The Matin of Paris Suggests Gift Of
$500, ,ooo,o 900 to Russia.

Paris.-Owing to the reports from
Portsmouth indicating that the ques-
ton Of peace between Russia and ia
pan hinges solely on Russia paying
an indemnity to Japan, the Matin ca
bled a remarkable appeal to John d.
Rockefeller at Cleveland. The appeal,
in part, follows:
"The question of money threatens
to unloosen afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge Of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is making noble and
heroic efforts to end struggle be-
tween two nations whose peoples
amount to one seventh of the popula-
ton of the globe. His initiative hon
ors America in the opinion of the
civilized nations.
"The question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory of Mr.. Roosevelt and complete
his work by overcoming the sole OBJ
stacle now hindering peace. He
would thus demonstrate the might of
money in powerful and generous
hands.
1.-THE Matin, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the
world"
The appeal concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense ben
eiits such an act would confer upon
civilization.

stitute incorrigibility. He said she
had been properly trained and that her

perfectly able to control and keep the
child. He contended her commitment
was an outrage and a travesty upon
justice.

school, said there was no provision for
Iappeal in the case and that the court
had no power to go into a hearing
Mr.. Smith was informed by the
court that his petition did not deny that

CASHIER COMMITTED SUICIDE

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 19-T. Lee Clark.
cashier Of the Enterprise National Bank
Of Allegheny. killed himself yesterday
and the bank later was ordered closed by
the Comptroller of the Currency. The sem
satlon caused by the suicide and financial
crash is overshadowed by political scan
dal involving many prominent Republ-
can politicians.
Cashier Clark shot himself through the
head at his home in Bellevue in the
morning and died in the afternoon. His
act was evidently due TO his knowledge
that the Enterprise Bank was on its last
financial legs, caused largely by the ma
chinations of the Republican State po-
litical machine.
Five hours after the shooting. while
Cashier Clark was breathing his last. the
doors Of the bank, considered one OF the
most reliable ia Allegheny county, were
closed and United States Bank Examiner
Cunningham put in charge as receiver.
