DEP0SIT0RS GET MONEY Bank Examiner Pays Chelsea People Fifty Per Cent of Their
 Deposits MANY PEOPLE IN LINE

Chelsea, Aug 1S.-The alarm of the depositors of the First National bank of this city, which was placed in the hands of bank Examiner Alfred Ewer last Thursday was somewhat dispelled today when they were per mitted to borrow 90 per cent of their deposits from the Winnisimet bank after having had their bank books certified by examiner. So anxious were these depositors to secure cash that when the doors of the First Na- tional bank were opened at 9:30 o'clock this morning, nearly POO peO- pie filed in to have the necessary certification made by MT Ewer. Stockholders of the First National are not permitted to borrow at the Winnisimet bank on the strength of their deposits.
 Aside from the assistance rendered by the Winnisimet bank, there was no apparent change in the situation to- day. Bank Examiner Ewer. aided by large force of clerks, continued his examination of the company's books. He again declined to discuss the alleged irregularities which are said to have brought on the banks failure.

ALL ARE PLEASED
 AT THE MEETING King and Emperor Discussed Many Questions in Presence of Diplom-
 atc Representatives POLICIES TO BE PURSUED Were Talked Over and an Amica- ble Agreement Has Been
 Reached.

Berlin, Aug 18.-Great satisfac- ton prevails at the foreign office here over the results of the meeting at Friedrichshof between King Edward and Emperor William. The latter has expressed himself as highly sat isfied with the outcome of his per- sonal conference with the king. The discussions between the monarchs in the presence of their diplomatic rep resentatives covered many political questions of interest to both couE- tries, without aiming at reaching specific arrangements, but with the view of coming to satisfactory un- derstanding respecting the policies pursued by the two countries. This was accomplished in the main and the foreign office expects to see the improvement in the relations be- tween them continue. The recent friendly demonstrations, originating among the British and German peo- ples from dissatisfaction with the political hostilities attributed to the two governments, facilitated the Friedrichshof meeting, since King Edward had no desire to see German antiquities continually attributed to him. So far as the report of per- sonal arrangement between the two monarchs. is concerned, this has been wholly dissipated by the personal talks at Friedrichshof and their rela- tions have now grown cordial.

WILL HAVE NO HIGH SCHOOL.
Town Has the Money, but Material
 Costs Too Much.

Danielson, Aug 1S.-Because the price of building material has risen SO much in the past few months the town of Danielson probably cannot have a high school building.
 At the annual town meeting last October the town voted an appropri- ation of $50,0O0 for new high school building and appointed a building committee to procure plans and specifications for building to be constructed within the appropria- ton. The committee hired an archi- tect and go the plans and specifica- tions, which 1t was thought would come within the appropriations.
 The town was made a present of lot for the building by former townsman. John w. Danielson of Providence. R. I. On opening the bids it was found they were all above the appropriation. The price of building material had advanced SO much that 1t was impossible to build at the fig- ure proposed. The committee then went to try to cut down the plans to come within the s50.0o0. but could not. At a town meeting last Mon- day the committee asked the town for an additional appropriation of s15.- 900. The town voted down the prop osit,on by vote of 1lS to 33.

MADE 1.4oo-MILE TRIP.
H. c. Cairns of Chicago Visits His
 Parents in Bristol.

Hartford, Aug 1S.-Harry G.. Cairns of the Electric Vehicle com pany's Chicago branch is visiting his parents in Bristol. Mir Cairns. who has been absent from Hartford for the the past six years. drove 45- horsepower Columbia car over the road from Chicago. to Bristol, tue to- tai mileage being in excess of l,40O miles. The roads along the route are reported as being in good condition. The car. Mir Cairns says. performed most satisfactorily. Several auto par lies were met during the trip. Stops were made at Toledo and Cleveland, O.. Buffalo, Niagara Falls. Syracuse, Albany, New York and Hartford. But two punctures occurred during the entire trip.
 Mir Cairns regards the outlook for i0OI in Chicago as being very promis- ing high powered cars and light cleo tries are in demand. Chicago. because of its absence of hills. is well adapted to electrics and hundreds of them are fin use. Mir Cairns, though born in tbe east, thinks well of the west. He drove one of the 45-horse-power CO Iumbias which completed the Elgin- Aurora reliability runwith a perfect score and without any trouble.
 He viewed the historic Connecticut river yesterday for the first time in six years. and says it takes him back to other days when the old "Pequot'' stream wns fiji fo swim In. Mir Cairns will return to Chicago this evening.

