THIS BANK CLOSED One of the Oldest Banking Houses in Chelsea in Charge of the
 Bank Examiner
READY MONEY IS TIED UP

Boston, Aug 17.-The business community of Chelsea was surprised when 1t became known that the First National bank of that city, one of the oldest financial institutions in this section of the state, had been closed and Bank Examiner Alfred Ewer placed in charge. Many of the small tradesmen have, practically all of their ready money tied up in the bank, but it is expected that relief will be affected by the Winnisimet National bank of Chelsea, which has offered to pay to depositors of the First National, 50 per cent of their accounts. The remaining banks in Chelsea have put a few thousand dol- lars to their credit at the First Ma tional and will not be directly af- fected by the dificulty.
 At an early hour this mornin Bank Examiner Ewer notified the po- lice department that he would prob ably need the services of officers in front of the First National bank this forenoon.

YOUTHS IN THEIR TEENS
Confess to Several Hold Ups. One of Which Resulted in a Murder at
 Ocean Boulevard
BOY CONFESSED THE CRIME

San Francisco, Aug 17.-With a coolness and nonchalance that amaz- ed the police, Fred Peterson, William Meares, Walter Westwood and Frank McAuliffe, four youths still in their teens, last night confessed that they are the quartet that committed the series of holdups which eliminated in the killing of Fred Mullineaux on the Ocean boulevard last Sunda. night.
 Peterson, who is IT years of age, admitted that he fired the shot which killed Mullineaux when the latter re- sisted robbery.
 McAuliffe, aged IS, was arrested Wednesday and after being subject ed to most severe examination, broke down, admitted he was one of the quartet and gave the names of the other three.
 Peterson last night told in minute detail of the robbery of four persons an hour before the murder of Mulli- neaux, and a holdup on the boulevard the night previous.
 Westwood, the acknowledged lead CT of the youthful gang. is but 16 years of age, and resided with his mother and stepfather, Patrick Ryan. He admitted that he was the gun holder in the other robberies and that 1t was Peterson's turn when Mullineaux was held up. Meares is IS years of age.

SIGNS MRS LESLIE CARTER.
End of a Fiercely Waged Contest for
 the Services of a Great Actress.

New York, Aug 17.-Mrs Leslie Carter-Payne signed the contract yesterday afternoon by which she will become star under the man. agement of Charles B. Dillingham; for the next five years. The parties to the agreement went in an automobile to the offices of Edward Lauterbach, Mrs Carter-Payne's counsel, where a few strokes of pen completed the formalities.
 Thus ends the most fiercely waged contest for the services of a great actress that has been known in the theatrical profession for a genera tion. Nine prominent managers have been bidding consistently to get con- trol of Mrs Carter-Payne's future, and not one would own himself beat en. Hardly any of these knew that Mir Dillingham; was among the bid ders. so secretly and adroitly has he worked.
 The one prominent manager in New York who has remained abso- lutely indifferent to the outcome Is David Belasco. Mrs Carter-Payne's old-time friend and business associ- ate. who discovered her talents, de- veloped them and trained her for the place she now occupies on the stage.

SLOPER FORGED OUT We'll Known Now Britain Man and E-Ssnator Writes an Open Let-
 tor About It
CANNOT STAND THE ABUSE

New Britain, Aug 17.-Ex-Senator A. J. Sloper handed copy of the let ter to Chairman Kenealy of the re- publican state central committee an nouncing the withdrawal of his can didacy for lieutenant governor to the representative of the Associated Press to-day:
 New Britain, Conn, Aug 16, 1906. Hon Michael Kenealy, chairman state
 central committee.
 My dear slr:--When my candidacy for lieutenant governor was first sug- gested by Mir Hartman, our repre- sentative on the committee he had the approval and promise of support of influential party leaders in Hartford, and 1t was hoped by my friends in Hartford and New Britain that the former antagonism between the two cities might be reconciled. The mat ter was also submitted sto friends of mine through the state and in no case did 1t meet with opposition, but from every county had assurance of sup port. The opinion has also been practically unanimous that my candi- dacy would in no way interfere with that of Judge Holcomb, as his nomi- nation was absolutely certain.
 You said to me yourself in answer to my letter of May 9th that you did not believe that my candidacy would interfere with his. and that with the endorsement I had 1t would result in New Brltain's claims being recognized and you hoped that 1t would settle past differences between Nv Britain and Hartford.
 It has recently become evident that the locality question has been forced as an issue and my candidacy has called out the mist unfair and un- justif1able attack, not only upon my self, but upon others as we'll.
 l do not feel called upon to submit any longer to what seems to be sys- tenn of misrepresentation, though from the assurances of my friends throughout the state believe would receive the nomination in the convention and that Hartford itself Woufu glve me ne maJorlty or the votes of it's delegates.
 While I believe, as think and most of my friends do, that can be nominated yet cannot in justice to my family, my business and myself submit any further to unjust and un. merited abuse and therefore with draw from the contest.
 To my friends throughout the state and especially to my friends In Hart ford who have assured me of theiI willingness to stand by me and the city of New Britain, I want to express my thanks and my sincere apprecia. ton. With my personal regards to yourself, I am,
 Yours very truly,
 A. J. SLOPER.

