BANK EXAMINER | DRUNK, THEY SAY.
Closed Bank Without Cause,
 Declare Its Officers.

Pittsburg, Sept. [. - Two banking sensations are the talk of Pittsburg to- day. The Cosmopolitan National bank was closed, and the Mount Washing ton Savings and Trust company had notices posted on It's doors for fifteen minutes which were taken down and the examiner went away without any explanation of his action.
 The directors of the trust company will begin criminal prosecutions against James NJ. Cover, the state banking examiner, for the latter ac- ton.
 After the closing of the Cosmopolitan National bank serious charges were made against the bank examiner, John B. Cunningham, who made an exami- nation of the bank.
 It is alleged by F. A. Kitzmiller, vice president, and Charles A. Muehlbron. ner, director, that Examiner Gun ningham was intoxicated when he closed the bank and did not know what he was doing. u.s NJ
 Cunningham has an excellent record, having unearthed the irregularities al the Enterprise National bank and the Farmers and Drovers' National bank of Waynesburg. -n

RECORD FLIGHT BY
 FRENCH AER0PLAN|ST
N. DeIagrange Remains h the
 Air Half an Hour.

Paris, Sept. 7.- Leon Delagrange, president of the Aviation Club of France, established a new worlds rec ord with his aeroplane at Issy both for length and duration of flight. NJ. De- lagrange remained in the air for 29 field fifteen and a half times, covering a distance of 24.727 meters, or about fifteen and a quarter miles. The dis tance covered beat the longest flight previously made, that by Henry Far man in July. by minutes 34 1-5 sec onds and exceeded the distance just covered by Wilbur Wright by about one and three-quarter miles. The new records have been accepted officially.
 M Delagrange's sensational flight, which closely approaches the longest unofficial flights claimed by the Wright brothers in the United States, is rem dered still more impressive by the fact that he came down only because the fluid used for his motor became ex- hausted. He carried twenty-four liters in a tank. and practically every drop of it was used.
 When NJ. Delagrange cut of the power be came lightly to the earth. NM. Quinton, Cashier, Ferber and MaIecot and a dozen other noted aero planists witnessed the performance and were enthusiastic in their accla- nations.
 NJ. Delagrange immediately installed a tank of thirty liters' capacity with the intention of trying for another record. but while preparations were going on the wind rose and he decided to postpone the trial. A dead calm prevailed during the record breaking flight.

FOREST FIRES RAGING AGAIN.
Flames Famed By Winds Are
 Threatening Towns.

Duluth, Minn.. Sept. S.-The Mesaba range is again threatened with the fire horror which swept away Chisholm and wiped out thousands of acres of standing timber. After day of quiet the flames were famed into renewed fury again by winds and swept on to. ward Hibbing, Buhl and Nashwauk from the south.
 The town of Snowfall. 100 inhabit. ants, was completely destroyed. The people had no opportunity to fight the flames and fled in terror. Snowfall is about two miles from Nashwauk.
 Brooklyn, small suburb of Hibbing, is threatened with fire, and if this DOT. tion of the town catches the rest is doomed. Buhl and Nashwauk are again in danger. Aurora is entirely surrounded by forest fires, and the citizens are fighting the flames. The town is believed to be safe unless a strong wind should rise.
 Mitchell, small town about one mile southeast of Hibbing, was threatened with destruction and was saved only by heroic efforts. Several hundred men are still guarding the place. The pine timber which surrounds Mitchell has been almost entirely consumed
 Between Nashwauk and -Hibbing, a region twenty-two miles long, the for ests are continuous mass of flames. From Hibbing it is an appalling sight, and the big clouds of smoke which poured over the threatened city hid the sun as though the sky was over cast with black clouds.

Town of Chisholm, Minn., In Ashes
 After Forest Fire.
 Duluth, Minn., Sept. 7.-After de. stroying the town of Chisholm, on the Mesaba range. and burning over thou sands of acres in St. Louis, Carleton and Itasca counties, Minn., and in Douglass county, Wis, the many forest fires which have been raging in these regions were checked
 When the strong wind which had driven the flames before 1t in many timbered and agricultural townships subsided the thousands of homeless people took stock of their belongings and prepared to rebuild farmhouses and settlements.
 The subsiding of the wind enabled the inhabitants of Buhl and Nashwauk to save those towns. Several buildings at the edge of Nashwauk were burn ed. but by working all night thou sand miners and citizens prevented the flames from sweeping over the village
 Chisholm presents scene of ruin and desolation. Blackened and smok- ing piles of charred wood. little heaps of gray ashes stirred by the fitful breezes, scorched gaunt skeletons of brick and mortar, all canopied with a dense pail of smoke, comprise what was one of the most fourishing towns on the great Mesaba iron range. The only remaining buildings are the new $125,000 high school. a grade school, a Catholic church, the Italian church and dozen dwellings in the southern most part of town. .,s
 The damage to real property is now estimated at $1,000,OO0 and that to per sonal property at s75o,0oO. The insur- ance carried by Chisholm merchants was about $5000O0.
 There are many destitute persons, especially among the miners. Many men are without funds to buy a meal.
 Governor Johnson has issued a proc lamation calling on the people of the state to come to the aid of the suffer CTS.

 A Swiss companion of Miss Peck had foot and both hands frozen, which caused gangrene to set in, and an Indian guide was miraculously saved from death after falling a thou sand feet down a ravine. ..
 This last attempt of Miss Peck to scale the Huascaran was begun on Aug, 20. Two weeks previously she climbed the mountain to height of 25,0O0 feet. but was compelled to re- turn to the lowlands on account of the illness of one of her guides,
