What Makes a Savings Bank
Safe

The man or woman who thinks OF
making a deposit OF his or her little
savings, oftentimes his or her all.
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference TO the matter of safe
ty. There are great many financial
institutions which parade at the head
Of their announcements long list OF
distinguished names, names which
are an ornament, and names Of men
whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make bank worthy
OF confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names The names of Gen
eral Soand-So and Hon. So-andSo
and Col So-and.So do not add to the
safety of the bank. II they belong to
that class OF directors who do not di.
rect.
In this connection the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has a word to say. II
is matter OF common knowledge
that the managers of this bank have
given to its investments such careful
consideration and scrutiny that In its
more than twenty-three years OF exis
tence II has never lost a dollar by a
poor note-a record perhaps unpar
alleled in the history OF banks. Not
only do its managers scrutinize with
painstaking care every detail connect
ed with It's investments, but the re-
suits show. that those investments
are made conservatiyely and with a
determination that safety rather than
high rates of interest shall be the
guiding principle OF the Bank.
Parties thinking Of making deposits
are invited to address the President.
Carroll S. Page, or the Treasurer.
Frank NJ. Culver. asking for a state
ment Of its assets and liabilities.
Deposits made either by registered
mail, check, postal money order, or
express money order, are absolutely
safe. as in the twenty.three years ex.
perience not a dollar has ever been
lost by n depositor sending money to
this bank by mail.

Against HANGING With Negro.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Four white muir

lows for a negro who also is to pay
the penalty of the law for murder.
Every one of the white men objects
to the forfeit of his life on scat
fold that holds the death drop Of a
negro.
The negro is Thomas Jennings, con
victed on finger print" evidence of
killing Clarence Hitler, railroad
freight clerk. The white men are
Ewald and Frank Shiblawski, Philip
Soemerling, and Thomas Schultz,
found guilty of numbering Fred Guel-
zow, truck farmer.
A scaffold has been arranged so
that three men may be hanged at a
time. That means that either one or
two white men will die simultaneous
" with the negro. The condemned
men are fighting for precedence IN
the execution and against maj
hour association with a negro.

called as a witness before the Grand
Jury that is inquiring into the case

thirty.year sentence for burglary com
mitted at the house of Mortimer L.
Schiff.
District Attorney Whitman was
asked II Mr. Murphy was to be cali
ed. He manifested some surprise
and hesitated a little before he said
that he could not discuss that sub
iect.
Then Mr.. Whitman was asked
again IL Mr.. Murphy would be Ques
toned before the Grand Jury, and
when this questioning would occur
Again he hesitated, but finally he
said:
81 cannot discuss such a matter at
this time. You must really excuse
me"
Mr.. Whitman asserted again yester

FINES TO TOTAL s1oO,ooo,ooo
100000 Valuations a Day by Express
Companies, II Is Said.


Washington. Feb. l5.-Were 1t so
desired 100000 cases could easily be
formulated by the interstate COM
merce commission against the ex-
press companies, it is believed, for
violation of the laws against rate dis
ordinations. Commissioner Frank
lin X. Lane was asked If this were
too high an estimate. He replied he
did not know, but remarked that
5000 cases OF violation of the law
had been found on one line in one
day
No such wholesale prosecution will
be undertaken. The penalty for con
viction in such cases is $1,000, which
would mean total fines of 100000,
900. That would bankrupt the ex
press companies, and the interstate
commerce commission has no idea o.
any such proceeding.
