others in a wreck at Conway, Pa.
The story of the spirit of the girl is

Two weeks ago, she said, while she and
her husband sat together in their home
the voice of Margaret sounded in their
ears.

Il see papa in it; will protect him.
Wednesday night as Coughener and his
wife lay sleeping, came the voice again

the girl herself appeared in misty robe
bearing a rose in either hand and said:

ASK BANKS To HELP.
Report That Third Termers Are Vio-
lating the Law.

Washington, Aug. 31.-RepOrts that
one of the political parties was solicit
ing contributions from national banks
for the pending political campaign
stirred treasury department officials
today. Any national bank making
such contributions, declared Thomas
P Kane, acting comptroller of the
currency, will be subject to fine ana
its responsible officers and directors
liable to fine and Imprisonment for
violating the law.
The Washington Post today pub
lished a report that E. H. Hooker, ma
party in personal letter to the presi-
dent of a local national bank with a
capital and surplus of $1,000,000, had
solicited a contribution of $3.50. The
act of January &c, 1907, Mr.. Kane
pointed out, specifically forbids ma
tional banks or any corporations or
ganized by authority of congress to
make money contribution in connec-
ton with election to political office
including the offices Of president, vice
president. senator and representative
in congress.
The penalty for the violation of that
act is fine not exceeding $1,000
fine ranging from $3.50 to $1,000
against every officer and director con-
Senting to the contribution or their
Imprisonment for not more than one
year, or both.
The acting solicitor of the treasury
department recently decided that ma
1onal banks could receive and for
ward gratuitous contributions to po-
iitical parties, provided there is no
extra expense to the banks This does
not permit the bank itself to contrib
ute, it is declared.
