BANK OFFICIALS
 FINED Sl,0OO EACH
President and Vice President of ChOctaw Commercial Bank Con victed of Receiving
 Money.

Stigler. Ok. Dec. i6.-Pleading guilty. E. w. Fannin and E. l.. Hick- man, former officers of the defunct Choctaw Commercial bank of Spiro, LeFlore county, were fined Sl,000 in the District court here yesterday afternoon. They were charged with accepting deposits when they knew the bank was insolyent. The de- fendants also were adjudged to pay the costs in the case, which are considerable, owing to the fact that the cases were transferred from LeFlore to Haskell county on change of venue.
 Fannin and Hickman formerly were president and vice president, respectively, of the bank. Fannln severed his connection with the in- stitution some time before the fail ure, which occurred last February. The bank was member of the state guaranty fund and the de- positors did not lose.
 Following the failure of the bank, Fannin, Hickman, Win MeCann, the last president of the bank, and C. w. Yaeger, former cashier were arrested on four charges each ot accepting deposits when the bank was insolvent. McCann was tried on one charge at the recent term of court at poteau and was acquitted.
 The failure of the bank was fol- lowed by the failure of the Fannin-- More Furniture Company, one of the largest concerns of it's kind Tn LeFlore county. The bank, 1t IS asserted, held about Sl0,0OO netes given the company by it's patrons,

 Through the Mail.

New York, Dec. i2.-A bomb sent by express exploded and instantly killed young woman employe in an uptown bottling works today, and injured two men employees. The girls head was nearly blown off
 In the confusion there was delay in identifying the girl. The pack age was addressed to Thomas Me- Cabe, one of the office force. lie was standing near the girl when she opened it. His left ear was torn off and Michael Ryan another employe, was cut by flying glass.
 Later the police learned that the girl was Ida Anusewitz. She was IS years old and had been employed by the company only short time. The package containing the bomb was addressed to the bottling con- pany in stencil. It was received by McCabe, who placed it on the girls desk.
 The force of the explosion wrecked the room, shattering plate glass windows and tearing a jagged hole in the floor. The police be- lieve dynamite was used.
 Employees of the company con- nected the explosion with the all l legged discharge of thirty workmen by William H. Callahan, the pro prietor Callahan. however, de- nied having discharged the work men and told the police that they were working today.

SMALLEST REPUBLIC
 IS THE SCRAPP|EST
San Marine at LOggerheadS With Italy Over d Quarter Ton of To- bacco and Threatens to Shoot
 Holes In the Landscape.

Rome, Dec. l6.-San Marine, the smallest, but none the less one of the most obstreperous republics i'll the world, Is again at loggerheads with Italy. Recently the tiny re- public passed a law obnoxious to the Vatican. The latter protested, but San Marine refused to budge Then the Vatican withdrew it's min ister and immediately thereafter San Marine withdrew its minister, and the two powers are still at outs,
 A little later, San Marine solicited the gift from Italy of two antlquat- ed cannon, and at once increased it's wal footing by organizing an ar tillery corps of nine members. Lat CT it was discovered that the repub- lie was so small that there was no point within it's kingdom where ar tllery practice could be lndulged in without the cannon balls drop ping in Italian territory and thus creating hostil act. San Marlno had no sooner apologized to Italy for this than she again started fresh trouble.
 Like France, Italy and most of the other powers, San Marine exercises a government monopoly on tobacco, from the sale of which 1t receives most of it's state revenue. The gov supply is purchased rom Italy and ordinarily amounts to half ton a year.
 In 1911. however, the San Marlnos did not chew and smoke as much as ordinarily, and San Marino purchased from Italy only a quar- ter of a ton of tobacco. This year smoking and chewing is more pop ular. and San Marine has demanded of Italy that it come across with inc other quarter of ton to which if was entitled in 1911. Italy says t won't. and San Marine has all but said that if it don't she'll take the antiquated cannon which Italy pre- sented to her, and shoot the sur rounding Italian territory, which consists exclusively of barren, un- inhabited mountains, full of three inch holes.

THREE SUSPECTED

Police Believe They Have Clever SwindlerS in Trio They Arrested
 Had d Check for S3,00O.

Little Rock, Dec l0.-Three men, who gave their names as George Russell. Will Allen and C. S. Wheel CT. believed to be members Of a gang of confidence men, whose field of operation rivals that of the mo- torious Mabray gang, were arrested by the police yesterday. The po- lice say they were attempting to cash a check for S3,0OO, which they are said to have secured from J. L. c. Richards, a wealthy farmer and cattleman of Mountain View, Mo. Richards had put up the money as a bet on an alleged fake horse race. supposed to have been run at Cincinnati yesterday afternoon.
 Russell was arrested by Detec- lives Will Hobbs and Burrell (. Ro- tenberry. in front of the Western Union telegraph office, Third and Main streets. where Richards, the alleged victim, and Wheeler had gone to send a message. Wheeler, So Richards declares, told him that he would have to telegraph Rich ards home bank to see if the check was good before he would accept It on the bet. The officers declare, however. that Wheeler went to the telegraph office to telegraph the Summerville (Mo.l bank, on which the check was drawn, to instruct some local bank to cash Richards check.
 Richards Still Undeceived.
 At the time Russell was arrested, the officers believed that Richards was one of the men they were seek ing, and placed him under arrest also. The farmer was very much incensed, and begged the officers not to interfere, telling them he was about to make S3,000.
