SCH|vElY LOST
DAY Of GRACE

The legislative investigating COM
mittee will meet tomorrow to re-
sumo its inquiries into the state
Offices. J. Fl. Schively will not
again be asked to go before the
committee, as he failed to put in
an appearance at two of its SEES
sions last week, causing an al.
journment each time. If Schively
appears tomorrow his examination
will be completed; If he does not
come the findings of the committee
in his case will be drafted without
further examination.
Schively. 1t is believed, is pre-
pared for an adverse Judgment by
the committee and Is not DESTROYS
OF bareing any more of his official
conduct than Is necessary.
Fears are expressed that the ap.
preparation for the legislative in
quiry will not be sufficient for the
thorough examination with the
committee now sees is necessary,
as the investigation of the state
land office alone, it is estimated,
will require nearly all of the funds
remaining In the committee S
hands. To sift the operations of
the land Office the employment of
timber cruisers will be necessary
Offers of private subscriptions to

OPEN|NCG GAME
THROWN AWAY
OLD TIME eONEHEAD WORK
LOSES BEST BATTLE OF THE
SEASON IN SPITE OF BEST
WORK JENSEN HAS DONE.

Either Deller or Wright will
pitch today and Lynch will prob
ably work Seaton again, as he had
but two innings yesterday. Brinker
would have been up for the In
dams but he smashed his finger
and is on the shelf temporarily.
The fans who braved the chill
yesterday to get a line on Seattle
saw a rafting good game for their
trouble, and they deserved to see
the Indians win-but the Indians
didn't. They ought to hove won,
especially for Jensen's sake, for
that boy surely earned the game
and had It but for the fact that
somebody behind him threw It
away three or four times before
the II innings were finished.
The worst of these crimes was
committed by Burnett muffing a
fly any fielder ought to have
nailed. Another was when James
loafed around on a short right field
fly. When they saw that James
was asleep at the switch, Corners
and Weed tried for it, but the re-
suit was the three standing in a
ring with the ball on the ground
between them. Then, with two
men out, James snapped one to
Brown to catch a runner. The run
ner slid into Brown and the snap
was bad to handle, but Brown
ought to have got it. The import
ance of these instances is that an
out in any one of them would have
cinched the game for the Indians.
Another chance to win went

BANKS HAVING CITY
CASH To PUT UP
COLLATERAL
THIS Is LIKELY TO BE SETTLE
MENT OF WRANGLE OVER
PROPER BONDING OF DEPosl.
ToHiEs-Jov APPROVES PLAN.

The vexed question OF personal or
surety bonds for the city deposits
neld in various banks. came up to
trouble the ways ana means commit
tee again. Tuesday morning. Con
troller Doremus suggested remedy
for the trouble. and the agitation
which has been going on for nearly
year may be settled by new ordi'
nance which he will prepare and pre-
sent TO the committee soon. e.
To settle matters temporarily, the
Old Detroit Nationals personal bond
was accepted. with mercantile
agency report accompanying ii that
the signers are worth between 20 and
80 millions OF dollars. This bona,
like that recently accepted from the
American Exchange National bank,
runs only until the council takes d
decided stand on the entire bond ques'
ton.
Controller Doremus' ordinance will
provide that national banks holding
city deposits shall put up as collateral
sufficient amount OF securities TO
Offset any possible loss. This is the
plan suggested by President Richard
=. JOY, OF the National Bank Of Com
merce. Another plan will have to be
adopted with savings banks, because
OF the state banking laws. and 1t Is
likely that these will be required to
furnish surety company bonds.
Ii was only after considerable argu-
ment that any conclusion was reach
cd. City Treasurer Koch and Aid.
Heineman detailed their reason for
opposing personal bonds. the banks
having first secured a decrease from
2 l-2 TO = per cent on daily balances
because of the cost OF surety bonds
and now asking TO be relieved OF that
cost without raising their interest
rates again.
Aid. Allan and Thompson agreed
with Heneman and Koch, while Aid
Shapland and Tossy took up the cud
gels for the banks, and spirited
dialogue ensued.
I'VE are here for the city's interest
and no other" said Heineman.
I'VE are here for the same purpose.
retorted Aid. Shapland.
The committee turned down City
Accountant Grieser's request for ar
extra helper, telling him to put In ar
estimate for such man.
