IN HANDS OF EXAMINERS
Two More New York Banks Suspend
Payment.

New York, Jan. 31.-Bank examiners
have taken active charge of the affairs
of the New Amsterdam National bank
state institution. Both of these
banks were included in the Morse
HeinZe-Thomas chain of banks and
after the closing of the National Bank
of North America few days ago there
had been what practically amounted
to runs upon them. Both of them were
still unable to take up their allotment
of the certificates which the clearing
house issued during the stringency
beginning In October and when the
renewed drain upon their resources
began the clearing house authorities
declined to extend further their credit,
Fearing heavier Withdrawals the Off
cials OF both banks decided to close
their doors.
Although this action was not unex-
pected among the bankers and well
informed men in the financial world it
found many of the depositors unpre-
pared and caused them much incon-
AS a I0ShlL vi thC SloSii1f3
of these banks several others not in
the important class met heavy with
drawals of deposits. One of these was
the Oriental bank, where quite a run
of depositors began as soon as the
office was opened for business. All
depositors were paid promptly and
President Hugh Kelly announced that
twelve other institutions had come to
the aid of the bank and that he hoped
to be able to withstand the drain.
1t is not anticipated that the clos
ing of the New Amsterdam and Me
chanics and Traders banks will have
any effect upon the general banking
situation in this city, as both of them
have been going through gradual
| liquidation for the last few months
| In which their debts and credits have
| been gradually reduced.

SUFFRAGlSTS 0UTWIT POLICE
Noisy Scenes Witnessed on Fashion
able London Streets.

London, Jan. 31.-Having failed to
reach King Edward during the cere-
monies opening parliament and as the
house of commons is effectively barred
against them the women suffragists of
England adopted new method of pro-
testing against the fact that his ma
iesty, in his speech from the throne,
made no mention of their demands to
be permitted to vote. The militant
members of the organization formed
themselves into several committees,
which. at the same hour, visited the
homes of the various members of the
cabinet for the purpose of asking
them to use their influence to have
the question of women's suffrage set
tied at this session. AS none of the
ministers would see them the women
demonstrated by ringing doorbells and
delivering addresses from doorsteps.
The police were unprepared for this
course of action and noisy scenes
were witnessed on several of the
fashionable thoroughfares Of London.
The women eventually were dispersed
after seven arrests had been made.

REFUSES TO INTERFERE.
Federal Judge and Enfofcement of
Sunday Laws.

Kansas City, Jan. 31.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, in the United States dis
trict court here, has handed down
decision declining to interfere with
the county Off cials of this county in
the enforcement of the Missouri stat
ute making unnecessary labor on Sun
day misdemeanor.
The decision was rendered in a
case brought in the name of Nance
O'Neil, the actress, and the local the
aters, who sought to permanently en-
join the county grand jury from in
dieting them. The decision is vic
tory for Judge William H. Wallace of
the criminal court, who, in his cam
paign against Sunday labor, has
caused the indictment of 1000 stage
folk and theatrical managers and at
taches, as we'll as hundreds of store
keepers for alleged violation of the
Sunday law. All have been required
to give heavy bond. None of the
cases has come to trial, the theatrical
managers, who have furnished the
bonds in the various cases, having de-
clined an offer of Judge Wallace to
bring about a test case in the lower
courts.
The complainants last Saturday Sc
cured a temporary injunction restrain
ing the grand jury from indicting
them. They sought permanent in
junction, which was denied by Judge
Mcpherson. The complainants al
legged that the grand jury now in ses-
sion was illegally drawn and that
Judge Wallace personally selected the
jury in violation of the law. This
Judge Wallace denied.
Judge Mcpherson SAYS that the
proper course for the eolnplainants is
to seek trial in the criminal court and
then take an appeal to the state SUI
preme court and finally to the SUI
preme court of the United States.

JEROME MAKES PLEA.
Prosecutors Address in Thaw
Case Surprises Hearers.
Different FROM LAST YEAR
Admits Stanford White Had Done
Evelyn Nesbit ThaW Great Wrong,
but Insists Motive of Murder Was
One of Revenge.

