AMERICAN BANK
WITH RUSSIANS
AN INSTITUTION REPRESENTING;
BOTH COUNTRIES PLANNED
BY GROUP OF RUSSIAN
FINANClERS.

ST. Petersburg, Russia Informal
oyertures were made today by a
group of Russians to the ministry OF
finance with a view of obtaining a
charter for Russo-American bank
intended to promote trade between
Russia and the United States. The
applicants stated that they We're
working in concert with large Amer-
can banking interests.
The reply was given that no dis
cussion woud be entertained until Sc
curities representing half the amount
of the capital of the proposed bank
two and one-half millions-had
been deposited here or abroad This
precaution is intended to obviate the
risk of negotiations being opened
with mere concession hunters.
This in no way implies readiness
by the ministry of influence to grant
the chapter demanded. While ef-
forts to promote Russo-American re-
lations initiated by the United States
consul general and the Moscow cham
Der of commerce, undoubtedly will
have good results, it is doubtful
whether the relations have reached
a stage to warrant American finan-
ciers in opening a special bank here.

I Juarez, ex.-Officials of the Mex
ican Northwestern railroad received
word yesterday that train, filled
with American ranchmen and Mexi-
cans, which left Juarez Monday, had
been held UP by bandits near Guz-
man. So miles south OF the border.
A section foreman telegraphed
from Guzman that the bandits under
MaXimo Castillo had burned the
bridges behind the train and had TAX
Ell the passengers captives after rob-
bing them. Anxiety was felt for the
American, who were returning to
mines and lumber camps, because of
the reported threats by Castillo that
he would kill all foreigners. How
many people were on the train was
not known. A force of rebels has
been sent to drive the bandits out
of the country.
Rebel leaders received a. report
that General Torbibio Ortega, who
led in the first attack on Ojinaga and
who had gone south to prepare fol.
the attack on Torreon, had been cap-
tured by the. federals. The report
was said to have come from federal
sources by way of Mexico City. No
confirmation came through the rebel
lines OF communication.

sermon before the Holy Name society

ITO introduce promiscuous teach

comes from those who have lost the

During all the centuries the Cath

hygiene. Catholic mothers and Cath

girls the little that is necessary.
In the confessional holy priests
have been giving instruction that is
needed. Mere knowledge never made
