Early Closing Movement at Dover

A movement to have all Dover
stores close in the evenings at G
O'Clock except Wednesday and Satur-
day evenings has been begun by the
clerks and their friends. A similar
movement was begun several years
ago and was then defeated on the
ground that country people from the
thickly settled agricultural neighbor-
hood about Dover could not get in
through the week for shopping, ex-
cept in the evenings.

and the fact that we have exchanged
the reliable, sober, industrious Chinese
laborer for the unreliable, drunken and
quarrelsome Japanese is very unfortun-
ate for the state.

Mr.. Fletcher's report as chairman of
the committee on banking laws was
requested to withhold it until this
morning, when there is to be a joint
session with the legislative commits
sion, at which important action looking
toward the revision of existing laws is
expected to be taken.
Explains Banking Laws
Justice Burnett, who arrived at the
conclusion of Mr.. Fletchers address,
was asked to read his paper, and COM
piled, giving a voluminous explanation
of the banking laws. He stated he had
gone through $50 volumes of the call
fornia reports to gather data for the
and decisions for the benefit of bank
ers. all of which covered details of
banking business liable to arise at any
moment.
Among the points brought out by
Justice Burnett, and which caused
general and strenuous discussion and
much surprise among many, was that
if bank honors a check presented at
ter the death of the drawer, which may
or may not be known to the bank, the
heirs of the estate can collect 1t again.
No check, he said. under supreme court
decisions, is valid after the death OF
the signer, even though the check is
drawn on his death bed and offered for
payment Immediately after the death.
Justice Burnett's address was very
long, and dealt mostly with court de-
cisions and laws.
At it's conclusion Cyrus Pierce, man
ager for M H. Halsey & Co. of San
Francisco, delivered an address on
Bonds as a Secondary Reserve for
Banks His speech was received with
much applause, but was of nature
interesting only to bankers.
An adjournment until this morning
was taken at the conclusion of Mr..
Pierce's paper, about 6 p. m.

PROTECTIVE COMMITTEE
WILL PROSECUTE CASES

Important action was taken by the
bankers in regard to the work of the
protective committee, which is now
given positive instructions to undertake
the prosecution of all cases of dishonest
banking found within the state.
Heretofore the work of the commit
tee has been confined to prosecuting
those cases which directly AFFECT the
members of the California State Bank
ers' association.
This new and firm stand against dis
honest banking conduct was taken on
recommendation of Chairman f. l..
Lipman of the executive council, who
is vice president Of the Wells-Fargo
Nevada National bank of San Fran
cisco. His complete report was not
read on account of its length, but was
passed to print directly and will be
included in the book of the proceedings
which is given to all the bankers OF
the state.

Beating
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PUEBLO, Colo, May H.-Without
apparent cause, James Lynn, negro
at midnight yesterday burst into the
home of Mrs. Julia James, white wo-
man, and after beating the woman UNI
mercifully, drove her and her daughter
Sarah, aged Is, into the streets, where
he shot and killed the girl and mortally
wounded the mother.
After the shooting Lynn made his es-
cape, going toward the river bottom. A
large number of officers has been put
on his trail.
Five other children of Mrs. James
were in the house at the time of the
assault, but they say they do not know
the cause of the trouble.
Lynn lives near them. His wife is
also unable to account for the tragedy,
though she says that he has been talk
ing of killing for some time past.

seemed TO be happy. Some five or six lib

why l Left the Church" and was treat
which we old infides don't often get

a long time to forget. Your humble scribe
tried to talk on Some Absurdities of the
Christian Church The following are some
of the points mentioned: Beginning with
the greatest absurdity of all, viz: that
few thousand years ago being called the
Lord God" came into existence from no.
where and created universe from Moth
ing; made a man out of the dust and
woman from a part of the man. This
Lord God" foreknew all things; was goa
of wisdom, of love, of mercy, of justice; yet
created devil to thwart his will and pur-
poses; let that devil get away with his best
efforts. That god planted a tree in the
midst of his garden whose fruit would
make one wise but forbid his children to
partake of it; knew from the beginning
they would eat of it, and he would have to
raise up son to be sacrificed to possibly
save few of his children from he'll he
must eeds make. He kicked that devil cut
of heaven onto the earth, knowing too he
would cause all this trouble unless he put
him in hell and kept him there. Another
absurdity among many others is the Judas
case. Christ knew from the beginning
who would betray him." John 6-64. And
