WHOLLY UNTRUE,
SAYS ARNOLD Of
THE BANK STORY

Chairman Frederick w. Arnold OF the
board OF directors OF the Old National
bank. acting president OF the institution
since the resignation OF Edward T.. Met
calf. stigmatizes the rumor OF the absorp-
trial Trust company as absolutely untrue
and without the slightest foundation.
Mr.. Arnold said that this proposition
was submitted but was not entertained.
and adjournment was taken for week,
according TO the usual custom.
Mr.. Arnold further stated that the In
dustrial Trust company is not a large
stockholder" in the Old National. The
trust company Is a minority shareholder,
and not in control OF the Old National
bank. nor Is any other corporation or in
dividuaL Mr.. Arnolds specific statement
on the matter Is as follows
1.-The rumor concerning the absorption
Of the Old National bank by the Indus
trial Trust company has only this founda-
tion:
Mr.. Metcalf saw fit to make a new
connection. the first knowledge of which
came TO the directors OF the Old National
on Saturday last. His resignation was
on Monday, and the only reason for de-
ferring the selection of his successor was
the limited time in which Mr.. Metcalfs
intention had been made known.
THE election of new president will
be announced in due season. No trust
company or other institution or individual
has a controlling interest in the stock
of the Old National bank"

There are certain things continually
appearing in our social life and relations

not peculiar 10 the insurance business.
lone OF the things that has startled the
world is that the men who have been
considered its leaders in political and
social matters are those who have shown
moral obtuseness.
let us not deal entirely with the in
surance revelations, Isn't II true that we
have set up new ideals in our time OF
prosperity? Isn't 1t true that the highest
object set before our young men is the
amassing OF wealth. Do we not estimate
a mans success, his standing in business

I'D these ideals are we not breaking down
standards more valuable? II seems TO me
that we are making a mistake in incul-
eating wrong ideals.

No quarter was asked nor given, the
players on both sides putting forth every
effort OF which they were capable. Tne
Reds won by 4 score Of three goals TO
none, but there never was a moment
when they could relax their efforts.
For the losers r N. Tobin and Cyril
Tobin played remarkably well. To the
former was delegated the task Of riding
of w s Hobart thus keeping the strong
est man Of the opposing team out OF tne
play The spectators feared at times Tor
the safety of che men as they bumped
into one another when galloping al top
speed.
The game was so fast that only four
of the customary six periods Of ten min
utes were played. The ponies were more
exhausted than their riders when the end
came.
Some OF the terse and vigorous English
used by the players in the heat Of the
game, when some one cut them or, was
reminiscent of the excitable Captain Nell
Haig OF the birmingham team The game
was unusually rough and the players
often missed the ball owing TO their great
anxiety TO score.
The Reds did not score their first goal
until late in the second period John Law