New York, Jan. 31.--Conceding that
Harry X. Thaw may have had IRA
tional outbreaks now and then during
the thirty-six years of his life District
Attorney Jerome, in his plea for the
conviction of Stanford Whites slayer,
declared there was absolutely nothing
in the case presented to the jury to
show that Thaw was so insane the
night of the tragedy that he did not
know the nature or quality of his act
or that the act was wrong. The prose
cutor followed this, however, by signi-
flying very plainly that he believed
justice would be served if the defend
ant should be found guilty of some
lesser degree of criminal responsible
ity than murder in the first degree.
He explained carefully all the ele-
ments that entered into verdict of
first degree murder and then pointed
the way to two other possible findings
murder in the second degree or
manslaughter in the first.
Mr. Jerome surprised his hearers by
the striking contrast of his argument
with that of year ago. The vfndic-
tiveness was gone, the passionate de-
fense of White was gone, the denun'
citation of Evelyn Nesbit had no place
in his remarks. Instead there was
calm, analytical presentation of the
evidence, a concession of possible
weakness, both mental and physical,
in the defendant, but always recur-
renee to the hard and fast rule of the
law that a man to be excused must be
so insane as not to know what he was
about.
Mr. Jerome declared dramatically
that there was no doubt Stanford
White had done Evelyn Nesbit great
wrong and that Harry Thaw had every
motive for revengeful murder upon
the man he killed. This motive, he
lasserted, forever swept away the
claim of insanity, which knows not
what it does.

TO COST ABOUT $1,000, 900
Enormous Steel Plant to Be Erected
in China.

New York, Jan. 31.-An enormous
steel plant is to be erected at Hankow,
China, by a company composed en-
tirely of Chinese capitalists. The
erection of the plant is primarily for
the purpose of supplying steel for the
construction of the various railways
in Central and Northern China, but it
is expected that the plant will at some
time become a factor in the general
steel trade of the Far East. 1t is
estimated that the initial cost of the
new plant will be about $6,000,000 and
inquiries are being made in America
with view to placing orders here for
the greater part of the equipment.
New steel plants are also projected in
Japan and India, the total cost OF the
three plants being in excess of $685.
100000.

Grated Steamships along the Atlantic
coast and from New York to Cuba
and Porto Rico had come under his
direct command. With the financial
crash of October, which carried down
several financial institutions in which
Morse was heavily interested, support
was withdrawn from his steamship
enterprise and talk of reorganiza-
tion gained wide circulation. While
no such reorganization yet has taken
place a committee has been at work
upon plans to that end and the COM
porent companies have been operated
under separate managements. AS a
result OF the troubles which came to
the big holding company the January
interest on the $60,00O,00O issue of col
lateral bonds was not paid.

CAPITOL GRAFT CASES.
Defense Proposes to Fight Every Inch
of Ground.


Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 31.-Stanford
B. Lewis, associate of Architect Joseph
M. Huston, was forced to divulge, at
the trial of the state capitol conspir-
acy cases, testimony of a damaging
nature to the architects interests. I'm
der rigid cross examination by coun-
sci for the defense Lewis virtually ad-
mitted that the blue print plans for
capitol furniture, particularly the
sofas, were indefinite.
Lewis refused to give the measure
ments of sofas, tables and clothes
trees produced before the jury, saying
that he did not know how to make
the computation, whereupon he was
compelled by counsel for the defense
to measure a sofa and clothes tree.
All of this furniture was supplied by
Sanderson at the rate of $1S.40 per
foot"
The session was characterized by
frequent clashes of counsel, showing
that the defense proposes to fight bit

TOO LATE FOR JOHNSON.

The friends of Gov. johnson
have opened headquarters in Chi
cago and have begun campaign
to make the Minnesotan the DEM
ocratic nominee for President.
Their chief claim for Mr.. John
son is racial. They assert that be-
cause he is the son of Scandina-
Wan he can capture the Swedish.
Norwegian, and Danish vote of IL
linois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the Dakotas. This vote is normal
ly Republican.
This is a narrow platform. The
national question should not be
reason for or against any man. Ii
Gov. Johnson's friends have moth
ing else to recommend him to
the voters than that he could cap
ture big foreign vote because he
is of Swedish blood, then Gov.
johnson is not of Presidential cal
iber.
Neither race nor religion should
be elements of Presidential cam
paign.
Outside of this Gov. ,JOhnson'S
friends are too late.
If they had felt that their candi-
date had in him the material for a
Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton, they should have begun their
fight months ago.
1t now looks like a movement
to stringhalt Bryan.
Bryan has the nomination in his
grasp.
If he lives Bryan will be the
choice of the Denver convention
unless there isa revolution of pub
lie sentiment, and we do not be-
lieve there will be revolution.
If johnson was ever an available
candidate his sponsors slept in their
tents while the Bryan men were
gathering in the delegates.
In New York State there are
forces behind the johnson move
ment that are not Democratic.
They believe ia the divine right
of the Privileged Rich to exploit
this country for their own aggran-
dizement.
