TELLER OF BANK KILLS SELF.
Driven to Death by Criticism Of Neigh.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Frank Kowalski,
for five years paying teller of the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank, which fail
ed last Monday, and for some time as
sistant receiving teller in addition to
his other duties, shot and killed him
self last night in his home here. Criti-
cism by neighbors and lifelong friends,
who accused him of a share in the
downfall of the bank. is believed to
have driven Kowalski to his death.
For two days he had been respondent
and the members of his family have
kept close watch over him.
The climax Of his trouble was reach
ed Thursday night, when a woman
whom he had known for years accost-
ed him on the street and accused him
of being responsible for the failure Of
the bank.
Complained Of Criticisms.
Kowalski complained bitterly Of the
suspicious of his friends. and declared
that unless his character was speedily
cleared he would take his life.
Kowalski's relatives assert their
firm belief that he was innocent of
any knowledge as-to the mismanage-
ment Of the bank by President Stems
land. When the bank failed kowalski
had $500 of his own money on deposit,
and his immediate relatives had nearly
$50D00. Had the teller known Of
Stenland's defalcations, they assert, he
would at least have notified his rela-
tives and would have withdrawn his
own money.

THE AGED CLERKS SHOW Up
FINELY.

The furore caused by the Introduction
of the Tawney amendment against aged
clerks in Government employ has done
the unexpected good service of bring
ing the matter to head. The public
has heard so much about the great
numbers of old and decrepit clerks in
Government employ that it has feared
that wheels would stop from the per-
vading senility. Naturally the Civil
Service Commission was instructed to
investigate and report to the President.
Carefully prepared blanks were sent
out to all the Departments. which have
now been received back. their informa-
ton tabuIated and studied. and reported
to the President. who Will probably
soon make the report public. So far
all that is given out is that the reports
show there are in the Departments 1,5S7
clerks above the age of 65. OF this
number 1S9 hold their positions on ac-
count of their war records. The oldest
man in the service is 81 years There
is one who is 80. Three are Sc, four
S5; five, S4: six. SO; II. 50: II. 81: 1S,
50; Is. 79; 25. rs; %, II. and A. 76.
The quality of work done by these
men is carefully graded. the results be-
ing: Excellent 374; good. 6S2: average.
229; fair, PSI; poor. 80.
This is a surprisingly good showing
for the clerks of advanced years. though
1t was not unexpected by those who
are personally acquainted with those
men, and know the alertness of their
minds and the rich store of experience
and knowledge their long years have
given them.
Now, it is in order to demand a SINH
lar report as to the clerks who are
under so. We risk nothing in predict
ing that it will fall far short of showing
that one-fourth of them are doing 'ex-
cellent' work, and One-half doing
good as is the case with those past

THE TYPE OF THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.

1t may be regarded as virtually set
tied that the type of the Isthmian
Canal will be some form of the lock
system. The Senate has been taking
voluminous testimony for months, but
possibly the strongest factor in arriv-
ing at conclusion is letter from
Chief Engineer Stevens, dated before
the publication of the conclusions of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, in
which he stated that the whole engi-
neerinG staff were unanimously in fa-
vor of a high-lcvel lock canal. He did
not find among all his engineering as-
sociates a single man in favor of the
sea-lcvel and many of them We're ac-
lively hostile to it. He claimed that
his and their conclusions should have
the more weight, as they were derived
from actual study upon the ground Of
all the conditions affecting the construc-
ton of the canal, and that they should
greatly overbear theoretical opinions
derived from ideal conceptions by men
who never saw the Isthmus.

and is regarded as the most serious of
the seven. The penalty is fixed at
fine of from $1,000 to 0.O0O for each
violation and also Imprisonment of not
more than two years. Incidentally it
is shown how completely the trusts
| have the railroads at their mercy In
1908 the trunk lines refused to be held
up by the trust. and for six months
they had to run their cars empty while
the smaller lines. taking roundabout
courses. were heavily loaded with profit
able traffic. Then the trunk lines sur
rendered to the trust.
In concluding its work the Grand
Jury said that it had hurriedly gone
over the matter. though il had devoted

subject. and it recommended that its

would find abundant.

THE r.N-AMERICAN CONGRESS.

The Pan-AmeriCan Congress to be
held at Rio Janeiro in July will be a
great achievement for our State Depart
ment. and cannot help being of signal
benefit in bringing all the Americans
into closer relations. The program which
has been prepared by the Committee,
consisting Of Secretary Root, the Bra
lillian and Mexican ambassadors and
the Ministers from Costa Rica, Chile,
Cuba and the Argentine Republic. has
already been announced. 1t contem-
plates the discussion of questions as to
copyrights, patents, trademarks, sani-
tary police, quarantine. Pan-American
Railway, customs and consular law, de-
velopment of commercial intercourse.
naturalization laws, and the codification
of International law 1t is expected that
the Congress will go beyond the aca-
demic discussion of these subjects and
arrive at general principles which, If
not actually embodied in treaties, will
be so well understood as to become the
bases for the relations among the diff
ferent countries, and thereby greatly
promote intercourse and commerce. One
of the most interesting questions to
come up is that of the so-called Calvo
doctrine, which relates to the propriety
of Governmental action for the enforce
ment by foreign Governments of the
claims of private individuals. 1t is pre-
sumed that this will be formally pre-
sented TO The Hague Conference for
consideration. Whatever looks to a
closer acquaintance and more frequent
intercourse among the Nations on the
two continents is a matter of the high
est import to the prosperity and devei-
opment of all of them, and the pro-
ceedings of the Congress will therefore
be Watched with the greatest interest
