understand. Albert n. Falk has testified
before the Grand jury that he and The.

Another man who Mr.. Jerome believes
has been running ~poolrooms IN Inspector
Mctlusky's district il Sonny Smith. Smiths

ports.
When McCluskv cane out Of the Grand
Jury room he grabbed Capt. O'Rel lily and
in plain words held him responsible for
moi serving the subj pnas and for re-
porting. The Inspector was very much
perturbed because Capt. O'Reiily had
the largest number of men to get and
didn't get any of them. MoClusky
marched O'Reilly up TO Mr.. Murphy's
Office and waited while Mr.. Murphy got our
a new batch Of subpRnas for all the men
who didn't appear yesterday. II has been
put directly up to Mctlusky 10 see that the
men appear, and il they do not 10 explain.
This has led to the conclusioa that il there
are any proceedings against McClusky
they are likely to be only a trial at Police
Headquarters on charges Of neglect OF
duty or making false reports.
II came out last night that when the land
lords got the subpPnas to appea they
went TO see their lawyers. The Landlords
had the impression that the Court Of APP
peals in a recent decision had decided
that John Doe proceedings were Illegal.
The landlords thought that Mr.. Jerome
was running some sort of John Doe INQUIRY,
and they wanted 10 fight rim But their
lawyers told them that they had better
respond if they didn't want TO get into
trouble.
Mr.. Jerome's detectives are making

Whether or not the Grand jury will do
anything with the poolroom investigation
to-day depends on how successful the police
are in serving the subpRnas. IT any pool
room men are brought in they will he

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-lnteresting selections
Of manuscripts by Ibsen which we're not
published at the time of his death have
just appeared. They consist OF preliminary
sketches of several plays. a speech oil
women's rights. a number Of aphorisms
and poems.
There is a long note preiXed TO the
skeleton of "A Dolls House" or, az Ibsen
first apparently meant to name il: "A Modern
Tragedy" IL is in the form Of fragmentary
comments. 1t shows that Ibsen himself
did not contemplate the possibility Of
Nors's return TO her husband. II will
interest all students of the drama. IL
runs in part:
There are two kirds of moral law. one
existing in men, and quite a diHerent one
in women. Neither can understand the
other, but in real life a woman ia judged
according "a mans law, just as If she were

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The trial was begun
to-day in the Chancery Division Of the
High Court of the suit Of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York against
d. c. Haldeman, formerly the Mutual's
manager in London. and the North British
and Mercantile Insurance Company for an
Injunction and damages.
The plaintiff charges that while Halde-
man was still in the employ of the Mutual
he entered into communication with the
North British company for the transfer Of
the MutuaIs English p~olicyholders to the
North British and sent circulars to the
Mutuals policyholders with regard
10 such transfer on the day his engage
ment with the Mutual terminated, using
for this purpose information as 10 the names
and addresses Of the p~olicyholders which
was the property Of the Mutual.
Plaintiff counsel. Sir Robert Fnlsy, &c,
declared that Haldeman. on December q
of last year. removed from the Office Of the
Mutual a box full of cards bearing the names
and addresses. ages and insurance amounts
of all the Mutual's British policyholders,
The box was returned IN May Is by the
solicitors for the ~policvholders' committee.
Sir Robert described the various admitted
scandals in the mana cement of the Mutual,
specifying that the Mutual, in cooperation
with fourteen other New York companies,
had found it necessary TO spend large sums
OF money in the killing of bills in the State
Legislatures that were calculated TO dam
age insurance companies.
What do you mean by having bills
killed. asked the Judge.
Sir Robert said he did not desire to dis
cuss the means adopted. Large expenses
were incurred, and many times in the re.
ports the expression occurred "Instruc-
ions were given to nave the bill killed"
Counsel thought that the Court would
come TO the conclusion that under tbs
present management there was a certainty
that these grave abuses would not recur
Ever if Haldemsn's suggestions in his
circular had any foundation there wal
no justification for his using information
that he had acquired confdentially 10 the
prejudice of the company in whose service
he was.

But the American and Japanese interests

ILLINOIS BANKS CLOSED
THREE INSTITUTIONS IN M'DoN.
OUCH COUNTY SUSPEND.
All Conducted by c. v. Chandler
Notices Posted Say They Are
Short of Ready Cash.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Three banking
institutions in McDonough county,
conducted by G. v. Chandler, of Ma
comb, closed their doors after posting
notices to the effect that the banks
were short of ready cash.
!, The banks are: The bank of Ma
comb. conducted by c. V. Chandler
e Co.. having deposit of $45O,OOO,
and capitalized at $4,000; the Chan
der & lines bank at Colchester, capt.
talized at $4,000, having a deposit of
100000, and the Chandler & Smith
bank at Bardolph, capitalized at
$4,000 with $4,000 in deposits.
The money of the depositors in all
three banks has been invested through
Mr.. Chandler, the senior member of
the private banking firm in McDon-
ough county real estate, and the i'm
mediate cause of suspension of the
three institutions Is given as lack Of
ready cash. The Macomb bank stood
good for the payment of the bonds
of the Macomb and Western Illinois
Electric railway, and when the bond
holders made demand for their
money they absorbed all the ready
cash Of the three institutions.
/, O. v. Chandler has been in the
banking business in Macomb for a
quarter Of century, and in addition
TO his private holdings is treasurer Of
the Western Illinois State Normal
School of Macomb and treasurer of
the city of Macomb. 1t is not thought
either the school or the city will lose
by the failure of the banks. The
state is protected by a trust company
bond and the city's deposits in the
bank are small at this time of the
year.
Mr.. Chandler made statement
setting forth in effect what was
stated in the notices posted on the
doors of the banks. The liabilities are
upwards of 100000, with unincum-
bered real estate worth over 100000
The mortgages are mostly on central
Illinois farms and are considered gilt
edge.
over the closing of the banks. The
depositors have faith in the word OF
Mr.. Chandler and expect the fulfill
ment of his promise. In Colchester
the major part of the depositors are
miners who made no demonstration
when they read the notice on the
doors Of the bank.
