HE AND FRIENDS OUT
OF NEW YORK BANK.

The New York clearing mouse COM
mittee announces that the Heinze,
Morse and Thomas interests had been

association announced its readiness to

to render them such assistance to
meet their deposits as the committee
may deem necessary"
Neither the members of the board
of the Mercantile bank nor the clear
ing house committee would add to
these announcements. The statement
of Mr. Shearer is, however, taken to
mean that the clearing house COM

Edgar w. Shockley, director Of the
Commercial association gymnasium
last season, has again been engaged
for that purpose and he is expected
here next week to resume work.
The decision to reopen the gymna-
stun to class work with a director IN
charge was reached at meeting OF
the gymnasium committee held last
evening. At that time letter from
Mr.. Shockley offering to again take
charge Of the gymnasium was read
and he was unanimously chosen to
the position.
Owing to the difficulty in financ-
ing the gymnasium in the past the
committee hesitated in securing a d.
rector this fall. However, the demand
for class work was so encouraging
that the committee finally decided to
secure a director and attempt a re-
vival of interest in the work.
AS a physical director Mr.. Shock
ley is we'll known here, as he handled
| the class work with success last sea-
son. He is one of the best gymnasts
in the northwest and with his pre-
vious knowledge of the situation here
he should be able to conduct a very
successful seasons work.
1t Is the desire to have all of the
gymnasium classes started with the
best possible attendance Immediately
after the directors arrival Conse-
quently all those desiring work, and
the classes will be so arranged as to
accommodate people Of oil conditions,
are requested to enroll promptly.
No Society Circus.
Owing to the inability of the joint
committee to secure a suitable man
to manage the affair, the society cir
Gus planned by the Commercial asso-
citation and company L has been
abandoned for the present. But by
having large attendance at classes
the gymnasium committee hopes to
be able to operate the same during
the season without the aid of an en-
tertainment. However, some manner
Of entertainment may be planned lat
