BANKS AFFAIRS
INVESTIGATED BY
RECEIVER NAMED
TEDIOUS WORK PROGRESSING
No Developments in Affairs
of National

Nothing developed yesterday in the
muddled affairs of the Americas Ma
tional, beyond the posting upon the
closed portals of notice to the effect
that Mr.. T. C. Dunlap, the bank ey>
aminer in charge since Wednesday
morning, had been made received Of
the bank at the instance of the comp
troller of the currency. This proceed
ure is not unusual in such matters, and
the appointment of a receiver here
occasioned little comment
Receiver Dunlap is delving into the
seemingly inextricable web and may
require two or three weeks wherein
to complete the task 1t is a matter
of doubt if the affairs of the bank
could have been worse tangled.
Upon the streets, in business circles,
in the homes-everywhere, the col
lapse of the Americas National is still
discussed above all other topics. Many
citizens are outspoken in their opin-
ion of the seemingly lax management,
while all hope that matters may not
be as bad as some fear and that order
may be restored in the adjustment of
the banks affairs.
With eight hundred depoSitors di-
rectly interested, to say nothing Of
others dependent upon these deposito1s
and the still more unfortunate stock
holders, it is no wonder that they dis
cuss vehemently the condition of af-
fairs.
Besides the 500 individual depositors
many of them to the extent of thous-
ands of dollars-many with their all
entrusted to the keeping of this bank,
there are dozens of secret organiza-
tons, churches, Masonic bodies an
fraternal societies that have their
money in the bank. Not a few of the
depositors are widows, with their all
thus invested, and naturally they are
very much perturbed
Many of the foreigners here were de-
positors there, some o. them to col
siderable extent The negro populatio
OF Amer;cus also had many depositors
upon the list They believed that :.
national bank, where Uncle Sam" had
supervision, could not possibly fail.
Many intelligent white citizens were
imbued with the same erroneous idea
The failure of no other bank caused
more surprise, however.
No one seems to have any definite
opinion as to the time of settlement or
adjustment, but the concensus of opin-
ion is that depositors will eventually
be paid their money, dollar for dollar.
1t will take longer to get it out than
il did to put it in, perhaps, but the set
tlement will be none he less appre-
ciaed

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Physj-
clans will subject Senator Bacon, Of
Georgia to an x-ray examination to
ascertain if he is suffering from in
flammation of the rib which recently
was fractured when the senator fell in
a bath tub.
The nature of Mr.. Bacon's illness,
which has confined him to his home
most of this week, has mystified his
physicians. His absence has delayed
consideration of arbitration treaties
in the senate.
The condition of Senator Stone of
Missouri, who is also confined to his
home by illness, was announced today
as improved.
Senator Bacon rested better last
night, and his fever was not so high
this morning when his physicians call
ed to see him.

measures

There is considerable weight to the argument of those who maintain that the United States has no official controversy with General Carranza Vera Cruz occupied solely for the admontory effect it would have upon Huerta and the A. B. c mediation SO far it concerns a person has to do with Huerta only.
 What then, is the immediate outlook for Mexico? Nothing mediation which has necessarily dragged while Villa has advanced. Villa is attacking saltulo He will take it, and the rest of the way to Mexico City will be comparatively easy
 The Federals retain but one part of the eastern coast There is nothing to prevent Cauanza getting ammunition through either port held by his forces except blockade, as the two remaining Federal gun boats both crippled away from these ports trailed by American vessels
 Huertas deathbed repentance will avail nothing. Car ranza will go to Mexico City So far as the Wilson administration is concerned this is what is desired Moreover the resolution adopted and framed by h, Democrats contemplated just this
 It left no possible excuse of interference by this gov emment with Carrsnza in assuming the proyisiona presidency Of Mexico. If such occasion should arise must come from something arising later. which is no probable.
 There can be no excuse conditions for ou hsltng Villas onmarch undertaking to whip his army Our only quarrel was with Huerta and he is as goo, of it, and knows it. Villa has done and is doing our fighting against him and is doing a good job; tn, fruits of victory will be his and his chiefs, and ou army will go further than 1t is.

Republicans succeed in controlling the next Congress t will be interesting to read the editorials in Re publican papers and the interviews which win be given out by Republican leaders. Those who specially interested in a high tariff will be sure that the nation has repudated tariff reform; those who take the views Of the big fuanciers on the money question will see in the result of the election repudiauon of the Presidents currency reform measure; the trust mag. mates will be just as sure that the people do not want to interfere with private monopoly Some may regard such a result as a rebuke to the President on the tolls question, but each one win look at Go from his own standpoint and assume that the people are with him in the construction that he places upon the peoples yermdict In addition to the influence exerted by issues, t is necessary to consider business conditions and the crops-both of which affect elections. IT, seems certain Democratic Congress is elected thls fall each group above named will refuse to regard the election as a repudiation of It's particular views.
 would be just reasonable to ask that the tolls question be postponed untn after the next Presidential election fact it would be about as reasonable for the friends of free tolls to ask for the adoption of resolution declaring that the final vote should be postponed until the benefciares of free ons express
 themselves as willing to surrender benefits which they hope to obtain from the present law.
 Those who believe with the President iD the repeal of the tolls law should not permit the Borah reso
 ution to delay action for single moment Senators have made up their minds and the vote should be taken as soon as they have had an opportunity tc express their views More time given to discussion win simply obstruct the passage of other important measures.

rzLEeRAPAYs BIRTHDAY.

