 
 also express the hope that MT. Clark s estate will amount to some s5O,000 or $6OO,O0O, but in this they seem to be hoping aginst hope. Whatever there is of it will be used in 'straightening out the banks affairs.
 The amount of the state money sup posed to be in the bank will probably reach $7S2,O00, but the exact amount will not be known for some days.
 The commonwealth of Pennsylvania in behalf of the state treasury depart ment has entered judgment for $2,0O0,- 900 on four bondes aggregating that amount against the Enterprise Nation al bank and the sureties on the bonds, who are as follows: Frederick Gwin- ner, James P. Mckinney, Charles F. Stifel, Henry Langdruff, William T. Bradberry, John Selling, Frank B. Smith, David Morrison, Albert F. schwerd and James T. Arnold.

Un- til the girl herself arrived to reveal the missing jewels hiding place William Scheer's large jewelry establishment at 352 Fifth avenue was closed to every one except detectives and employees, the latter being positively forbidden to leave the place.

FALLING BIRTH RATE.
Prevention of Conception Spreads Like
 Blight in Great Britain.

London, Oct. 19.-The falling birth rate was the subject of interesting comment by the bishop of London, Dr. Ingram, in an address to the clergy of his diocese in St. Paurs cathedral to- day. Like President Roosevelt, he warned his hearers of the dangers of this decrease. It was impossible, the bishop said, to describe with what dis may he viewed this diminution of the birth rate, not only in England, but in the colonies. It appeared to him to be an artificial diminution by artificial means. The practice of the deliberate prevention of conception had spread like blight among the middle classes, and must be viewed by the Church of England as a sin. The prevailing love of comfort was largely responsible for this, and the clergy must learn them selves to teach others to live the sim pier and heartier life which their fore fathers lived.

 missioner.

Washington, Oct 19.-The following was issued by the Tsthmian canal com mission to-day:
 Tn regard to the published rumors to the effect that the majority of the members of the consulting board of en- gineers have decided in favor of a lock canal at Panama, General Davis, chair man of the board, said to-day:

The board will be in continuous session either as board or in separate conn mittees until they reach a conclusion which will be arrived at some time in the month of November, probably near the close. Two committees have been appointed to study the two types of canal, sea level and lock and these committees arc endeavoring to develop the best canal of each type. When the work shall have been cemopleted the while board will be ready to decide which type they prefer.
 The members of the isthmian board of consulting engineers have all return ed to Washington and tomorrow will resume their meetings.

JEROME HITS MURPHY HARD
MISERABLE MAN EVEN CON-
 PARED WITH CRoKER.

Latter at Least a Man of His Word
 Murphy a Mere Recrudescence, n
 Faint Imprint, Shadow of the
 Former Tammany Leader - Asks
 Where His Estate, Automobile and
 Inverted Servants Come From.
 New York, Oct. 19.-With sky rock cts sereeching in the air, brass bands and political clubs braving a wetting in the drizzling rain. and practically all the candidates afield, the municipal campaign in Greater New York was in full swing tonight.
 The democrats ratified in Tammny hall the nominations Of their city, county and borough tickets. Mayor Mcclellan made a lengthy speech, which was significant in the attention he gave to the, mltnieipal ownership problem, and in which he declared many of the theories of the propagan- da to be impracticable. Mir. Mcclellan said municipal ownership is business proposition, pure and simple, to be 'un- dertaken when it promises more prof it than does private operation of pub lie utilities.
 William Randolph Hearst candidate for mayor, and his associates on the whirlWind tour of Brooklyn, speaking at three different points. They met a hearty reception in the borough.
 District Attorney William Travers Jerome continued his vigorous inde- pendent campaign, and spoke first to a great crowd gathered in Murray Hill Lyceum and later addressed an enthusiastic audience which tested the capacity of the Grand Central Palace on the East side. MT. Jerome's prin- cipal address was at the Lyceum, where he dismissed with the brief statement, Tt is not true" the charge made to-day by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, that MT. Jerome had sought him in connection with the democratic nomination. The district attorney then attacked fiercely the present democratic administration and the nominees. He was most bit ter against MT. Murphy, and compar- ed him disparagingly to Richard Croker, a real man." man with a jaw; a man that stood up and never lied to & friend; man who stood good and true when he gave. yo1 his word, and told you he would or would not, and then did as he said. Croker was my friend, though fought him for twenty years That kind of man could deal with; not the miserable kind of man from Good Ground.
 Richard Croker, brave man that he was, was practically driven from this town by the one question, Where did you get it?'
 Where did this recrudescence of Cro- ker, this faint imprint; this shadow of a mighty man, get it? Where did Good Ground and the automobile and the liveried servants come from? I have served this people in public office for something like thirteen years in places where the stuff was if you were will Ring to take it. But live to-day in as humble an apartment as any of you. Joint debate is a cheap thing to offer me, but, God helping me, I would like knothing better than joint debate with Charlie Murphy. Half a dozen ques- ktions hot out of the range of the crim- inal law and that weak shadow of a strong man would be effaced from the globe.''

