TO COME UNDER
new BANK PLAN
First National Bank of Laurium
Takes Necessary Action

Application has peen made by the
directors of the Laurium FIRST Nation
al bank To come under the new federal
reserve plan. The matter came up for
reconsideration at the first meeting OF
| that board after the annual election
early this month and the application
was submitted without delay. There
is little doubt that favorable action
will he taken by Other national banks
of the copper country ON the matter
of operating under tn new plan, al
though few of the other institutions
have taken action as yet.
The copper country or the upper
peninsula are not Likely TO be consid
cred for one of the regional reserve
banks and realizing this situation. the
copper country national banks have
expressed a desire 10 be aligned with
the Chicago regional hank, that being
the closest and also the center with
which the copper country probably has
It's biggest business connections.
About the only advantage which
will be gained by copper country
banks CT others of tho medium class
will be greater security in the ease of
financial panics ana in emergencies
when securities which are ordinarily
regarded as hrst-class collateral arr
underestimate. Heretofore each bank
has been required to look out for it
self largely in this respect. Under the
new plan it will be possible for banks
post good securities with the regional
bank and receive in return such funds
as are needed. The aim Of the new
plan il to safeguard the banks and
public generally against financial
StringnnCics.

NAVAL OFFICERS WOULD
 ABOLISH PLUCktNG BOARD.
Pleased With Sec. Daniels Determin-
 ation to Ask For Change.

Washington, July 2.-Nava1 officers were discussing with qualification to- day Secretary Daniels announced determination to urge congress at its next session to repeal the law Of 1899, known as the personnel act, under whichf the "plucking board" picked fifteeH officers for compulsory retire ment this year. Included in the list of those whose active careers were ended yesterday by the recommenda- ton of the board. were several cap tafns with distinguished records. While the health of some of the of ficers ''plucked' had been regarded as somewhat unsatisfactory, the records of all of them disclosed, according to Secretary Daniels, that they were¬ unfitted for any naval service from the standpoint of habit, temperament and professional ability.
 Secretary Daniels hopes to have congress pass legislation to readjust the navys personnel so as to elimin- ate certain features of the present law which he considers objectionable. With all the '-palpabiy disqualified officers already eliminated the secre- tary hopes to so arrange the per sonnel that it will not be necessary to retire any of the thoroughly compe- tent officers now in the service
 The meetings of the "plucking board" which are annual affairs, are looked forward to with considerable apprehension by naval officers

PROMISED
 BY ARcHDUKE'S SLAYER
Claims He Was Deserted by Comrades
 in Shameful Manner.

Vienna. July 2-Nedeljo Gabrinovics,
 who threw the bomb at Archduke
 Francis Ferdinand and his wife while
 they were proceeding to the Sarayevo
 town hall last Sunday, today made
 complete confession, according to dis
 patches received from Sarayevo.
 In his confession Gabrinoyics says
 that after learning, while at Belgrade,
 that Archduke Francis Ferdinand was
 going to Sarayevo, he communicated
 with Gavric Prinzip, who fired the fa-
 tai shots, with the result that they
 resolved to go there and also kill
 the arehduke, the duchess and their suites and die themselves for the fatherland
 To obtain bombs they applied to
 Major Milan Pribitchevitch, secretary of a Pan-Servian Union and formerly an officer in the Austrian army, who had joined the Servians. Through him, Gabrinovics says, bombs and re- volvers were obtained from the Ser vian arsenal at Kraguyevatz Ga.brirovics undertook to find four other bomb throwers, and it was agreed that when the archduke was seen approaching each should hold a bomb in his right hand and a bottle of poison in his left hand ard that he should drink the poison after throwing ! the bomb.
 Gabrinovics succeeded in finding &C., complices, one of whom was a Bel grade student named Grabes. The con- 1 spirators travelled separately to Sara yevo where the bombs were divided i among them in a confectioner's shop I on the morning of the attempt. Ac- l cording to Gabrinovics, PrinZip told ] him he had given bombs and poison l to three other comrades, whose names 1 he did not divulge
 Prinzip, who had previously denied 1 he had any aecomplices, today broke | down under examination and exclaim- l ed: T now regret my crime for my comrades deserted me in a shameful manner. They should have thrown l the bombs. but the cowardly scoundrels did not. Consequently I revenge my self on them by betraying them Leave me alone until tomorrow and I will 1 give more details

 mits having received bombs and pois-
