It was learned at the department

perfect tranquility thanks to the pre-

in Russia, so far as is known, were
there any serious disturbances.
Demonstrations among st. Peters

st. Petersburg papers too late for
their last editions but the public was
quickly informed through extras and
great posters set out by the police at
all street corners, containing the
ukase. announcing the dissolution, and
the imperial manifesto.
Little knots Of readers clustered
around these the whole day, attentive

Little enthusiasm or excitement, how

tice Barrick yesterday afternoon
charged with committing an assault
on Andrew Chuma with intent to kill.
The testimony adduced by the state
did not connect Baker with the fracas
and he was discharged. II was shown
that Kochli assaulted Chuma but alb.
sence OF any testimony pointing TO an
intent TO kill caused the court to dis.
miss the charge against him as well.
The affidavit was filed by Constable
McCurdy.
Kochli was tried before Mayor Nc.

assaulting Chuma and was held to the
probate court. Attorney Shields aid

BANK PRESIDENT
Suddenly Resigns and Leaves City.
Bank All Right. But His Pri-
vate Affairs Muddled.

New Orleans. Dec. 23.-A sensation
was created today by the announce
ment OF the resignation OF William Ad.
ler as president Of the State National
bank. and that Mr.. Adler had left the
city. his departure producing bad
impression. The members OF tho
clearing house were summoned to-
gether hastily late last night, and a
committee appointed to examine the
condition OF the bank. II was found
satisfactory and the clearing house
announced it's purpose to give the
bank all the assistance II needed. II
was made evident. however. that the
Arm Of Adler G. Co.. of which Mr..
Adler was the head. was badly embar-
rassed.
Mr.. Adler was at the head OF a
number OF enterprises. Besides being
president OF the state national bank.
he was also president of the largeDt

a director and large stockholder In
the New Orleans Street Railways com
pany. Perhaps his largest investment
was In the Centrah American Com
mercial company. which controls a
number OF big enterprises In Near
aqua, and Panama. The company
owns the wharyes at Corinto on the
Pacific coast of Nicaragua. the cleo
trio light plant at Msnagua, the capi-
tai of the country. a number Of gold
mines, and several plantations.
The fact that President Zelaya Is
also deeply interested In the compa-
NY and the latter is the purchasing
agent OF Nicaragua In the United
States gave II political standing.
The long credits required in Latin
American business neoessitated Mr..
Adler making loan OF million dol
lars In New York lately. He was un-
able to meet tihs loan and on Friday
some OF his notes were protested In
New York. He resigned the presi-
denoy OF the bank Saturday and the
matter came before the clearing house
yesterday. In the meanwhile Mr.. Ad-
Ter left the city. supposedly for Cen

fairs there.

PAVING is DELAYED
Work Cannot BE Started on Proposed
improvements Until Sunshine in
Great Quantities Comes.

Good progress is being made. by
Contractor Kennedy, with the paving
along Broadway north of the G. n.
tracks. The concrete has all been
laid excepting one block and there is
one block of paving to be done. City
Engineer Crabbe today said he
thought the job would be completed
in about week.
The good people along Eighth street
south, from Front street to Ninth ave-
nue., may as well curb their restive-
ness in regard to their new pavement,
or. else bring influence to bear upon
the wicked weather man who seems to
be adverse to opening the hot wealth
er valve. The first step towards the
paving proposition on that street, for
which all the contracts have been let,
will be the construction of the new ce-
ment curbing and work on that can
not begin until the frost is out of the
ground and it will take several days
to accomplish that. Engineer Crabbe
says the frost is in evidence about
four or five inches below the surface.
Contractor Kennedy would like to get
to work on Eighth street Immediately
at the completion Of the Broadway
job.