Percy Gilbert is the single representative left in for liar yard, and while his work throughout the tournament has been very consist ent he has hard task before him, to gain place in the finals.

Sr4TETBEAsURER'Ss STATEMENT
Declares Funds of Pennsylvania in AL
 Iegheny Bank Amply Protected.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-Wilnam L. Mathues, state treasurer of Pennsyl- vania, to-day asserted that the state funds, possibly $7S2,OOO, deposited in the Enterprise National bank of Ale gheny. were amply protected and that the state would not lose a dollar. Mir. Mathues also declared that he had no knowledge whatever of the dealings of the bank with W. H. Andrews, and his railroad affairs, or with Senator Penrose and others as alleged by Ho- mer L. Castle, prohibitionist candi- date for superior court judge.
 Regarding the statement that he had deposited $5O0OO in the bank on Tues day, Mir. Mathues said that about Co., tober'1 he had made draft upon the bank for about S50,000, which had been honored, and the money paid into the treasury, but that on the request of the officials of the bank he was asked to wait for the money until some city warrants were taken up which would be about the first of November. He granted this request and returned to the bank the $5O,0OO, but it was not a new deposit. and he declared that no state money had been deposited in the bank since October 1. MT. Mathues stated that no republican leader had ever asked him to use the bank as a depository for state funds, and that since he came into office, a year ago last May, the state deposit had been reduced by more than fi150,OOO.

YALE FACULTIES FIAT.
SENTENCE PRONOUNCED ON THE
 RIOTERS.

All Members of the Freshman Class
 ROoIning in Pierson and the Two
 DOrmitOries Opposite Denied Priyi-
 1eges of Cuts and NIarks-Penalty
 Hits Hard. x
 With a penalty regarded as peculiarly effective the Yale academic faculty yes- terday afternoon punished decisively the members of the freshman class residing in York street for the unbeeoming con duct of which the denizens of fresh- man row were guilty on Sunday even- ing, October 8. It was voted to deprive all the freshmen rooming in Pierson hall and the two prominent private dor rnitories located opposite it, the Gar land and PAS and 25O York street, from the privileges of cuts and marks dur ing the year. This will affect about 200 students. .r,
 The penalty is a severe one. It means that no recitations may be omit ted by these men during the year, and no marks for failing to attend chapel, latenass at recitations or misconduct will be excused. Ordinarily each mem Der of the freshman class is permitted twenty-five unexcused cuts during the year and sixty marks.
 By this action attendance at out of town athletic events requiring the on1is- sion of chapel and one or more recital tions will not be allowed these men. A number of freshmen who would prob ably attend the West Point, Columbia and Princeton games will thus be con- strained to abandon their plans. These same men will, moverover, be unable to participate in athletic events which I will i'll interfere at all with their recitations, chiefly out of town events.
 It is generally felt that the faculty r has dealt adequately with the situa- tion by adopting this action,

