Editor Connors, of the Lam

It's an appeal which commends

so much the unsighliness or neg

SOUNDS GOOD
AT The time

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The officials
of the banks of this city are unit in
declaring that never in the history of
the city have it's financial institutions
been on as sound basis as they are
at present. Following the failure of
the Chicago National Bank two years
ago the Chicago Clearing House AS
ISOLATION, dissatisfied with the State
and national Inspection of banks, ap-
pointed inspectors of it's own at a sal
airy double that paid by the govern
ment for similar work.
The inspectors bureau has the
power to audit banks accounts al
any time, and as consequence, all
of the banks know exactly every day
the condition of the other banks
When a bank demurs to the work OF
the auditor it is promptly denied
clearing house facilities. The result
has been in the last two years that g
number of weak institutions have
been compelled to liquidate and thai
the banks of this city are stronger to
day than they have ever been.
Cashier B. NJ Chattell of the Hi
nois Trust and Savings Bank declar
ed today that there are no weak spots
in the banks of Chicago, and there i.
not only money here in sufficien
quantity, he said, for the ordinar.
| demands of business, but for thu
moving of all the grain crops in thu
West. Money is as plentiful here al
it ever is at this time of the year.
President Forgan of the First Ma
| tional Bank said The Chicago
banks are absolutely sound. The!
are not in the habit of handling un
digestible securities. We can use al
of our money in legitimate enter
prises. The disturbance in New Yori
cannot disturb us in the slightest de

He made a confession in court of his
crime, after which Judge Pike pro-

The attorneys for Jack gave notice
that they will appeal the case to the

grounds for the appeal is that the
