continues to be rather more analyti-
cal than menacing. Things have been
comparatively quiet in the Balkans

Washington, Oct 23.-To enforce

make them pay more attention to their
institutions, Controller of the Currency
Murray today issued an order to ma
tional bank examiners directing them,
upon entering bank to make an ex-

formal list of twenty-five searching
questions, designed to bring out clear
~ the relation of the directors to the
executive conduct of the bank
The object of this order is to pre-
vent one or two men from controlling
national banks and to bring about q
more careful supervision of the invest
ment of funds. Occasionally nation
al pank is found where the control OF
its affairs is in the hands of one or
two men, the directors being minor
stockholders who take no active part
in the management and are ignorant of

fessed his guilt, with a prayer upon
his lips, Joe James, the 1Syear-old
negro murderer, was hanged in Jail
here this morning James murdered
c. A. Ballard, we'll known railroad
engineer, on July 8, last. The crime
was largely responsible for the precip-
itation Of the recent fatal race riot in
this city.
victel was the murder of Clergy A.
Ballard, early on the morning of July
last. James had entered the bed
chamber of Ballard's 16-year-o old
daughter. When discovered by the
young woman the negro fed pursued
by the father. The two engaged in a
scuffle and Ballard was stabbed to
death.
1t was While James was a prisoner

rested charged with the latter assault,
were hurriedly taken to Bloomington.
Richardson was subsequently eXoner-
ated. James remained at Bloomington
several weeks and was then returned
to this city for trial.
