BANK CLOSES ITS DOORS.
Old Financial Institution at Pittsburg
in Trouble.

Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-THE Fort Pitt
National bank, n of the older fnan-
cial institutions of this city, has
failed to open for business. A notice
posted on the door was signed by
Bank Examiner John B. Cunningham
and stated that the bank had been
closed by order of the comptroller of
the currency.
The directors later issued a state
ment to the effect that a suspension
of business was forced by the clear
ing house committee demanding that
the bank Immediately raise a large
amount of cash, which under existing
financial conditions it could not do
without great sacrifice.
The directors declare in unqualified
terms that the institution is solvent,
that depositors will be paid in full, and
that the embarrassment is wholly due
to the present stringent conditions in
the financial world.

TILL SEEKS PARDON.
Man Who Has Served Fifteen Years
Declares He Is Innocent,

The state board of pardons is in re-
ceipt of an application for pardon for
Joseph Till, who received a life SEN
tence for murder in Pembina county.
Till had just arrived in this country
from Hungary when the crime was
committed. 1t is claimed that Till
never committed the crime, but being
ignorant of the law and being without
friends he was easy prey for those
who designed the crime. Being I'M
able to talk the English language at
the trial his defense was not as eff.
fective as it might have been.
During his fifteen years Of incarce-
ration he has learned to speak and
write English and has been putting
forth every possible effort to secure
a pardon. He applied for pardon last
June, at which time the Hungarian
consul at Chicago appeared at Bis.
marck in his behalf with Till's attor-
ney, Tracy Bangs, of Grand Forks.
Till also appeared at that time in his
prison garb before the board and was
allowed to make an earnest appeal in
his own behalf.
The state board of pardons has final.
ly denied the application of Joseph
Till for pardon. Till's case has been
before the state board for the past six
wears

LITTLE HOPE OF PASSAGE
Senator H%ansbrough Discusses His
Bankinu Bill.

Senator Henry Hansbrough of North
Dakota, who is a member Of the finance
committee and chairman of the COM
mittee on public lands, has intro
duced a financial measure that merits
the attention of the business interests
of the country. The bill proposes a
central national bank of the United
States and has strong support in both
branches of congress. When asked
for a statement concerning his bill
Senator Hansbrough said:
81 do not hope for the passage of
this central bank bill at this session
Of congress. Indeed, it may be neces-
sary to have a few more panics I'M
der the present system before we can
look for n relief by the adoption
of a rational plan of currency reform.
There are flaws in this bill, no doubt,
but if they were all added together
they would be outweighed by the bur-
den of errors the nation is now suf-
feing."

UL1IMAruM TO MEN.
Issued by the Mine Owners at Cold
field. New,

Goldfield, Dec. 10.-The mines of
Goldfield are to be reopened on Thurs
day next. The wage scale is to be re-
duced 20 per cent. Meanwhile men will
be brought here to the number Of 500
to take the places of the strikers. Such
is the decision Of the executive COM
mittee of the Mine Owners associa-
ton. The change from Wednesday to
Thursday was made to allow time to
get men frSm other points here to re-
place strikers.
The mine n have agreed to
employ no members of the Western
Federation of Miners or a member of
any union affiliated with that ~organiza-
ton, but all old employees who agree
to abandon the union and also agree
never again to join it or any affiliated
organization will be taken back and
given preference at all times.
1t was decided that the cost of liv-
ing in the Goldfeld mining district be
reduced at least 20 per cen from what
it now is and unless this be done with
in a reasonable time the Mine Owners
association is to construct and operate
a general merchandise store Or stores
and boarding houses that will guaran-
tee to the men employed at and
around the mines and mills a reduc-
ton to this or greater amount.
Governor Sparks will come to Gold
field on Thursday. The troops now
here will be scattered through the
camp and will practically guard the
mines. The card system, as used at
Cripple Greek, will be introduced.

CHICAGO AN EASY WINNER
Republican National Convention
to Meet There June 16.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Chicago, June
Ii. The former is the place and the
latter the time at which the Repub-
lican national convention for 1908 will
be held. Both points We're decided by
the Republican national committee in
conference at the Shoreham hotel in
this city. The meeting occupied near
ly four hours and in that time the
claims of Chicago, Kansas City and
Denver for the convention location
were all pointedly presented by advo-
Gates of the various places. The vote
stood 81 for Chicago, IS for Kansas
City and 4 for Denver, after which the
choice of Chicago was declared to be
by reclamation. The result was pleas
antly received by all the members Of
the committee and by the Kansas City
and Denver boomers, of whom there
were sixty or seventy present, and all
announced themselves as satisfied.
Kansas City declared through her dele
cation, however, that she would come
back after it again in 1912 and would
be sure to get it at that time The
selection of the date was a compro-
mise between the first of June and the
last of June, all being satisfied on that
point also. The controversy over the
method of selecting delegates to the
convention for the states which have
primary laws was also compromised
and the latter placed in the hands of
the state and district committees.
