sioncr Of internal revenue, were also
present. Later the party was joined by
Attorney General Wickcrsham and Sen
ator Root,
The house provided that the internal
revenue tax Of q cents n pound. levied
upon manufacturers for the sale of leaf
tobacco. should not be made applicable
TO farmers who sold unstcmmcd tobacco
of their own raising. The objection to
this was that it would open the way to
fraud, and the senate adopted a pro
vision which was intended TO prevent
the loss to the government of any rcvc-
nue. which 1T was intended should be
collected by compelling the farmer to
furnish record of each sale.
The president is especially dcsirous
that II portion OF the revenue which Is
needed by the government should be
raised by additional internal revenue on
tobacco.
Senator aildrich and Representative

SUICIDE C0INCIDENT
WITH CLOSING OF BANK

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17-Pending
an investigation of affairs, the doors
of the Union State bauk and the State
Saving and Commercial bank of this
city, two small institutions which have
been doing business together for some
time, though not legally merged, were
ordered closed by State Superintendent
Of Banks Alden Anderson today. Coin
cident with the making of this order
word was received from Larkspur that
William Won Meyer Linck, acting pay
ing teller of the combined banks, com
mitted suicide in his home last night
by shooting himself through the head.
Mr. Anderson states. however, that the
death of Won Meyerlinck had nothing to
do with the closing of the banks, Their
affairs arc apparently so badly en-
tangled that he said he deemed it un-
wise TO allow them to continue bust
ness until an investigation had been
made
",Thcre are several discrepancies
which were revealed by our hasty ex.
animation said Mr.. Anderson. "We
have no Official knowledge of the merg-
ing of the institutions and we find that
there are only copies of notes covering
large loans on real estate. Until we
find out where the notes are and what
they represent we will be unable to say
what the condition OF the banks really
is.
The Union State bank failed to com
ply with a recent call for its condition
and the cursory examination which fol.
lowed led to the closing order today. It
appears that the deposits of the Union
State bank which were taken over by
the State Savings and Commercial bring
the joint deposits up to little more than
$50, 900. The resources and liabilities
of the commercial department of the
State Savings and Commercial are said
to show balance of 1923 sos.
The officers of the banks decline TO
make any statement regarding Won
accounts.

$4,000 In CLOTHES OF
POOR" DEAD MINER
His other Holdings Discovered Later to
Have a Value of Half a
Million.

Danville, Ill, March 22.--Tt has been
revealed that Daniel Sheridan, aged six
ty-three, coal miner Of this city, who
died few days ago apparently in pow
erty, was in reality man of wealth,
his property holdings now being esti-
mated at more than 100000.
The discovery was made when nurse
at Lakeview hospital few hours after
sheridan's death prepared to burn his
clothing Feeling something like paper
in a vest, she began an investigation,
which resulted in finding $4,000 in bills
in the vest and coat. Many Of the bills
we're gold certificates Of $50 and sloo de-
nominations, and were badly faded.
A further investigation revealed the
fact that the dead man was the owner
OF 200-acre farm near Worthington,
Ind, and a 600-acre farm near Cissna
Park, H., the latter piece Of ground
being worth Sl75 an acre. 1t was also
learned that Shefidan's relatives were
MI wealthy, a brother. George, who died
in central Illinois three years ago, being
worth s2,200,000.
Notwithstanding the fact that he had
lived in humble quarters over a saloon
on East Main street, this city, Sheridan
was given a magnificent burial, 81 500
being expended for the handmade cas-
lSet in which he was buried and $500 for
his burial clothing.
While not at work in the mines Sheri-
dan had lived a life OF recluse ana
nothing was known concerning his past
history until after his death. Robert
Lynch, wealthy cousin, who came here
from Monroyia, Cal, to attend the funar-
al, said that Sheridan had left home thir-
ty years ago because OF an unhappy love
affair and that nothing had been known
Of his whereabouts until word was re.
eeived of his death.
