M. II. FLINT MAY
RESIGN OFFICE
AS POSTMASTER
WORK AS BANKER BECOMES
MORE ARDU0US
SAYS is CONSIDERING QUITTING
FEDERAL JOB
As Vice President of Big Financial In
sttuton He Thinks He Has
Too Many Duties for
One Man

owing to the increased amount of
work connected with his position as
vice president of the Los Angeles Bank
and Trust company, Motley H. Flint
postmaster of Los Angeles, is consid-
ering resigning his position and devot-
ing his entire time to the banks af-
fairs.
Since December of last year when the
METROPOLITAN Bank and Trust company
was consolidated with the Los An
geles Bank and Trust company, the
banks business has nearly doubled
and consequently required more of Mr..
Flint's time as an official of the in
stitution.
Mr.. Flint, in speaking of resigning
from his government position, SAID,
Both the bank and the postottice are
large institutions and require great
deal of my time. The banks business
is greatly enlarged and the same is
true of the postotfice. If I retain them
both 1 would feel as though 1 would
have to shirk the duties of one or the
other. and that l will not do. If l
cannot give each position the personal
attention which it deserves, l Will give
up one of them, and If that is found
necessary, the postoffice will be the
one. The matter needs careful con-
sideration before being acted upon and
[ intend to consider it very carefully
before handing in my resignation.
"If I find that I can devote all the
time which the two positions require
of me, l will not resign, but if l ind
that [ am not doing my duties in one
or the other I will certainly resign.

BANKS SUSPENSION
SURPRISE TO MANY
Institution Closes at Evansville, Ind,
but Depositors Expect to Be
Paid in FuII-Loans De-
cIared Weak

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 17.-An-
nouncement today that the Citizens
National bank would be suspended
temporarily pending an investigation
into the affairs by National Bank In
spector ]. C. Johnson of Indianapolis,
astonished thousands who had implicit
confidence in the institution.
Two plain statements of the eXami-
ner made in advance of the opening
today, served somewhat to allay alarm
and there, was no demonstration
around the bank doors by depositors.
The 81, 100000 or private money in
the bank included large commercial
deposits besides probably as many
small accounts as any national bank
in the city.
Examiner johnson said he was un-
prepared to give data on the condi-
tion of the bank, but he hoped condi-
tions would be such that the deposl-
tors could be paid in full.
This same hope is offered in the
brief notice posted by the directors
on the bank doors. 1t is known that
out of the $1,200000 outstanding in
loans there is a considerable proper
ton of credit that is weak, but just
how much is a question.
Individual loans in excess of $50,0 900
caused the first suspicion of the eX-
aminer. 1t is said th2t President 5. c.
Gillett has borrowed to that extent,
but he has made over personal prop
erty to indemnity the bank So far as
known there is nothing criminal in
the alleged mismanagemen of the in
stitution.

NOVEL HAT STORE
OPENS ON Sd ST.
Ye Hattery, a Distinct Novelty.
Promises to Be a Sight

Los Angeles now has one of the most
novel retail hat stores in the world.
The location is PIG West Third street
The interior finishing represents a
street in an old English town. As you
enter a brick sidewalk or roadway is
beneath your feet and away up in a
tower you hear the chimes of the town
clock. Way beyond the street
stretches a fair open country, but still
you linger. Perhaps you go out again,
but you are still in the street, and on
either SIDE of the doorway you have
lust left the low roofs of tasteful bun
galows peer down. a glance up and
over these roofs or the doorway you
see in great letters of gold, Eye Hat

The street is lighted by soft electric
lights above the cottage doors and
YOU jump and pinch yourself for in
behind the bulging bay windows, with
their latticed panes, are rows and
rows of hats-hats Of the latest shape,
hats for the conservative dresser, hats
for the man who is artistic, hats for
the man who wants one for every
suit. hats for the plain, everyday male,
who is glad if he has one. AS you go
on down the street you notice that
each little house on either side is filled
with hats and you stop and TASK the
man." who is about to pull the latch
string in a door which turns out to be
a mirror.
You realize at once that you are
seeing the most novel thing in Los
Angeles. We Hattery, just opened by
L. H. Lippman lately in the same
business in old New York. He has the
latest thing in stores and hats and
away down at the end of the store
street is a factory where one may have
any sort of hat made up that he
wishes. As you go out you pass n
tiny house from where the proprietor
bows at you pleasantly. outside the
door you see that the bungalow fronts
on either side are in the windows and
the open country stretches away from
them also. There is a carnival Of hats
here, too. Then you go and tell your
friends to see the novel street of hats.
The interior design of Ye Hattery was
accomplished by Alexander and