MOODY AND THE
 PRESIDENT TALK Tho Former Says the Discussion Was Over Appointments to the
 Federal Bench THREE LUNCHE0NS TO-DAY President Kept Busy With His Guests s-Message From Citi-
 zens of Texas.

t. E
 Oyster Bay, l.. l., Aug 17.--Attor- ney General Moody who was Q guest of President Roosevelt last night left Oyster Bay for Washington to-day. He said he had discussed with the president the matter of filling several vacancies on the federal bench. The conclusions reached, he said. would be announced later, when the presi- dent made the appointments which had been decided on. Nothing except routine matters were talked about he said and no reference made to Stand ard Oil Suits.
 Prsident Roosevelt will have three luncheon guests today, General John NJ. Wilson, retired, who was chair man of the last inaugural committee, and who came to Oyster Bay from Washington; Cleveland NJ. Dodge, of New York, who is an old friend of President Roosevelt and prominently connected with '. NJ. c. A. work and Colonel C0bbes, an English army of ficer, who is in this country making observations.
 The message from committee of citizens in Brownsville, Texas, re- questing that the Degro troops who committed an outrage there last Mon day night, be replaced by white sold iers, was received to-day by President Roosevelt, who at once referred the despatch to the war department with request that an immediate report upon the matter be made to him. No action upon the committees request will be taken by the president pend- ing receipt of the reports from the war department.

THE BUCKINGHAM
 CLAIMED BY TWO MessIs Whittemore and Humphrey May Call on the Law to
 Settle Ii
THERE ARE TWO CLAIMANTS.
The Man That Got The First Says He is Going to Stick to
 the Name.

Will John H. Whittemore and F. G. Humphrey go into the courts to determine which of them has first claim on the name Buckingham or is 1t something that they are able to get together on and fix 1t, up between themselves? This is question which nobody outside themselves know at this time and it is doubtful if even they have reached anything definite on the matter. The big building owned by MT Whittemore at the cor ner of Bank and Grand streets Is named the Buckingham and the same name has been given to the hand some apartment block erected on West Main street owned by MT Hum- phrey. It is said that Humphreys block was finished first and the build- ing named, but on the other hand the claim is put forward that the name Buckingham was decided upon for the Whittemore block long be- fore 1t was finished and that MT Humphrey must have been aware of that because his company set stock there marked Buckingham" In any case the double is already causing some confusion and it will be worse later on when both buildings become better known. Either will have to drop that name and this is a most opportune time to settle the question, but 1t appears both are anxious to hold the original name. In case the matter should go into the courts 1t would make quite an interesting case. Many would like to know if a man calls his block by certain name does that deny somebody else from hang ing out shingle over another block and calling it the same name. Sup posing, for example, somebody named Buckingham should put up a block and want 1t named for himself, can somebody who had already given that name to block prevent such thing being done? Some of the lawyers say If one man or corporation has adopted a certain name nobody else can use 1t even though the name hap pens to ae that of his father or his own for that matter. If this be so the point to determine between MT Whittemore and Mir Humphrey would be. which first put out the name on his property.

MINERS CANDIDATES WIN.
The Two old Parties Beaten in thu
 Political Fight at Alaska.

Seattle, Wash. Aug 17.-Cale and Waskey, the candidates of the miners of Alaska, have carried the Nome country, known as the second judicial district, by handsome pluralities. Their election is now conceded by all. Special dispatches to the Post Intel ligencer give the following results in all precincts heard from, including the Panama country. Nome and the Seward peninsula, Valdez, Sitka. Ju- neau and Skagway:
 Long term, Thomas Gale (miners) |. 4,643; short term, Waskey (miners) i. 4,342; c. D. Murane (republican) {, 1902: ex-Governor Swineford tdem- ocrat), 1.137; Judge Mellen (demo- crat), SCI. Gale carried Juneau as did Swineford.
 The first election for the delegate to congress from the district of Alas ka has passed off quietly, the dis patches recording few cases of dis turbance and none of fraud at the polls. The miners have given em- phatic expression as to- their choice, as Gale and waskey were placed in the field after the two leading politi- cal parties had decided to be repre- sented.

TEST OF ENDURANCE.
Roosevelt Cup Trial Races Has Now
 Developed Into That.

Marblehead, Mass. Aug 1.-The Roosevelt cup trial races. which are being conducted this week by the Eastern Yacht club for the purpose of selecting three American defend CTS against the German challengers. are rapidly becoming a question of endurance. Six races in four days have turned sport into something akin to hard work. while not few of the shippers are nearing the belief that the chances of their boats being chosen are fEiing with each race.
 Realizing that the strain of hard racing is becoming greater each day, and also that the crowding at the line. especially on starts to the wind ward, places some of the faster yachts in unfortunate positions. the regatta committee planned yesterday to begin the elimination process after the two races to-day.
 The racing during the past four days has undoubtedly been the best of the season. from the small boat standpoint. and even if some of the boats. are dropped. their owners will have had good sport.
 Early conditions to-day resembled very much those that prevailed at the same time yesterday. Sunrise found a thin haze on the water and very little wind. but few hours later the mist disappeared and a breeze began to fan in from sea. giving promise of another day of moderate racing weather.
 Most of the yachts were toved out to the starting line on account of the light breeze and the regatta com- miftee decided to postpone the start beyond II o'clock. the usual starting hour. in the hope that the breeze would strengthen
