SCHOOLS AGAIN
OPEN IN V|N|TA
Many Changes Made in City Schools
Since Close of Last Semester
Now in Fine Condition.

After a vacation of three months
the public schools of the city were
again opened this morning, and an
army of ruddy-faced school children
swarmed the streets on their way to
school.
The first day was largely given over
to classification of the students and to
the assignment of lessons by the teach
ers. This morning the classification
occurred ard the students are turned
loose 90 go get the necessary books
for the years work. This afternoon
the lessons we're assigned and tomor-
row actual school work will again be
on as before the vacation.
Many changes have been made in
the schools since the close of the last
semester. The high school has been
removed from the public school build
ings to the old Willie Halsell college
building in the north part of town.
This gave room for all of the grades
in the two city buildings without the
use of the third story of the brick
building, that caused the parents so
much worry on account of fire last
winter.
The prospect for fine year in the
city schools was never SO good before.
A splendid corps Of teachers has been
employed and the schools of Vinita
will be the equal of the best public
schools in the country.
The Sacred Heart Institute, the only
sectarian school in the city opened
last Monday and is now deep in the
school work.

SHORTAGE
CAUSED HIS DEATH
President Of Abilene State Bank Dies
in Handsome Home Built BY the
nefanltiss Cashier.
BY associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Abilene, Kans., Sept. 12.-After Iy-
ing unconscious in the handsome
home built by the defaulting cashier,
John A. Flack. for forty-eight hours,
I. s. Hallam, 67 years old president
of the Abilene State bank, died Sun
day evening at o'clock. He had gone
to the house to assist an aunt of
Flack's to get some family posses
sions, and collapsed. He had passed
sleepless nights since the discovery Of
the defalcation and in his feeble
health he could not stand the blow.
Mr.. Hallam was lumber dealer
here for years and had made a COM
Portable fortune, which he invested in
the bank, of which he owned con-
trolling interest. He was also presi-
dent of the Abilene Wholesale Grocery
company, in which he had large in
terest. One daughter, Mrs. J. W. Par
ker Of Kansas City, and his wife are
the only heirs.
Before his collapse Mr.. Hallam had
signed contract, in which, with the
other directors, he pledged all his
property to the payment of any short
age that might result In the settle
men Of Flack's defalcation However,
his death complicates things material
ly. Deputy Bank Commissioner Wat
son, who is In charge, went home Sat
|urday night, but is expected here this
morning.
The bank has been open all week,
but Saturday ceased receiving de-
posits, and It is probable that it's af-
fairs will be wound up. Bank Com
missioner Dolly desires to do this
without receivership, and it may be
that such will be the outcome, but that
will be decided tomorrow when Mr..
Watson returns.
The bank has about $150,000 de-
posits, and i will take $4,000 from
the directors to make good the short
age. The other stockholders, who
have $4,000 stock, HalIam owning a
little more than half, win probably REL
alize nothing. Nothing has yet been
heard from Flack.
Abilene, Kans., Sept. II ~ Deputy
Bank Commissioner Watson, who ar
rived here today to investigate the af-
fairs Of the Abilene State bank, whose
cashier Is missing, countermanded the
plan OF the directors to close the bank
at once, and announced that the bank
would be closed until after the funeral
|of e. J. Hallam, the banks president,
who died yesterday. The funeral prob
ably will be held Wednesday.
