The navy department has had the
good sense TO recall an order reInov-
ing two naval officers as inspectors
of public works in progress of con
struction on the Atlantic coast. and It
is now expected the contractors Will
live up to the specifications as provid-
ed when they entered into the contract.
1t appears that the officers in question
insisted on the work being properly
done. They objected 10 the use of in
ferior material on the ground that IT
was not what the government expected
and when the work did not meet their
approval they promptly condemned II
and insisted that it be replaced by the
right kind. This action was followed
by an appeal 10 Washington, and the
order for the removal of the officers
was issued.

Last Monday morning the
Schiller Brothers hank at AIamosa
closed its doors and a receiver was
appointed to take charge of the
same. Considerable excitement
followed the announcement MS the
hank WAS an old established lnsti-
tuition and ITS deposits large.
1t has been impossible to sscer-
tain the tho exact status of the
j,ank as to assets and liabilities.
hut 1t is declared that there are
many heavy losers, or will he bv
the liquidation of the banks
affairs.
8 The most general explanation of
the closing of the hank is that the
opening Of the national bank there
last week by Colorado Springs
capitalists caused N quiet but heavy
run on the Schiffers' bank and 1t
became necessary to shut down.
Abe Schiller left quietly last
sweck, 1t Is said, to 90 to New
York for funds to meet the crisis.
