District Attorney Wise decided 10

the preliminary hearing OF The nine
prisoners which was scheduled to be
heard by Commissioner Gilchrist to-
morrow afternoon If there was a
hearing the government would have
TO show its hand; 1T least display

the defense a chance to combat that
evidence. So to avoid having a

number of young girl clerks from
F7agg's office appeared before the
grand jury. The most important
witness, Madeline Russo, did not APP
pear. She teleBhoned that she would
appear With bondsman tomorrow at
the Federal building and would give
herself up 1t is expected that her
testimony will be highly sensational
and form the basis for the indict-

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 26 The
doors of the Night and Day Bank of
Little Rock were closed Tuesday aft
ernoon, when on petition of ID. A.
Frayser, receiver of the All Day and
Night Bank of Memphis, the local in
stitution was placed in the hands of
w. II. Lewis as receiver, TO banking
circles, the failure of the bank WAS
no surprise. as it had been expected
for several days, though local 1nsti
buttons We're making an effort TO pre-
vent it According to the petition of
Receiver Frayser, of the Memphis in
sttuton, the local bank is indebted
to the Memphis concern to the extent
of $500. Receiver Frayser claims
the local bank claimed 10 hold certi-
Gates of deposit TO the amount of
1925, but these were fraudulently is
sued to Robert II. Timmons, and he
alleges they came into the hands OF
the local bank without right. Ac-
cofdng to the complaint the presi-
dent of the local bank, II. c. Wynne
is a director Of the Memphis bank,
and that he knew the certificates of
deposit sserc fraudulently issued, and
that he aaid nothing for them. w M.
lewis took Charge Of the bank late
Tuesday afternoon and made bond
of $4,000 Frank Wittenberg, To-
cal accountant, with Gordon Peay. of
w. B. Worthen & Co., and Sam Rey-
burn and CELSIUS Perry, of the Union
Trust Co, began working on the
books. They expect to get at the
true standing of the bank today.
When the news of the bank failure
reached the streets, the depOsitors
began to move rapidly toward the
bank on the corner of Markham and
Main, directly opposite the First Ma
tional Bank building, where big
failure occurred a number of years
ago The door was closed and On it
appeared a notice that the bank was
in the hands of a receiver. BY night
hundreds of people, mostly mechap
les, swarmed the streets about the
building, but there was no money for
them in spite of their threats to kick
in the door. 1t is thought the de-
positors Will receive a few cents on
the dollars deposited This bank
failure will be more seriously felt
than any other as the people who
lost were mostly the small deposit
ors and their deposits were their all.
This bank was organized several
years ago as the Rose City Bank,
but changed to the Night and Day
Bank, April 10, 1911. When the
change was made, the stockholders in
the old bank were given one share in
the new for three and one-half in the
old The Rose City Bank was organ
lied by men in the Eastern part of
the city by merchants there, to &C
commodate the shopmen. It came
near going broke when the cashier
defaulted with about $4,000, but
Wynne reorganiZed it and put in
some outside capital.

PLEADS FOR KANSAS
President TAFT Urges Friends to Keep

Hutchinson, Kansas, Sept. GA
rap at the Kansas Insurgents by Sec
rotary of the Interior Walter Fisher,
speaking today from the srandstand
at the state fair grounds with Presi-
dent Taft listening, gave the occasion
a tinge of pepper.
Secretary Fisher aroused United
States Senator Bristow rabid insur-
gent of this state, who also sat upon
the grandstand, to such a pitch that
when his turn to speak came he went
back at Mr.. Fisher with hot retort'
The president, the principal speak
er at the celebration Of the fiftieth
anniversary of the admission of Kali
sas into the Union, had managed up to
this incident at the fair grounds 10
keep the Insurgents and standpatters
from breaking out into a fight.
Mr. Taft was surrounded all day
long by leaders of both factions. On
the train with him were United States
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, an ardent
administration man, and Chairman
Mulvane. of the state committee, who
is supporting MI. Taft and trying to
get the insurgents into line for him.
Senator BristoW, who is hoping to see
Senator LaFollette nominated for the
presidency, came to town as did Gov
eHor Stubs and other extreme in
surgents whose sympathies are sup
posed to be with LaFollette, but who
are not confessing it.
Hutchinson has been torn up with a
conflict between insurgents and reg
ulans since the recent death of Con-
gresham Madison who, although a
Taft supporter, was regarded as ultra
, progressive. County insurgents and
regular leaders were in the throng up
on the grandstand when Secretary
Fisher started things going. After
President Taft had delivered a speech
to ten thousand people upon the his
tory of Kansas, the Secretary of the
Interior was introduced and every
body fiddled, expecting to hear some
thing about Alaska.
+ II want to say to you," began the
secretary without ever mentioning

