A man named Sleeper was brought out
as a candidate for the House Of Repre-

soon as the people had had time to
realize the significance of the thing,
however. a general demand went up that
he do the appropriate thing by running
for the Senate instead Of the House.

NJ $, Largey, president Of the state
doors ON Thursday, the same day that the
suspension of Otto Heinze A. Co. was an
nounced was in New York yesterday try
ing to raise enough cash to tide the concern
over. +. A. Heinze owns 62 per cent. of
the stock.
THE bank is entirely solvent. Mr.. Largey
said, but we were forced to close the doors
on account Of our inability to get enough
cash. Although the banks in Butte were
satisfied that our condition was good they
were unable to spare US the cash we needed.
In New York We could have got all We
wanted under similar circumstances. The
cause Of our suspension was the withdrawal
Of our savings depoeits by miners who
were thrown out Of employment by the
shutting down Of work on the Amalgamated
mines. Our loans to members of the Heinze
party were comparatively insignificant
and were not a factor in the failure. l am
going to have a conference with Mr.. +. A.
Heinze tonight in order to make some
arran cement with him to get cash enough
to restore the confidence Of our depositors
and tide us over until we can realize on
our assets"
Mr.. Largey was asked about the reports
that the suspension OF the bank had been
forced by enemies of MIR. Heinze to discredit
him. Thomas NJ Hodgens a former close
associate Of Heinze but now u bitter enemy,
returned to Butte few days ago after an
absence Of some months in Alaska He was
formerly the cashier and virtual head of
the bank and IL was suggested that he had
brought about the suspension.
Il do not think that is so.7 Mr. Largey
said. "Mr. Hodgens went over the books
of the bank only a few days ago on court
order which he obtained in connection with
some of his suits to recover money which he
alleges Mr.. Heinze owes him, and admitted
that everything was in first class condition"
Mr.. Largey was also asked about the
attachment that Sheriff Hayes received
yesterday against the property Of the
in favor Of the Mercantile National Bank.
This sum was said to represent the balance
on q demand note made by the State Savings
Bank Oh March 6 A copy Of the attach
ment was served on an officer Of the bank

Mr.. Larsey said. "and it sounds very un-

White made a winter book on the Amer

returned the money to the bettors. but
White retained about s22 600 on the ground
that the money was lost in the calling of
Of the race. White successfully resisted
all efforts 90 compel him TO refund the
money. He later had financial difficulties
with bookmaker in Baltimore for whom
he acted AZ cashier and treasurer.
White came here and originated Pen,
Ink and Brush early in lsOJ. He made
favorable impression ON Hamilton King
the artist, and got him to stani as presi

and Ohio Gushing as vice-presdents. Mr..
Gilbert later demanded that the Use of

Although White publicly denied that the
two had any connection, he was writing Ia

that Pen, Ink and Brush had taken over
the work OF the Press Artists League, then
dsbanded, and was organised ON a much
more substantial basis. lie wrote that
Pen, Ink and Brush hoped 10 found a num-

In return they were to have a private view

The exhibitions didn't amount To very
much, because the artists didn't have much
