mento, Eureka and other cities asking
the authorities to apprehend him. His
preliminary examination was to have

honest and hard working Italians in
America from their villainous fellow
countrymen of the Black Hand.
Grave fears are entertained even by

BIames Temperance Wave

According to Brown, the failure of
the bank was due to the prohibition
movement throughout the country.
Napa, county being one of the largest
wine growing centers in California.
There was between s1sO.OOO and $780,
600 on deposit. practically all of which
was loaned to wine growers
The temperance wave which was re-
sponsible for a large decrease in the
quantity of liquor sold throughout the
country resulted in the price of grapes
dropping from $50 to Sc per ton. The
growers, Brown asserts. were unable to
pay their loans. and the bank was
obliged to close its doors
Brown says. further. that there was
a shortage of about $4,000, of which
he has paid back $4,000 He denies
that there was any intention of wrong
doing on his part. He says that all
of the loans were made through the
board of directors, and that there is no
ground for holding him responsible for
the failure.
