terday surprise was expressed when
the bank failed to publish its state
ment at the request Of the comptrol-

find the institution closed. There was
much excitement among depositors
but no disorder.
The bank was a u. S. Depository

government deposits. William A.

PASSION PLAY
PLEASES

The Passion Play which is being
shown at the Theatorium this week
has received the commendation Of all
who have attended, and truly deserves
much praise. There have been full
houses at the five different shows
each day, and the play continues to
attract THE pictures are Of the best
that can be procured, and with Rev.
Lang's attendant explanations, are
appreciated even by the merest child.
The delicate coioring Of some Of the
films IS wonderful. as is che clear
ness in deail Of the pictures. These
pictures Of the simple, peasant folk
Of 0berammergau come as near to
fulfilling ones idea Of the Christ and
his follower as 60 any biblical pie

so an enjoyable part Of one Of the
most interesting entertainments ey-
er given in Chickasha.

Examiner Bradley said: a shall
make every effort to get the bank on
its feet. I have not been able to in
vestigate matters as yet. | cannot
say definitely when the bank will re-
open"
James F. Downing, president Of
the clearing house, said: cup to yes
terday the Bank Of Commerce owed
the clearing house 100000. This ac-
count is settled but It was out Of the
question to furnish aid to the bank. I
consider the failure due to lack Of
conservatism. None of the other
banks has found it necessary to ask
aid Of the clearing house and con-
slider them perfectly sound. The
Commerce failure will not affect any
Of them."
Two small branch offices of the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce, one Of them
located at the Union Stock Yards and
the other in the wholesale district in
the West Bottoms, also closed their
doors during the morning. They were
the Stock Yards Bank Of Commerce,
deposits 100000, and the Union Az
enue Bank Of Commerce with small
deposits.
There was no special excitement
around other Institution. The fall
ure Of these banks, # is said, will oc-
casion no trouble to any Of the other
banks Of the city, and at most Of the
other institutions deposits were made
as usual.

Although Mr.. Paradee had been a

he had been talking to his son, Frank.
Shortly before 2 o'clock he was stricken
in the dining room and was obliged to
lie down on a couch. He died before
the family could summon physician.
The funeral services win probably be
held in- the house Sunday afternoon at
o'clock.

in this city. He was the son Of Henry
and Rose (Donohue) Paradee After

ployed at both the Jackson and Sharp's
car building works and at Harlan ana

Weocacoe boys. together with the
members Of the Independent Company
and the exposition company. are
lunching at the Delaware building at

That the Weccacoe Company was
royalty received by their Southern fire
fighters is evinced by the fact that as
early as last spring tho Independent
Company began plans TO receive the
visitors. The Independent was the
guest Of the Weccacoe Company last

prisod and pleased at the treatment
accorded them while in Wilmington.

TRY TO Make
CAPITAL DRY
Prohibit n sis Will Force the
issue a Next Session
Oi Congress

WASHINGTON, oct. A dry
washington looms before the helpless
people o. the capital The Prohibition
lists Of the country are girdling up
their loins for an assault on Congress.
at the forthcoming session, to compel
it to enact a statute forbidding the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the District Of Columbia
The girding has been gong on for a
long time, but the people OF Washing
ton have only become aware Of the
fact within the last ten days. When
they first heard about it tAey just
smiled. Ridiculous, they thought. Fur
ther thought brought the anxious cor
rugated brow. It was easy to remem-
Der that Congress, wnen the. issue was
forced right up against it,. had abol-
ished the canteen and had driven the
saloons out Of the Capitol The law
makers hadgpo desire to do either. The
Prohibitionists. however, waved the
big stick, and congressman meekly
obeyed.
The people OF WashinBtoH nave no
say on the subject. They can deliver
no votes anywhere. Ninety-nine per
cent. of the members of the House
heretofore have meelSly done the bid
ding of the Anti-Saloon League, be-
cause the league has shown in NUM-
Der of instances that it controls the
balance Of power between the two par
ties. It converted a Republican ma
jority Of 255.OOO in Ohio in 1904 to
Democratic majority OF 10000.
There is probably more drinking
among the members Of the fair sex in
Washington than in any other city in
the country.
It is bell we'd that President Roose-
welt would veto a plain prohibition bill,
while he probably would sign an appro-
priation bill on which there was a pro-
hibition rider. 1t is In the form Of a
rider to an appropriation bill that the
matter is likely TO come before them
Representative Craig, of Selma, Ala,
one of the new class of politicians in
that old state, has announced that he
will Introduce a prohibition bill. Con-
lgressmen from the cities are about the
only ones who will dare, vote against
the Craig bill.

NO EXPORTS
IN SEPTEMBER
Report Of Custom House
Transactions Sufficient Ar
eument for River Pier

Another argument in favor OF a river
front pier is the fact that during the
month OF September no exports from
this city were made through the local
custom house, though 1t is known that
thousands Of dollars worth OF goods
were shipped from here to foreign
ports. The reason for this is that there
are 10 vessels that stop here for ex-
port frelght and in consequence local
products for foreign shipment must be
sent by rail TO some other port in
most cases Philadelphia. and loaded on
ocean going vessels.
Collectors Report
The report OF the collector Of port
for the transactions OF the local office
for the month of September follows:
