 According to evidence obtained by detectives employed by the Voters league, six banks of this city were held up by councilmen for sums of from S100OO to $20,OO0 to secure their nomi- nations as Repositories of city funds
 Besides the seven councilmen and two bank officials already arrested twenty-five members of council and bankers are accused, and their arrest Is expected today or tomorrow.
 The first meeting of councils since the diScloSuras were made is sched- uled for tonight The seven accused oouncilmen have not expressed them selves as to whether they intend to be present in their official capacity. but Attorney Clarence Burleigh, coun- sel for Joseph C. Wasson, Jacob Sof- fel and T. O. Atkinson. has stated that he would advise his clients to continue their councilmanic duties. If this advice is acted upon the passage of the appropriation bills will be ex- peditcd, as Mir. Wasson is chairman of the finance committee.
 A statement issued by T. D. liar mon. member of the executive com mittee of the Voters league. says:
 'Pittsburg'S councimanic corrupt PTS. the real root of the bribery evil here. will suffer equally with those who fell before their temptations. The Voters league is not in this thing for any political reason for there is not member of the executive body who would accept a public office if it were given him. We intend to clean up the city. and this is the first move. Other sensations will follow. and the men who are attempting to frshten as by their threats of counter suits soon will learn whether or not we are In earnest"

 The center of tonight's festivities will of course be the debutante She is young to be the observed of all ob- servers at a large society function, being only few months past her sev- enteenth birthday. It is commonly be- lieved here that it was not the original intention of Mrs. Roosevelt to bring out so soon her only daughter The desire to give Miss Ethel a season in the White House before her fathers term expired is the reason for tOnight's ball.
 Of course Miss Roosevelt Is by no means a stranger to the social world. For the last two years she has been present at many of the state recep- tions in the White House and she was conspicuous as one of the attractive young girls at the wedding of her older half sister, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long worth, Yet the contrast between Miss Ethel and Mrs. LongwOrth is most striking even to the cursory observer.

the Globe" is an ideal fruit for ship ping and should bring fancy prices. Spring planting for a fall crop is rec commended. Arrangements for a sup ply of seed from Ohio are being made by Manager Pearson of Crutchfeld & Woolfolk.
 i, Associations and distributors urge upon growers of vegetables the i'm portance of giving notice in advance of what they expect to offer for ship ment, in order that boxes and crates may be ordered and kept in readiness at the packing houses. It is unreason- able to expect the associations to keep all sorts of receptacles on hand and be ready to handle anything that may be offered without notice. Distribut- ors are doing the best they can to provide against all contingencies, but growers who fail to give notice of what they are raising can blame only their own negligence if they do not get their products to market
 Cantaloupe growers understand tha it is necessary to "sign up" if they want their crop sent to market Grow CTS of tomatoes, asparagus, beans and all other vegetables should see that it is to their interest to do the same thing, and work systematically with the distributors of produce.

KING "A HARD CITIZEN.
Escaped From Jail and Tried to Mur
 der Jake Meadows.

A. c. King, alias Bert Hensley, who ran a skating rink in Fl Centro and proved to be wanted at the Mansfield, Ohio, reformatory, turned out to be a hard case.
 With the help of some undesirable citizens, he escaped from the county jail last week, and after his accom- plices had cut off his irons in the blacksmith shop, he hiked for Mexico, taking along rife stolen from the jail.
 Mexican officers got after the fugi- tive and took away the rife, which they still hold, and Hensley came back over the line and was caught by Depu- ty Sheriff Jake Meadows. After the irons were on, Hensley attacked the deputy, seized a shot gun and at tempted to kill him, but was over powered and brought back to jail Constable Moore has taken him to Ohio.
