Will Make Loans At Once In Accord

After several months studying the
loan situation in our city and getting
the full details into working order
the Equitable Loan society has now
opened their doors at sos Union Trust
building ready for business.
The press throughout the country
have so vigorously attacked the
money loaning problem in the larger
cities that almost anyone Is con-
lyersant upon the usurious methods
| that existed and this has brought
about restrictive legislation in almost
every large state. Michigan took up
the situation and the last legislature
passed the measure known as the
Copley bill to regulate the loaning OF
money on chattels and pledges. II be-
came Act 105. Public Acts. 1911, and
became law, August, 1911. Soon
after this law became effective the

MAYOR ORDERS
 SUNDAY LID ON
PROCLAMATION IS ISSUED
THAT STORES OF CONWAY BE KEPT CLOS
 ED ON SUNDAYS.

Mayor w. H. Duncan has decided upon a more rigid enforcement of the Sabbath closing laws in Conway, and today issued a proclamation ordering that all stores in the city be kept closed on Sundays, beginning April 2l. Mayor Duncan stated that com plaints of violation of this law had become numerous and he felt the time had come for strict enforcement of this law. "I don't want to do any thing sensational or radical" he said, but l believe we have been too lax in our enforcement of this law, and it IS my opinion that it is best for all concerned that all of the stores should be kept closed on the Sabbath, as the law requires"
 The proclamation issued by Mayor Duncan is as follows:
 PROCLAMATION"
 Being convinced that I will be up- held by the city council and ma jority of the people of Conway, it is my order that the stores of the city be closed on Sunday, beginning April 21, 1912, and that as far as possible the Lords day be observed.

AGED FISHERMAN
 DIES SUDDENLY

D. W. Watkins, an aged fisherman and farmer who lived on Palarm creek, two miles northeast of May flower, died suddenly near the banks of the creek yesterday morning. Mir Watkins had gone from his home early in the morning to run his nets and the eXertion evidently brought on hemorrhage which caused his death He was alone when the attack came on and the circumstances showed that he had made his way to the creek bank and walked a distance of about 50 yards before he fell. The pres ence of the blood and the fact that he was heard to call for aid at first led to the belief that foul play was the cause of his death, and a coroner's s inquest was held over the body, but the verdict was that death occurred from natural causes. The body was buried at Antioch cemetery this morning. Mir. Watkins is survived by his wife, one son, J. D. Watkins and one daughter, Miss Molly Wat k!ns.

rBy Telegraph to The Tribunel

Ithaca, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-Two accidents
to-day in which seven Cornell Uni
verslty students figured. which cost the
lives of two and caused serious injuries
TO three others, have cast gloom over
the university
Two undergraduates In the College Oh
Civil Engineering, Henry A. Converse
of Buffalo and Charles w. Getman' OF
Richfeld Springs, were drowned In cay
uga Lake. near Kidder's Ferry, about
twenty miles from Ithaca, early this
afternoon while skating. The young
men. who were roommates, with Rodney
Newman, Of Ithaca, started from Ithaca
this morning. intending to skate to Au-
burn at the north end Of the lake forty
miles from here.
Owing to the thaw Of yesterday ana
to-day the ice was thin, and half mile
from shore it gave way, carrying with
It the three young men. Newman sue
ceeded in getting out, but his efforts 10
save his companions were futile ana he
skated to shore for help. Throughout
the afternoon all attempts to recover the
bodies were Of no avail
This is the first fatal skating accident
on Cayuga Lake since 1904. when CAR
ence Dickinson. brother Of the late e T.
Dickinson. former president Of the Car
negie Trust Company, was drowned
Cayuga Lake has not been frozen from
end TO end until this winter since 1882
but in 1904 all except five-mile STRIP
was solid. Young Newman was brought
tn town by train this evening in a seri-
ous nervous condition, and he gave his
version OF the affair disconnectedly.
The other accident occurred here early
this morning. Five undergraduates mar
rowly escaped death when the automo-
bile in which they were riding pitched
ever an embankment and dropped thirty

Of Mahoney City, Penn. w. j. F. Flynn,

Krause. '13.
The young men missed the last trolley
car up the hill to their living quarters
and employed the chauffeur Of James
White, barber. to take them home. On
the steep part Of State Street Hill the
car was stalled, and. intending to throw
the gears into neutral, the driver then
threw them into reverse. so that when
the engine started the car backed
through a light board fence and went off
the embankment.
Flynn and Krause jumped from the
car as II started. but the other students
were unable to get out. Margunson, who
has only one leg. was seriously hurt, and
the two other men are in a precarious
condition. 1t is feared that they may be
| injured internally. though at the Cornell
Infrmary it was said this evening that
the patients were doing as well as could
be expected.
