SERIOUS CHARGE
 AGAINST BANKER

Pittsburg, Pa. October %.-William Montgomery, cashier of the Allegheny National bank until the discovery of a shortage in it's funds of over S1,25o,ooO early last summer neeessitated closing the institution, was for the second time this week today found guilty of embezzle- ment and abstraction of funds, his pecu- lations amounting to $6lSOOO.
 The conviction today involved the ab- straetion of $144,000 worth of the bank s bonds, and as in the first case, Montgom- cry offered no testimony in defense.
 Several of the directors of the bank tes- tifed that Montgomery had never been given authority to deliver the bonds in question. or use them as collateral but one of them James ". Brown, admitted that Montgomery had practically unlimit- ed power in conducting the banks busi- ness.
 The jury was out less than two hours.
 Montgomery was also jointly indicted with Addison S. Altaffer, discount clerk, and hearing of this case will probably be- gin next week.
 Two indictments for forgery against Montgomery are pending in county courts.

Citizens Respond to Appeal for Funds. Revival Services We'll Attended. Personal and General
 News of Ensley.

Ensley, October 2S.-tspecial. )-Notwith- standing the interest in local politics. the question of the new county amendment is being freely discussed. Since the meet ing of the Ensley Commercial club Tues day and the call for a mass meeting to be held next Friday at the opera house, the voters of Ensley are giving the prop osition serious consideration. The prevail ing sentiment seems to oppose the amend ment from any standpoint, but the fact that the proposed new county takes in territory that is considered in the Ensley district for instance Mulga and other places close in, the citizens as whole seem inclined to oppose any dismember- ment of the county.
 Chairman Stewart of the Commercial club and other prominent members are working to get a large crowd to attend the meeting Friday night when the whole proposition will be laid before the voters of the beat that they may vote intelli- gently on this important question.

COMPLAINT FROM
 THE CANAL ZONE

Washington. October 2S.-G. obaldia, son of the President of Panama, who is here on his way to establish a Panama consulate at London said in an interview today that while he had no official status in the United States, he would like to as- sist the Panama merchants who are pro- testing against what they charge to be an encroachment on their trade by the isthmian canal commission. He says the commission is handling delicacies, fine clothing, etc., and that when the canal employees can buy these things from the oommissary on a free trade basis they are not going to buy from the Panaman merchants, who pay a 10 per cent tariff on imports and exact storekeepers' neces- sary profit. He also charges that canal employees have loaned their trading coupons to the natives of Panama. The canal commissions contention is that when the problem was left to the native storekeepers to solve the employees either could not get the articles they wanted or were forced to pay exorbitant prices.

EIGHT MEN INDICTED.
Special Grand Jury. Takes Up Cases
 on ,Bucketshops.

Cincinnati, October 2S.-The special grand jury empaneled in the United States court to examine into alleged Cincinnati bucketshops returned indictments against eight men today Those indicted are:
 Louis w Foster, Arthur c. Baldwin, John M. Scott, Ed F. Hell, Waiter J.. Campbell and John M. German of Foster & Co.,, and George H. Stapely and John A. Payne of George H. Stapely & Co.
 The charge upon which the men were indicted is that of using the United States mails to defraud It is set out that both companies distributed through the mails circulars and statements which would tend to show that they were engaged in the legitimate business of brokerage and were regular members of reputable stock exchanges It Is also alleged that they represented that. they were engaged in the real buying and selling of the goods they traded in, instead of performing all of the transactions on paper as was the alleged actual fact.
