Pittsburg Banks Go to the Rescue OF
the Allegheny National.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 15.-Following
a meeting held late last night by the
directors Of the Allegheny National
bank and representatives OF number
of other larger financial institutions IN
the city, definite action was taken to-
day to rase fund Of 100000 cash,
which will be placed in the bank for
the purpose of assuring the depos1tors
and public of the unimpaired solidity
of the Allegheny National bank.
To further maintain public con-
fidence in the institution and create a
better feeling of security in the minds
of depositors plan of reorganization
of its management has also been
agreed upon. Both of these measures
are to be put into immediate erect.
Concerning the palcing OF the hail
million dollars fund in the bank, Ma
tional Bank Examiner Folds has made
the following statement:
"Certain strong financial institutions
having come forward to the oirec.ors
of the Allegheny National bank with
the proposition to join with the d1rec-
tors to raise a guaranty fund OF $5oo,-
600 cash, to be placed In the bank 70
the end that a greater commence ana
feeling of security NAV be realized by
the nublic and bank depositors,
meeting of the directors OF the bank
was held last evening and the proposl-
tion accepted and the fund provided
for.
1.-THE agreement also PROVIDED LOT an
entirely new and competent manage
ment to be selected Immediately. The
manner in which the agreement is to
be carried out was arranged at a con-
ference over the long distance tele,
phone between Examiner Folds ana
Deputy and Acting Comptroller Of the
Currency Kane, who have sanctioned
the agreement. This insures the con-
tinued active existence of the bank
Mr.. Folds stated there was nothing
he could say concerning Cashier VIII
liam Montgomery or his confession
/, made Wednesday afternoon 10 Attor-
new RurIeigh counsel for the bank, ex-
cent the former cashier was still out
on 100000 bail. He expressed the
belief, however, that Montgomery
would tell the whole truth concerning
his transactions.
! 1t is persistently rumored that the
shortage will exceed $1,00O,000, but
this can not be verified and Montgom-
ery is only charged with the embez-
element of 1863, 600.

That Is What the Proposed
Advance in Freight Rates
Means to the Inhabitants of the
United States.
SUM OF s14O,OOO,OOO.
To Be Added to Burden of the
Consuming Public.
Would Increase Cost of Living
One and a Half Per Cent.

Chicago, May 15.-Just what the adj
vance in freight rates proposed nv the
eastern railroads within the territory
OF the official classification territory
alone. which comprises the section east
OF the Mississippi river and north of
the OHIO. will mean in increased cost Of
living is set forth in a table of statis-
tics compiled by the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association. The table, together
with legal opinions and recommended
lions, will be presented TO-DAY at the
conference here of representatives of
fifty of the largest Industrial organiza-
tons Of the east and middle west.
The railroads propose to tax every
man, woman and child in the county
$1.75 head" is the first contention sci
forth
THAT is why the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association has called the con-
ference on railroad rates. The increase
contemplated will raise the present
gross freight revenue of the roads in
the official classification territory from
approximately 1 billion to lao million.
There are 80 million people in the
country, SO each one will be called on
to contribute $175 per annum to the
Golfers of the railroad companies. This
Is an average of 1888 from each family,
or almost twice as much as the aver
age family pays in taxes and about 81
more than the average contribution to
religious purposes. 1t would pay the
average mans life insurance for six
months, buy food for his family for
over ten days, clothe them for a month,
pay the rent for five weeks, or meet
more than three-quarters of his annual
expenditures on vacations and amuse-
ments. 1t would increase the cost of
living all around by approximately IL
per cent.
IF the railroads are losing money,
so are the shippers, and so are the
working men who are out of work or on
short time, and we hope that this con-
ference will result in so rousing the
consuming and shipping public that the
railroads will be forced to abandon
their selfish policy of attempting to
shift all the burden ofthard times onto
the shoulders Of the public. The rail-
roads shared bountifEily in the pros
perity of the last ten years. Let them
pay their share of the nations reduced
income" AZ sTe

BOUNTY. ON CAT ScAlPs
Chicago Man Places ahPriee Upon the
/ 49,, Head Of Every Feline.

Chicago, May 15.-Rockwell Sayre,
lover of birds and bitter. foe of the
feline tribe, has placed a price upon
the head of every cat in Chicago.
Drawing the concentrated wrath of at
least two aristocratic cat clubs and
unmindful of the tempest that may be
expected from individual cat conno1s-
seurs, Mr.. Sayre has offered the fol-
lowing bounty:
For the first hundred cats killed-10
cents each. -
For the largest number of cats or
kittens by any one person-$1.0O.
For the second largest number,
800.
For the third largest number. $1.o0.
This offer, which holds good until
December, is made in a letter publish
ed today from Mr.. Sayre, who IS a
dealer in farm land.
In his letter Mr.. Sayre says:
"Cats have more diseases than chill
dren; carry contagious diseases from
house to house. suck baby's breath,
scratch children's eyes out, pit f1eas
into homes and hair into coffee, and
victulas.
Robins come to us and sing in
spring, hop on our lawns In confidence,

ly, because they are the easiest prey
for them; before summer is gone each
year we have no robins, or nearly none

the appearance of being deep think

MIR. MEDLICorrs GOOD RECORD.
Has Collected Much Back Taxes Long
Due the County.

From the books Of County Treasurer
Medlicott 1t is shown that this official
has collected in back taxes, special
taxes and penalties from February to
April 81 of this year the sum Of $4,-'
257.64. These back taxes and penal
ties extend back over a period Of years
clear to 1892. This Is fine showing
for the county treasurer. as he has
collected money due the county as long
as sixteen years. The sum mentioned
also includes interest on the original
, sums due. From october Of last year
to April ~, 1908. Mr.. Medlicott has
col1ectedin back taxes. penalties and
interest the sum total of $11.440. This
is a remarkable showing, especially
when one considers that he has listed
all this mass of figures covering this
Indebtedness during a period of six
teen years, showing what each sum
was for, in what year 1t was incurred
and interest computed on all the null
titude of small sums involved. -Four
or five hundred items had to be COM
puted and tabulated to get the total
sum set forth above. Before Mr.. Med
licott's time the custom was to lump
these back tax accounts together in
stead of tabulating each separate item
for each year. The advantage of the
more intricate plan is that it gets bet
ter results in cleaning up this old in
debtedness. This item of over 1000
from what might be called an in
significant source is well worth espe-
cial mention.

M'CABE GOES FREE.
His Wife Refuses to Testify Against
Him.

The case Of the State VS.. James Nc
Cabe, charged with adultery, was dis
missed in city court this morning, for
reason that Mrs. Lille McCabe, other
wise Mrs. James F. McCabe, the com
planning witness, refused to testify in
the case. Judge Simon held that
the complaint herein was maliciously
brought. That court renders 5udg-
ment against complaining witness and
it is order that unless the costs are
paid or bound in double the amount
thereof, that the complaining witness
be committed to Jail until this judg-
ment is complied with The judge
stated that unless these costs are
| satisfied today he would order Mrs.
McCabe placed in Jail on commitment
until they were satisfied.
In district court this morning, Mrs.
McCabe, through her attorney, w. l.
Jamison, dismissed her suit for d.
vorce against James McCabe. AT
the conclusion of the sitting OF city
court this morning McCabe and his
wife left the court room together.
They refused to be interviewed over
