Yesterday w. c. Baird and

circulating lists which embodied
a proposition to purchase the

hundred shares at 5000 each and
out of the amount so raised to
purchase the Money section at
s12, 600, leaving the other So, 600
for suitable improvements Or as
working capital.
The idea is an excellent one;
the property is worth the price,
the way things are now going,
and the project, a glorious place
for fishing and recreation under
the shade of forest trees and by
the side of the ever flowing linn
pid Palo Dura, is entiCing in the

That it is the intention of the depositors

the failure on the shoulders Of the di-
rectors became known today. Counsel

they were in a position to prove the IL

A marked change of front was mani
tested in the attitude OF members of the
board of directors toward reimbursing de-
positors. Heretofore 1t has been declared
that the directors stood ready and willing
to advance any amount of money to re-
adjust the affairs of the company and
thus rid themselves of the stigma of
moral or criminal negligence in allowing
the president to wreck the bank.
John II. Converse, one of the directors,
denied this statement today. He said:

PosToFFIcE CLERKS MEET.
Get Into Wrangle over Legality of
Election Last Year.

Savannah, Ga, September 3.-The first
session of the United National association
of Postoffice clerks in seventh annual
convention was held here today. About 300
delegates and visitors are present. Hard
ly had the opening exercises been conclud-
cd when Edmund G. Cook, delegate from
Cincinnati, attacked the methods used in
electing the officers at the last convention.
He accused a ring of governing the asso-
citation to its detriment and claimed the
election at the last convention was Illegal.
He had the entire proceedings typewrit-
ten and compared them with the constitu-
tion to show that the election was illegal.
This was the first wedge TO put the in
cumbents out of office and prevent CHI
cago Philadelphia and New York from
dominating the association. The fight will
be waged until after the election of Of
ficers, which is scheduled to take place

PALMA WILL NOT
MAKE CONCESSIONS
INTERVENTION is NOT
TO BE CONSIDERED BECAUSE
THEY BELIEVE CUBA CAN NOW
HANDLE THE SITUATION.

Havana, September 3.-President Palma
in an interview tonight with the Asso-
ciated Press puts an end to any thought
that he would make any concessions
whatever to the rebels beyond the offer
of pardon already extended. The Presi-
dent said he could not possibly make such
concessions either now or hereafter, and
could not see in any event what the gov
ernment could offer beyond what had al
ready been done.
American Intervention, the President
said. had not been considered because the
government believed 1t could end the in
surrection without assistance. The Presi-
dent added:
you may say emphatlcally that rumors
of any action by the government in any
way loking to compromise or making con-
cessions to the rebels are absolutely false
and unfounded for the present or for the
future. 1t is impossible that any contin-
gency could bring 1t about. l cannot see
what the government could offer rebels
excepting to allow them to return peace
fully to their homes, provided they sur
render and give up their arms"
