DOESN'T FAVOR THE USE
OF THE MAXIM SILENCER

Buffalo.-The new Maxim gun sill
encer will not be used in Buffalo if
Superintendent Regan can prevent it..
The great possibilities for the COM
mission of crime by use of the device
have profoundly impressed the super
intendent and he intends to have some
law enacted that will forbid its COM
mon use. This new gun silencer,"
says he, may be a mighty clever
thing, but its use by hold-up men
and burglars would be a great men,
ance to the public With the gun
silencer, a crook could shoot down
citizen, and although policemtn
might be within block of the scene
of the crime he would be none the
wiser until he ran across the body of
the victim. The loud report attend
ing the firing of revolver today does
great deal to prevent its common
use Iby housebreakers and highway
men"

holders of the First national bank
held here this afterniin, the capita
stock of the bank was increased by
500 shares. All of this new stock
goes to G. NJ. Rice, cashier of the

The action taken today is of much
importance, according to stockhold-
ers of the bank, for a number of rea-
sons. The securing of the new stock
by Mr.. Rice makes him the second
largest stockholder of the Institution
and it means that his connection with
the bank and with Pendleton will be
permanent.
Five years ago Mr.. Rice came to
this city to take charge of the First
national bank and his record as cash.
ier is one of which his friends and
business associates are proud. Dur
ing the time he has been in charge
of the bank the deposits have in
creased by a million dollars, a show
ing that is considered remarkable.
In addition to providing Mr.. Rice
with additional stock the action TAX
ell today also increased the working
capital Of the bank. In the past the
capital stock was 100000. 1t will
now be s25O,OOO which together with
$150,O0O in surplus and undivided
profits makes the WORKING canitol
100000. This increase in capital
still further strengthens the bank
which was already one of the strong
est in eastern oregon and has been
one of Pendleton's financial strong
holds for many years.

Mr.. MacVeagh today addressed the
following letter to the principal Off
GERS of the treasury department.:
"The president wishes the treasury
department, as well as the other de-
partments of the government. to take
immediate measures to consider the
question of such economies in expen-
diture as may be found by the most
competent study to be feasible.
ut IS intended to make the esti-
mates of expenditures for the next
and future years with the greatest
care.
at is the intention that the esti-
mates of the different departments
shall hereafter be submitted to the
cabinet; and that they shall be con-
sidered as a whole and in connection
with the treasury estimates of the
probable income.
There is clearly a new disposition.
not only in the executive government
but in congress, toward such cons'd-
GRAFTON and study of the government
expenditures as will bring about a re-
sponsible relationship between the ex-
penditures and the revenue"
