Dr. Wm. J. Lang has evidently read with care the reports of the many Kills made in Africa by Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt, and has given full credit to them. He says:
 l. As there are no reporters with MT. Roosevelt, these reports of frequent killings must come chiefly from him self, and are such as he himself choos- es to send out. If they are true, they are exactly in line with his previous record. They prove what I said two years ago, quoting from his own books that he is a game butcher pure and simple, and that his interest in ami ma1s lies chiefly in the direction of blood and butehery.
 On the other hand, the Review of Reviews does not credit these reports. It says:
 All newspaper men know that the lurfd tales which have been daily served up,-and which have chronicled with much detail the slaughtering of countless lions. tigers, rhinos, hippos, and other beasts, of both sexes and all ages,-are sheer inventions. Never were fakes more transparent or more impudent
 The Farmer has heretofore expressed doubt of these reports, unless the ami ma1s had been herded upon a ranch in readiness for slaughter by the re- doubtable American Nimrod.

Scarcity of cattle is the reason given for the advance in the prices of meats Once or twice a year, ad- vances are made and the reason given isz always the same. The results of a monopoly in the production of leather being practically granted to the Beef Trust by Congress. and then of the Obtafnment of control of the shoe manufacturing industry by that trust, may be judged by the manner in which it handles it's monopoly of the trade in meats.

JAPANESE BANK In
OGDEN SUSPENDED
STATES EXAMINER CLOSES
INSTITUTE
Condition of Concerns at San Franz
cisco and Los Angeles Alleged
to Justify Action Taken
in Utah

OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 19.-The local
American bank Is in the
hands of the state bank examiner. The
closing of the institution today caused
excitement among the Japanese depos-
itors, and at one time so large CROWD
gathered at the bank entrance thai
Deputy Sheriff Hutchins was called to
disperse 1t.
The officers of the bank hurriedly got
together and discussed the situation
the result being that they asked per-
mission of the bank examiner to place
the following notice upon the door: d,
''This bank is temporarily closed
The same is due to the closing by thC
California state banking superintendent
on october IS, 1909, of the main banE
at san Francisco and the branch banH
at Los Angeles.
The local Japanese association de-
sires it to be known that the closing
of the local bank is not due to insol-
vency, but because of the condition OF
the bank at San Francisco.
State Bank Examiner Glazier today
said he is of the opinion the bank is
solvent, but he cannot give definite IN
formation until he has had time &c
overhaul the books.

FOOTBALL PLAYER is
CRITICALLY INJURED
OLIVER LANNON OF PUEBLO,
COLO, MAY DIE
Youth Hurt in Game Between UniVer-
sity of Southern California
and Pomona Not Expected
to Live

It was given out at the Clara Barton
hospital last evening that Oliver Ian
non, preparatory school student who
was injured in a football game at Po-
mona Saturday, probably sustained
broken back and serious internal IN
juries, and is in an extremely critical
condition.
Lannon was injured in a match be-
tween the teams of the University of
Southern California academy, Of
which he is a student, and the Po-
mona college preparatory school, He
was quickly sent to the Clara Barton
hospital after the game, but 1t was not
known until yesterday that his injuries
were serious.
The injured youth, who lived with
his brother-in-law, DR.. e. S. Merrill,
at 1868 Harvard boulevard, came to
Los Angeles a month ago from Pueblo,
Colo, where he was star player on the
football team of the Centennial high
school.
The accident occurred in the second
half, when Lannon was sent into the
game, having been on the side lines
during the first half. He was playing
halfback and was tackled and thrown
heavily on the first run which he
attempted to make When the scrtm-
mage cleared he was found lying in
a dazed condition and was taken from
the field. 1t was not known until yes
terday he was taken to the Clara
Barton hospital, and but little could be
learned of his condition other than
that his injuries are so serious his re-
covery is doubtful.
This is the first catastrophe in the
American game of football for this
season in the south. In the Rugby
game no injuries have as yet been re
ported.

"A treasured one from US has gone;
A voice we loved is still;
place is vacant in our home
Which no one else can fill"
Hoover put the mourning card back
on the mantelpiece, dashed several
tablespoonfuls of water into the face
