mune From Disturbance.

Chicago, July 20.-Indirectly protected
by federal court injunction Chicago's
floating poolroom, the City of Traverse
will go into commission and receive
racing news from the Wireless Tele-
graph company as was the practice be-
fore the Chicago police raided the Of
fees of the telegraph company in the
Railway Exchange building some time
ago. After hearing the argument in the
case Judge S. H. Rethea in the United
States circuit court issued an injunction
restraining Mayor Edwards F. Dunno,
Chief of Police O'Neill and their Off
GERS from interfering with the Wireless
Telegraph company in any way. Coun-
sci for the wireless company raised the
point that the city did not have the
power to interfere with interstate COM
merce in the form of messages sent
from state to state by means of tele-
grams and he was upheld by the court.

MAY HAVE TO PAY.
Trustees and Executors of Estates Who
Lost Money in First National.

The failure of the First National bank
will probably involve several estates, in
probate, and also the trustees, executors
and administrators of such estates and
also guardians of minors.
Probably $50. 900 ia money belonging to
estates was on deposit in the First Ma
tional bank, having been deposited there
by the persons appointed by the probate
court to administer the affairs of the
estates In case the persons acting as
guardians, executors or administrators
placed the money on deposit in their
own namess without specifying that the
deposits were made in their official ca
pacity, they will be responsible for the
funds The point which will arise is,
whether those who deposited the funds
as administrators, executors or guard
ians will have to make good the loss as
they were taking all due precautions.
1t is likely that this question viii be

In case Mr.. Kelly is removed,

against an extension of the time given

HOOKER WILL STAY.
Resolution Vacating His Seat on the
Bench Is Defeated.

Albany, July 20.-The question of
the removal from Office of Justice
Warren B, Hooker of Fredonia, came
in final form before the legislature to-
day, when Chairman Fish of the
judiciary committee presented in the
assembly a concurrent resolution call
ing for the removal of Judge Hooker
on the ground that he had been will
fully guilty of corrupt, unlawful and
immoral acts which have tended to
bring and have brought the said Office
of justice of the supreme court and
the administration of justice into con-
tempt and which shows a personal un-
fitness on the part of said Warren B.
Hooker to hold and occupy the Office
of justice of the supreme court"
The removal resolution was definite

ADVANCE FROM KOREA.
Operations Against VIadivostok Are
Being Pushed Vigorously.

Russian Headquarters at the Front,
Oocation not given) July 20.-Jap-
anese advance from Korea is taking on
a more energetic character and is be-
ing pushed toward Mousan, Nangan
and Hasagawa. The Japanese seem to
have received heavy reinforcementS
from Field Marshal Oyama's main
army in front of General Linevitch. A
landing near Vladivostok would not be
surprising as their operations appear
to be concentrating in that direction.
The advance in the island of Sakhalin
has reached VladimirovSka. The jap
anese artillery includes forty machine
guns.

Bradlev Not Surprised.


Receiver ]. T. Bradley of the First
National was told of the failure, but
manifested no surprise.
ST have been expecting the failure
for week. he said. I'VE knew that
the bank was in bad shape"
When asked what connection the
Devlin failure had with the City Ma
tional, he said:
1.-The same causes that brought
about the failure of the First National
caused the failure of the City Ma
tionaI, though I do not know what
direct connection there was. 1 do not
know how much Mr.. Devlin owed the
bank"
Devlin Held No Stock.
The City National bank of Kansas
City which went to the wall this
morning will not affect in any way
City National had no connections with
any banks in the city beyond that with
the First National of which previous
to the failure of the latter it was a
correspondent. One or two of the
banks here had in times past made
COLI ctions for the Kansas City bank
but as these collections were not re-
ciprocal, this act as agent had no
strings tied to it. Local bankers claim
that the Devlin failure could not have
been the sole origin, for the crash as
the 100000 worth of paper which the
bank held against Devlin could have
been more than liquidated by the
100000 capitalization. It was the
presence of other paper which caused
the trouble.
w. f. Thomas, president of the
Southwestern Fuel company of this
city, was heavily involved in the City
National. He was a large stockholder
when the bank was reorganized six
months ago and continued to have a
large part in the transactions of the
institution. 1t is surnised that con-
siderable of his paper was taken by
the bank. That Thomas has been
financially embarrassed since the Dew
lin failure has been generally conceded
and this subsequent crash in the City
National will not, tend to better the
situation. AS the Southwestern Fuel
company was merely selling agent for
the coal from the Devlin mines it is
expected that the failure will not re-
suit anything more material than a
mere withdrawal from the company
of Mr. Thomas, and its reorganization
upon different basis. Thomas lived
in Kansas City.
c. J. Devlin had no stock in the City
National. And the statement that he
was interested as a stockholder, it is
understood, is false.
