BELIEVE AER0NAUT
DROWNED IN LAKE
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu 1TeSS,
CHICAGO, Sept. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Oconto, Wis, says:
After drifting helplessly fourteen
miles 2O00 feet above the earth in an
airship he could not control, William
Matteray. a Chicago aeronaut, who
made an ascension from here last night,
disappeared from view.
When last seen Matteray's unman-
ageable aerial craft was lowering un-
certainly over Green Bay, still buoyant
and drifting out over Lake Michigan.
Matteray made the ascension against
his judgment knowing that the ma
chinery had been broken and splced.
But the crowds, eager to see a man
risk his life. declared that the story OF
the broken propeller shaft was told as a
ruse to avoid making an ascension
Therefore Matteray went up just to
make good"
People living along the west coast OF
Green bay have failed to discover any
trace of the aeronaut.
The general opinion seems to prevail
that the airship descended into Lake
Michigan and that the aeronaut was
drowned.

LEADER GUERRA
STILL DEFIANT
Confined from nnre one.

that the Liberal leaders had declined to
hold any further proceedings to con-
slider peace, owing to the action Of the
government in arresting prominent
Liberals while the negotiations were in
progress.
a dispatch from Clenfuegos, province
of Santa Clara, today says that in an
engagement between government troops
and insurgents near Palmira yesterday
the former lost two men killed and
fourteen wounded while the insurgents
lost six men killed and twenty wounded.
The dispatch adds that more govern
ment troops deserted to the insurgents
today from Cienfuegos.
The attitude of the Liberals, the in
creasing strength of the insurgents
and the questionable loyalty of many
of the government recruits have caused
the mana gers of some of the large busi-
ness interests to cable to the foreign
heads of their companies their belief
that the government of President
Palma will be unable to cope with the
insurrection.

On Sunday morning, February IL,
The Herald exclusively announced the
whereabouts of Henry p. Barbour. By
that time other papers had placed him
in Vermont, Europe and Canada. But
the guesses proved to be wild ones,
for he was in Ensenada,

some of his closest Los Angeles
friends
A prominent attorney of Los Angeles
visited him there In the hope of aiding
him to untangle his affairs, The at

persuade him to remain in the state, -
said the attorney, "He is not fugi-
tive from justice, he Is simply doing
what many other men do under SINH

the racket. He felt that he could not
work TO advantage In Los Angeles. All

taken Is nonsense"

is not certain what course will be pur-

firmed last night.
The feeling is general, however, that
Phelan is in a. receptive mood; that he
can unite all the forces; that he will be
unanimously nominated, and that he
can readily defeat Gillett and the rail-
road machine ticket.
Robert G.. Loucks, the city attorney
of Pomona, will be the candidate of the
Los Angeles delegation for the nomina-
ton of attorney general. Mr.. Loucks
has gained much prominence through

Disappears In February
Henry p. Barbour disappeared Feb
ruary 5. on that day, when one Los
Angeles newspaper reported him flying
to Canada. and another to Mexico he
was interviewed by Herald reporter
at the Douglas block.
At that time he declared he had no
intention of leaving Los Angeles. He
admitted being financially embarrassed
and said that owing to the impor-
tunity of his creditors he was shutting
himself away from all visitors.
1t was known for long time before
this that he was a heavy and rather
rash Spectator in the real estate
market, but the termination of his
connection with the Los Angeles Dock
and Terminal company under peculia r
circumstances came as a big surprise.
1t was then reported that he had fled
leaving $250,OOO in debts behind him.
Burks Expresses Confidence
AT that time Dana Burks, president
of the Los Angeles Dock and Termina
company, said he had no reason to
believe that Mr. Barbour was dis
honest man.
How much he owes l have no
means of knowing" said Mr.. Burks,
but have the fullest confidence in
Mr.. Barbour as man ana cannot be-
lieVe that he would be dishonest and
flee from the city. He has no reasons
for such actions.
Barbour was Instrumental In sellln q
to the company the land that It ac-
quired about the proposed harbor, and
he was given a block of stock as his
commission. In all his dealings he
was always strictly upright, but In his
private business he was a large specu-
lator and took a good many risks.
when the directorate saw that Mr.
Barbour was putting himself forwa rd
too much and that he was being
quoted too much In the press as one
OF the leaders OF the company II was
thought best to have him step out

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.--Secretary
Shaw has made public a circular letter
dated today, to all national bank de-
positories, I'm which he says in effect
that he expects public moneys in de-
pository banks to be used In the com
munities where 1t Is deposited, and not
loaned through brokers and other
agents In New York for speculative
purposes.
The letter is as follows.
II am advised that many banks
scattered throughout the country are
loaning their surplus funds through
brokers and others in New York on
call at high rates rates of interest.
money loaned on call is we'll nigh
universally for speculative use. 1
recognize the right of any individual
to speculate In stocks or In bonds, or
in the legal right of any bank to loan
money at appropriate rates of inter-
est at home or abroad on ample Sc
curity, even with the knowledge that
1t is being used for speculative pur-
poses.
II am not willing, however, that
government money shall be enticed
been deposited for the purpose of be-
ing used in this way. Public deposits
are made in aid of legitimate business
as distinguished from speculation,
whatever its nature.
Depository city banks are expected
to loan at regular rates or not at all
and they must not be tempted to act
as agents instead of correspondents
for other depository banks in making
call loans at high rates.
i'If you have more money than your
community can appropriately absorb
please return 1t to the treasury, for it
can be promptly be placed where it
will do much good. This does not ap-
ply to banks with large reserves reg

LETTER CREATES SURPRISE

viii Be Respected
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 7-Secretary
Shaw's letter on the use of public
money for specula tive purposes created
a great deal of surprise in banking cir
cles in this city, where it was believed
that a good deal of the money to be
deposited by the government at inte-
rior points would speedily be diverted
to this center.
Special interest was shown in the
secretary's order enjoining depository
banks from lending government money
at high rates. 1t was recognized by
New York bankers that the trade is in
a position to maintain a close watch OH
the operations of the depository banks
in this connection, because of the re-
port made by them five times a year to
the comptroller of the currency.
