BANK DEFAULTER
 IS UNDER WATCH
TREASURER MUIR OF THE PEO- PLIES IN NEW HAVEN SHY Sa3,O0O WHICH STOCK HOLDERS MADE
 GOOD.

l New Haven. Dec. 6.-That Robert D. Muir. who has been treasurer of the Peoples Bark and Trust company and who is charged with the dedication of s23.000 from that company is not out west as had been intimated but that he is right in this city at the present time and under the watch and guidance in connection with his ac- tiOG of the officials of the bank is the latest development in connection with the bank case. IL. was thought that Muir had left the city and that while 1t was known by the officials where he was that he was not actually here. It is said that he is showing readiness and willingness to do all in his power towards making restitution of the amount which was discovered missing and it appears rather unlikely that any action will be taken towards pros cutting him
 It is the belief that Muir will be able yet to make substantial resti- tuition of the S23.000 which the stock holders of the company have paid in to the bank to make up the shortage which was discovered in it's accounts. While the bank is untouched by the dedication on account of the pay ments made to its treasury by the stockholders the latter are anxious. naturally. to recover if possible the money they have been forced to put in- No attempt has been made by them however. to call the indemnity
  of the beliaf that 1t will be possible yet to recover the money.
 The bank changed hands on Satur- day when J. F.. Hubinger. the well known local man and a syndicate which he headed. purchased the con- tro! of the bank. It is stated that 1 most of the stockholders in the bank | are remaining in 1t under the new | but there will be a com | plete change of the officers. President | Henry G. Newton. Vice-President Fred | C. Boyd and Treasurer Robert D. Muir | all getting through with the bank. | New officers will be chosen within a | day or so and the hank will remain in operation just as before. There will | be no hitch at all in the work of the bank.
 The sale of the bank stock making the change in the control. was ef- fected after the dedication had been made~-good by the stock holders and the price of the stock was a few points above par. The l. stock ~of the bank has a par value of s1oO.
 The capital stock of the Peoples Bank and Trust company Is S1OO. .OO0 and 1t is said there is a movement on loot to increase this under. the new management.

MEDICAL MEN BIACKBALL
 DIR. DIEFENDORF OF YALE.

At the last meeting of the New Haven Medical association it was voted not to receive Allen Rose Dief- endorf. lecturer at the Yale Medical association. into membership of the association
 It has been stated that the reason for this action of the association was that Dr. Dlefendorf welcomed un- due newspaper explorations of the case of Van Osten. whom he treated Icy hypnosis at Grace hospital in an effort to restore the mans identity. Dr. DiefeEdorf. in explanation of the incident, says that he realized that he had been defeated by an organ ized movement of doctors hostile To him. and that his friends had not put up the strongest possible fight for him. He also expresses absolute confidence that he will be voted in at the next election.

POLLING NEW
 HAVEN ROAD
Movement Part of Plan to Secure Uu;.
 f0rmiiy of Wage Rate.

| New Haven. Dec. S.-It was a lively day in local railroad union labor cir
 cles yesterday in consequence of the
 arrival in New York of James Mur-
 dock. the fifth vice president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. to present their grievances to the fifty two railway companies in the east and To demand wage increase of 10 per
 cent. on very many of the eastern
 roads. Numerous labor men held
 meetings, in New Haven yesterday
 and were coming and going all day.
 All sorts of rumors regarding the
 peremptory strike on. the part of the
 trainmen were put forth, but in dig ging down to the bottom of the mat
 ter 1t was found that Mir. Murdock's mission and the activity of the local railroad union men are simply a part and parcel of the intention of all of the railroad employees east of the Mississippi river to create a uniform wage rate on all of the roads in this territory. based on the rate at pres ent being paid in the Chicago yards.
 This action has been determined up- on. and will be carried out. if organiz- ed labor can carry 1t out.
 In order 10 open the ball the train men will make the initial move. but all of the leading orders of railroad em- ployes are so bound together in the undertaking this time that all must pull together. In the old days, strike movements on the railroads have fallen down because of the detection of one body on another. Nothing of the sort will happen in this case. If the plans Of thoroughly organized labor do not wholly n,iscarry.
 The demands of the trainmen will be by those of the enginemen. the conductors and the firemen And the whole matter will be finally settled within 60 days-perhaps sooaer-at a final meeting to be held either in New York or Boston. There is no especial against the New Haven road in this matter, because this road stands high as a paymaster. but the New Haven workmen as we'll as those on other lines must act on approving this move in order to whip the more cheap y paying roads into line.
 Consequently these great orders are | now polling their respective roads to l get the sentiment of the men to sus- tain their national officers when their action is finally taken. All of these | orders were balloting yesterday on the | New Haven system following the ac- | ion of the firemen which is about | completed and which sustains the move on foot.

Notes Satisfy Japan
Asks That Promise Be Kept

Spurred by the press dispatches be-
tween the national capital and Sacra-
mento and alleging that powerful in
fiuences from washington and Toxic

members of the California legislature
in the interest of Asiatic aliens and
against the welfare of the citizens of

has addressed communication to Gov

The exclusion league denies the as
sertions that the Japanese are decreas-

cites reports of the commissioner gem
eral of immigration. Figures showing
an increase in the number of Japanese
admitted TO this country during the
months from May to October. 1908, in

in Banquet Speech

AUGUSTA, Ca, Jan. 20-Richmond
county, Ca, today modestly proclaimed
william III. Taft as it's own--that he
was resident of Augusta when the
presidential electors in the various
states declared him to be the president
elect; that as such he was Georgian
by birth and had lived where he was
born all of his presidential life.
Thousands of Augustans clinched
this claim with a shout of approval,
as Major J. c. Black said many other
complimentary things about Taft in
presenting him to the great mass meet
ing that had assembled around the
same stand from which President Me-
Kinley spoke.
A banquet was held tonight at The
Terrace. where Taft addressed the dis
tinguished men of Georgia and South
Carolina. The banquet was attended
by more than 200 men. the guests of
the Augusta chamber OF commerce. and
included John d. Rockefeller and Gov
ernor Ansel of South Carolina. Taft,
IN a speech, again voiced his good
feeling for the south.
