BANK WRECKERS.
Are at Work in Chicago Trying to
Alarm DepOsitOrs.

Chicago. Jan. 1S.-Complaint has
been made at several banks that de-
positors are being called by telephone
and advised by persons whose Identity
is not known to withdraw their de-
posts from the institution. The de-
Dosftor is told with much evidence of
concern that he had better get his
money out of the particular institu-
ton in which he happens to have it
lodged. Depositors in three of the
richest banks in the city have been
given this unsolicited advice.
John J. Mitchell. president of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank, said:
''This business is to me inexplicable
There is absolutely no occasion for
alarm and the persons telephoning or
advising depositOrs to take their
money out of the banks are either
foolish or malicious We have been
trying to run down the source of these
stories.
..Three banks have had the exper-
ience with their depositors. There
should be some way to put an end to
these unwarranted efforts to frighten
timid persons.

BIGELOW WONT TELL.
Magazine Writer Refuses to Disclose
sourse of Canal Information.

Washington, Jan. 18-Poultney Bige-
low, the magazine writer, who was de-
nounced by Secretary Taft for his crit
icism of the management of canal af-
fairs, declined to disclose to the senate
canal committee the source of his in
formation.
Upon being instructed to answer, he
declared: The committee can put me
on bread and water or even condemn me
TO Colon, but it can not compel me to
divulge that which was given me in
confidence"
The committee went into executive
session to determine what course should
be taken
Mr.. Bigelow's statement was made
when the public hearings in the invest-
cation of questions relating to the Pan
anna canal were begun today before the
senate committee on interOceanic
canals. Mr.. Bigelow was the first wit
ness. On motion of Mr.. Morgan the
oath was presented to the witness, but
Mr.. Bigelow said he was Quaker and
therefore he was permitted to affirm
rather than swear"
He was then asked to tell his story in
his own way.
I am embarrassed to appear in any
+ capacity before a respectable body after
having been described as sensation
monger from an official source said
! L.. H
! put himself right and proceeded to tell
of his public works, where he had lee
i tured and the respectable BODIES tlIat
have done him honor He said he was
not attempting to get advertising or to
sell his books by such testimony bat be
/ Iieved that in the face of the attack
made upon him such testimony is per
/ tinent In terms of great familiarity he
referred to men of letters and public
men in high standing in an effort to set
himself right.
What He Saw.
LAS to what 1 saw personally on the
! isthmus." said Mr.. BigelOw, Il viii
say that I had the better part of two
days. arriving at Colon at 10 O'Clock
+ in the morning.
Going to a map of the 1sthmuS ne
pointed out that 1aborers were landed
! in an oozy swamp of pestilent char
4 acter and he asserted the sanitation
was of the worst character. He said
+ that to use names would subject the
! persons who hlped him in getting his
/ information to embarrassment and
make their names worth nothing by
/ the time official replies were conclud-
ed"
In reference to his article in the In
/ dependent. he said that it had been
/ declined by Harpers and Golfers
weeklies before it was accepted by the
! Independent.
Replying to an inquiry by Mr.. Cor
man the witness SAID ne nau not rep
resented any American interest on the
I isthmus.
Returning to a discussion of his visit
to the isthmus Mr.. BigelOw said he
/ spent most of the time Investigating
sanitary conditions. He thought he
had been in grave danger there be-
4 cause of the fact that Secretary Taft
/ and Governor Magoon had not been
through these swamps and that there
must have been some good reason fol-
4 their avoidance of these places.
The executive session continued for
/ an hour when an adjournment was
taken until 2:3O p. m. No decision was
! reached as to what action shall be
taken concerning Mr.. Bigelow's con-
/ tumacy.

TWO PLANS ARE NOW ON FOOT
FOR TuNNELlNG THE Al.
LEeHENY MOUNTAINS.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2T.-The ia
nous Horseshoe Curve on the Penn.
sylvania is to be eliminated.
Two methods are proposed and four
sets of plans have been prepared,
Two plans are for tunnels through the
Allegheny mountains, one nine miles
and the other eleven miles long. 9th
or plans are new routes across the
mountains; one 90 and the other 1O5
miles long. The nine mile tunnel
plan probably will be adopted.
The tunnel would enter the noun.
tain at or near Kittanning-PoInt and
emerge between Cresson and Lilly
This would be the second longest tun'
mel Of the world. 1t will accommo-
date four tracks and will be ventil'
ated with shafts reaching the crests
of the mountains. All operations
through it will be by electric power
The cost Of the tunnel and connec
tfons with the main line are estimat'
cd at more than $15,OOO,OOO.
