The apple growers Of the San Juan

tent of $4,000. through their dealings
with the kansas4C Colorado Commits

men of Pennington are talking OF
taking the matter into court. Accord
ing to statements made by the apple
growers. they we're induced 10 ship to
the Kansas Colorado company last
fall approximately forty eight cars of
choice apples. The representative OF
the company who persuaded the
growers 10 part with their product.
claimed that his firm could and would
obtain the very top market price for
the apples. and that remittances could
be- made as soon az the sales were
eonsummated. The farmers waited
week after week for their money. but
were told that the Colorado market.
as wen M those Of Kansas City and
Omaha. were swamped with Colorado
apples that had been frozen and that
II would not be advisable to put the
New Mexico product on the market.
Permit us to put your apples In cold
storage until the Colorado frozen pro-
duct Is out Of the way and then we
will get you prices that will fairly
stagger you." the gullible fruit grow

hard on the bait and now they are
beginning TO get the staggering
prices. One man who parted with
9es boxes of fancy stock, has just re
ceived a check for $3.50: the balance
was accounted for by charges OF all
kinds and material for making 75C
boxes. Another grower who shipped
100 boxes Of extra fancy apples and
60 boxes OF fancy stock. received the
munifcent sum OF $7.15. together with
a letter explaining all about hauling
and storage charges and Toss" be

another shipper who sent thar
1000 boxes Of first-class apples. re
eeived a check for s10.03. The grow
ers claim they should not have re

PUT MILLIONS IN BANK.
Philadelphia Deposits on Monday
Far Above Usual Recefuts.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1.-TWO million
doliars-a quarter Of a million more than
is usually deposited on Monday-went
into the savings banks OF this CITY YES
terday, according TO estimates made to-
day by several prominent savings banks
officials.
In one large east side savings bank
the excess of the receipts yesterday over
the Monday average for the year was
so striking that the fact led the presi-
dent to compare notes with other instf-
tutIons
When the totals were footed up it was
found that the institutions generally had
received larger sums on deposit than on
the second Monday OF November. 1897.
that the days deposits were In excess
for this year in 30 per cent OF the say
ings banks. and that the aggregate for
the fifty-five savings banks in the greater
city was about Is per cent greater than
would have been expected on a Monday
in times Of normal financial conditions.
These figures were taken by the saw
ings people as proving that the bulk of
the people are confident and content.

WASHINGTON A THIRD-TERMER
Representative Langley Says First
President Would Favor Roosevelt.

Representative John W. Langley, Of the
Tenth Kentucky district. is in Washing
ton for the forthcoming session Of Con-
gress.
If George Washington were alive to-
day he would say his utterances regard
ing the third term do not apply to present
conditions" answered Mr.. Langley in re-
sponse to a query as to the Presidents
strength among the Kentucky Republi-
cans.
Mr. Langley. who made speeches all
over the State in the campaign just
closed. believes the Republicans are
strongly in favor Of the Presidents re-
nomination.
Not only this" added Mr.. Langley,
"but he would receive hundreds of Dem
ocratic votes. and I am satisfied he would
carry the State next year"
The Kentucky Congressman says Secre-
tary Taft has many friends In the State,
but the people are so absorbed in the
Roosevelt movement that practically no
consideration is given the candidates. OF