NO MORE EARTH
 DISTURBANCES Instruments at Washington Show No Movements Since the One of
 Thursday NO NEWS FROM CHILE Received at Washington Up to Noon Confirmation of Earthquake
 From Many Sources.

Washington, Aug 18-The records of the seismographs at the weather bureau, taken from the instruments this morning, show that there have been no earth movements here since that of Thursday afternoon and even ing which undoubtedly were due to the Chilean earthquake. Of great in- terest to the weather bureau officials is the fact that Thursdays record shows that the heaviest east and west movement was at A minutes and 10 seconds past seven. D. m., and the strongest north and south movement did not occur until eight minutes later. The north and south move ment was the heaviest the earth movement being dver quarter of an inch.
 At 1O:3O o'clock this morning neith- CT the state department nor the Chilean legation had received any re- port of the earthquake in Chile. The Chilean minister to Washington, Mir Walker r-Martinez, is attending the Pan-American conference and in his absence Manuel J. Vega is In charge of the Washington legation. Manuel J. Vega is dependent entirely upon the newspapers for news of the dlsater. Because of the admirable construction of buildings in Valparaiso Mr Vega is not inclined to believe that the loss of life has been heavy.

FOOD INSPECTOR BITTEN BY MAD Dl ' DT. ?. l. KeeIey Had a LiIsJ on Wolcot Street 1hk
 Morning 4 LARGE GREY HOUND Bit Him Several Times- He HaS Gone to Take the Pastsur
 Cure.

In consequence of severe struggl4. this forenoon with a supposedly mAd dog at the residence of Mrs Margaret Mcdonald, 92 Wolcott street, Dr P. F. Keeley deemed it prudent for him to go to New York this afternoon to take the Pasteur cure as prevens tative against possible rabies.
 About II o'clock the doctor rot word to go to the Mcdonald houne to dispose of mad dog, a big grey hound, which, by the way, has bean a family pet for years. The doctor went, accompanied by his brother John, but neither took with them means of defense or anything with which to dispose of the animal, it being the wish of the owner to have the animal taken away before dis posing of it. When he arrived at the house the dog was on veranda and he tried to induce 1t to move around so that he could snap a chain on to it's collar.
 The dog went into the room of tho veranda. The doctor got up on sofa and the dog went for him, nippina him several times on the right len below the knee. He then stopped down to catch the animal and i1 caught him on both hands. He knew then he was in for it and he tried t0 pry open the dogs jaws This meant. a struggle and the doctors brother, seeing he was getting the worst of 1t, took out his knife and ripped open the dogs throat. Gradually then it released its hold as 1t became weak from loss of blood, but 1t was almost dead before its jaws relaxed entire ly. The doctors hands were badly scratched. He rendered first aid to the injured to himself and he took the dogs brains to New York to have them examined for rabies.

Consul Orzuear's Statement.

New York, Aug 1S.-Consul Gen Adolfo Orzugar for Chile in this city, issued the following statement to-day regarding the earthquake in valparai- so:
 Up to the present moment we are without official news as to the pro portion of the earthquake which oc- cured In the .Cordilleras of the Andes had upon Valparaiso. The failure of communication was due to the fact that the telegraph lines which unite Chile and Argentine have been cut in the cordllleras of the Andes. My personal opinion is that the accident has not reached the proportions which have been credited to 1t. Special cables received by the house of W. R. Grace S Co. by way of Lima. Pe- I'll. state that their building at Valpa- raiso Is safe and had not suffered the least shock. This building is situated in the most central part of the city and besides 1t is an old one. which makes me suppose that the shock. al- though grave. has not had the ter rible consequences which have been announced. The central point of the cataclysm must have been situated in the suburbs of Uspallatay, from where Valparaiso In Chile and Men doza in Argentine have received strong convulsions but not as great proportions as have been reported.'