President Taft who had been survey
ing the crowd in the grandstand
looked quickly up.
But | am true progressive" the
secretary Went on, raising his voice.
Il do not believe in demogogic pro-
gressiveism. | am against that kind
of proglessiyeism that stands for it's

We ought to judge men, not by wha,
they say but by what they do AS
the secretary sat down a howl went up
from the regulars in the grandstand,
while the insurgents, far outnumber-
ing them, hooted. President Taft,
anxious to bring the two elements to-
gether, looked uncomfortable and fid-
geted in his seat Governor Stubbs

Before their departure from Dumas,
however, it was learned that they
were going after the Malpass boys.
Old residents of Dumas, who knew the
fugitives we'll and knew them to be
bad men, advised Sheriff Preston not
to make the trip in the daytime, but to
wait until nightfall. They cautioned
him, but he was persistent. "The
truth of it is, said one of his Dumas
friends after Preston's death, "he was
too brave"

Woman clipped" Them Off.

Despite the protests of friends the
party set out for the Ellis place They
reached there at about 1870 o'clock
and got out of the machines in the
woods a quarter of mile away from
the Malpass cabin. AS they stole
across a field, through corn and cot
ton, they saw young negro woman
sitting on the front porch, directly
in front of Malpass Workshop. AS
they came nearer they saw her leave
the porch and hurry into the house.
Quietly the members of the posse,
led by Preston and Steil, stole up to
the house. They surrounded it and
Preston and Steil went to the front
door, which was partly open. Preston
stepped into the door and told Steil
to stand outside on the steps. He
had hardly gotten into the place be-
fore there was fusillade of shot and
when Steil followed Preston, who had
two revolyers drawn as he entered the
house, he found the sheriff clinched
With Lee MalpasS, who was pumping
away at his revolver, every bullet
seeming to enter Preston's body. Steil
began firing at the half breed and the
sheriff and Lee Malpass fell to the
floor togetaeH- al. Charles NAL
pass Jr., crouched in a corner in the
workshop, opened fire on Steil. who
mad not observed him, and the bullet
pierced Steifs heart. The deputy ran
from the house, past the other mem
bers of the-posse who We're hurrying
into the cabin, and dropped dead in
the yard $50 feet away.
Evidently realizing that he would
be killed, Charles Malpass, who killed
Steil, ran from the house and Fenner
Dickinson brought him down with
several pistol balls. The negro died
with his revolver clinched in one
hand and Winchester rifle in the
other.
At the rear of the house, crowding
into door We're Deputies Bankston,
Robinson, Nuckols and Courtney, who
were trying to get into the house to
protect their chief, when Charles NAL
pass Sr., ran into them and forced his
way into the yard He carried a shot
gun and revolver and was firing
the revolver rapidly. In an instant
Bankston brought the aged man down
with his rifle, tearing one of his legs
partially away. Several other pistol
bullets entered his body.
Just how the woman escaped the
officers are unable to explain. They
heard several shots in the house, af-
ter Malpass and his sons had been
killed and wounded, and this leads
| them to believe that Wiley Malpass
/ also escaped in the same manner, for

vealed no others about.
officers cannot tell. Not one chamber
in Preston's revolvers was empty.
Steil fired several shots and it was
! his bullet that brought down Lee NAL
pass. Members of the posse saw him
release his hold on Preston as Steil
fired bullets into him. When the bod
les were taken back to Dumas a doz-

taken there with them and it is i'm
possible to tell just Who owned the re-
