D. L.STONE HEADS
UNITED STATES
BANK 8 TRUST
One Of the Founders Of the Bank
Is Elected As Its President
at a Meeting Today.

David T. Stone. one of the organ
izers of the United States Bank IL
Trust Company, and the cashier of
that institution since it was founded
more than ten years ago, was elected
president of that Institution at spe-
cial meeting of the board of direc-
tors.
The change in the ownership of
the stock held by NJ. B. 10y and w.
E. Mitchell. as detailed in The Sem
tinel Monday, naturally caused va
cancies on the board of directors, and
a special meeting was necessary.
Mr.. Reuel Morgan of Cripple Creek.
one of the new stockholders, was
elected director.
At this meeting the resignation of
Mr.. Stone as cashier was received and
accepted, and Mr.. Stone was by unan-
imous vote elected to the highest Of
flee of the bank, that of president.
Mr. Morgan was elected cashier to
succeed MIR. Stone.
The remaining vacancies on the
board of directors will be filled at the
annual meeting of stockholders, to
be held on January 18th.
The choosing of Mr.. Stone as presi-
dent of this popular banking house
will meet with general satisfaction,
and is certainly a deserved recogni-
tion of the ability and success of Mr..
Stone as a banker and business man.
No one man has been quite so largely
responsible for the growth and pros
perity of the United States Bank &
Trust Company tformerly the Union
Trust & Banking Company as has
Mr.. Stone.
Mr. Stone is recognized as one OF
the leading bankers in western Col
orado. and has for years held high
place in Colorado banking circles. He
is treasurer of the Colorado State
Bankers Association.
The selection of Mr.. Morgan as
cashier means a strong addition to
the working force of the bank. His
successful business experience and
the able management of his large
interests in the Cripple Creek district
are proofs of his ability to creditably
| and ably fill the cashiership of the
| local bank, in which he has become
SO heavily interested. Mr.. Morgan
left today for Cripple Creek to ar
range his affairs SO that he may re-
turn here with his family by Feb
ruary 1st, at which time he will take
up his new duties.
A financial statement issued by the
bank and published elsewhere shows
the splendid condition of the insti-
tuition, the most flourishing in Its
history.
Until Mr.. Morgan's return to the
city e. w. Dinwiddie, assistant cash.

WHAT MOTIVES LEAD.
TO CRIME OF ARSON
This is One Of the Problems
Being Studied BY Fire
Marshal.
National News Association,

INDIANAPOLIS, May 27.-What
are the motives which lead to the
crime of arson?
This is one of the problems which
is being studied in the State Fire Mar
shaps office in order that Indiana fires
may be properly and intelligently in
vestigated, and arson uncovered
where 1t exists.
In Ohio, where such investigations
have been made for the last eleven
years under law similar to Indianas
new statute, five general motives are
found as the causes of arson.
During 1911, eighty-five persons
were convicted of arson in Ohio. With
fourteen of them, the motive was to
defraud fire insurance companies;
twenty-six set fire to property in a
spirit of malice or revenge; three per-
sons caused fires to conceal other
crimes; eleven incendiaries were
classed as insane, or "pyromaniacs,"
and there were convictions in thirty
one cases where malicious mischief
was the motive for the fire.
The fact that arson can he discour-
aged and arson cases reduced under
effective administration of a law such
as Indiana now has is shown in Ohio
where the number of arson cases re-
ported has decreased from pei in 1901
to 1872 in 1911
On the other hand, there has been a
steadily increasing number of convic-
tons, beginning with sixteen in 1901
and ending with the last report-that
of eighty-five convictions in 1911.
Comparison Emphasizes Result.
The result is better shown by this
comparison In 1901 there were re.
ported 291 cases of incendiarism and
there were sixteen convictions. In
1911 there were 1872 clear cases of
arson-and eighty-five convictions. 1t
is even more significant to not that
$50 warrants for arson were issued in
1911-one for almost every clearly es-
tablished case of arson.
From these figures" said w. E.
Longley, state fire marshal, sit is not
difficult to appreciate the statement OF
Ohio's fire marshal, John w. Zuber
when he says that owing to the activ-
tiles of this department in the pursuit
of persons charged with arson, the mo-
raj hazard in Ohio is better than any
other state in the union"
Ohio has, in this way minimized ar,
son. Illinois, on the west of Indiana,
has also done much in this direction
Between these two states lies Indi
ana which, until now. has offered a
comparatively safe haven for the fire
bug.
Every Indiana fire is now being
carefully Investigated and the State
Fire Marshals assistants have been
carefully instructed to telephone OF
telegraph their report whenever fire
shows definite evidence of being in
Z cendiary.
Reports on every fire are required
by the fire marshal law within ten
days. these reports being made by
township trustees, town clerks and fire
chiefs in every community in the
state. Whenever possible even rou
tine reports are expected to come ear
lied than the ten day limit But, spec
ial emphasis has been placed on in.
cendiary fires in order that a deputy
may be sent from the fire marshaPs
office to aid in the investigation.

.ptLkY NOT BLAMED
For Death of White Cham
pion Luther McCarty.
BY ED w. SMITH.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 27.-Lu-
Their McCarty's death in the glove con-
test here Saturday afternoon with Ar
thur Pelky was entirely an accident
This was the verdict of the coroner's
jury last night, delivered after two
sittings, the decision being reached at
10 o'clock, after elaboration of half
an hour. Pelky was exonerated COM
pIetely from all blame in the case.
Almost Immediately after, however,
the Northwest mounted police placed
Pelky under arrest, charging him with
manslaughter. He gave bail in the sum
of ten thousand dollars, Fred c. Loves,
a wealthy real estate man, and Tommy
Burns furnishing the surety.
The cases threatened against Ref
cree Smith, Manager Billy Mccartney
and Promoter Tommy Burns did not
develop, but both Smith and McCar-
ney, in lieu of being given their liberty
promised to remain in the city for a
couple of days at least an dgive fur
there testimony. No bonds were asked
in their cases.
Following is the full verdict as Civ
en- out:
I'VE, the coroner's jury, find that Lu-
Their McCarty came by his death &C
cidentally, the immediate cause being
sublaxation of the -cervical verte-
bre, at the Burns arena, May "a, but
there is no evidence to show how this
injury occurred. We, the jury, there
fore exonerate Arthur Pelky from all
blame whatsoever"
The verdict was signed by P. ]. Nc
Manus, as foreman. The other jurors
were H. c. Hersey, r. Jackson, E. w
Scofeld, C. p McCallum, NJ. Dawson
and E. A. Jones.
