RIOTERS STILL CONTINUITY
BIG REIGN OF TERROR
Effort to Stop Strike in Rand Proves
Inc ffective-Demand Gladstone's
Recall.

johannesburg, July S.-The settle
ment of the strike among the gold
miners in the Rand district, which the
government arranged with commit
tee of strikers, has proved ineffective.
The mObs reassembled late Sunday.
All trains and street cars suspended
service, the crews refusing to work.
No newspapers were able to issue edl-
lions. Additional troops guarded the
Rand club, the scene of serious encoun-
ters Saturday. A. great mob assembled
there, hooting and jeering the troops
Up to midnight there had been no
serious trouble, but armed police
everywhere were guarding property.
The recall of the governor general!
of the Union of South Africa, Viscount
Gladstone, is demanded by the FEEDER
ated Trades Unions. At meeting of
the federation at Pretoria attended by
1900 delegates it was unanimously re-
solved to petition the imperial govern
nent to take this action because the
governor general employed troops to
suppress the strike.
The opinion is very general that the
government has made serious plumbers
throughout the present trying situa-
ton. When Gen. Louis Botha, the ex<
premier of the Union of South Africa.
and General SHUTS, minister of the in
terror, mines and defense, arrived at
johannesburg they were amazed at
the strikers organization and the des-
perate spirit of the leaders.
The federated unions are flushed
with success and confident that they
are complete masters of the situation.

A recent British writer says that an

A recent British writer says that an
Indispensable requirement for success
in public life in America is ''unim-
peachable rectitude in private life. "
Limiting the application of this to high
official places, it is true The scru-
tiny to which a candidate for national
or important state office is subjected
puts the man with a past" out Of the
running. There is no double stand
ard as between women and that frac-
ton of men whom we choose to rule
over us.
This scrutiny and the rectitude it
commands are excellent. But there Is
a sort Of widowed, unwholesome per-
version of the scrutiny that is most
distinctly not excellent The effect to
get something on an official is usu-
ally reserved for such time as he has
shown a purpose to give real public
service. Then every keyhole has a
nasty politicians eye glued to it. Ev
cry transom is peeped through. Every
closet Is opened for disclosing a hoped
for skeleton. The former places of
residence of the man who is trying to
serve are raked for something discred
liable.

D. S. MAY PROBE
BANK FAILURES
First-Second National of Pitts
burgh Suspends.
REPORT SHOWS DISCREPANCY
Receivers Are Appointed FOR $4,000

Adoo Treasures Financfers.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 9.-As result
of the suspension of the First-Second
National bank Of Pittsburgh Monday,
one of the largest institutions in the
country, of which w. S. Kuhn is presi-
dent, the government may start GRIM
inal prosecution The bank had
more than $30,OO0,OOO in deposits.
The circumstances ton which the
probable prosecutions are based is the
discrepancy of nearly 100000 be-
tween the sworn report to the comp
troller of the currency as to the
banks condition on June and what
should have been true copy of this
report published in the Pittsburgh
newspapers.
The report to the comptroller
showed assets and liabilities aggregat-
Ing $39,e97, 347.1O each, while as given
to the Pittsburgh newspapers for pub
lication the report placed these totals
at $38, 103, 886.39, the $1,S93,460.71 diff
ference representing rediscounts or
borrowed money. Officials declare that
this was illegal.
The closing of the First-Second
bank was followed by action in rapid
series against various other interests
with which the Kuhns are identified
During the day there was run on the
Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, large
institution, of which J. S. Kuhn is
president Then came the closing or
the First National bank of Mckees-
port an adjacent city, which is closely
allied to. the First-Second of Pitts
'burgh. Soon afterwards a receiver
was appointed for the banking house
of j. S. & W. s. Kuhn, incorporated.
Greatest of all disasters in this tre-
mendous financial crash, however, was
the receivership for the American Wa
terworks and Guarantee company, the
largest concern of it's kind In the
country, of which J. S. Kuhn is presi-
dent. This corporation controls water
works plants in about eighty cities and
towns in the United States and the
capital stock of the various con-
trolled companies approximates $751;
100000.
The one consoling feature Of the sit
uation was a reassuring statement
sent out from Washington by Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, in which
he declared that the general banking
condition in Pittsburgh, as we'll as In
the entire country, was strong and
sound, and that he expected no fur
Their trouble as result of the failure.
The secretary will, it is said, make
a sweeping investigation of the causes
of the failure of the big bank and
probably will call upon the department
OF justice to assist the treasury in un-
earthing any possible Irregularities in
connection with the collapse.
The closing of the First-Second Ma
tional bank was ordered by Deputy
Comptroller of the Currency T. P.
Kane after every effort had been made
to meet the government requirements
as to legal reserve.

