Receiver Bates Holds Five
Directors to Blame,
Negligent in Care Of Bank
Wrecked by Coleman.
Asks Courts to Collect $4,000
Deficit from Them.

BOSTON, Nov. 3.-There is a $4,000
a.fcit in the funds of the National
5,tv Bank of Cambridge, caused by the
dedication of it's bookkeeper, George
". Coleman, which Receiver John l..
pates has asked the United States
courts to collect from five directors,
IN the ground that they were negligent
in the discharge of their duties.
The controller of the currency finds
that two other directors, Charles G.
Bancroft and Josiah II. Goddard, came
to the bank just before it's failure ana
had no opportunity to examine the ac-
counts and are therefore not liable.
A ILL in equity was filed in the or
cult court today praying that tine

The bank closed its doors on Feb.
o. with Coleman missing. He reap
peared week later and after SEN
satonal trial last spring was sent to
lail for Il years.
Receiver Bates finds, according ia
the bill in equity. the directors for the
two years preceding the defalcation
utterly neglected to examine the &C
counts of the bank and made no effort
to investigate the shrinkage in depos-
ITS For this alleged gross negligence,
the receiver asks the court to order an
inquiry and an accounting as to the
losses.
Receiver Bates stated today that he
had paid 30 per cent. of the amount
due the depOsitors from the assets OF
the bank and the assessment on the
stockholders.
From what he could learn this is the
first case under the banking act where
an effort is being made to recover from
the officers of the bank for the illegal
acts of subordinates, and will act as q
precedent. In other bank failures, some
director or officer of the bank has beer
usually involved in the defalcati0nS.

Meyer Thinks Cuantan amo
Enough for Panama.
Says Il Could Be Perfected
with Small Expense.
No Foundation for Rumor Of An
nexatlon Possibility.

Caimanera. Cuba, Nov. 3.-George
Won l.. Meyer, the American secre-
tary of the navy, is homeward bound
today having completed 4 1910 mile
tour OF the Pacific and Gulf naval
stations. He plans to be at Hamilton.
Mass, in time to vote next Tuesday.
The secretary sailed last evening on
the United States despatch boat
Dolphin. after making an inspection
of the naval station at Guantanamo.
Mr.. Meyer is convinced as re-
suit Of his observations that Guantan-
amo occupies the only commanding
site as ii naval base essentially aux
Hilary to the defense of the Panama
canal. The bay is perfectly defensi-
bic, capable of containing a fleet Of
any size and possesses all of the re-
quirements of first-class naval base
that might be established without
great expense.
The secretary found that the first
step necessary is the consolidation OF
the various departments existing az
the station which, at present, are too
scattered for effective cooperation.
He inspected the drydocks, the con-
struction Of which was begun some
lll!e dSo, tIt IS uHCSIIOIIl WuCtlca
it would be advisable to transfer the
drydocl to new site which is bet
ter protected and near which it
would be practical to place in ad-
dition two floating docks now in the
possession of the government, with
but small expense for necessary
dredging.
Secretary Meyer believes that the
cost Of re-organizing the Guantanamo
station would be small, as the gov
eminent now owns the greater part
Of the land required for new machine
shops and other works. He said that
he was firmly convinced that only
one naval base was necessary to Sc
cure control of the Caribbean Sea and
the Gulf of Mexico, with minor
auxiliary station at some point to be
determined in the future.
Through an agreement with the Re-
public of Cuba, the United States
holds certain tracts on the island for
use as naval stations. One Is at
Guantanamo Bay in the province OF
Santiago, ir the southeastern part OF
the island, a point from which
naval force could guard the Windward
channel between Cuba and Hayd;
and the other is at, Bahia Hondo. 81
miles west of Havana, location
commanding both the Florida straits
and the Yucatan channel. The naval
station at Guantanamo and the re-
serve at Bahia HondO each has an
area Of % square miles. The United
States holds jurisdiction over these
tracts so far as the residents are con-
cerned. but the sovereignty remains
with Cuba and no business can De
carried IN through private enterprise.

MARDT GRAS.

Shreveport has inaugurated a Mardi
Gras celebration which may be devel-
oped in an annual carnival. As already
remarked, Shreveport could never aspire
to give such demonstrations for which
New Orleans is famed the world over,
but, in time its Mardi Gras or Carnival
festivities would command special at
tention and thousands of people who
could not enjoy the luxury of a trip to
New Orleans could come to Shreveport
and revel in the sights.
1t is we'll that there is a beginning at
the Mardi Gras celebration in Shreve-
port, which is to be on an extended
scale. Such demonstrations annually
should be encouraged, but there must be
observed certain fixed limit of discre-
ton, which it is unnecessary to suggest
to the gentlemen who have assumed
charge in the management of the Mardi
Gras celebration next Tuesday.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PHILOSO
pHY

