DUAL PERSONALITY
PUZZLES OFFICERS
Gabriel Strang, Alias George Sage, Is
Awaiting Sentence for Self
Confessed Crime in
Michigan

GRAND RAPIDS Mich, Jan. ga
puzzling dual personality has devel-
oped here in the case of a man who
says he is Gabriel Strang, son of
king Strang, the one time Mormon
ruler of the Beaver islands in upper
Lake Michigan. The police know the
man under the alias of George Sage,
who, they say, confessed to horse
stealing after being seriously wounded
in a running fight with officers near
White Pigeon, this state, January l.
Gabriel Strang, it appears, lived at
Ligonier, Ind, in his boyhood and
was known to be honest. Gabriel
Strang was honest; his friends say it
was George Sage who stole horses.
Both men lived in the same body.
Since Strang has been imprisoned
here it has become known that he is
the Charles Harris who several years
ago presented the Grand Rapids pub
lie library with a collection of rare
historical books once the property of
king Strang.
Investigators of his past have found
that he is the same man who, moved
by the ambition of a young girl who
was anxious to secure an education,
but whose family was unable to send
her to college, himself paid her ex-
penses through a normal school and
later through a college. This and many
other stories of Strang's kindness have
been substantiated.
In some way George Sage got the
better of Gabriel Strang and pulled
him into trouble and now Gabriel
Strang, capable business man, is await
ing sentence as a self-confessed horse
thief.

PAY ROLLS OF MINING
CONCERN AFFECTED BY
CLOSING OF 0AXACA BANK

OAXACA, Mexico, Jan. pa riot
occurred here today over the closing
of the branch of the United States
Banking company in this city. The
branch did not open this morning.
There is much excitement, as practi-
cally none of the mining companies
can meet it's pay rolls.
American business interests are seri-
ously handicapped, and almost every
American operator has been caught in
the crash Most of the pay rolls of
the company were forwarded today,
and this makes the situation doubly
serious. Manager Strong declares the
bank is solvent and will reopen within

stated by Huston, the cost ran up to
nearly $5,00O,O0O and that thousands of

MEXICAN BANK
FAILS TO OPEN
DIRECTORS DECIDE FOR A RE-
OWNERSHIP
Nice President Believes Embarrass-
ment Is Only Temporary, as There
Are Sufficient Funds to Pay
Obligations
Associated Pressl


MEXICO CITY, Jan. ga receiver
ship for the United States Banking
company was decided on at a meeting
of the directors this afternoon, after
the institution had failed to open its
doors for business today.
The suspension was a bitter disap-
pointment to scores of depositors who
had determined to withdraw their
funds and had gathered early to do
so.
Mr.. Elsasser, vice president of the
bank, said the action of the directors
was taken because the bank did not
have enough money on hand to reim-
burse the clearing house for yester-
days business.
believed that the hank had more
than enough assets to pay every legit-
innate obligation. He added:
I'VE are considering plans for re-
organization under another presidency
and believe that our embarrassment
viii be only temporary"
Mr.. Elsasser said that a receiver for
the bank would be appointed tomorrow.
Gossip placed the amount of with
drawals in the run from two to three
million pesos. or approximately $1,000
900 to $1,500,000.
The bank statement on January l
gave the OepOSllS as o,SUOtVVV pCoOS "
81, $50, 000 Most of the stock is said
to have been held by residents OF
Mexico.
The directors disclaim previous
knowledge of operations that involved
the bank in the present difficulties.
The method by which money was OBJ"
tanned by the Mexican National Pack
ing company was said to have been
what is known in banking circles as
the exiting" of drafts on London.
Operations in the nature of exchange
were not reported to the directors as
were loans.
President Ham Ill
President Ham is still at a SAM
tarium tonight. He is said to be on
the verge of nervous prostration.
John w. Dekay, president of the
Mexican National Packing company, is
thought to be in London.
Branches of the U.-ited States Bank
ing company in Oaxaca and Parral also
suspended today.
The direct cause of the suspension
was the extending of too large line
of credit to the Mexican National
Packing company. Drafts aggregating
more than 1900, 900 pesos owed by this
firm went to protest last week.
