CANTON BANKS AFFAIRS
IN BAD SHAPE MOORE
Special to The NelCS.

Jackson, Miss, April 22.-Advices
from Canton state that all propositions
and counter propositions looking to
the adjustment of the affairs of the
defunct Mississippi State Bank have
been rejected, and it now seems Ger
tain that its affairs will be wound up
by receivers, and the depositors and
other creditors will receive only such
|dividends4as may be realized from the
assets, good portion of which are of
doubtful character,
The report of Chas j. Moore, expert
accountant, showing how the,books of
thei bank were juggled, and the heavy
loans made to various industrial enter
prises, has createdseyen a greater stii
among the depositors than the closing
of the institution several weeks ago
While it was known that the bank ha(
furnished financial backing to a mum
Der of concerns, it was not believed
that the. loans were so extensive a
the report of the expert accountan
shows. For instance, the assets liste,
show that loans were made to a Ian,
concern known as the Mississippi com
pany, represented by notes and over
drafts totalling over $15O,OOO ant
notes and overdrafts of the Cantor
Cotton Oil Company amounted tt
about $4,000. While the bank tool
as security shares of the capital stock
of these concerns for more than the
loans and overdrafts, those who are
acquainted with the two companies de.
clare that they could not be sold at
the face value of loans made.

Washington, April 22.--The most
effective speech in answer to Senator
John Cabbot Lodge. Republican, Of

100 persons were removed.

Curious Ear 81: tho Catfish.

The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan Of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes a closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim bladder.
In the catfish, as in the suckers, clubs
and most brook fish, the air bladder Is
large and is connected by a slender
tube, the remains Of the trachead, to
the esophagus. At its front 1t fits
closely to the vertebral column. The
anterior vertebrae are much enlarged,
twisted together, and through them
passes a chain Of bones, which con-
meets with the hidden cavity of the
air. The bladder therefore assists the
ear Of the catfish as the tympanum
and its bones assist the ear Of the
higher animals. An ear Of this sort
can carry little range Of variety in
sound. 1t probably gives only the i'm
preston Of jars or disturbances in the
water.

ran past the umpire, who was racing
toward first, screaming at him to
watch the play, and, swinging straight
across, he tore for third. Gaffney
called the runner out at first and
whirled just in time to catch Ker 60
ing into third, then called him out.
Kelly walked to the umpire, protested
an instant; then; knowing Gaffney had
caught him in the act, he remarked,

know which was second base