(Lottie Ate Weir in N. o. States).
Here's a bit of genuine philosophy
from woman, and when woman be.
comes philisophic, it behooves all she
folks to sit UP AMI pay attention.
Miss Joyce Denner is an accountant
at 500 per year; also cousin to an &C
tress who draws $4,000 or SO per year
and Joyce says:
Il had rather be in my own shoes
than any actresses in the world. Every
small enjoyment that comes my way ]
appreciate. Why to me theater party
or dinner means all kinds of nice
things to anticipate, while, my actress
cousin, would be awfully bored.
why ! have the loviiest kind of a
time wearing my two or three party
frocks, just because I have SO few, |
suppose"
Right, little lady, right! The things
that cost little in thought or effort are
really worth while. The very rich who
have everything handed to them havn't
the capacity to appreciate and enjoy
and there is nothing that does not soon
"awfully bore" them Dinners, theatre
parties, fine raiment become common
and pail on them
In automobile, yachts, jewelry and
other luxuries, the only diversion is in
having such things that cost a little bit
more than some other high splurger's,
and to be without any perspective posi-
tive necessity to get out and hustle for
anything that one wants is a curse.
We don't speak from experience, but
we've seen the rich and the children
grunting, groaning and going wrong
in the pursuit of what is called happi-
ness.
Take girl, like Joyce, who has to
work for a theatre ticket or a party
dress, and you can bet she will get all
the pleasure out of good play and
all the delight out of a new princess
cut bias or thereabouts. She has earn
ed that ticket and that dress, conse-
quently knows their real worth and has
the capacity to enjoy She feels that
she has created something that is hers
as against all the world, and the woman
or man who lacks capacity or opportrn-
ity to enjoy such justifable pride mis-
ses a whole lot
Joyce's feet may not fit her cousins
artistic shoes, but she is sure got" the
actresses philosophy beaten by a thous-
and years

Some excitement was caused this

wells on A. F. Powel1s land had come
into service as several hundred barrel
producer, having been blown out with
high gas pressure, Naturally, reports
were exaggerated, bit it is fact that
the well has been greatly improved, and
now Vivian has in one mills of the cen
ter of town a good payer" while other
money-making wells are numerous in
the vicinity
The R. H. Harrell No. I is classed as
good we'll 1t is a mile from town.
S. P. Harrell is reported to have
some fine gassers on his land.
Orders for the new equipment for the
machine shop at Vivian have been
placed at St. Louis. Work will progress
until the plant is completed
The CayceBrown we'll on Pine
Island has increase dfrom a 2oo-barrel
well to production of about 1900 bar
rels daily.
Savage Brothers, the leading wild
caters of the South, are said to have
struck oil near Little Rivar, Arkansas.
The impression has gone abroad that
no oil, only gas, is being found in the
Vivian field. Nothing is further from
the facts. The Chiles wells, the Black
burn, Powell, Edwards and Harrell
wells are all oil producers, and none are
more than mile and a half from Wv
ian. 1t is true, however, that the Wv
ian field is the greatest gas field in the
world.

RIVERS AND HARBORS


Washington, Feb AT the request
OF President Taft the members of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee of the
House are cutting the allowances they
haye already made for the various pro-
JectS so as to keep the total within
$3o,ooO,O 900. As they had the bi1r blocked
out the total was to have been close to
$4O,OOo,ooO, if not slightly in excess of
that amount.
The request for a reduction is taken
to mean that, if a bill carrying a total
of the amount indicated is passed, there
is not the least probability of a veto,
such as has been talked about. 1t is
also taken to mean that the gray heads
of the Senate, who have been saying
that there could be no rivers and har-
borS bill, will be pushed aside by those
who believe that public sentiment de-
mands an annual bill for the mainten-
ance and further Improvement of the
waterways of the country.
The aim of the committee will be to
make proportionate reductions in all
items. That is, if the allowance for
Southwest Pass and adjacent work, as.
tentatively fixed, say, at 100000, the
reduction will be to about $4,000, and
the allowance of 100000 for the Mis-
sissippi river will be 100000. The
committeeman are not averse to making
some cuts, although they have exercised
great care in laying out the money they
think should be spent on rivers and har-
bors, because they are so deeply inter
ested in getting the new order of annual
appropriations, time limit on specific
projects and freeing of water fronts
inaugurated
The new order of things, as a matter
of fact, is the vital part of the measure
that has been in the process of forma-
ton for more than a month. The money
allowances are really secondary. Short |
age in cash will be more than compen-
stated by Inauguration of what is gener-
ally believed to be much better way
of dealing with the large question of
waterways. They do not, of course, rel
ish making reductions, but rather than
to have no bill at all, they will make
them
Representative Ransde1I learned to-
day that the Board of Review of the
Corps has made a favor
able report on the Morgan ship channel
project based upon the facts laid before
it by Colonel Beach in his report. 1t
is therefore incumbent upon him to try
for the half-million called for by it.
