SUSPENDS PAYMENTS.
Man Who Touched National Bank Funds
Arrested and Is Arraigned
in Court.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 1S.-Follow-
ing meetings lasting all day Sunday at
which a thorough discussion of Cashier
held, the Allegheny National bank sus-
pended today. The following notice was
posted on the door shortly after 8 o'clock
by National Bank Examiner William
l.. Folds:
"Closed by the Order of the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency and Placed in
Charge of William l.. Folds"
That the bank would not open today
was generally stated in the morning pa
pers. For days. it has been apparent
that the cashiers alleged misdeeds had
seriously crippled the institution and the
actual suspension this morning caused
little or no excitement Quite number
Of depositors were gathered on Fifth ave
nue., opposite the bank, and when the
order of suspension was posted, all read
it and then quickly disappeared.
Cashier Montgomery, who is in Jail &C
cused of embezzling $3.50, 900 and the
abstraction of securities valued at Mo
600, was arraigned in the United States
court this afternoon on the first charge.
While Montgomery's peculatlons are
officially placed at $594, 900 it is said the
banks shortage is close to S2,OOO,OOO.
Montgomery is held in $125, 900 bail.
With more than a million and half
dollars of it's funds tied up indefinitely as

TO REVIEW WARSHIPS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL Of
FICIATE ON FEBRUARY %.
Secretary Metcalf Declares Sailors Are
as Efficient as University
Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
Twenty-four battleships will be reviewed
by President Roosevelt in Hampton
roads, February p next, the date of the
return of the Atlantic battleship fleet
from it's world cruise. Ii has been de-
termined that the new ships Wisconsin
and Nebraska, constructed on the Pa
cihc coast, shall be assigned to the At
lantic fleet, and will make the return
cruise with that organization. The bat
tleships Maine and Alabama, which
made the cruise to San Francisco under
Admiral Evans, will make a quick run
together, leaving that port early in June
Der.
Secretary Metcalf. who has just re-
turned from reviewing the fleet at San
Francisco, expressed himself today as
deeply impressed with the benefit the
cruise has had on both ships, officers
and men.
1T is remarkable" he said, chat the
long cruise should have benefited the
ships, but this is a fact. The condition
of their machinery is said to be inn
proved instead of deteriorated by the
voyage. This is hardly more striking than
the effect the voyage has had on the
officers and men.
II have no hesitancy in saying that
you could not pick at random 10000 uni
versity men throughout the country who
would give a better account of them
selves than the 10000 men which consti-
tute the personnel of the fleet"

IDAHO HONORS SHOUP
WESTERN SENATOR'S STATUE TO
BE IN HALL OF FAME.
Only Thirty-fve Likenesses of States
men, Patriots and Soldiers Now in
Nations Statuary Temple.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
Especial. within the next year another
statue will be added to the collection of
marble and bronze reproductions of the
statesmen, patriots and soldiers of the
republic who have been honored by the
states which they served. The latest adj
dition to the American hall of fame is to
be the statue of Senator George L..
Shoup of Idaho. The model of the work
has just been completed by the sculptor,
Frederick e. Triebel of New York, and
as soon as Congress aCjourns it will be
inspected by the commission appointed
fer the purpose.
Under the terms of the contract with
the sculptor, it must be completed and
delivered by the first of February next
and the dedication ceremonies will prob
ably attract greater gathering OF the
citizens of Idaho to Washington than
has ever been seen here before. The
statue of Senator Shoup will be the first
one erected by any of the states west of
the Missouri in honor of one of their
sons. although each state in the union
has the right to be represented by two
such statues. Should all of them avail
themselves of the privilege 1T would soon
become necessary to make an addition
to Statuary hall, which was formerly the
hall of the House of Representatives.
The total number authorized is ninety
two and up to the present time there are
only thirty-fve statues in place:
Rhode Island has two, Nathaniel
Greene and Roger Williams. Missouri
is represented by Francis ?. Blair and
Thomas H. Benton; New York, by Rob
ert r. Livingston and George Clinton;

York Senator Now Before
Court.

NEW YORK, May 18.-The suit for
absolute divorce of Mae G. Wood against
Senator Thomas G. Plat was called for
trial before Justice O'Gorman in the SUI
preme court today. Miss Wood, in her
complaint, declares that she was mar
ried to Senator Plat in this city on
November 9, 1901. She named as CO.
respondent in her suit Mrs. Lillian
Janeway, who was married to the sena-
tor in 1903.
'The plaintiff never made any claim
to me that she was married to me until
December, 1906" says Senator Plat i'll
his answer, nor did | ever hear of her
making any claim of marriage prior TO
that time, except that in June, 1906,
an article appeared in a Chicago news
paper containing an interview purport-
ing to come from her, in which she
stated that such a marriage had taken
place, and that article was accompanied
by picture or alleged fac smile of
wedding certificate containing my name
in association with the plaintiff"
He declares that the certificate repro
duced in the newspaper was a forgery:
He charges that since 1906 Miss Wood
has tried to get money from him by
threats that she would sue him for
breach of promise of marriage.

BEGINS WAR ON
TRACK GAMBL ING
GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA FIRES
BROADSIDE AT NEW ORLEANS
IN HIS MESSAGE.
WOULD REGULATE SALOONS.
lie Urges Prohibition in Districts Where
Public Sentiment Makes
Demand.
,OLOR DISTINCTION is MADE.

BATON ROUGE, La, May 1S.-Race
rack gambling to be suppressed absolute
y, and local option combined with high
license, to regulate the liquor traffic, were
wo of the most salient recommendations
f Gov. J. Y. Sanders inaugural message
o the Legislature today.
Of race track gambling the message
aid: The manner and mode of conduct
ng race tracks in and around New Or
cans and the fragrant gambling carried
IN at the tracks has deseryedly aroused
he moral sense of the people against it.
Il will earnestly urge upon the general
assembly the enactment of legislation
prohibiting and penalizing gambling on
iorse racing. All forms of gambling are
,ad and have no place in the economical
development of the state"
Views on Prohibition
After noting local option as the con-
stitutional policy of the state, the mes
sage says:
"Prohibition has worked we'll in those
sections of the state where popular senti-
ment is behind the law. On the other
hand, the obstacles in the way of en-
forcing such a law in portions of the
state where it is not demanded by pub
lie sentiment are so great as to render
the task practically impossible. In such
cases experience has demonstrated that
the best results are obtainable by effec-
tive regulation of the traffic.
"A higher license for the state and a
minimum license of $500 for parishes
and municipalities would appear to be
aot an unjust demand"
No Liquor in Groceries.
Condemnation was expressed of the
practices of combining saloon and gro
Gerry businesses and of issuing liquor
licenses to women. The suppression OF
selling liquor in the same building, to
negroes and whites was recommended.