LAND FRAUD JURY
FAILS TO AGREE
SEVEN HOURS PASSED TRYING
TO REACH VERDICT
TWELVE MEN LOCKED UP FOR
THE NIGHT
Defense and Prosecution Disappointed
at Failure to Arrive at an
Early Agree
ment

After celebrating for seven hours
the Jury in the Imperial valley Iand
fraud cases in the United states DIS
trict court against Frank \. Chaplln
David II. Chaplin and Paul II. McPher-
rim. charged with defrauding the gov
ernment of desert lands, were locked
up at II o'clock last night, having
failed to reach an early verdict. DIS
appointed, the little group of attorneys
and friends of the prosecution and de-
fense. who had waited for hours With
in the shadow of the jury room doors,
left for their homes. The three de-
PENDANTS left the federal court room
late in the afternoon and were notified
over the telephone by the attorneys OF
the iury's failure to reach an early
verdict
Judge Wellborn, who has presided in
the case. completed his instructions to
the jury at $3.50 o'clock yesterday AFT
ernoon, after spending the greater por-
ton of the morning in a review OF the
146 instructions with the attorneys in
the case, during which time the jury
was excused In the afternoon after
thev had been charged by Judge Well
born they retired to the jury room,
where they remained up to IL o'clock
last night without reaching a verdict
The three defendants during the aft
ernoon were surrounded by their fam
lilies and friends, who took great inter-
est in the proceedings. The strain un-
der which the two Chaplin brothers,
who have been on trial for four
months, was more than evident yes
terday, although they look forward to
a verdict that will free them from the
charge of defrauding the government.
McPherrin, on the contrary, appeared
cool and undisturbed.
The Imperial valley land fraud cases
have occupied the attention of the fed
eral court since September and have
cost more than 100000 More than 100
witnesses have been summoned by both
the prosecution and the defense. AS
sstant Attorney General LaWler, head
of the department of the interior, in
stigated an investigation in July, 1907
that later led to the indictment of many
persons by the federal grand jury for
alleged conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment of desert lands in the Imperial
valley. David H. Chaplin, Frank N
Chaplin and Paul H. McPherrin were
among these.
Their trial began in September, 1908
with United States District Attorney
Mccormick heading the prosecution. He
was taken sick, and Mr.. LaWler was
called from Washington. Against great
odds. he took up the prosecution, and
on the eve of the closing arguments
when one of his right-hand men, H. M
Willis of McCormick's office, was taken
sick, Lawler fought the case single
handed and alone against an imposing
array of legal talent on the side of the
defense. The attorneys for the defense
were Meserve, Davis, Rush, Eshelman
Valentine and Ward. The trial has beer
delayed many times through the illness
of one of the defendants, Frank N
Chapman, due, it is said, to the nervous
strain under which he was laboring.

Club News

CURRENT EVENTS was discussed
from the Ebeil platform yesterday
~ by Mrs. Lou V, Chaplin, who gave
one of the interesting programs of the
month.
Trusts, the methods employed and re-
suits to the nation and the individual,
was the first topic considered. The ma
tional food trusts received especial at
tention, and hOusekeepers We're advised
to band together against them.
Pinchot and the principals of the
conservation of national resources pre-
ceded the postOffice deficit. This def
cit the speaker declared to be wholly
unnecessary and easily adjusted by the
railroads being made to haul mail on
the same terms as they do express
matter. There should be a literary
pure food law for newspapers and mag
azines, she asserted, the people now
paying for the news and getting most
ly advertising and buying magazines in
which there are fifteen pages of read
ing matter and $50 pages of advertis-
ing.
Affairs in Belgium, the English cleo
tion and the island of Crete furnished
the foreign affairs topics.
