Former Comptroller Blamed
for Permitting Merger.
SHAKY CONDITION WELL KNOWN
Government Protected Small
DepOsitors by Closing.
Heavy DepOsitOrs With Inside
Information Held Off.

Washington. July 9.-Secretary Nc
Adoo before the close of the day ex-
poets to ask Attorney General Mercy
nolds to investigate the alleged ir-
regularities in connection with the
closing of the First-Second National
bank of Pittsburg and determine
whether the national bank act has
been violated. Sufficient facts have
been collected by the treasury depart
ment, it is said to warrant immediate
intervention by the department of
justice.
Thomas P. Kane, acting comptroller
of the currency. who returned today
from Pittsburg where he closed the
First-Second National bank. declared
the First National bank of that city
should have been cleared up or closed
up at the time of its merger with the
Second National bank several months
ago. The merger was authorized by
Lawrence o. Murray, former comptrol-
Ter of the currency
AT that time Mr.. Kane declared to-
day, the First Nationals capital was
badly impaired and the bank was noti-
fled last December that it's impaired
capital must be restored. The comptrol-
Ter adds that the condition of the bank
has been we'll known in banking cir
cules in Pittsburg. New York and else
where.
THE closing of the bank clears the
Pittsburg. Outside of this investigation
the banking conditions there are ex-
cellent. and there is no cause for any
further anxiety said he. THE First
National bank of McKeesport, which
suspended a few hours after the First
Second National bank was closed, is
arranging for resumption of business in
a few days. The bank is in a good
condition and there was no reason why
it should have been closed, other than
because of the run that started by
reason of the Kuhn connection with
the bank. The board of directors of
this bank will be reorganized and the
Kuhn interest eliminated before 1t is
opened
Protected Small Depositors.
Details of causes which induced the
treasury department to close the bank
Monday morning became known to-
day with the return of Comptroller
Kane. He declared that information
concerning the governments surveil
lance of the bank leaked out and one
big depositor withdrew $500, 900 last
Saturday. Government officials then
learned other big depositors contem-
plated making heavy Withdrawals
Monday. To prevent the large de-
positors from gaining the advantage of
saving their deposits at the expense of
little depositors, who were not aware
of the circumstances, the government
refused to let the bank open.
Run on Bank Slackens.
Pittsburg. July 9.-When the Pitts
burg bank for savings opened for busi-
ness this morning, the run that was
started on Monday upon the closing of
the doors of the First-Second National
bank was resumed but not in such
volume as the two preceding days.
Police regulations continued to be
maintained.
Those who came to deposit found
much difficulty in being waited on
quickly and complaints from these,

GREAT RACING TODAY.
Eight Entrants Have Fast and Very
Close Records.

Cleveland, July 9.-While all four of
the events listed for today's races in
the grand circuit meeting promise
great contests, the field in the Fasig
2:07 trot is SO evenly matched that it
is most unusual. Eight horses are en-
tered with only two seconds difference
between the records of the fastest and
the slowest. These entries are:
Esther w. 2:0614; Gay Audobon,
2:O6A; Oakda1e. 2:O7A; Robert Mil
roi 2:o73; Cheney, 2:07 n; Ryth-
nell, 2:O8; Ruth McGregor, 2:0S "a /,
and Cascade, 2:0SA.
Soprano set the record for the Fasig
in 1911 at 2:03A. With the battle
between these evenly matched horses
that is bound to take place that record
is likely TO be equaIed or bettered.

STORM
Several Deaths and Great
Damage Are Reported.
Cities in Darkness, Hundreds
Buildings Wrecked.
Continued from Page Two.)

Aurora, Ill, July 9.-Several lives
were lost, many persons were injured,
houses were set afire, cities were left
in darkness and hundreds of farm
buildings were f1attened by the tail
end of the northern Illinois gale which
swept across this section of the coun-
try late yesterday afternoon. News
of the havoc left in the wake of the
storm began to creep into Aurora to-
day over crippled telephone wires.
The dead to date are:
DAVID B. FRAZIER, travelling
salesman, Geneva, touched live power
wire.
RICHARD wALLENBERG, farmer
killed at Bristol when wagon blew
over upon him.
Two deaths from lightning were re-
ported.
Otto Hamlin who was caught in the
collapse of building at Pingree
Grove, ILL.,, was fatally injured.
A flying tree fractured the skull of
Percy Ream, 20 years old, of st.
Charles. He will die.
Andrew Nelson, Batavia, was in
jured internally when buried under
the roof of a house which blew
the air.
The city of Batavia was in darkness
last night and only part of the cir
cults were working in Geneva and st.
Charles. Street car service was still
crippled in Elgin today and the city
was practically cut off from the world
with telephone wires down. One man
was killed at E1gin during the storm
and 100000 damage done to build
ings.

Where are the lands of yesterday?
'Tis hardly fair to bring into a cold
manner-of-the-world newspaper story
a sentiment from IF 1 Were King.
But when H. M. Cottrell, agricultural
commissioner of the Rock Island Lines,
stepped from his car in Topeka today
after a four weeks sojourn in western
Kansas where the winds have carried
the soil, the seed, the crops and the
very bread and butter of the tillers
far into Oklahoma, Nebraska and
throughout a country far away, and
brought a message of good cheer anu
renewed energy from this plucky tribe
of Kansans, a play on the words OF
Mccarthy is not without application.
Mr.. Cottrell brings to Topeka with
him today a heralding of the dawn OF
an era of prosperity in western KAN
sas. He tells a story of the new spirit
which has topped a season of suffering,
encouragement and remorse. He telIs
a story of the manner in which a H.
tie band of sturdy farmers fought back
the prairie gales-and now after weeks
of toll and sweat and doubtful success,
they see not only visions but promises
of waving wheat fields, cracking corn
rows and shining sios with the
meadows dotted here and there by fas
and fancy cattle.
What the ROCK 1SIan0 HAS
Railroads are cold blooded, heartless
corporations-red dragons have been
their only equals. That's what the av-
erage man believes. But just let soma
man go out in western Kansas in tho
vicinity of Colby and spring this verbal
complaint. Then
Where are the knockers of yester-
day?
Undertakers have taken them all
away!
Eeveryone has read of the winds il
western Kansas last year-the winds
that lifted farms bodily and blew them
far down into Oklahoma. Another ploW-
ing and planting-another wind ana
another setback for the courageous tIl-
Ter of the soil.
No more will this happen in Kan
sas. Not if the farmers follow out
the plans of H. NJ. Cottrell, the Rock
Islands agricultural man. For four
weeks he has been out in the helCs
with the men and now he believes that
the winds have been conquered.
Here is what the farmers have done:
Several burrows over a section of
land will be listed and possibly planted
to crops Then a space twice as wiGs
will be left untouched. Then another
list-and so on throughout the country.
This breaking up of the soil, this rouga-
ening of the surface is a stumbling
block to the wind. 1t has been tried
and has been found successful.
Another thing. For the first time In
the history of agriculture, weeds are
welcome Weeds and growing crops lii
this section now will hold down the
soil against the wind.
The Rock Island commissioner pre-
diets that it is only a short time be-
fore this practice will be taken up all
over Kansas and the drifting of earth

Burning Rocks Descend From Sky on
