COLLAPSE OF BANK WAS

Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-"From the evidence in my possession. the collapse of the Real Estate Trust Company ap- pears to be the result of stupendous footing. I intend to prosecute to the limit persons liable"
 This statement was made tonight by district attorney Bell after a day spent in examining the evidence hand ed him yesterday by Receiver Earle of the defunct company.
 That Frank K. Nipple. the suicide president of the institution was not alone responsible for the crash both receiver Earle and District Attorney Bell are satisfied and arrests may be looked for at any time. The bapk's officers alone may not bear the burden of the responsibility. The receivers and the attorney have devoted much time to the question of the liability of the directors and developments today indicate that at least two of them may be called upon to explain their action in certifying to the correctness of the bank statements which have since proved to be false.

The county commissioners of Es- cambia county, Fla. and Baldwin county, Ala, after an examination of the new steel bridge across the Per dido river, which was built jointly by
 the two counties at a cost of $4.50O.

 It is very likely that when the baseball season opens next sprin ngthere will be new league in existence. Len, Bailey of this city is working upon the proposed new league and his idea has impressed the fans of Selma very favorabiy
 If Bailey's plans are carried through the league will be a six club affair. If will be made up Of teams in Selrna, Anniston. Rome. Chattanooga. Deca- make more compact organiza ton thGl the pesent Cotton States League
 There are several reasons advanced why the formation of league com posed of the, above named cities would be better for Selma than for this city to put a team In the Cotton States League Each one ef the cities mem tioned in North Alabama Is about as large as the majority of the cities which are supporting clubs in the Cot ton States. Besides. all of these cities that
 The cities of the Cotton States League to a great extent dersend upon the cotton crop. If a poor cotton crop Is raised 1t would mean a poor baseball year. On the other hand, the cities of North Alabama depend on coal iron and manufacturing. This gives constant source of revenue and poor crop should cause no falling off in the attendance.
 i It has been some years since these cities have had organize baseball. Tho new league would work up baseball enthusiasm all over the northern part of the State, and 1t is though and that the rivalry though friendly would be very warm. The formation of this league is as yet only in it's infancy, but Bailey, who is old in the baseball business, thinks that the cities would form an ideal circuit and Is inviting opinions on this question from the followers of the game In the cities named.

SCHOOLS WILL OPEN
ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE OF THE
 USUAL TIME.
Institutions of Eseambia County, Flor ida, will Begin Session Today.
 Captain of Mail Boat Badly Hurt.

Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 2.--(Special)- The school year of 19o6-7 for a number of the county schools will open to- morrow, one month in advance of the regular opening date of the city schools, and from prospects and re- ports received in the city, the year will be a most successful one,
 The fact that many of the schools are to begin their terms one month in advance of the regular date, is due to petitions from patrons stating that at this seaaon of the year their chill dren could be better spared from their farms. and that If the schools were allowed to open they would receive more instruction Tho School Board granted the request to a number of them, and tomorrow schools Nos. 4, 5, II. 20, 72, 39 and SO will open for white patrons, while Nos. 6, 19, 3s, 50, 59 and 32 will open for the colored children. The other county schools and the city schools will not open until next month, the county schools for six months term and the city for nine months.
 Arrangements for the opening of the city schools are now being made, and in order to provide accommodations for the large number of pupils which will this year receive instruction at the public school the school board has found 1t necessary to erect an addi- tional building on school lot No. 1, which will he known as school No 1 addition. This building is to com mence at once and be completed be- fore the term opens. and will be used by the two sections of grades five and six which have heretofore been crowd ed out of No. 1 and have been taught at school No. 2, but this new building will be needed by the primary grades. and 1t became necessary to find a place for grades five and six.
 The school examinations will begin Tuesday and there will be about thir- ty-five white teachers and many col ored ones to appear for examination. As the county is in need of teachers, many of them will find employment during the year.

M|NNEHAHA
PARK OPENS

Minnehaha park was re-opened
Sunday under new management.
Several hundred people journeyed
to the resort and enjoyed the free
dom of the grounds.
During the day the crowd was
we'll behaved but in the evening a
gang of rowdies under the influ-
ence of drink created considerable
trouble.
The new manager promises that
such an occurrence will not be re-
peated and says that he will insist
upon order at all times and will
conduct the park in strictly re-
spectacle manner.
Minnehaha park Is admirably sit
uated and should be popular re-
treat for the people of Spokane,
and 1t seems too bad that young
men, old enough to know better,
should persist in disgraclng them
selves and injuring the business of
men that have many dollars invest
ed in the park. Special officers will
be employed hereafter and the first
rowdy that creates a disturbance
will be severely dealt with.

Kennan's ruling in the matter. How
ever, just before noon Judge Ken

is over the Lucille Dreyfus stock
which has been in the courts a
long time. Howard Kressley, the
former secretary, hypothecated the
stock to pay for his gambling debts,
and those who received this fraudu-
lent stock brought an action to have
the courts order it replaced with

CARBOLIC ACID

Despondent and almost penniless,
Belle G. Spencer, a stenographer,
committed suicide in her room at

body was found during the after
noon by w. H. Clare. the boarding

bed was found a bag of cookies and
in her pocket there was Just 80
cents. She was SO years old and
came here from Shakopee, Mimi,
where she had been postmistress
for Is years. Coroner Witter was
called, but failed to find the bottle
which had contained the acid. The
cork was found and also a glass
which still had some of the death
dealing substance left in it. The
woman's lips and mouth were very
badly burned. The body was taken

state, according to Fitzgerald, that
he was unable to do thing, and
dropped from weakness and ex'
haustion. Fitzgerald picked him up,
made a bed in the bottom of the
wagon and brought the sick boy to
town. His condition, they say, is
caused directly by lack of proper
attendance and care on the part of
the Home Finding association.
Chief Waller was seen this morn
ing and said: 81 told them to take
care of the boy and to give him the
attendance of physician, and they
promised to call either DR.. Grey or
DR.. Semple. l do not know how
badly the boy Is. They didn't offer
to show him to me-"
The mere fact that the authori-
ties of the home didn't show the
boy to the chief of police is signifi-
can't as 1t in part bears out the
statement of Fitzgerald that the
boys face was swelled as though
from the effects of a whipping.
President Williams says the boy
has a bad cold and that his face is
not swollen. He has called a ply
stefan, but at O'Clock today he
admitted the doctor had not ar
rived at the home.