IL was just seventy years ago today that the tele graph formally introduced. Samuel F. B. Morse the inventor who had worked for twelve years electromagneuc communication and his associate Alfred Vail had strung the first line between Wash ington and Baltimore On the morning of May 24 1844, Annie c. Ellsworth, daughter Of the then com missioner patents into the United States su- preme Court chambers in Washington where Morse and several distinguished men were gathered around his telegraph instrument and brought the news that Con- gress had appropriated S3OOOO for official tests the invention after dsheartening series Of refusals. Morse reached for the sending key and licked off the historic message: What hath God wrought" Vail in station al B9more, by another group of distinguished men, tbe upon a paper tape. Two days later the telegraph gave its first public news by announcing that Polk had been nominated for the Presidency in the Baltimore convention.
 Today the telegraph is one of the most important strands holding modern civilization together It is es mated that something like half billion news dis patches business communications and social messages are transmitted every year over the six million miles of telegraph wire connecting practically all of the m portant settlements tn the world Nearly 3OOOOO mile. of submarine telegraph also have been laid One in venon after another Jed to the reading of messages wholly by sound to the sending of as many as dozer messages simultaneously oyer one circuit and in crude form the sending Of pictures over the wire b'

sRYANs VIEWS

As Secretary William Jennings Bryan views the sit uation those who support repeal of the tolls exemp- ton bin are divided into several groups. The mem bers of one group believe that free tolls would be a violation of treaty stipulatons the members of the second group are in doubt as the correct interpre taon of the treaty and prefer to leave the question for future determination The members of stin an- other group believe that free tolls would not violate the treaty but oppose free tolls either because of their opposition to subsidies or other economic req son The members of the fourth group believe that free tolls may be permissible under the treaty, and may under certain circumstances, be wise. but think tlat there should be attempt at this time to give this advantage to American ships.
 majority of those who favor repeal of free tolls law dispute the theory that the it passed the house could be construed surrender Of any rights which the government may have but they favo the amendment as a concession to those who enter tain doubts upon tbe subject The amendment is un objectionable from every standpoint and is defensib as a means of increasing the support of the measure As the repeal measure would not. of itself, operat as a construction of the treaty or a surrender O any rights given by the treaty no harm can be dom by such specific reservation is made by On amendment

POLITICS AND PlFFLE.

Politics gaIayanted around Bsbee last night like an amorous beau All the old rules of the game were cast to the winds and order of things was inaugurated Bisbee Democracy came forth with breezy nonchalance and net disregard for prece dent It essayed a new role in a political side-show entitled "An for the Ladies"
 The merits of the innovation will be tested at the polls tomorrow If it is then demonstrated at the hustings that band concert of avail than tho oldfashioned method of butonhoeing voters; if grand ball is proven to be more effective ballot catcher than the believing of stumpspeaker if ice cream cake and lemonade contain lure whose draw ing qualities were never before suspected then, in- deed it must be granted that the old order chaneeth
 There are those who will decry this innovation on the ground that it assails the true mission of mu ncipal election which, rightly. should eliminate poll ties and hew to the mark of securing the best men for the cits welfare irrespective of party af iatons. It would seem be inconsistency to expect that because mayoralty candidate has nim- be pair of feet which slide through the of a hesitation waltz that he will prove a better official for solving municipal problem than the fellow with unruly feet It remains be whether Super intendeut of Streets who tango divney there fore straghten out traBc tansle demonstrate his ability to lay the dust thoroughfares just be- cause he kicks up no dust on !he ball floor Is it fair to suppose that the who corral for some fair prospective voter biggest plate Of ice cream and hunk of cake having the most generous amount of frosting can in his capacity City Mar shaI collar Iaw-breaker most expeditiously?
 Verify, woman thou hast led the erstwhue rough neck politician into strange paths on his quest for your ballot. He would be a bold who would at tempt to sainsay that the band concert and the grand ball and the refreshmen table has added ar atmosphere of refinement the political game. Bu as a means to an end these renements are somewhat startling when their application is taken into consid erauon.
 It cannot be regarded other than extraordinary appraisal of the intellectual status of the woman voter when campaign managers decide that tb' steongest appeal which can be made to her is by means of band music sponge cake and the dance Her heels it would seem are considered of more iu portance than her head exalted at the eX pense of conomic erudition; and ice cream is consd cred more effective in influencing her judgment thar cold facts
