MANY water WORKS
COMPANIES AFFECTED

Pittsburgh, Pa. July IA series of
financial difficulties occupied the
Pittsburgh district today. The First
Second National bank, one of the larg-
est banks in the country, failed to
open its doors. Within a short time
| the First National bank of McKees-
port, an adjoining city, closed and
during the afternoon receivers were
appointed for the American Water
works and Guarantee company, one
of the largest of its kind in the Unit
ed States and for the banking house
of J. s. and w, S, Kuhn, Incorporated.
Also during the day, a run was made
on the Pittsburgh bank for savings,
a large institution.
The troubles were due to financial
difficulties confronting the Kuhn in
terests of this city. 1t is said the
embarrassment is only temporary
and that there is no immediate cause
for alarm. Heavy investments in
waterworks' propositions, coal and
oil lands, interurban railway compa-
MES, together with the financing of
a skyscraper bank and office building
are given as some of the causes lead
ing up to today's suspensions
The trouble first made it's appear
ance in the First-Second National
bank. 1t is said the government has
been investigating conditions for the
past month or since June last, when
the last statement was made. An al
legged deficiency of $2145,000 in the
legal reserve of the bank and the sub
sequent examination brought matters
to climax.
Several thousand persons congre-
gated about the First-Second Nation
al bank at noon. A squad of police
was necessary to keep the great
crowd moving.

HORSE THROWS GEN. WOOD.
Chief Of Staff of Army. Though In
jured. at War Department Today.

Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army. received a rather sev.6 :
jolting by being thrown from his horse
on the Fort Myer reservation yesterday
afternoon. Despite that. however. he was
at the War Department today as usual
Gen. Wood and his daughter were taking
one of their customary rides across the
parade ground and had stopped to watch
some artillerymen jumping a ditch.
Without warning Gen. Woods mount, a
spirited animal, suddenly reared straight
up in the air. causing Gen. Wood to lose
his seat. AS the general slid quickly over
the Launches of the horse he was struck
a violent blow on his jaw by either the
horses hook or his hoof and was knocked
out completely.
Private Burke of the Sd Field Artillery,
who saw the accident, rushed to the gen
erals assistance. The latter recovered
his senses almost Immediately, however,
and was able to remount his horse and
return to his quarters. That he suffered
nothing more serious than a severe shock
is shown by the fact that he was able to
keep an engagement for dinner at the
Chevy Chase Club last evening and to
attend to his official duties today as
usual.

RUSSIAN OFFICIALS AROUSED.
Cars Present to Offending Circus
Clown Resented by Police.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, November 10, 1918
Indignation has been caused In the
Russian official world by the cars &C
ton in sending a valuable jewel as a
present to Vladimir Duroff, a clever
circus clown, who had amused the i'm
periai children at Yalta by his perform
ances. which included the antics of a
number of trained pigs
Duroff has aroused the ire of police
and other officials by never missing an
opportunity to hold them up to ridicule,
and he has already been expelled from
more than fifty different towns.
Duroff now claims the right. on the
strength of the signal honor conferred
on him by the car, to give his per-
foImances in the fifty towns from which
he has been expelled. The town authori-
ties and police have thus been placed in
an awkward dilemma, having to choose
between offending the car by discrimi-
mating against a person who was the re-
cipient of the imperial favor and stultify
ing themselves by sanctioning an enter
tainment which they had stopped as
throwing ridicule on themselves.

Then came a troop of countrymen, who,
after shouting Death to the rabbits.

which. translated into English, are as fol-
lows:

Kill all rabbits you can find.
And you'll sleep at night with easy mind
