A SAVINGS BANK IN TROUBLE
AN INSTITUTION AT CHELSEA,
MICH, is CLOSED.
It was Depository for $6e4,ooo Of
Michigan's Money and Its Presi-
ldent is State Treasurer.

Detroit, Mich.-In order to avoid
threatened run on the bank and to
afford all depositors and creditors an
equal chance in the settlement of the
banks affairs, State Banking Com
missioner Zimmerman on Monday an
nounced that the Chelsea Savings
bank would not open for business to-
day. The president of the bank is
State Treasurer Frank P. Glazier,
who has deposited in the bank ap-
proximately $6S4,Oo0 of the funds of
the state of Michigan. Attorney Gen
eral Bird said last night that the
state is protected by the state treas
urer's bond of S150,000 and the banks
bond of 100000, so that the state
would not suffer any loss unless the
assets of the bank should fail to pay
80 cents on the dollar, which is con-
sidered improbable.
The announcement that the bank
would not open to-day came at the
close of conference here late Mon.
day between Gov. Warner, Banking
Commissioner Zimmerman, Attorney
General Bird and representatives of
five Detroit banking concerns, the
Peoples State savings bank, the Old
Detroit national, the First national,
'iO SibiHOho kotNNihSo phhh ttlu tho
Union Trust Co.
The banking commissioner has
been closely scrutinizing the affairs
of the Chelsea Savings bank for some
time in connection with the private
business of State Treasurer Glazier
and that of the Glazier Stove Co., of
Chelsea The impression was held
that If Mr.. Glazier could pull these
latter interests through the bank
would not necessarily fall into diff.
Guilty.
The five banks above mentioned,
however, in the conference decided to
petition for receiver for the Glazier
Stove Co. in order to protect 100000
of paper which they are reported to
have been carrying for Mr.. Glazier
and the Stove company This action
on the part of the banks it was
thought would cause run on Mr..
Glaciers bank and the closing of the
bank was decided upon by Commits.
sioner Zimmerman in order to protect
all interests alike. The bank is capi
talized for 100000, and has surplus
of about 100000. Mr.. Glazier is re-
ported to be sick at his home in Chel
sea.

BURNS DEFEATS MoIR.
English Pugilist Loses Fight for the
Worlds Championship.

London.-Tommy Burns, of Amer.
lea, knocked out Gunner Moir, OF
England, in the tenth round before
the National Sporting club here last
night. Englishmen never had great
hopes of the ability of their repre-.
sentative to regain their lost honors
in the boxing arena, and in some.
what unexciting contest the American
champion had comparatively easy
task in disposing of Moir's preten-
tions and securing for himself the
title of heavyweight champion of the
world.
After the fifth round Burns victory
was certain and in the tenth, when
the gunner failed to raise to the call
of time and was literally cut to
pieces, Burns left the ring with
scarcely a mark.

Miners Legislative Committee Meets

Columbus, o., Dec. 3.-The legisla-
tive committee of the Ohio Miners
union met here Monday to formulate
bills to be presented to the legisla-
ture providing additional safeguards
for miners. Eighty-three men were
killed in Ohio mines during the last
seven months according to a report
by G. w. Savage, secretary-treasurer.
OF these fatalities seven were caused
by defective insulation of electric
wires. Electricity is now used eZ-
tensively as motor power in mining
and the men claim they have not Sc
cured sufficient legal safeguards
against the dangers attending the use
of powerful currents. Besides these
fatalities many men are injured and
some crippled for life.

sKYscRAPER WEIGHTS.

The Heaviest in This City When Com pleted Will be 36.000 Tons. If one goes through the offices of one of the big skyscraber construction com panles one of these days one may see roomful of young men all figuring away like mad on interminable sheets of paper. They layman Is astonished learn tat they are weighing skyscrap- CTS and that the tallest and most ex- tensive buildings, up to the thousandth of tons, are carefully weighed before they are built The evolution of the tall building has brought forth remarkable engineering specialization along many lines, but none more noteworthy than in the case of the skyscraper waighers. For this weighing of the skyscrapers is no easy job. One cannot dump the material, like pound of sugar, into a pair of scales and declare there is so much weight, because, in the first place, | the scale has never been invented that will weigh a hundred thousand tons, ] and, in the second place, the material ] is not on hand. A skyscraper must be weighed before it is built, before the i first caisson is sunk for the founda- l tions or the first steel column is set up.
 The scales are pencil and paper bal anced by specially trained brains. And l finally the operation of weighing a 1 modern tall building may cover, when
 completed, as many as thirty or forty ! typewriter pages The weight of New
 Yorks largest skyscraper, now build
 ing in Cortlandt street, is estimated at
 5000 tons.
 What is the most important factor to be reckoned with in this skyscrap- ing weighing?" was asked of one of
 the principal building engineers of the
 city.
 Wind" was his rather unexpected | reply. If there was no such thing as
 wind about New York the task of the builder, and particularly the man who | figures on weight, would be greatly sim. pllfled. But we have to figure on wind
 up to a hundred miles an hour If we
 didn't a blow might strike Manhattan
 some day that would level our tallest
 buildings like so many dominos in a
 row. So we builders of tall buildings
 are always worrying about the wind
 like so many sailors. and in all our cal. culations it cutsa big figure. If it were
 nor for the wind New York would have
 one hundred stork office buildings to. day"
 Having taken the important elemen
 of wind into consideration. the struc
 tural engineer begins actual weighing operations, and according to grounC
 area and height, determines thu

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvORS, UNION
 MEETS.

Addressed by Rev. Ozora s. Davis on
 "The Permanent Motive"
 The 121st meeting of the New Haven Christian Endeavor Union was held with the Christian Endeavor society of the United church last night and was largely attended After a short busi- ness meeting an address was made by Rev Ozora S. Davis of the South church, New Britain. His subject was "The Permanent Motive in Christian Endeavor"
 MT. Davis address proved very in7 teresting. He said in part: Any 'so- ciety so firmly organized as the Chris tian Endeavor society must have some clearly defined motive. One motive has been said to be that of friendship. I would not minimize 1t. It takes a great soul to be a true friend and if there is any friendship that should be sacra- mental and eternal it is the friendship that exists among. young Christians. But this is not the permanent motive.
 Another motive that has been given Is that of Christian culture. I would not say word to under estimate it. We are coming more and more to need definite avenues of culture in religious work but at the same time we must realize that even this not the ultimate end. Still another motive was describ- ed as Christian devotional life But even this is not the fundamental nv- tive.
 The heart of it all lies in living per- sonal relationship between the indivi- dual soul and the living Christ Jesus. It Is by this power that the church and the society will progress in the world. By this influence the man is changed from bad to good