CUNLIFFE BURNED SEQ, 900.
If This is True Entire Amount is Ac counted For

Bridgeport, Oct. 19.-Edward George Cunliffe, who was arrested here to-day on the charge of stealing $1O1, ,000 from the Adams Express company in Pitts burg October 9, will be taken to New York on the 5:08 train tomorrow morning by private detectives. About midnight tonight David c. Thornhill of the Pinkerton agency in New York, who assisted in the arrest of Cunliffe had talk with the prisoner in his cell and told him that $80,00O had been re- covered at the home of his brother-in- law in Bristol, and pressed him to tell where the missing $2O,OO0 was hidden. Cunliffe finally said: You'll never get it; I've destroyed it. Detective Thornhill at first doubted Cunliffes story, but the prisoner stuck to it, say- ing that he had burned the money in his room in the hotel where he stopped here. He said that he was afraid that the bills would give him away, as they were of large denominations, and prac- tically marked as they were notes of the Alleghany National bank in Pitts burg, and that every body was looking for them. Cunliffe said that rather than carry them around he burned them.
 If this statement is true, and the de- tectives thing it is, the total amount of money stolen is accounted for. In view of the fact that Cunliffe assured the detective that there was no money hidden in this city, Thornhill at once decided to take an early train for New York and told Cunliffe to be ready to go down there at 5:08 in the morning. It was intended to stop here another day to search for the supposed missing $2O,000, but the Pittsburg police were notified not to come here, as had been planned.
 Maximilian Peters, the hotel proprie- tor, insisted again tonight that he was responsible for Cunliffe's arrest and that he intended to make strong claim for the reward offered by the Pittsburg authorities. He said that Cunliffe had been here for a week without the police even suspecting it and that had he not told them yester- day Cunliffe would have left the town tonight. The police refused to discuss that end of the case tonight.
 Pittsburg police authorities will come here, tomorrow afternoon for Cunliffe and it is expected that ne will be taken there tomorrow night. Cunliffe will make no resistance.

 CunIiffe's Wife BOardman's Sister
 Highly Respected Young Man and
 His Story Relieved.
 Bristol, Oct. 19.-As the result of the statement made by Edward George Cunliffe in Bridgeport tonight that he had sent SS5,OOO of his Adams Express plunder to his brother-in-law, Joseph W. Boardman, in Bristol, a representa- tive of the Associated Press called at the Boardman home tonight and osk- ed Boardman if that was so. Board man, who is a young man, twenty-five years old, and the agent here for the Electric Express company, of Hartford, said that he had received no money, but that on October F a dress-suit case came to his house from Bridgeport and as there was no name on it he had not opened it. His wife signed for the case and Boardman placed it in a closet, thinking it was sent to him as an agent of an express company to be called for later.
 Boardman told the Associated. Press representative that if he wished he would send for the police and that they could break open the case. Chief Arms and Captain Belden, of the police force, were then sent for and iA their pres ence the case was torn open. Huge bundles of money in the shape of bills tumbled out on the floor, and also black suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and two shirts. As the money was be- ing counted Superintendent J. c. Cur tis, of the Adams Express conpany's New England agency, and William H, Minister, superintendent of the Pinker- ton detectives, drove up to the house and were shown in. Mir. Curtis then couned the money and found total of $79,95S.55. There were fifteen bundles of $100 bills, making a total of $50,000, and the rest, with the exception of $3.55, which was in pocket in the coat, was in $50 bills. ' ..
 No one was more surprised at the display of money than Boardman him. self, and his story is fully believed. ! MT. Curtis packed the money in a Valise and took the late train for Hart ford.
 Boardman says that he has received no word from Cunliffe during the past eighteen. months, and that if the fugi- tive had come this way he would have informed the police. From the attitude of. Boardman it was seen easily that he had little sympathy for his brother-in- law. Cunliffe's wife is Boardn1ans sis ter and he says he has had letters from her since Cunliffe disappeared asking that he do all he can to find the missing man.
 Boardman is highly respected young man here and has been the local agent for the Electric Express company for some time. He lives with his wife on Park street.

 Princeton, N. J., Oct. 1s,z -Princeton,s $ chances for football success this sea son are regarded by the coaches as rather poor, owing to the great num- ber of injuries the men have suffered, and the fear that Dutcher osBrien and Jennings are out of the game for good.
 To-day Coach w. H.

Many of our men are injured, and to win from Yale we need the helD of every Princeton man more than ever. Will not even undergraduates take a. personal interest in the matter and urge all such possible men to como out?"
