CLOSING Of BANK
INVOLVES 40
MILLIONS
One Of the Oldest Institutions in
Pittsburg Ordered by U, S.
Comptroller to Suspend,

PITTSBURG. July THE First
Second National Bank of Pittsburg.
one Of the citys oldest banking in
stitutions, closed its doors to-day by
direction of the Acting Comptroller of
the Currency. The amount involved
is said to be between S24,OOO,00O and
5000, 900. One report is that the
amount will reach 5000, 100000.
The Pittsburg Clearing House had
a special meeting last night TO con-
slider the impending failure and to-
day another conference was held.
Hundreds of depositors, many OF
them foreigners employed in the great
steel mills, flocked to the bank early
to-day but a squad of police kept
every one moving.
The First and Second National
Banks combined last March and oc-
cupied a new 25-story building.
A typewriter notice on the doors
stated the institution was in the
hands of National Bank Examiner
Samuel NJ. Ham and Sheriff Smith.
A director or the bank to-day made
the following statement:
The officers and directors are
unit in maintaining that a great in
justice has been done and that the
bank is solvent at this moment We
are also convinced that all claims will
be paid in full If the Treasury De-
partment, operating through the
Comptroller of the Currency, had not
interfered and had not subjected the
bank to rigid examination by spe-
cial examiners who were not able to
judge values of property and securi-
ties in this community. we would
! have been able to work out to sue
/ cess our problems
Following the news of the closing
of the First Second National Bank. a
steady run started on the Pittsburg
Bank for Savings, which also is con-
trolled by the Kuhn interests.

FIGHT
TAX ON COTTON
EXCHANGES
Declare Present Scheme Would
Deliver Price-Making Power
Into EngIand's Hands.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Southern
planters are protesting to the Senate
Finance Committee against the pro-
vision in the tariff bill taxing cotton
exchange dealers .O5 per cent.
This provision was inserted in the
tariff bill by Senator Simmons to meet
the demand that there shall cease ali
gambling in cotton futures and on
margins. 1t resulted from attempts to
corner the cotton market made by
spectators on the New York Cotton
Exchange.
The planters contend that with such
a tax, amounting to about so cents a
bale Of cotton, no exchange can con-
tinue tc % business. The planters
are opposed to the New York Ex-
change, but they want the New Or
leans and other Southern cotton eX-
changes to continue.
Defend South's Exchange.
In this argument they present 1t Is
held that the New Orleans Exchange
and other Southern exchanges are
bullish on the cotton market and seek
to hold the price to the advantage OF
the Southern grower. These ex-
changes make actual deliveries.
The New York Exchange is friendly
to the spinners and is bearish, its
purpose being to depress the price OF
cotton It makes no actual delivery,
but serves the spinners for their flu
ture needs. Its business IS done
through the interchange of purchase
and sale notes.
Gives Power to England.
With the wiping out of the cotton
exchange in this country, the cotton
exchange at Liverpool, also bearish,
will take command of the cotton mar
ket and fix the price just as the sugar
market price is fixed in Holland.
1t is Contended that through the
proposed tax a great injustice would
be done the cotton growers who are
now labOring under the disadvantage
of competition with Egyptian cotton
which is of high grade and commands
a better price than Southern cotton.
Egyptian cotton, which needs salt
air is being grown in the reclaimed
lands of Salton Sea, California, and
it is an active competitor OF the
Southern cotton, which is short or
fiber.

CORNELL WINS
FROM OLD PENN

Philadelphia, Nov. 28. Cornell
closed her erratic season yesterday af-
ternoon by defeating the University Of
PENNSYLVANIA for the second time in
t~wenty-one years the two teams have
met in football contests. The score was
II to 0. 1t was a glorious victory for
the Ithacans, and it was joyously
celebrated by $500 students, who
came down from Cornell to see the
battle. Cornell's only other victory
against Pennsylvania was in 1901,
when the big red team won by % to
6. In 1906 the teams played a score
less tie.
With the exception Of the punting,
and forward passing, Cornell showed
a superiority in every department of
the game. Her ability to advance the
ball through the line and her quick
ness in fathoming Pennsylvania's in
tricate plays, surprised the followers
Of the Quakers. The home eleven
tried everything it had in the way of
new and old football, n Cornell was
always there to stop it, with II con
spicuOus exception. This was in the
third period when Captain Young OF
Pennsylvania. ran forty-two yards af-
ter receiving the ball from Chester
Minds on delayed pass. 1t was the
longest spirit Of the game.

IS DEFEATED
BY JOE RIVERS

Los Angeles, Nov. 28.-Joe Rivers,
Of Los Angeles, the Mexican, defeated
Leach Cross, the New York light
weight, in twenty rounds, after two
k~nockdowns in the fourth and ninth.
Cross showed marvellous recuperative
powers and fought brilliantly, but
could not overcome the lead Rivers
won by constant and vicious milling.
Cross had a marked advantage in
five rounds, while Rivers led in thir-
teen. Referee George Blake's decision
was popular with the crowd.
The most spectacular of the twenty
rounds, was the nineteenth, when
Cross, apparently tired and beaten,
electrified his supporters by leaping
after Rivers and fighting him off his
feet. At the bell the Mexican was
hanging on.
Rivers knockdown was scorA in
the fourth with a short left hook to
the jaw. Cross remained down for a
count of nine. Rivers repeated in the
twelfth, flooring Cross with right and
left swings to the head. Cross was
plainly dazed and once more took the
count of nine.
