DIRECTORS ACTED.
Closed the Bank Against the Presi-
dents Orders.

North Attleboro, Mass, Dec. 1S.-
Although Albert H. Virgins, presi-
dent of the Jewellers National bank,
who is in New York city, sent COM
munications from that city last night,
saying the institution should be open
for business as usual today, the d1-
rectors at an early meeting today vot-
ed to keep the bank closed until a
thorough examination of its books hac
been made. The following notice was
posted On the door:
''This bank will not open for busr-
ness today, pending an examination
of it's affairs, per order of the board
of directors"
Bank Examiners Ewar and Currier
arrived here early today and at once
began their investigation, being assist
ed in their work by the officials of the
bank. c. S. Holden, the medical ex-
aminer. stated today that he had not
given the cause of the death of Mr..
Sergeant, the cashier, as accidental
drowning as reported, but simply as
drowning" Further than this. he
declined to discuss the case.
1t was expected that President Wig
gin who also is vice president in the
Chase National bank of New York,
would arrive here some time today.
AS most of the manufacturing jew
elers in this town and in Attleboro
have been doing business with the
jewelers. National bank, it is antfc1pat-
ed that there will be some difficulty In
tories if the bank remains closed.
Wednesday is the regular pay day at
two of these factories. According to
the last statement of the bank the
capital was S1OO,0O0; surplus and un-
divided profits S40,350; deposits ST.
O5O.710; and loans and discounts

New York Dec. 1S.-Albert H. Wig
gin, president of the jewelers. National
bank of North Attleboro, who lives in
this city, said today:
1.-THE sudden death of Cashier Sar-
eeant naturally excited suspicion and
caused an immediate investigation or
the condition of the bank.
This shows that Mr.. Sergeant had
exceeded his authority and without
the knowledge of the directors had
made loans to local concerns in which
he was Interested. The directors
pending the examination decided it
was best for the bank to remain
closed"

DECREE IS SIGNED.
1t Forbids the Boycotting of the Buck
stove Concern

Washington, Dec. 1S.-After hear
ing arguments on various points in
the case Justice Ashley M. Gould, to-
day signed the decree temporarily re-
straining and enjoining the American
Federation of Labor, its officials and
all others from interfering with the
business of the Buck Stove and Range
company and from declaring and
threatening any boycott against it. All
attempts of counsel of the American
Federation of Labor to modify the de-
cree failed, except in one particular
and that was to exclude from the or
der of Electrotype Molders and Fin
ishers union No. II, against which it
was shown no specific allegation had
been made.
Justice Gould took occasion to dwell
upon the question of jurisdiction. He
said there would be no attempt by
the court to assume jurisdiction be-
tween confines of the District of
Columbia, but that an order was
opera tive against all persons defend
ant which are within the District of
Columbia. An act he said, committed,
by an agent or associate of one of the
defendants outside the District of Co
lumbi could be held as the act of the
person within the District of Colum-
bia, ordering it and subject such
person to the punitive power of the
court. He believed the decree should
be very broad and that he need not
be too specific. There was, he said,
no likelihood of the order being mis-
ing ignorant men, but men who knew
their rights, and who knew the law.
Mr.. Gompers, he said, was one of
