RIcKEY's EXAMINATION.
Bank Examiner Saws That There Is
Nothing Criminal.

Carson. Feb 19-During the exam
ination of I. b. Rickey, president or
the State Bank & Trust company. yes
terday before the justice court, Bank
Examiner Miller, on cross examna-
ton, stated that his Investigations did
not reveal anything criminal in any
of Rickey's loans or connection with
the bank. He admitted that he had
stated when the bank was first closed
that he thought it solvent. The trad
ing of accounts he believed had put
the bank in an unsafe condition. At
torney General Stoddard, who Is also
clerk OF the bank commissioners, tes-
tilted that he had signed the first
statement that the bank was solvent.
This he did upon being furnished IN
formation by the commissioners. He
was confident that this statement was
correct and had the depositors signed
n contract giving it time, the bank
could have been saved. At present
he did not believe the bank solvent.
Several clerks of the institution
were on the stand and all agreed that
they had no idea that the bank was
insolvent. They We're, in fact, all de-
positors.
II is believed that several days YET
remain to complete the Investigation.

JAPANESE STOElssD
Insisted on Entering brilish
Columbia and We're fined
$500 Each.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. ia dis
patch to the Post Intelligencer from
New Westminster, B. c., says: The
Natal act passed unanimously by the
Provincial government was tested
yesterday when the two Japanese
from Portland, who on Friday last
insisted on entering British Colum-
bia, were fined $500 each and sem
fenced to IL months imprisonment.
This is the full penalty under the
act.
Okazaki and Nakani, the men who
were chosen by the Japanese governs
ment to make the test were given the
option of putting up two sureties and
$3.50 each that they would leave the
country Immediately. They refused
this chance of escape, as instructed
by their counsel, and will continue
the fight on appeal.
Neither man can speak a word OF
English and both were clearly at
tempting to enter the country in de-
fiance of the act. Counsel for the
provincial government asked that
full penalty be imposed that the SEN
tence might be salutary one.
Tomorrow before Chief Justice
Hunter, counsel for the Japanese who
lis really acting at the instance of the
OTTAWA government, will initiate
habeas corpus proceedings.

the railroads to reduce the wages or
all classes of operatives.
In every part of the country Off
Gals of the unions comprising rail-
road employees have been notified by
the railroads that general reduc-
tion of wages and revision of work
ing agreements must be made by

mined that no reductions shall be
made, and the union officials are pre-
pairing to resist every attempt to re-
duce the present scale.

switchmen and conductors on the

mand for a reduction and say that
