BANKER OF MEMPHIS
DEFAULTS 100000
President Turns Over Per-
sOnal Property But Bank
Closes Doors.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb 9.-The
Mercantile Bank of Memphis closed
its doors this morning. This action
was determined upon at a meeting of
the directors at which the president
of the bank admitted that the institu-
tion was short approximately 100000
and that he lost the money in cotton
speculation. The defaulting president
was one of Memphis most influential
citizens and was leading the fight to
secure a regionl reserve bank here.
He had turned over 100000 all of his
personal property to the bank direc,
tors.
The men behind the bank are asso-
ciated with the Memphis Street Rail
way, the Memphis Gas Company and
the Commercial Appeal, three of the
strongest corporations in the state.

CHILDREN REQUE 7
PERMITS TO WORK
Plead With Officer to Be Al
lowed to Quit
School.

Stories of suffering and hardship
come to school attendance officer
Bishop during the last few weeks. To
keep many children in school Mr..
Bishop must find shoes and other ar
ticles of clothing for them. Some of
them even say that they cannot get
enough to eat at home to nourish them
properly for school because their faith
ers are out of work and they are liv
ing almost entirely on charity.
Most of the children who have come
to the attendance officer within the
last few weeks have been under four
teen years old. some of them within
few weeks of the required age. There
fore it was necessary to refuse them
permits to leave school and work.
Such children usually return with
notes from parents, saying the father
has been out of work and that the
only work available for any member
of the family is in garment factories.

They were asked for reasons.
I'VE haven't any shoes but these"
our shoes are through at the bottoms -
why don't you have them half
soled?" asked Bishop.
Rather can't find work. Our moth
er is working though and one of us
must stay home with the baby and to
help get meals"
The attendance officer then ques-
toned them further and discovered
that the whole wages which comes in
to the family are those that the moth
er earns at factory work. A charitable
organization has assisted the family 10
some extent, but no shoes had been
provided.
Another girl, who will be fourteen
years cid February %, returned the
second time to the office of Mr. Bish-
op, bringing him note from her
mother. sa -

However. the law was carried out

In every church affiliated with the
Honeywell revival campaign a num-
ber of persons were admitted to mem
bership yesterday. Probably the
largest number of accessions was at
the East Main street Friends church
where 112 were taken into the
church. OF the $500 converts about
500 have been taken into the
churches.
Inclement weather and sickness
caused many professed converts at
the Honeywell evangelistic meetings

pastor. the Rev. Conrad Huber. In
his sermon yesterday morning, Rev.
Mr. Huber spoke of the recent reviy-
al campaign. The exact number at
the Third NJ. e. church is not known.

us to constant, earnest personal work.
1t should mark the beginning of a

Brands Report as False.
In no uncertain words the Rev.
Earle B. Parker. pastor of the First
NJ. f. church, branded the report that
a convert of the Honeywell meetings
had fallen back into the paths of sin,
as a lie. The minister declared at
yesterdays service that he did not be-
leve the report which he heard was
being circulated.
Anyway. if the report is true, we
should all go to this man and induce
him to return to the church and the
church work. said the Rev. Parker.
We should tell him that we believe
in him and take him by the hand
and prove to him that we are going
to help him
Evangelistic services will be con-
Quoted at the First NJ. E. church,
starting with Wednesday night, and
continuing until next Sunday night.

new departmental court which will deal
with all violations Of city ordinances and
regulations concerning health safety. tene-
ment houses, fire prevention, child labor
and the like. Such a court would relieve
enormously the pressure and congestion
now In the Magistrates courts and in the
Special Sessions, where sometimes AZ
many as 800 cases OF that nature are
taken up daily.
The Chief Magistrate. while setting
forth that the work OF the courts under
the Board Of City Magistrates has been
much more efficient for several reasons,
declares the law TO be absurd In some
parts. Magistrates can fine "A man who

Some of the favorable signs he points

operative coal mine which. " II proves
success, could be followed by similar OPP

acres OF unworked coal lands, which Gov
Ammons and the land board can rent at a
