night, a telegram was sent today to Sec
rotary of the Treasury George B. Cor
telyou, in answer to his published criti-
cism of the legal holiday proclamation of
Acting Governor Charles Filson, which

SALOON BANKRUPT.
Run on a Nearby Pittsburg Bank
Quickly Followed.

Pittsburg. Oct. 3o.-Interest in the. local
financial situation was revived for a
short time today, when foreign depositors
of the All Nations bank. located in the
south portion, of the city, started a run
on the institution while laboring under o
misrepresentation. The bank, which is a
small one, Is perfectly solvent. and paid
ali depositors who applied for their mon
ey. The rup started from report that
an officer OF the bank had left the city.
which was later proven untrue. Another
reason advanced is the fact that nearby
foreigners somehow conceived the idea
that the bank was also in trouble The
trouble had no effect on the good showing
of the present financial condition. which
bankers say is improving daily.

Several Interesting Reports.

A number of interesting reports were
given during the morning session both
by standing committees and by individual
club women two of the most pertinent
being that of the educational committee.
given by Miss Rosalie Pollock and that
of the school savings banks committee,
given by Mrs. Mary NJ. F. Allen. Miss
Pollock closed her report of the work
done for the manual training building at
Canyon Crest with an urgent request that
the federation do something along the
lines suggested by the general federation
for the securing of a better educational
for the teaching profession.
Mrs. Allen reported the wonderful sue
cess of the school savings banks as
worked out in Park City. where the move
ment is now in its second year. She
gave the amount saved by pupils in the
lower grades as 1874, deposited by 203 lit
tie people who had formerly spent their
small allowances for gum and candy.
Mrs. Hilliard. for the industrial commit
tee. told of some needed amendments in
the laws of the state. and urged a more
thorough study by the women of the con-
ditions governing working women and
children. She asked especially that a
change be made in the educational law
which now allows a child to miss the
first six weeks of the school year that
he may earn money for grown people
a period which he seldom can redeem in
the year. Mrs. billiards emphatic de-
mand that there be no child breadwin-
ners in the state met with hearty ap-
plause.

work along altruistic lines. the Canyon

Since the Arthur Sewell sailed not one
word was received regarding her until a
letter came today from the Norwegian
sealer The Sewells first stopping point
was to have been Seattle. The Fridthtkof
reports that on Aug. 30, while cruising
near the southeast headland of Nofr ISL
and half way between Cape Pillar and
Cape Horn, the lookout reported a dere-
lict ahead. The derelict proved to be a
four-masted square-rigged ship that IN
every way answered the description of the
Sewell. As the wreck was evidently very
recent. the Fridthjkofs captain made an
investigation in the hope of discovering
some of the possible survivors. On the
shore of Noir island landing party from
the Norwegian vessel discovered traces
proving that a considerable party from
the wreck had made its way to land.
