DIRECTORS FAULT
Controller RidgIey Says, When
Average Bank Goes to
the Wall.
SHOULD ATTEND TO BUSINESS
No Excuse for Trusting to Honesty
of Those in Charge, He
Declares.

Philadelphia. Sept. 27.-Controller of
the Currency William b. Ridgely. was
the principal speaker at the opening
session of the Pennsylvania Bankers
association here today He said in
part:
Except from very rare and eXcep-
tional causes. such as sudden panics or
runs due to false rumors. there is never
any reasonable excuse for the failure
of a bank or trust company. 1t is al
most always the result of ineXcusable
folly and incompetence or dishonesty
and fraud. and often due to all of these
combined.
Fault of Directors.
when a bank does fail, it is the
fault of the board of directors. Many
others may be to blame, perhaps more
than the directors. but the final respon-
sibility of bank management rests upon
the directors, and they are to blame;
that is. the whole board as board, and
the members as individuals are to
blame if they allow the officers or per-
haps only few of the directors, to so

st. Petersburg, Sept. 27.-Further dis
quieting information regarding the agra
rian situation, which, in spite of the
prompt and widespread publication OF
the administrations agrarian cOnces-
sions, appears TO be entering on a
graver phase than last autumn, comes
from the provinces of Saratov and Tam
bow, and the lower Volga region, where
serious disorders are anticipated when
the recruiting season opens in October
The Viborg manifesto has been widely
circulated and the political and revolu-
tionary ferment is ever increasing.
Hit Police and Clergy.
The population of many communes
have adopted formal resolutions dis
carding the authority of the police and
clergy and rural police are resigning
in great numbers. Land owners are
of estates at any sacrifice
Land values have dropped from $50 to
SIG per acre.
Proclaim Autonomy.
Details of the uprising at Malmuish,
Viatka province, are difficult to obtain.
but it is known all the opposite eXtrem-
ity of the province and the peasantry
of the village of KDagorodsk have dis
armed the police and proclaimed au-
tonomy.

manage the business of the bank as to
bring on insolvency.
1T may be the president or cashier
who commits in detail the acts or
crimes which wreck bank; the direc-
tors may be entirely ignorant of what
IS being done but it is their fault if
they allow themselves 10 be kept in
ignorance or to be deceived and thus
permit it to be done. 1t is the duty Of
the directors of a bank to keep them
selves informed about its business and
to so direct its affairs as to prevent its
failure.
Laws Define Duties.
The laws under which most joint
stock banks are organized define the
duties and responsibilities of directors
in practically the same terms. In many
cases the federal courts have declared
that directors duty is not discharged
by merely electing officers of good
reputation, ability and integrity to man
age a bank and then leaving it's bust
ness in their hands. The board of di-
rectors. the courts have held. is bound
to maintain a supervision of the af-
fairs of their association, and to have
a general knowledge of the character
of its business and the manner in which
it is conducted, and to know al least
upon what security its larger lines of
credit are given"

CHANGE SPELLING
More SimpIified System to be
Used at Augustana Col
Iege Hereafter
IN THE SWEDISH LANGUAGE
Changes Made Here Conform to Those
in Official System of Sweden
Seminary Term Begins.

Augustana college has adopted the
new phonetic system of spelling for
use in the Swedish language. The an
nouncement was made TO the students
of the Swedish language by Professor
Mauritzson and has met with the gen
eral approval OF both students and
faculty ar the college. they being very
enthusiastic over its adpOtiOn.
The great change in the spelling of
this language which is in great many
ways in Il greater need of reform
than the English language is the re-
suit of several years study and work
among prominent Swedish reformers.
This work was first taken up by the
Swedish academy and the crown of
Sweden later became interested and
continued the reformation. This re-
form. although not complete. includes
by far more words than that which
has been advised in the new system
for use in the English.
Makes Important Changes.
II will be of great benefit TO begin
ners. as the change includes TWO of the
most difficult sounds or rules in Swe-
dish. The reform embraces all words
spelled with the sO-called " sound.
All words which have previous
" been spelled with 'fv' or 'f''
with the " sound. will be spelled
with ". II also effects the DIT
sound which has been the most diff
cult one TO master in the spelling of
the words in the language All words
which have been affected by the ''dt'
formation viii in tine new system be
spelled with only the e.. or in some
cases IT..
The Swedish press viii in the course
of events. adopt the phonetic system.
1t is so sweeping in its changes tfHt il
will take some little time before il is
taken up completely.
Adopted in sweden.
DR.. Andreen. in explanation of the
change at the college. this afternoon
stated that the changes made in the
system of spelling at Augustana con-
forms TO the official spelling of Swe-
den. In that country the official spell
ing is used in all public documents.
and is the authorized spelling in the
public schools. DIR. Andreen expressed
himself as heartily in favor O. Prasi-
dent Roosevelt's spelling reform. and
of the reform of the Swedish spelling.
He says the Swedish press is slow TO
follow even a government change IN
spelling. and in this connection is SIM
liar 10 the American press, which he
blames for the greater part OF the OPP
position to Roosevelt's reform.
Seminary Term Opens.
The theological seminary depart |
ment began it's work today at Angus

their registration yesterday, which was
also the dav for the new candidates to
appear before the cOlOqium. DR.. More |
Illus. president of the Augustana synod |
and chairman of the coloqium commit !

morning and welcomed the new theolo- |
eicaI students to Augustana and also

vote their lives to the preaching OF the
gospel.

With n sentence of nine and half
years in the California pcnitcntiary
hanging over him for grand larceny
and now in custody in the Yavapai
county Jail, George Roberts alias
George Cunningham yesterday sought
to regain his freedom through the
habeas corpus route.
The petition for the writ was ISSUED
out of the district court yesterday, and
was served upon the sheriff, but in the
absence Of Judge Sloan hearing in the
case cannot be had until tomorrow
morning Mt 10 o'clock.
Roberts was arrested several days
ago at Williams upon adviccs received
here from Chief of Police Oman Of
San Francisco. He hsd been in Pres.
colt for nearly n week, hut II was after
his departure <iat the sheriff's office
received the tip that Roberts was a fu.
gitive from justice.
Roberts is n man who affects consid.
cradle style in his dress, and his per.
sonal appearance is that Of confidence
man. His crime was that of dcfraud-
ing n stranger by trick and device in a
card game, and he was convicted on n
grand jury indictment in March, 1903.
lie was out on bail pending an appeal,
and he took French leave, thereby for.
feiting his bond. The crime for
which he was sentenced was not his
first offensc, ms his picture has n place
in the rogue's gallery of San Fran.
cisco, being designated as No. 16,139.
He has very little ready money with
him, ms yesterday he telcgraphcd for
