TOLEDO BANK IS
AFTER PROXIES
URGES CREDITORS TO SEND IN
POWER OF ATTORNEY BEFORE
MEETING.
THE SITUATION IS EXPLAINED
President of the Northern National
Bank of Toledo Tells Why He Re-
signed His Position as Member of
Depository Committee.

In an effort to secure proxies of va
rious creditors of the Yaryan Naval
Stores company, l. E. Knisely, presi-
dent of the Northern National Bank of
Toledo, Ohio, has addressed a circu-
lar letter to all creditors of the CON
cern, in which his position is outlined.
lined. His letter is as follows:
Pear Sirt-Bankruptcy proceedings
againSt .h. Ya-yan Naval Stores COM
pany have been instituted in the Unit
ed States court at Toledo, Ohio.
This bank is the largest creditor.
That the creditors should take steps
to protect their interest is evident.
There was a creditors committee
organized at Brunswick, Ca, some
time ago. This bank did not Join that
committee for reasons which need
not be given here. We feel, however,
that if the bankruptcy proceedings go
and the creditors have the power to
select and there should be some con-
certed action.
The president 81 this. bank was
formerly a member of the stockhold-
ers'T depository committee organized
at Toledo, but with view of acting
solely in the interest of the bank and
other creditors, he has resigned his
position as a member of that COM
mittee.
There doubtless will be creditors
who will not attend the meeting of
creditors to select a trustee. There
fore, this bank asks you to join it in
the selection of trustee or trustees.
We do not wish to incur much ex-
pense. If an emergency arises where
expenses must be incurred you will
be first consulted Advise us and we
Will forward you a power of attorney
authorizing the president or some one
to act for us and you.
Yours respectfully,

PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH
OF cHAS. LOTION HAS NOT
YET BEEN FOUND.
MUCH INDIGNATION AROUSED
1t Is Believed that the Guilty Parties
Will Be Arrested and Made to An
swer for Their Criminal Careless
ness at an Early Date.

Although there have been no arrests
maze yet III the case Of the young
man who was run over and killed b.
an automobile early Sundar morning,
the police are working on the case
and police officials stated last nioht
chat the parties responsible would
probably be apprehended today.
Much interest has been aroused in
the case, and the citizens II Bruns-
W-ck are anxious that the guilty par
ties be brought to justice. Their par
ticularly heartless action in leav;n.
their victim in the read after having
struck him down, has caused added
indignation against the party in the
car to that which was felt because I, i
their andangering human life by their
reckless run through the streets
Several men have been found Who
saw car just before the time the ac-
cident is supposed to have occurred,
with no lights burning, running at an
excessive speed through the streets
If the tragedy had been the result
CT an unavoidable accident it is al
most certain that some report of it
would have been made to the police.
but the fact that there has been no
such report is proof that whoever is
responsible feVs that he has been
guilty Of criminal negligence, and the
citizens Of Brunswick are anxious
that he be brought to account for the
death of this victim, in order to pre-
vent him, or others from repeating
the tragedy of Sunday morning.

Jaurez, Mex, Dec. 16.-MeXican reb.
n leaders in Juarez today were hope
full that information wothd come from
Gen Francisco Villa of MS future at
titude toward foreigners in a less Sc
rious aspect than that which resulted
N the expulsion of Spaniards and the
taking ever Of their property by the
rebels.
~S2n. Benayides, left by Villa in COM
mand at Juarez, considered that Viii
las acts were based on conviction
that Spanish merchants of Chihuahua
mad aided fedeal troops, had taken a
strong stand in favor Of Provisional
President Huerta, and 50 were consid-
cred by Villa as active enemies of the
rebellion. He was confident that with
the Spaniards eliminated and with
certain suggestions which have gone
forth to Villa the future attitude of
the rebels toward foreigners would
harmonic with the desires of other
countries.
Raoul Madero, young brother of
the late president, may be appointed
chief of staff to villa and as an advis
er in civic and diplomatic functions
OF government, it was announced.
The 400 or more Spaniard who were
summary expelled from chihuahua
and who were joined by some Of the
German and American merchants
were, hewocver, not less active in
their protests. The Spaniards held
that their rights, both as to their be-
Ing required to leave the country,
were violated in a serious manner.

6. 0. p. FEARS LOSS
 OF WARNER IN ROLE. OF LADY BOUNTIFUL
Candidates and Office Holders Can't Rely Altogether on Him For Their Running
 Expenses This Year.
Announcement of His Retire ment" Taken to Indicate UnWillingness to Finance
 Campaign.

There is talk that City Sheriff Jos eph Schultz may be the candidate for
 town clerk on the Republican ticket In place of James A. Turner and also that the town committeefwill be asked tonight to see that Frank Braithwaite Is assured one of the assistant clerk ships Tonight the delegates to the town and city convention with the members of the Republican town com mittee will caucus at Republican head quarters.
 The ticket decided on tonight will be endorsed at the Republican town and city convention on Saturday night. The candidates will undoubtedly be selected from the names published in the Farmer last night.
 It is understood that this year the candidates for office with the Repub- ltcan office holders who are not direct ly concerned in this election, will be asked to bear the brunt of the cam paign expense.
 William E. See1ey and other mem- bers of the Republican town commit tee who are. in charge of the work of raising the campaign fund have al- ready mapped out a schedule of assess ments for each candidate and office holder. When DeVer H. Warner an nounced several months ago that he intended to retire from active politi- cal 1ifes it was taken to indicate that the Republicans could not again count on him for more than s, coo for cam paign expenses as they did two years ago.
 A large number of those RepubIi- cans who in years past readily con tributed to the campaign fund with out taking any active part in politics themselves have died. Others are now identified with the Progressive party and the Republicans are really con cerned as to where the money Is to come from to conduct the campaign.
 It is said that the finance comHit- tee of the Republican party plans to assess each candidate for office ten per cent. of his prospective salary as contribution to the campaign fund. Each Republican office holder wheth- CT or not the present election con cerns his position, will be assessed ten per cent of his salary. The can dfdates for the smallest offices are all to be assessed. The assessment for the aldermen will be $1O each.
 The assistant registrars of voters in each district will be assessed $5 each. Tn this manner the Republicans hope to raise their entire campaign fund from the men who are in office or from those who hope to be.
 These assessments will go into the general campaign fund and besides each candidate must take charge of his own personal expenses.