LAUTERBACH DUPE
OF FRIEND LAMAR
Admitting Dealings Charged,
SWears He Was Victim.
LEDYARD is ALSO BLAMED
Former Ally of Wealthy .Financier
Tells Senate Lobby Committee of
His Dealings With Wall
Street Operator.
LEDYARD is ALSO BLAMED

Washington, July 9.-The. senate
lobby investigating committees exam
ination of Edward Lauterbach Monday
wound up in verbal quarrel, in
which Senators Reed of Missouri and
ants.
Admitting his intimate association
with Lamar" the wolf OF Wall street,
and admitting also the truth of much
of the damaging testimony given
against him on the witness stand last
week by Lewis Cass, Ledyard and 9TH
ers of high standing in the financial
world and legal profession, Mr.. Lauter-
bach confessed to Senator Stone and
to the members of the lobby commit
tee that he had been duped by his
friend Lamar"
He said it was true that he had
posed before Mr.. Ledyard as speaking
for Senator Stone and Speaker Clark
with regard to, a general political ad-
justment of affairs" in which~th great
corporations of the country ere vital
ly interested. He laid all the blame on
Lamar" ~
Lamar" he said, protesting to en-
JOY close relations with all the powers
at Washington, had dictated to him
the program of legislative action and a
combination of political and financial
interests which the party in control of
the government had presented to him
with Senator Stone as the intermedi-
airy.
Possessing every confidence in La
mar" and all that he had told him, Mr..
Lauterbach declared that he had car
ried the proposition to Mr.. Ledyard.
Mr.. Lauterbach further testified to the
truth, in substance, of all the state
ments made with reference to his rep
reservations of authority and power to
control matters between the govern
ment and the steel trust.
He established, through his own con-
nection, added proof of the community
of interest between Wall street opera
tors and busybodies in the committee
rooms of congress acting in the name
of the so-called Antitrust league.
Lauterbach said that he got his in.
formation from Lamar" and that La
mar" got it from Henry Martin, secre-
tary of the Antitrust league, that Pres
ident Taft did not want the congress
sional investigation of the steel trust
and that before the resolution starting
the Stanley committee on it's work
was introduced, he Uauterbach) had
peddled TIM tip among the big men of
Wall street for what it was worth.
Declaring the statements he made
to Mr.. Ledyard with reference to
Speaker Clark and Senator Stone were
based solely and entirely upon CONVEX
sations he had with Mr.. Lamar" aver
ring that he had never talked to Sena-
tor Stone or Speaker Clark.

BULGARIAN AND SERB
Y WAR LOSSES ARE BIG
10000 Of Former Killed and $1,000
Serious-BIoodies of Balkan
Battles.

London, July 8.-After ten days of
deadly fighting the number of kill
ed and disabled in the Balkan strug-
gle was Sunday estimated between &c..
900 and 10000. This estimate is said
to be conservative.
The Servians have lost more men
than in the whole previous campaign,
and semi-official statements issued at
Belgrade have the appearance of an
intention to prepare the public for
news of disaster.
A Belgrade dispatch, describing the
five days operations between Vardar
and Kwivolak, says that after holding
greatly superior force in check the
Servians were obliged to retire. Thus
Krivolak fell into the hands of the
Bulgarians.
Another semi-official communication
says the Servians lost $1,000 killed
and wounded and the Bulgarians TO-
600.
There is heavy fighting also be-
tween the Servians and Bulgarians to
the south of Istip and in the neigh
bOrhOod of Kotchana. About 100000
men are engaged and the losses on
both sides are engaged to be terrible.
Desperate fighting, with fuctuating
fortunes, is proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which
which seems to be in favor OF the
Bulgarians.
Bulgaria's strategy appears to be
to hold the Greeks in check probably
with comparatively small forces, while
she deals with Servia. This assump-
ton, if correct, would explain the vic
torious advance of the Greek army.

INEFFIcIENcY.

When analysed, inefficiency amounts
to one Of two things, either 1t Is igno-
rance or dishonesty. If one is ignor-
ant of how to do thing, there is some
excuse for him, but when dishonesty
is to blame for it, it is time for ret
ribution. Still, some people look up
on inefficiency with indifference and
some, strange to say, with approval.
Efficiency of man speaks his char
acter. A community is depraved If 1t
Is made up of ignorant and dishonest
men, or, what is the same, inefficient
men. That Is largely the trouble OF
many communities They seem to toll
crate the inefficient man; to sympa-
thize with him, as if his misfortune
was not his own fault. A man who
can do SO worth Of work in day is
placed no higher in public esteem than
the man who earns only 81 doing the
same class of work. But the former
Is a truer man. He puts high esti-
himself worth what he gets If ne
doesn't, he is a fraud. Fidelity to
ones trust is the mark of real man.
The fellow who soldiers" on his job
Is an untrue man. There are many
men of this kind-they do as little as
they can. They will be happy If they
don't do $5tworth for their IS. There
are men who have~no scruples about
cheating an employer who happens to
have more money than they have.