TABLET FOR JOHN W. SMITH.
Will Be Unveiled at Groton by Odd
 Fellows on Labor Day.

The board of managers of the Odd Fellows home, Groton, has voted to hold a basket picnic on the home grounds on Labor day, September 8, and a cordial invitation has been re- ceived by all the Odd Fellows lodges in the state to participate.
 An interesting program has been promised. One of the special features will be the unveiling of a bronze tab let presented by the past grand parti- archs of Connecticut in memory of the late F., G. P. G. M. and P. G. R. John w. Smith of Waterbury. A bas- ket luncheon will be enjoyed, and clam chowder and coffee will be pro- vided free to all.
 The board of managers has asked that the secretaries of the, different lodges notify Wallace R. Johnson of New London, as early as possible of the number to be present. so that ad- equate arrangements can be made for their reception and entertain ment
 Special rates have been secured from the railroad company, which will require only half fare on the return trip from Groton. The occa- sion will afford an excellent oppor- tunity for inspecting the home, and a number from here will undoubtedly take advantage of it.
 The Uniformed Rank, K. of P, of the state will hold its field day exer- cises in New London on Labor day, which will be an added attraction for taking the trip.

The weather was with Waterbury to-day and for the first time in three weeks the fans were able to see pro- fessional ball at State League park. Hartford appeared for doublc-head- CT and was accompanied by a large delegation of rooters. The attepdance when the first game started was es- timated at about 2,OOO. The batteries are Luyster and Kritchel for the visi- tors and Farley and Thackara for the home team. Eddie Curley is officiat- ing. In the first two innings neither side scored but in the third Hartford sent two men around the bases and brought in the first runs. In the last of the third Waterbury failed to score.

ONLY SIX ARE LEFT.
Defendants of Roosevelt Cup Were
 Seventeen at the Start.

Marblehead, Mass, Aug S.-As a result of the elimination process among the candidates for the defen- dants of the Roosevelt cup, only six of the seventeen yachts that have been racing this week prepared to- day for further trials in order that the regatta committee of the Eastern Yacht club might settle on three to meet the German challengers. The six yachts left for the two races to- day were the Aux, owned by c. F. Adams of the Quincy Yacht club, the Bonidrei. owned by G. H. Wightman of the Hingham Yacht club; the Caramba, owned by c. H. w. Foster, the Spoke, owned by F. Lewis Clark, and the Sumatra, owned by Francis Skinner, all of the Eastern Yacht club; and the Vim, owned by Trenor l.. Park of the New York Yacht club. It was planned to give these yachts triangular race of two miles to a leg, followed by a windward or lee ward race with the turning buoy two miles from the start.
 ine decision of the regatta com mittee last night in inviting only six of the seventeen aspirants to con- tinue the racing was received and accepted in good part by the less for tunate yacht owners.
 The Roosevelt cup races begin two weeks from Monday and two of the three German challengers are already on the scene of action, while the third will be in Marblehead harbor within a few days. Both the boats that have arrived, Glueckauf W and the Wannsee, have been out every day. They have tried few conclu- sions with some of the American boats and have proven themselves very fast yachts.
 When the committee reached half way rock the starting point 1t was gratified to find the wind breezing up from the southwest and there was no delay in sending the boats off on scheduled time. The signals pointed for windward and leeward course. The yachts were sent away at 1O:40 with the Caramba in the lead. Spo- kane second and Aux third.
 Under the new racing rules the committee allowed the yachts two minutes to get over the line and timed them as they went over.
