REJECTED BY A
DIVORCED WOMAN
She Announces That the
Rev. MIR. Strong Did Pro-
pose TO Her
DENOUNCED SUCH UNIONS

CHICAGO. Aug. 17-Tongues in Oak
Park were set 20 wagging yesterday
when Mrs. c. X. McFadden publicly
announced that the Rev. Sidney
Strong did ask her to be his wife, and
that she rejected him. Mrs. McFadden
is a divorced woman.
Up to this time she had kept silent
as to what was the basis for the an
nouncement Of her engagement to the
pastor. but IN light Of the fact that
Dr. Strong, as pastor OF the Second
Congregational Church of oak Park,
was accustomed bitterly TO condemn
the remarriage OF divorced women,
she thought the truth might be inter-
esting Mrs. McFndden's categorical
statement as to the status OF the en-
gagcment was as follows;

that the story started as a result o

MORE MONEY
FOR The STATE
Dr.. Marshall Finds Thai
Trust Companies Do Bank
ing Business
MUST, THEREFORE, PAY TAX
spesial to The evening Journal

DOVER, Aug. 17-Accordiing to In
surance Commissioner Marshalls
latest report of the trust companies
now doing hourishng business
throughout Delaware, he finds them
doing general banking business.
This is just what the state authori-
ties have been wanting for some time
They have desired to know just how
far into the banking business the trust
companies were going. because they
wanted to collect tax from them just
as they do from all other merchants
or industrial enterprises. The trust
companies have heretofore escaped the
levy because they claimed exemption
through their special charters and as
they were not blanks" and could not
issue currency or bills the redemption
OF which was pledged in gold or silver.
The Marshall report, however. shows
that the trust companies are doing
everything belonging to the functions
Of a bank, except the one item of issu-
ing currency. Commissioner Marshall
for instance. finds that the trust COM
panies OF Delaware have total re-
sources of S9.O72, ,7141O. AS to loans
and discounts, thereis outstanding, s3,-
331, ,4S7.O6. There are overdrafts. Sc
cured and unsecured, of ST1,159.3S
There are stocks. securities, etc, and
the premium on the same. amounting
to $3,7l1,2f2sO. The commissioner finds
clearinghouse furniture and fix
lures" worth s4O9 1860 and other real
estate, s97,O51. 30 There are bonds and
mortgages amounting TO $505,93O.S7.
Then he finds, due from "other banks"
and bankers, 75.159.O9. There are
checks and other cash items Of IS
642.75
In the liability accounting the COM
missioner finds undivided profit, less
current expenses and taxes paid, $685.
$685.: due to other banks and bankers,
s27. .S3O.7S; individual deposits, S61Sl,-
969.4s: certified checks. S7306.0l; cash
ier's checks outstanding, S2,6S0.SS.
If the trust companies Of the state
can. therefore, be legally shown TO be
doing banking business, they and the
banks together will owe to the State
between $4,000 and 100000 lin back
taxes, or since a decade ago when the
banks refused to pay be1apse the trust
companies were opposing them in do
ling a banking business and not pay
ling state taxes.

TIE UP FERRY

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Unless the
demands for increased pay and short
er hours made by the United Harbor
Union, No. 1, of the American Asso-
citation of Masters, Mates and Pilots,
are granted by the ferry companies,
it is planned to tie up all traffic on
North river ferry boats.
The strike may go into effect to-
day, and if it does, at a gicen signal
every ferry boat will come to a stop
and there will be no further traffic
from any of the depots in Jersey City
to Manhattan or Brooklyn until either
the strike is settler or new men can
be found to take the place of the
strikers.
Such a strike as this, it is argued
by the men who are making the Go

granted his plea. While Robinson
