MEMPHIS BANK CLOSES
BY DIRECTORS ORDERS
BANK PRESIDENT BLAMED WITH
SHORTAGE OF THREE QUARTERS
OF 4 MILLION

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 8. - Ten di-
rectors of the Mercantile Bank, one of
the most important financial institu-
tons in the city, today filed a perl
ton in court charging that the bank
was insolyent, as the result of the
.alleged misrepresentation of more than
$750,OOO by c. Hunter Raine, president
of the institution
In the petition Raine was held sole
responsible for the apparent short
age, approximating $78S,S05, which
it is charged he obtained "by a system
Of handling its drafts, property and
exchange in such a way as to de-
ceive the directors and to conceal his
manapulatons," the total amount of
which it was alleged he lost in spec
ulation.
The alleged discrepancy was dis
covered by representative of a New
York correspondent of the bank who
was sent to Memphis to audit the Mer-
cantile's books when loans requested
were found to be out Of proportion to
the amounts usually asked for at this
season of the year. His report to the
directors yesterday which brought
the situation to climax was the init
nation that the bank was no in a
prosperous condition, according to the
directors.
1t is stated that President Raine
who attended yesterdays meeting, alb
solved all of the officers and directors
of the bank of implication in the al
legged shortage and rendered his per
sonal estate, which he valued at $780,
900, to the bank. He has not yet been
arrested.

POLICE RAID A BIG
COCAINE RESORT

Atlanta, Feb, 10.-A number OF
white women and men, all alleged Co
caine ffends, were arrested by the po-
lice last night when they raided a
negro dive on Gilmer street.
The place has been operated for
some time by a negro woman, the po-
lice declare, and for weeks past they
have been watching it. Last night men
were posted around the building, and
after thirteen people were seen to en-
ter the place and none come out, the
net was drawn close and the raid made,
The detectives say that the cocaine
habit, which few years ago was con
fined almost exclusively to the negroes,
has found way among the whites, pas
ticularly of the poorer classes, and
that it is a worse form of drug slavery
than either whiskey drinking or NOR
phine.

TWICE MARRIED;

CLAIMS NEITHER
STATUS OF A GEORGIA GIRL
Mrs. Oliver, Much Married,
Lives Alone

What is now her legal status, matIi-
moniaIly, is a question propounded
by Mrs. Rosebud Oliyer-English for
mer wife of former banker and If
nancier" A. D. Oliver, who, while twice
married and with both her former hus-
bands living, cannot, it seems, under
stand the real situation. Such is the
news coming from ThomasWlle where,
it is said, the young woman has been
seeking legal advice.
A. D. Oliver, husband No. I, was in
Americas a day or two ago and r.
ferred most kindly to his wife, "tle
woman in the case" whom he said he
still regarded highly. She was fer
merly Miss Rosebud English, and Oil
yer married her at Climax several
years ago, when his financial star was
fairly sizzling with brilliancy.
When Oliver was thrown into bank
ruptcy and his case carried into the
courts, though charges of all sorts
were brought against him, the only
one on which he was convicted was
bigamy, it being alleged that as L. c.
Harding he had already been married
in Mississippi, and his wife was still
living.
With this, as it was then thought,
proven, the wife he had married in
Climax as Oliver felt that she was not
a wife and went back to her mother.
Some time afterwards in Atlanta she
married Mr.. James, who claimed to
be selling mining stock. She went
west with him but left him in a short
time, claiming that he had mistreated
her badly, and not long ago she OBJ

GLOOMY VIEW OF TIMES.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Speaker
Champ Clark told a Christian Endeay-

world within a few hours.
The speaker declared nothing made
him more angry than to hear people
say that public men Of the present day
are corrupt. The peoples representa-
tives in Washington, he said, are hon
est, conscientious servants" Ninety
nine per cent of the men sent to con
gress, he added, leave poorer than they
come
Discussing the hardships resulting
where several churches are struggling
in a single small town, Mr. Clark said
he hoped some day to see his own
the Christian, or Campbellite,
and the Baptist one great denomina-
ton. Their beliefs, he said, were near
enough to warrant them in joining
hands.

Unless there is proper regard for the handling of such trade, a desire and willingness to abide by the requirements of the law for the benefit which it will be to humanity before consideration is given to the financial return which comes from such sales. there must be an enforcement Of the law.
