HARRIS ALONE
> IN MISFORTUNE
soNosMEN PREPARE TO DESERT
THE GALLATIN BANK
CASHIER.

GALLATIN, Tenn, July 29.-There
is still another sensational feature In
cident to the wreck of the Peoples
National Bank of this city by the
young cashier, William Green Harris
The high standing of Harris in the
community, his family connections
and his strenuous and persistent de-
NAL of his guilt, combined to collect
about him the strong defense and pro
lection OF strong friends, and at first
there were few who had the hardi-
hood to concede his guilt, but as his
skillful operation and manipulation of
the banks machinery to successfully
hide from searching eyes a gradually
growing deficit have been unfolded to
the gaze of the public, friends have
withdrawn their support, and the set
tied conclusion forces the conviction
that the operations, successfully car
ried out for long time, were by a
master hand.
His friends had hoped that Harris
might satisfactorily explain the irreg-
ularities in connection with the $1,000
express package which was traced to
him, but when the forged papers taken
from his private box in the bank came
to light all hope for him left the stout |
est heart and now he stands alone.
Hoping that he might clear the
skirts, his father-in-law, VIM. Hall,
made his appearance bond of $4,000,
those adding their names with his be-
ing Ed S. Gardner, ]. B. Baber, w. G..
Satterfield, W. A. Overall and j. w.
Allison. In view OF the disclosures
the bondsmen met Saturday, and
considered withdrawing from the
bond. Those who went on the bond
mainly in Difference to Mr.. Hall, drew
Up and presented to him an agree
nent on his part to indemnify them
n case of loss. This, it is said, Mr..
Hall refused to sign, and further ac-
ion on the part of the bOndsmen was
deferred for some reason of vital in
crest to the looted bank. However,
t. is understood that the bondsmen
will make formal application for re-
ease, and the immediate arrest and
of Harris will follow,
or it is not probable that another
bond can be made by him
\ the face of this desertion.
In the meantime the people of Sum-
er county are leaving the author of
he banks wreck to his fate and are
Erecting their endeavors to establish
lg the bank on a firmer and safer
)oting than it has ever occupied.
Though the Irregularities are as
'unding in their varied and far
saching effects, embracing forgeries
} the amount of three-fifths of the
lpital stock, false entries and embez-
the stockholders, who have
e confidence and respect of the u
lblic, have decided to pay the deficit :
Id open the bank at once. They L
I'VE the enthusiastic assurance and
Ipport of the public and the kindly
ices of the other banks, and with !"
ch confidence as an enduring asset y
e Peoples National Bank will q
ickly take its place among the
fest and best banks in the state. =

MUCH MONEY IN CHICAGO.
Reserves Are Said to Be Well Above
the Required rs Fer Cent.

Chicago. Dec. 4.-Cash in vaults of
Chicago banks today approximates
S3O0, O0O, 900, 800, OOO, 900 of which is in
the savings banks and the remainder
in the national Institutions. Never in
the history of Chicago hanks has the
actual money in hand been so large as
it is at present. Reserves are well
above the % per cent of deposits, as re-
quired by the national banking law
These facts were brought out today
when Comptroller of the Currency
htdgely received a statement from ma
tional banks throughout the country.
Virtually every national bank showed
today heavy increase in the amount
of money ready at the call of depos-
itors. The total amount which these
banks held on Aug. Is, when the last
call was made by the comptroller, was
S12S, ASP. 062 Today the sum is not far
from s200,0J0,00O, which, with that held
by the savings banks and trust COM
panies, makes a total of $780, 600, 000
A return to a cash basis seems near
at hand. Sixty thousand dollars in
house checks were destroyed
TO-DAY, making the total retired 500 600.
Only $4,000 of the checks have been
given out this week, and depositors'
requests for money have been met
without question. Practically all coun-
Try correspondents of Chicago banks
have been taken care of and still the
reserves have been kept up

GIRL STOLEN BY GYPSIEs
Los Angeles Man Receivers His 16-
Year-0ld Daughter From Band
of Nomads at St. Louis.

st. Louis, Dec. by means of a writ
of habeas corpus secured from the
Clayton circuit court. Antonio Thomp-
son and his wife of Los Angeles, Cal,
today secured possession of their 10
year-old daughter Marie from a band
of gypsies encamped on the western
outskirts of st. Louis. The parents de-
clare the daughter was stolen from
them a year ago and that since they
have Travelled thousands of miles and
spent practically all their money in
searching for her.
Disguised as gypsies themselves, they
invaded the gypsy camp and found
their daughter. She threw herself into
their arms. but a number of gypsies
under direction of their leader. King
John Adams. seized the girl and drove
the parents out of the camp. asserting
the girl had been voluntarily sold 10
them and belonged to the tribe.
The grief-stricken parents invoked
the aid of the court and secured a writ
of habeas corpus. Accompanied nv
Deputy Sheriff Banker and q number
of citizens of Clayt9fs, they returned to
the camp later today, and the girl was
taken from the gypsies, although for a
few moments to nomads made a de-
monstration and threatened a riot
