MONROE BANK OFFICIALS ARRESIED
Charged With Making False State
ments and Receiving Deposits.

Charged With Making False State
ments and Receiving Deposits.
Monroe.-State Bank Examiner ".
L. Young swore affidavits against
officials of the Bank of Monroe,
which recently closed its doors, charS-
ing them with making false state
ments concerning the banks condl-
ton, receiving deposits after they
knew the bank was insOlvent and with
contracting a debt when they knew
the bank was in failing condition.
The receivers swore to an attldaVlV
charging c. S. Marsh of St. Louis
with conspiracy. Marsh is secretary
of the Bankers Trust Company OF
st. Louis. The charge against MIN
it is alleged, grew out OF a receh'
! transaction, in which $4,000 OF col
lateral held by the Bank OF Monroe
was transferred to the st. Louis con
Germ for a loan of $4,000. The BAN
here closed right after this transa(
ton. The Bank of Monroe owes az
positors about 100000 and othe
banks about $4,000. The Banker
; Trust Company owns 81 per cent
| the stock of the closed bank.

he said. well. / hate myself to use a

and, since you've been SO good as to in

my suggestion, won't you? / didn't
know the drive was connected with

He turned with elaborate nonchal-
ance, almost feeling Henry Cartoons
searching glance follow him; and once,
half way up the drive. ne chuckled to
himself, as if in his mind he felt per-
fectly satisfied with the result of the
little encounter of words.
AS he mounted the piazza steps, from
the coy corner hidden far back among
the ivy, Rose Carleton and Vaughan
advanced a little consciously to meet
him. Very possibly, from a certain
tumbled look about her pretty curls
and a flush in her cheeks suspiciously
bright, he felt that he might nave lone
well to enter the house from the side
door. Yet, If he had proved an inter-
rupter, she readily enough forgave him,
coming forward with hands out
stretched and kissing him affection
ately, first on one cheek n then on
the other. "Well Cousin Jack" she
cried, its seemed SO long. Welcome

Rose Cartoons face flushed, but not
at all with anger. She held up an adj

at such a thing" and then suddenly
shifting the attack, and what's made
you such a judge of kisses, anyway?
We're they experts out where you've
been? l think you ought to explain, at
least"
Carleton laughed. "Never mind,
never mind" he said, ''we'n change the
subject at once; I'm getting embar-
raised, but seriously, my dear, | wish
you two people all the luck in the
world. Nothing could please me better;
you can be sure of that; but I'm not
going to stay here and say nice things
about you; I'll warrant you do enough
of that yourselves to make you as

calling down; | know that much from
old times" and with a friendly wave Of
his hand by way of parting benedictlon,
he took his departure for his room.
To an outsider it might have seemed
that the company assembled for din
ner was a somewhat curiously assort-
ed one; yet the dinner itself, thanks to
the efforts Of the dark, observant man
who presided at the head of the table,
could hardly have been more
successful. Tact-always tact-and
II little things even more than in great,
this was the feature that distinguished
Henry Cartoons discharge of his du-
ties as host. And once well under way,
there was little reason, indeed, why the
occasion should not have been a sue
cess. The meal was one for an epicure.
deliciously cooked and faultlessly
served, and with a quality n variety
in the liquids which accompanied it,
sufficient to satisfy even Cummings
himself. Fortunate, indeed, it seemed,
thai Jack Carleton took nothing at all,
and that Henry Carleton and Vaughan
drank sparingly, for Cummings ca
pacity was frankly enormous Con
stantly his red face grew redder and
redder, m his conversation became
every moment more and more monopo-
listic; yet Henry Carleton, with the
courtesy OF the host, seemed to pay no
heed, and if there was any conflict be-
tween the laws of temperance and those
of hospitality. the star of the latter
seemed to be in the ascendant, for the
